Joe Rexrode had a great column today, with insight on the Spartans heading into Illinois. Lucas is "very very questionable" but it is NOT a high ankle sprain and he is improving. Raymar Morgan had his best practice "ever" and the Spartans are flying around. Delvon Roe bumped his knee at the end of the Wisky game, but he is a GO. Time to whoop some Illini booty!

MORE ON DESIGN SCHEME
Word has it that there will be an announcement by MSU athletics tomorrow on the new design scheme for MSU, including the Sparty logo we've all seen. Stay tuned. Notably, the ES has had a poll up (at right) since the initial leak of the image, and of 253 votes, 12% positive; 22% says it is ok, and 62% negative opinions.
