MSU and UM Basketball Status Report

noreply@blogger.com (Campus Den) — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 20:00:00 +0000

Have you been too busy following the Olympics to keep up with the MSU and UM Basketball Teams? Here's what's been going down around the Big Ten during the past couple weeks.

There has been quite an uproar in the Big Ten Basketball standings this month as MSU lost 3 straight, losing their firm hold on the Big Ten Number One Spot. Not only did the Spartans lose three straight, unranked Illinois and No. 13 Ohio State each won five in a row, creating a three-team tie at the top of the Big Ten. Furthermore, No. 6 Purdue, after some early conference losses, is now just a half game behind. No. 11 Wisconsin is currently in fifth place, one game behind the leaders. Luckily, MSU has rebounded, winning several big games, including one at Penn State and is now back in the top spot in the Big Ten Conference.

Now onto the Wolverines...Michigan's DeShawn Sims paces the cluster of Big Ten scoring leaders with 20.9 points per game in Big Ten only contests. Manny Harris is also nearing another career milestone and needs just seven boards to become the 27th Wolverine to register 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in a career. He currently has 1,451 points and 493 rebounds and is the only Big Ten player to rank in the top 15 in points, rebounds, assists and steals in the conference. Teammate DeShawn Sims is also part of the exclusive listing with 1,358 points and 623 rebounds.

Keep up with all the latest Big Ten Basketball info as we approach Madness at Campus Den.

MSU Is Headed To The Alamo Bowl

noreply@blogger.com (Campus Den) — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:16:00 +0000

For the third straight year, the Michigan State Spartans are heading to a Bowl Game! On January 2, 2010 at 8pm CST MSU will face the Big 12's Texas Tech in the 2010 Valero Bowl at San Antonio's 65,000 seat Alamodome.

The 2010 game will be the 17th Valero Alamo Bowl and the first meeting between Michigan State and Texas Tech on the football field. Since 1995, the Alamo Bowl has matched the Big Ten and the Big 12 Conferences and has produced eight of the Top 25 most-watched games in ESPN bowl game history.

The 6-6, 4-4 in the Big Ten, MSU Spartans are making their their second Alamo Bowl appearance as they take on the 8-4, 5-3 in the Big 12, Texas Tech Red Raiders, who are making their third Alamo Bowl appearance.

Both teams hold a losing record in the Alamo Bowl, MSU losing their first Alamo Bowl Game in 2003 vs. Nebraska. The Texas Tech Red Raiders hold a 0-2 Record in the Alamo Bowl.

MSU will play short handed, due to the off-the field turmoil that has been occurring since eight MSU players were suspended and two were dismissed from the team because of a November 22, 2009 fight between Fraternity Members at a campus residence hall.

Head coach Mark Dantonio confirmed that those players would not be making the trip to Texas, but he is glad that the other MSU players have a new focus on winning the game.

Score your Alamo Bowl Tees now at Campus Den to help cheer your MSU Spartans to Victory!

noreply@blogger.com (Campus Den) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:31:00 +0000

Think back to the Big Ten Network's series of commercials boasting "This Is Big 10 Country." They displayed classic team victories, rivalry trophy's, and decked out fans, plus, images of garages, houses and even the colleges themselves with a collegiate flag blowing in the crisp fall winds. This is football season, let everyone in your neighborhood, or even fellow drivers, know what school you support with college flags.

Campus Den has a full stock of Michigan And Michigan State Flags that you can wave high! Try out garden flags to accent your outdoor decor, or hang larger flags from flagpoles, the rooftop and even your garage. U-M and MSU Flags are also ideal in finished sport-themed basements and in college dorm rooms. We also have car flags that you can display to everyone on the road, everywhere you roam.

Football fans, bring your over-sized U-M and MSU flags to the game as well! Display them from your ride while tailgating, or wave them from high in the stands as your team marches on to victory.

Pledge your allegiance to Michigan or Michigan State and wave college flags high in the sky.

Michigan currently holds the series record at 67-29-5. MSU's only real period of dominance in the series' history was from 1950 to 1969, where they went 14-4-2. The Wolverines hold long winning streaks of six (2002-2007), eight (1970-77), and 10 games (1938-49), and an 18-game unbeaten streak from 1916 to 1933, in series history.

But the coveted Paul-Bunyan Trophy is currently displayed at Spartan Stadium due to their 35-21 victory over the Wolverines in 2008, and this year they hope to keep it in their display case! The Paul Bunyan Trophy was first presented in 1953 to the winner of this annual game by then Michigan Governor G. Mennen Williams. The trophy is a four-foot-high wooden statue on a five-foot-high base, named after the mythical giant lumberjack Paul Bunyan to reflect the state's history as a major lumber producing State!
