I can’t, in good faith, begin without some non-MSU related content. I was absolutely gutted and despondent this morning. Last night was supposed to be the beginning of the Detroit Lions playoff run; the streets of downtown Detroit were supposed to transform into a party as soon as the game went final. And then, my Lions suffered the latest chapter in their tortured, cursed history. As a Lions fan, I am forced to now settle into mock draft season, returning to the long-familiar reality where the NFL Draft is “the Lions’ Super Bowl.” At least for another year, the actual Super Bowl remains a dream.
