About 25 months ago I saw MSU pound Indiana and I was back for more this week, with Jenelle and her parents. It was a wacky, high-school-stuff game that featured a 98-yard TD on the opening kickoff, a safety on an intentional grounding from the end zone that the QB didn't bother to sling past the line of scrimmage, which MSU atoned for by returning a blocked PAT 90 yards for two, a timeout called with 0:03 left on the clock by a team down 38 points, a subsequent touchdown, then a no-time-left PAT just to reduce the victory margin. But it was, as they say at newly-refurbed Spartan Stadium "a great day for football." (The stadium, nice though it is, seemed suddenly suprisingly small - 74k on hand did feel like a midwestern town short of the Big House.)
Other than sports, we drank some cider, ate dogs and pizza, took in the game day atmosphere on campus and on Grand River, and hit the Dairy Store. There was also plenty of driving back and forth along the once oft-travelled I96/US23 corridor, time in Belleville with Ollie providing the antics, and a DST shift.
Today is the first of Fall B and thus the first of MKT 503 Marketing. It was interesting, but I can already tell that parts of it are going to be very much open for interpretation, which is contrary to my legacy training but hopefully in line with my current training. I'm enjoying the discussion with factual back-up model of learning, despite the ego bruising pitfalls that come with it.
A brave new architecture here on browncow... the feature image will now be served at random. So, you won't be able to tell what you are going to get - nor will I! It's fun to develop these things.
