East Lansing — Forget the piles of snow still lining the edge of the Michigan State practice fields.
It was the first practice of the spring on Tuesday afternoon, and it felt like it, both in terms of temperature and in the moods of the Spartans.
Fresh off what can best be described as a revival last fall — quickly turning around the misery of 2016 into a 10-win season complete with another bowl victory and a second-place finish in the Big Ten East — the Spartans hit the field ready to prove the foundation has been solidified for a program that has won 10 or more games in six of the last eight seasons.
