Sports: Magic Johnson on MSU making the big game, 30 years later

  • To have this school come in and do what it’s doing right now, to make everybody feel good and have something to cheer about instead of more bad news … Then, when you think about what it’s going to do for the economy, oh, my goodness.
  • MSU (and NBA) legend Magic Johnson • Talking about MSU making the championship game, 30 years after he faced Larry Bird in this game – and during a particularly tough time for the state’s economy, doing it locally (the Final Four was held in Detroit this season). We’re unashamed MSU fans and just devoted a ton of space to them. You got a problem with it? • source

Sports: Oh, and Michigan State did its alumni proud today

  • Yay home team! Rah! Rah! The No. 2 Spartans toppled No. 1 Louisville to get to the Final Four. They totally ruined our bracket, but we couldn’t think of a better team to ruin our bracket. (Note to fans of ShortFormBlog: We went to Michigan State University, graduated from its journalism program and hold a strong affinity for the school, Panchero’s burritos, Gumby’s Pizza, McDonel Hall and Tom Izzo. In fact, we think Izzo is the Midwestern Coach K that you can’t find a good reason to hate, so you love him. That is all.) source
