What various Sparty’s are saying

  • SpartyMSU: 2008 Game 8: MSU vs. Ohio State. “The Spartans match up well in this game…  The Big Mo is with the Green and White”
  • The Enlightened Spartan. “Can the Spartan defense contain Pryor enough? YES. Can the Spartan defense cause turnovers and stay steadfast in the red zone? YES. Can the Spartan offense get an efficient game from Hoyer to balance the Ringer running game? YES. What does that mean? Spartan victory.”
  • GreenandWhite. Lansing press coverage

Oh and let’s not forget this classic moment from the 05 game in which Sparty lost in classic Sparty fashion.

A SWOT Analysis On America.

Those elite Michigan grads

Apple to release networked HDTVs

13 October 2008

Calacanis: Apple to release networked HDTVs - Nate Lanxon, MP3 & Digital Music Editor - Technology Blog at CNET.co.uk. – this would be good. The current state of the world where you have to buy some separate box and whack it into your media center to get IP-delivered content is just not going to succeed, the mainstream isn’t going to go thru this brain damage. The IP receiver has to be built into the TV or the media receiver or some other piece that people understand and know they need.
