Linking Laconically is ready for some football

Less than 24 hours from now, we will have gotten our first glimpse at the 2014 MSU football team, and we will have learned almost nothing. As Pete said today, it's hard to take away much from the spring game, but gosh darnit I'm still excited. We'll get a look at some guys we haven't seen play before, something fun is bound to happen, and it's freakin' football, so who cares about anything else?
