Dan, you're right on with your assessment of the this year's Tiger team. They were never quite able to put it all together at the same time--never quite firing on all cylinders. Still, it was a fun and exciting season. And when I feel myself becoming to despondent, I try to recall the "dark ages" of twelve straight losting seasons between 1994-2005, and how comparatively great we Tiger fans have had it since.

Congratulations to Greg Jones. At the end of last year, he said he was returning to MSU to win a Big Ten championship, and he accomplished that goal. He has represented the university with class and dignity and I wish him the very best in the future.
