Roller Hockey B-Team

Roller Hockey B-Team
This team may be MSU’s best-kept secret. By Brandon Howell Demonstration Hall doesn’t look like a building that houses greatness.  A decrepit edifice, it stands as a vestige of the previous century.  The building that hosted a wide variety of activities at Michigan State University when it...

Olympics: The time for patriotism

Olympics: The time for patriotism
By Dave Cobb The Olympic games come every two years.  Whether it’s summer or winter, the Olympics are an event to behold.  The Winter Olympics are well underway, and they aren’t disappointing.  The US is leading the medal race thus far, so we have plenty to cheer about.  But what the Olympic...

Longhorns: not a good choice

Longhorns: not a good choice
By Christine Yanosik On Friday night, ESPN had a preliminary talk on whether or not a specific team would join the Big Ten Conference.  I have heard talks of Syracuse and Rutgers calling the Big Ten their new home but I never thought this team would be considered: The Texas Longhorns. Yes, it’s true....

Vancouver 2010: Men’s Hockey Preview

Vancouver 2010: Men’s Hockey Preview
By Jacob Kanclerz I know everyone is just geeked for curling and figure skating, but I am so ready for Men’s Olympic Hockey. Since 1998, the Games have been star struck with NHL players, and a lot of countries boast stacked all-star rosters that are going to be putting on a dynamite display of hockey....

Top 5 Super Bowl commercials

Top 5 Super Bowl commercials
By Dave Cobb The Super Bowl, one of the most anticipated times of the year. Everyone watches, some for the game, but more for the commercials. Let’s face it, only a handful of people actually care what happens in the game.  The rest only care about betting squares, the party, or the commercials. Advertisers...

The Spartan logo debate

The Spartan logo debate
By Lane Blackmer From the classic and friendly Sparty to the edgy and angry Spartan; MSU students and fans alike seem to be coming to a general consensus on the new Spartan logo, and that consensus is negative. As part of a new marking plan sponsored by Nike, MSU has changed its logo. Athletic Director...

The cost of our new identity

The cost of our new identity
In April 2010, the face of Spartan Athletics may look a bit different and – let’s face it – not many are happy about it.  For some fans, alumni, and students, the new design is overly drawn; for others it’s just the issue of change itself.  Here at Spartanedge, our focus has been on the...

Tom Izzo: PR Mastermind

By Brandon Howell This time last week, most of the Michigan State fan base was engulfed in controversy over the new logo the school’s athletic department accidentally leaked (Damn you, US Patent Office!). With many alumni, fans and donors (oh, my!) upset, the university’s public relations were working...

Beating Rivals and Taking Names

By Christine Yanosik This week the Spartans faced two teams, Michigan and Northwestern. To win each one would give Michigan State more than “just another win.” First, the Spartans faced their in-state rival, the arch-nemesis Michigan Wolverines. Looking at each teams’ season up to the game, it...

Squeaking by to get the W

By Christine Yanosik A Spartan win, 65-64, is a score that no one could have predicted before tip-off. Winning its last meeting with the Gophers by seven, getting the one-point victory and barely walking away with a win for the Spartans was a shock. The Minnesota Gophers seemed to have everything go...

Two Wins Prove Spartan Strength

Two Wins Prove Spartan Strength
By Christine Yanosik I am proud to be a Spartan. I am very proud of the men’s basketball team. This week, the men’s basketball team had a lot to handle. Winning both games would put the team at the No. 1 spot in the Big Ten conference. Wednesday, the Spartans took on the Minnesota Gophers. The entire...
