Doug Lynott, a good friend of the site, and 1998 graduate of Michigan State, published a festive Christmas poem with a Spartan theme. Happy holidays and go GREEN!

Twas the night before Christmas and down in East Lansing

The Spartans were smartin’ from another de-pantsing

At the hands of their rivals from down at the U

The ones whose foul mascot belongs in the zoo

They played the game close, victory seemed assured

But the team lost its nerve and they laid a big

Third in a row, they had lost the home match-up

And once again find themsevles stuck playing catch-up

Still, there’s always next year, Spartan hopes remain high

Until then, we’ll look back at this loss and just sigh

But we’ll also look forward, and I’ll tell you the reason:

At least Spartans are happy it’s Basketball Season!

Happy Holidays from Sparty!
