Cornell went on to win in OT by a score of 3-2.

Alongside Sullinger and Thomas from Ohio State and Andre Hollins from Minnesota. Green was named Most Outstanding Player.

I can't help but feel Thornton was snubbed there a bit.

Tom Izzo said AD Mark Hollis was in contact with the NCAA yesterday about a possible "special pardon" to get Delvon Roe in uniform Sunday.

He's hired an agent, reportedly. Best of luck to Mr. Worthy, he's been a great one at MSU.

In case you were unable to get some of MSU's tickets.

Very powerful point about where our focus as a society ought to be at this time. May not be a comfortable read for all.

"Penn State athletic director Tim Curley requested to be placed on administrative leave so he could devote the time needed to defend himself against perjury and other charges, university President Graham Spanier said. Gary Schultz, vice president for finance and business, will step down and go back into retirement, Spanier said. He declined to comment to reporters after the meeting."

Given the source, and the high number of anonymous sources, I cannot say I know any of this is true. I believe that at least some of it is.

No matter that, this is definitely an entertaining read.

Man assaulted in Ann Arbor Saturday night because of his MSU shirt.

Excellent speech by Cousins, and definitely makes me glad he's one of ours. Jim Delany declared this possibly the best player speech he's ever seen at Media Days.

In news that's way cooler and makes me feel good about our AD...

This is of particular importance to us, since we are scheduled to be that fifth game. One small advantage we may have going into Columbus next season.

[Bump for we pay attention when a new banner is going up at Breslin. Congrats to the ladies. -KJ]

They can win the title for themselves by beating Ohio State on Thursday night at home.

Poster "Giant Moose" finds pictures of OSU-Arkansas merch in the Sugar Bowl's image directory. FYI, this is the same poster that broke the news about the rebranding effort.

"Chris L. Rucker will be out of Ingham County Jail on Thursday. He's been in since last Thursday, after a plea agreement that knocked his operating while intoxicated charge down to reckless driving.

Rucker ended up getting a 10-day sentence and two years of probation, to run concurrently with the one year of probation he received in March. He got a day of credit for the night in jail he spent after his arrest, and another because each week at Ingham knocks a day off a sentence.

MSU has no comment and no update on Rucker's status today. Mark Dantonio has his weekly news conference Tuesday."

I expect MSU to make it to 3 or 4 in the BCS standings, as the computers have been high on MSU so far this season.

Phil Steele's in headline, SI's list is here.

Both have Greg Jones First team AA. SI has Conroy and Bates as Second team AA. Phil Steele also lists Conroy as Second team AA, as well as Trenton Robinson as Third team AA.

[Bump. --LVS.]

Jones has earned a split honor earlier this year. This also marks the seventh consecutive week where at least one MSU player has won a player of the week honor from the conference.

Stanzi is your OPOTW, Gilreath is your STPOTW, Rob Henry is your freshman of the week.

[Bumped. Credit where credit is due . . . --LVS.]

This is an unbelievable turnaround after taking so much of the blame for last year's mediocre season. Let's hope this continues and it's not just a fluke that the D has improved.

I can't believe he hasn't been banned from entering the state after what he did to the Lions.
