Michigan State fans had high hopes Aaron Burbridge could enter the Spartans program and provide instant results as a wide receiver. However, an injury suffered prior to his arrival has now changed those hopes. Is the loss of Burbridge a concern?

The Spartans appear to be in for an offensive makeover this season.
Michigan State threw for more yards last year than anyone in the Big Ten with 3,535. But head quarterback Kirk Cousins is off to the NFL along with his favorite receivers, B.J. Cunningham and Keshawn Martin. Dependable receiver Keith Nichol and starting tight end Brian Linthicum also are gone.
The Spartans won...

The radio show, hosted by Andrew Coppens, managing editor of Madtown Badgers -- friends on the Bloguin network, is running through the Big Ten right now on the Big Ten Countdown to Kickoff.
Check it out below. We...

The plan is to gather 16-Nike sponsored college basketball teams and divide them into two eight-team tournaments.
This tournament will be arranged...

If the season started today, junior Jairus Jones would be the starting free safety for the Michigan State football team, according to Secondary Coach Harlon Barnett.
“Currently, Jairus Jones has moved over there and is going with the first group,” Barnett said during an interview at Case Hall on Aug. 17. “That happened earlier in the week and he’s earned it. He’s been making...

Days after Stewart Mandel listed MSU as a team that could break the SEC's BCS title streak, the Spartans were ranked No. 8 in the publication's preseason rankings.
Here is what Mallory Rubin wrote about the Spartans:

After back-to-back 11-win seasons - and four straight wins over Michigan - the Michigan State Spartans are missing one big item on their recent resume.
A trip to the Rose Bowl.
Coach Mark Dantonio's team has certainly come close. Two years ago, Michigan State finished in a three-way tie at the top of the Big Ten with Wisconsin and Ohio State, losing out to the Badgers in a...

Part II from Michael Wilsom of http://www.thelittlebrotherblog.com/
They say that defense wins championships, and if that is the case, Michigan State should win a lot of them. The Spartans had a top-five defense last season, and return eight of 11 starters in 2012. Led by monster defensive end Will Gholston, the Spartans play with a tremendous amount of swagger and tenacity.http...
With the announced injury to Michigan State left guard Blake Treadwell, Jack Allen will have a chance to show why the Spartan coaches have been excited about the redshirt freshman since he arrived on campus last year.
After earning an offer from his camp performance this summer, Chicago (Ill.) De La Salle offensive lineman Jamarco Jones has stayed busy and added a few more offers. Where does Michigan State stand with the 2014 offensive lineman?
