Big Ten begins

First off - Happy New Year's!  I hope you all enjoyed whatever holiday(s) you may have celebrated, and that the rest of the season is at least safe, if not a lot of fun.

Before 2008 ends, the Spartan basketball team has to play the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

The Gophers are looking pretty good so far this year, and have yet to lose a game.

Will the Spartans be the first to knock them off (in Minnesota no less)? Or will we all be just a little depressed at our New Year's celebrations?

Your predictions, things to watch, etc....
