Spartan Brew 9/27: Bright Lights, B1G Game

Michigan State football hosts No. 3 Ohio State at Spartan Stadium tomorrow night!

Good morning! There are Spartans all over the rankings this week!

What else do we have brewing today?

🏈 Under the lights
🏐 B1G time
💚 And much, much more

Every season we give it everything we have. We give our strength, we give our souls and so much more – it’s in our blood. And now we can give that too. This season, Abbott and the Big Ten are pitting school against school in the largest blood donation competition of our lifetime to fight the largest blood shortage in a generation.

Want Michigan State to win? Then don't give up. Give blood. Every donation scores one point for your school on the leaderboard.

The winning school will receive $1 million to advance student or community health.

Individual donors will be offered a free one month subscription to B1G+ and will be entered to win a trip to the 2024 Discover® Big Ten Football Championship Game on December 7, 2024.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Bright Lights. Michigan State football plays host to No. 3 Ohio State tomorrow night at 7:30 p.m. on Peacock, on a night that former head coach Mark Dantonio will be recognized for his induction into both the College Football Hall of Fame and Michigan State Ring of Honor! Get ready for game day with us:

🔼 Call It Even. No. 1 Michigan State women’s soccer’s unbeaten streak remains, as the Spartans played No. 11 Ohio State to a 2-2 draw Thursday night in Columbus.

The Buckeyes scored first in the 27th minute, but back-to-back Spartan goals from Meg Hughes and Kaitlyn Parks gave the Green & White a lead. That lead would only last about 13 minutes, until Ohio State found the equalizer in the 61st minute.

Michigan State is back in action at home this Sunday, hosting Rutgers at noon for Alumni Day.

🔼 B1G Time. Michigan State volleyball kicks off Big Ten play this weekend with a pair of matches on the road — the Spartans are in Ann Arbor today for a matchup against Michigan at 7 p.m. before heading to University Park, Pa. to take on No. 3 Penn State this Sunday at 2 p.m.

🔼 Go West, Young Men. Michigan State men’s soccer takes its first trip to the west coast in the new-look Big Ten this weekend, taking on No. 15 UCLA tonight at 10 p.m. ET in Los Angeles.

The Bruins are 4-2-3 so far this season and 1-1-1 in their inaugural Big Ten season.

🔼 Away From Home. Michigan State field hockey takes a break from Big Ten action this weekend to travel to Muncie, Ind. to take on Ball State Sunday at 1 p.m.

The Cardinals are 1-5 this season, with a home game today against Miami (Ohio) before the Spartans come to town.

🔼 Wisconsin Weekend. Michigan State men’s tennis will send a pair of players — Josh Portnoy and Mitchell Sheldon — to Milwaukee this weekend for the Milwaukee Tennis Classic.

🔼 Trip To Toledo. Michigan State women’s tennis is set for its first full-team event of the fall this weekend, traveling to Ohio for the Toledo Rocket Invitational.

The Spartans will play host Toledo, as well as Youngstown State and DePaul in both singles and doubles action.
