BTW, if MSU loses, I have to allow the Nug to post whatever the hell he wants here. But if the Spartans handle their business, I get to post at what will be The Sometimes Daily Sparty .
As for the Top 25 action:

Here at Sparty and Friends we have reached NBA preview time. There will be one team per work day leading up to the season opener (Celts vs. Cavs, October 28th at 8pm on TNT). The teams are ordered by record starting with last place and going up through the non-playoff teams, followed by the playoff teams in order of elimination (or lack there of in the Celtics’ case). We’ve knocked off the Heat, got hate mail about the Thunder, had a guest writer for the Express Grizz,...

Everyone was an ace last week…or so it seems. Five people picked to records of 11-4 marks this week(we are throwing out the Houston v. Baltimore game) meaning that we had to go to points for the first time. The man with the most was mizerle who collects the five points. Sparty, gatortrey, jen, and clown all split the remaining 10 points to collect 2.5 each.
Week Two Recap
mizerle 11-4 (61) 5 points
sparty 11-4 (53) 2.5 points
jen 11-4 (52) 2...
