So it is Wednesday, and I am getting ready for this weekend. Spartans… Wolverines… ‘NUFF SAID. This Saturday MSU battles for State supremacy against our friends down the road in Ann Arbor.

After a hot start, MSU had hard luck against Ohio State, but are looking to solidly rebound this Saturday. “Little Brother” has been waiting for this game all year and is looking to knock around some Wolverines starting at 12:30 p.m. PST. The watch party will be at the Stadium Pub in Walnut Creek. Thanks to all the Spartans who made it out last week, we had more than 30 people at the Old Pro! We’re hoping we can get an even bigger crowd this week! The Stadium Pub is an awesome place to watch the game.

So come on out, and cheer on Sparty as he unloads a can of you know what on the Wolverines!

Directions are available here on the site.

MSU’s been rolling along well since the Cal game, and has been ranked for the first time this year! They are going against an undefeated Northwestern team that promises even more fireworks than last years shootout in East Lansing.

The game will be at 12:30 p.m. PST and this week’s party will be at Double D’s Sports Bar in Los Gatos. This bar is a favorite of South Bay folks and promises to the be the biggest game yet for MSU!

Let’s really try to pack the house for this game! MSU is tied for first place in the Big Ten and has an opportunity to become bowl eligible with a victory this Saturday. So please post to the site if you are coming to Double D’s, or where you’ll be watching, and let’s get everyone out to support our Spartans!

If you need directions, they’re posted here on the site.
