The MSU Spartans will kick off the 2007-08 season with the traditional “Midnight Madness” event. This season, however, will be quite different. Instead of Tom Izzo going ape and climbing down the Breslin Arena rafters on a rope, the event will involve ice–Biggie Munn style. Munn Arena (http://www.munnicearena.com/) will be the venue for both the men’s and women’s teams. The event is slated to begin at 9 PM. It will be quite interesting to see how the court looks in the arena. The 6,500 or so seat arena should provide a quaint setting for the event. Over the years, I believe that the men’s hockey team has really dropped the ball in not having a big hockey event at Breslin. So it is nice to see Tom Izzo and Ron Mason finally getting more creative with their sports venues. It’s about time.

Stay tuned for our season preview coming soon and overview of the Big Ten season. Go Green!
