Spartan Brew 10/9: From the Desk of J Batt

J Batt has a message for Spartans during Homecoming Week!

Good morning, Spartans! See you this weekend!

What else do we have brewing today?

🏀 Talkin’ hoops
🏒 Let the games begin
💚 And much, much more

🔼 Spartans In The Spotlight. Michigan State women’s basketball was represented by head coach Robyn Fralick, Grace VanSlooten and Theryn Hallock at Big Ten Media Day in Chicago on Wednesday!

🔼 Real Deal. No. 2 Michigan State hockey officially opens its season tonight, hosting New Hampshire for the first of a two-game series at Munn Ice Arena at 7 p.m.!

Michigan State volleyball is back home for Homecoming Weekend with a pair of B1G Ten Matchups! On Friday, Oct. 10, the Spartans take on Iowa at 7:30 p.m. in our Domestic Violence Awareness Match, as Michigan State volleyball partners with Michigan State’s Center for Survivors. On Sunday, Oct. 12 at 1:00 p.m., Michigan State will take on Indiana as we celebrate our international Spartans for International Students Day.

🔼 Rivalry Revisited. Michigan State women’s soccer heads to enemy territory today, taking on Michigan at 7 p.m. in Ann Arbor.

The Spartans currently sit in a tie for third place in the Big Ten standings with 12 points through six matches, while the Wolverines are ninth with eight points at 2-2-2.

💚 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.”
