"THE Week"

This weekend marks the key college football game that I have been looking foward to since ..... April, Michigan State vs Michigan. Both teams are undefeated with Michigan State being ranked #17 in the Associated Press Poll and # 16 in the USA Today's Coaches' Poll and Michigan is ranked #18 in the AP Poll and #17 in the Coaches' Poll. This is going to be a game and a half! I am very confident with my Spartan team and I really believe that the defense can stop Denard Robinson. Michigan's defense is among the worst in the country and the Spartans will put up some big yards and score a lot of points. The only part of Michigan's game that worries me is the passing game. MSU's secondary has not really been tested this year yet. Dane Crist made them look bad when Notre Dame came into town, but hopefully that was a wake up call.

Michigan State's defense has already recorded six interceptions this year, this matches ALL of last year. Two of the interceptions came at the hands of Greg Jones. If you have not seen him play you should (even though I only know of one person who reads my blogs and he saw Greg Jones personally (Hi Kyle)). The run defense has only allowed 3 rushing touchdowns this year. Last week, the MSU defense held John Clay under 100 yards rushing for the first time in 15 games for him.

Michigan State's offense features Kirk Cousins at quarterback, this guy is a very good player. He has completed a little over 60% of his passes and has thrown only 4 interception. The offensive line has been giving him plenty of time to make plays. Le'veon Bell is a GREAT freshman running back who has been gaining yards in tons, he has 7 TDs this season already. Edwin Baker is another running back who is averaging about the same stats with Bell. The receivers have been amazing also, B.J. Cunningham, Charlie Gantt, Mark Dell, ect. One of those receivers is Keshawn Martin who can make plays at any position. Throughout his career he has scored touchdowns by reception, rushing, punt return, kickoff return and one other way that I cannot think of right now.

Know as I finish up saying the reasons why I think Michigan State will win I want to leave with a video of a play that gave Michigan State momentum up to this very day.

The Wonderful Feeling of Fall

This is the time of year I love. The air starts to cool down, leaves start to change color, Halloween decorations start popping up, you hear the crunch of the leave under your feet, and college football is back in session! But with the coming of fall come the return of school. This year is exciting because this is my last year of classes before I start to student teach! I am really excited about getting to start my life here in just a few short years.

This past week was my first week back to Baker College after having a month to rest my brain. I started the quarter off with a Geography class. I enter the room to see that I had numerous friends that I would be able to share this class with for the next ten weeks. After that class, I headed over to my English senior seminar. There were only a couple of people that I did not know in the class but I knew a majority of the class. Come to find out, I am the only guy in the class (no complaints here). On top of that, one of my all time favorite instructors at Baker College is teaching the class! The next day it was onto Language and Culture after a long day of work in the L.S.S. The instructor in the class seems to be a great instructor, but that does not matter when a good portion of the class is a bunch of whiners. These people made a big fuss over everything the instructor was doing. I almost walked out of the class. How can people be so rude? But the good thing about this class is that there is a special someone in this class with me ... To the next day I had the second installment of Geography and onto my Math Senior Seminar, in which my fellow classmates have been stuck with me in a number of classes over the past year and a half, so we know each other well. The instructor in this class is another one of my favorites instructors at Baker.

That is it for now so until next time take it easy and GO GREEN!
