Some games don’t just open a season — they announce a statement. And in 1998, Notre Dame delivered one loud enough to echo all the way from South Bend to Ann Arbor.

For the most part, yesterday’s basketball game between Michigan State and Duke was everything it had promised to be – two heavyweight teams exchanging blows. In the end, our Spartans fell a little short and the Blue Devils continued to be Tom Izzo’s Achilles’ heel. And as I said to friends I spoke to afterwards, […]

What up, TOC Nation? We have two more questions for you this week, and I think the opinions on these are going to be a bit more impassioned than the fluff piece we put out over Thanksgiving. We have a new football coach and we have already seen the whole spectrum of reactions from you. […]

And now, here in the fall of 2025, he’s already got a new job, within the conference no less! NU’s Big Ten […] The post Ex-Northwestern Coach Pat Fitzgerald Takes Michigan State Job appeared first on The Sports Bank .

We’ve come a long way from Curt Cignetti saying Ohio State sucks into a microphone at Assembly Hall. That comment, which included jabs at rival Purdue and Michigan, was made to fire up a home crowd and energize a moribund fanbase immediately after Cignetti’s hiring in Bloomington. It also served as a way of punching […]

Michigan State played one hack of a defensive game against UNC, holding the Heels to a 38% shooting average and clamping down on UNC’s shooting from beyond the arc for a 74-58 win. A combination of poor play on UNC’s part and excellent execution on the Spartans led to the Heels suffering their first loss […]

Down by three points with two minutes left, Maryland football just needed a stop to give its potent offense a chance to tie the game or take the lead. Michigan State was staring down the barrel of a fourth-and-7 from Maryland’s 10-yard line. The Terps were 0-of-2 on fourth down Saturday night in Detroit. But […]
