Happy holidays, Michigan State football fans, and what a year it has been. How it started was with a prediction of just a handful of wins and a potential last place finish in the Big Ten East. How it’s going is a 10-win season, a victory over the Michigan Wolverines, a spot in the New Year’s Six, and a newly-minted top-25 recruiting class. Life is good in East Lansing.
From a more national point of view, we are about to enter one of the most entertaining times on the college sports calendar: bowl season! While some would argue that there are too many bowls and that they don’t matter, I would simply counter that arguing for less football to watch, as a sports fan, is foolish.
