The #2 Michigan State Spartans put the lumber to Eastern Michigan winning their first game of the regular season 96-66. The Big Three of Kalin Lucas, Durrell Summers and Draymond Green all scored in double digits with 18, 17 and 12 respectively. Two freshman players for the Spartans had good games with freshman point guard Keith Appling scoring 14 in 23 minutes and freshman big man Adreian Payne scoring 10 in 14, including a couple rim rattling dunks. It was a solid 30 point win over what most would call an inferior opposition, but im sure coach Izzo, as he usually does, will find room for improvement with his team. Michigan States next game is Tuesday night when they host the South Carolina Game Cocks at 10 pm.
Hopefully this will not be our lasting image of Matthew Stafford as the Lions quarterback, injured once again being escorted to the locker room or the trainers table by the team doctor. A report from the Lions organization today revealed that Stafford will travel down to Alabama on Monday, where he will be evaluated by Dr. James Andrews. The reason why it has taken this long for Stafford to get seen by the well known orthopaedic surgeon is because the team and doctor both wanted to wait until the swelling went down on Staffords injured shoulder. Me personally, i thing that Dr. Andrews will find some kind of structural damage in Matt's shoulder that will require season ending surgery, however this could give him time to fully heal and rehab for the rest of this season and the entire off season to hopefully be 110% healthy and ready to go next season (haven't we heard that before?).
Goodnight from the greatest city in the world and lets keep out fingers crossed that Staffords shoulder isnt completely destroyed.
