Pre-game Links (includes football)

A Beautiful Day for Football has changed to Shaw Lane Spartans and has been on fire with excellent and detailed posts. Their live feed is currently invalid, so it does not appear in the Link Resource at the bottom of the page. I have put in a request for repair. I'll you know when I add it.

Spartan Human Interest Stories. Who Knew?

While Delvon Roe sits the bench Sunday waiting for his queue to go to center court and kisses the S - you might appreciate it more after reading this.

A Spartan senior will end his career with the last laugh and a degree. When 4-years old, experts told his parents that he would be able to finish high school and live just fine in a group home. He has a developmental stunting form of autism. Get to know this Spartan before his kisses the S.

When you see Draymond Green kiss the S on Sunday, it might mean more to you if you knew this about him.

The Spartan football staff's pay ranked #11 in Big Ten before recent raises. Dantonio springs huge gift to promote "family" in the program and loyalty to Michigan State.

Here is an update on the most important personnel issue for Spartan Football in 2012.

MSU Football Picks Up Verbals From Safety and 2nd Running Back

Continuing his methodical recruiting and player analysis, Dantonio continues to recruit for need, not just "best player available" and continues to stay ahead of recruiting services.

These players have not yet been rated by major recruiting services. But it appears both will be rated highly when grading is complete.

The Spartans now have four verbal "commitments" for the 2013 class. They still have to play their senior year in high school, but Dantonio has earned the trust is his evaluation processes. I'll take his judgement over recruiting services or the "offer every highly rated player method employed in chUMpsville".

For the record, of chUMps 2013 verbals, MSU has lost a few head-to-head to them, but Dantonio had not offered the vast majority of them. I believe that chUMps offered at least two of the four MSU's verbal commits.

Reader Comment from that post: Per the OSU rivals page, they have Powell ranked above two players who already earned 4 stars. Powell is still waiting on being graded and ranked. Shelton is sorta the Ringer to Holmes being the Caulcrick. Thunder and lightening coming back to MSU to take over after Bell and Thompson move on to NFL.
