Whether we win or lose, any battle where we display commitment to strength, teamwork and excellence will always be a victory for Spartans Will. Though the MSU football team lost in last weekend’s game against Ohio State, luck and the spirit of homecoming will be on their side at this week’s game against the University of Wisconsin, kicking off at 4 p.m. on Oct. 15.
