Linking Laconically is switching gears

The football team wrapped up the regular season Saturday with a pretty convincing 34-10 win over Penn State to finish with a somehow disappointing 10-2 record that shows how spoiled MSU fans have become. Now, it will be about a month before the Spartans take the field again, so if you haven't started turning your focus to the basketball team, this week would be a good time to start.
