"I’ve seen it. I have the dvd. I’m so tired"
2026/09/29
A demoralizing loss to Nebraska at home. How do we recalibrate with the (now confirmed to be season-ending) injury to Cam Edwards? What other hobbies can we pick up while we wait for basketball?
Also, where does MSU sit, really, in the B10 when measured by spend? What is our real peer group.
Free Athletic article, for reference.
