💚 ONE BIG THING

🔼 From the Desk of J Batt. “Spartans, 

It’s Homecoming at Michigan State, and although it’s early in the week, there’s a palpable energy growing across campus. I expect that to build throughout the week, culminating in Saturday’s football game vs. UCLA. After three straight home games to open the season, it feels as if it’s been too long since the entire Michigan State community came together to cheer on the Green and White in Spartan Stadium. When toe meets leather this Saturday, it will be nearly a month in between home football games.”
