Max Bullough done at Michigan State

The Spartans will be without starting linebacker Max Bullough (sr.) for the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. In a statement by Mark Dantonio on Christmas night, it was announced that Bullough was suspended for the bowl game. Max is projected to be a fifth round draft pick in the upcoming draft. The team will make no further comment on the issue.

Detroit Lions 2013: The Collapse, The Coach, and The Curse

The Detroit Lions lost an overtime snoozer to the Giants this past Sunday afternoon. They lost five of their last six and now sit at third place with a 7-8 record. The Lions have skidded out and they probably will fire Coach Schwartz. They have been dismal against .500+ teams since Schwartz joined the team.

The Good Bad and Ugly of Sports right now

The Good:

The Detroit Tigers hired Brad Ausmus to lead a revamped coaching staff that should invigorate next year's team. Last week Prince "Soft Pretzel" Fielder was traded away to Texas for second baseman Ian Kinsler. Kinsler is a 20-20 guy that slots in the top of the lineup while being cheaper then Prince's $219 million, 9 year deal. Cabrera moves back to first and Castellanos starts at third.
Projected Lineup:
Jackson, CF
Kinsler, 2B
Hunter, RF
Cabrera, 1B
Martinez, DH
Castellanos, 3B
Dirks, LF
Avila, C
Iglesias, SS
MSU Spartans: Football is heading to next weekend's Big Ten championship against #4 Team from Columbus, Ohio. Basketball is #1 after beating former #1 Kentucky, followed by a nailbiter against Columbia.

2013 World Series Quick Preview: St. Louis Cardinals at Boston, plus Tigers update

Preview

The Boston hitters have to face a tough pitching staff and St Louis has rolled through the playoffs pretty easily. St Louis has a decent lineup that will get to the Red Sox pitchers eventually. Ortiz and Victorino won't hit enough, and no amount of facial hair will help. If I want to see beards, I'll watch Duck Dynasty at 10pm tonight. The Cardinals bats get hot, and St Louis is the 2013 champion.

Tigers lose ALCS Game 5 and MSU Volleyball lost too on Thursday

MSU Volleyball

#5 MSU lost at the #10 Minnesota Golden Gophers 23-25, 25-21, 24-26, 25-22, 15-7 in a tough road loss. The Spartans are at Wisconsin Sunday (2p)

The Puddy-Tats

The Detroit Tigers dropped a heartbreaker 4-3. Annabelle Sanchez gave up 4 runs and got the lost. Anibal had a near-no-hitter his last start against Boston. The Bloody Red Sox are one win away from going to the World Series with just one out of two wins needed at Fenway Park. Obviously, there were a lot of dejected Tigers fans around school today. Speaking of bloody, Prince Fielders bat has been bloody awful this postseason... Cabrera set a bad tone tone with his horrible baserunning error in the first.

Joe Furia gets a hat trick, leads Detroit to 31-17 win over the Browns

Lions TE Joe Furia caught three touchdown passes from Matthew Stafford on his only three receptions. He had 248 passing yards and another TD pass to Reggie Bush.

Tigers at Red Sox ALCS Game 2 Lineups and Prediction

Iglesias is out, Kelly is in LF, and Peralta slots over to SS.

ALCS Game 1 Recap: Tigers One-Hit The Red Sox

Through 4 innings, Anibal Sanchez was en fuego and had 9 strikeouts, retiring 12 of the first 15 batters with three walks. The Tigers hadn't scored off Jon Lester either.

My ALCS Prediction: Tigers vs. Red Sox

The Tigers face a tough challenge against the Boston Red Sox. It's a 2-3-2 format with the middle three in Detroit. The Tigers face a tough challenge as the Bloody Sox had the best record in the American League. Also, the Sox could go up 2-0 with the first two games at Fenway.
