We're blogging with a vim!
I just realized I never put this one out last week. Hope none of you missed any MSU action as a result. This coming week, we have another full schedule, beginning tonight with the second game of MSU’s hockey series at Wisconsin as we seek a sweep. But before I get into the sports slate, […]
Hey TOC Nation, the college football season is down to this one last game. The Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes will meet Monday night at 7:30 PM ET. The game is being played at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, where the Canes play their home games, giving a potential home field advantage to the […]
Tonight at 9pm EST the Michigan State Spartans will take the ice against number 2 ranked Wisconsin in game one of a two game match in Madison. The Spartans are looking for revenge after being swept by the Badgers earlier this season at Munn in two one goal losses. For the Spartans to keep the […]
Welcome back to another round of Reacts Surveys. This week we have just one question for you. Before you get to that, please remember to sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. So far in this transfer portal season, MSU has 26 new names that have committed to playing in Green & […]
This Monday, January 13th, marked the official end of the holidays for Michigan State students, as they returned to campus for the spring semester. Often times the end of the holidays and re-starting of school can bring about a brutal, sluggish start to the New Year, adjusting from the leisurely pace of winter break. The […]
Gonna be a Tuesday Night Tussle in East Lansing as a couple of the great programs in the history of college basketball take to the Breslin floor. Game is at 7 PM ET and will be on Peacock. Let me hear you!
Michigan State will complete a three game homestand tomorrow with the first of two matchups this season against the Indiana Hoosiers. Indiana was the last team to defeat the Spartans in the regular season last year, and did so at the Breslin Center. The Spartans, of course, went on to a Big Ten regular season […]
The weekend started out promising with a dominating victory on Friday but the Saturday close loss and upcoming schedule puts the Spartans in big hole to win the conference. State trails the conference leader by 8 points which isn’t an impossible task, but it definitely narrows the margin of error significantly. Friday’s game was a […]
We had some lower participation this year than in the past, so there are not as many options for us to vote on. As such, this voting process is going to be structured a little differently. In the comment section below, I will leave a comment for each player whose nickname is up for debate. […]
Spartan hockey is back in action this weekend and on the road against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State comes in at 6-11-1 and 2-6-0 in B1G. Friday’s game is a 6:30pm start time and Saturday the puck drops at 5:00pm. Both games will be available to watch on B1G+. MSU starts their gauntlet B1G […]
After a convincing Monday win against USC, Michigan State returned to the Breslin Center to face the Northwestern Wildcats, a team that has been a bit of a thorn in the Spartans’ side over the last several years. The Spartans and Wildcats have split their last eight meetings and Northwestern has two wins in the […]
Good evening everyone. I know we have a basketball game tonight, but I wanted to kick this out before the CFP Semifinals begin while our game is going on. We asked TOC Nation this week for your thoughts on the last four teams still playing football. More than 2/3 of us are hoping to see […]
After a 29-point shellacking of USC, MSU looks to keep the good vibes going as Northwestern comes to town. Game is at 6:30 PM ET and will be on BTN. Let me hear you!
On Monday night, the Michigan State Spartans took all their frustrations from a rough loss to Nebraska out on the visiting USC Trojans to the tune of a 29-point victory. On Thursday night, MSU will look to begin a new winning streak, and with no ranked opponents on the schedule until January 30, it seems […]
It’s hard to believe that it has only been month since the 2025 season ended for Michigan State. Since the 38-28 victory over Maryland at Ford Field, MSU football has been an absolute whirlwind. Coach Pat Fitzgerald was announced as the next Spartan Head Coach on December 2nd, and since then he has been busy […]
Hey TOC, we got a couple quick questions for you this week. With the college football season down to its last four teams, we want to know who you think will come out on top and also who you are cheering for. Oh, and one last reminder to get your nominations in for player nicknames. […]
After a disappointing and turnover-filled performance Monday in Lincoln, NE, Michigan State returned home to face USC, just one of just four Big Ten teams (including the B1G tournament) to have defeated the Spartans last year. It was the Izzone Alumni Night at the Breslin Center and the Spartans took the floor with Divine Ugochukwu […]
It’s a must-win game for both teams tonight, as the Spartans and the Trojans are looking to avoid a 2-game losing streak to open up 2026. Which squad can bounce back and get the W in this latest battle from Greek Mythology? Game is at 8:30 PM ET and will be on FS1. Let me […]
A few MSU winter sports teams are already underway with their seasons while several others are set to start soon. Let’s take a quick look at what’s happening in the broader world of MSU Sports. Besides men’s basketball and hockey, women’s basketball, wrestling, and indoor track & field are underway with their seasons. Women’s Basketball […]
Before we get into this preview, a quick reminder to make your suggestions for nicknames for the Spartans basketball roster. Now, on to USC. Your ninth ranked Michigan State Spartans will be back in action at home Monday night to take on their fourth Big Ten opponent of the 2025-26 campaign: the USC Trojans (12-2, […]
It is time to revive an annual tradition, one that goes back many generations, and decide on nicknames for our Michigan State Spartans Basketball Team. I know we are coming off an upsetting loss last night, but let’s not let that cloud our thought process and remember this is still a very good team. Okay, […]
Happy Friday, TOC Nation. Feels like there has been an abundance of articles these past two days. Hope you all are enjoying having content again after a few quieter weeks here. This past week, we asked you for your thoughts on MSU’s new offensive coordinator, Nick Sheridan. I have to admit that the results surprised […]
Before the game started, it was announced that Divine Ugochukwu was out with an illness. Kur Teng got the start at shooting guard. Even without missing a starter, we knew this was going to be a tough game. I don’t think anyone imagined it being as ugly as it was. There was a slow start […]
Here we go! Big Ten conference play is in full effect, and we are getting 2026 started with a top 25 matchup as our #9 Spartans visit the undefeated #13 Nebraska Cornhuskers. Time to see if MSU can pick its level of play back up to what it was when we were taking down ranked […]
I hope you all enjoyed your New Year’s. Good luck to you all with your resolutions. The new year is already off and running for MSU as our Women’s Basketball Team picked up a road win over Indiana yesterday. And we have plenty of action coming up over the next week. Let’s take a look. […]
