East Lansing — Something important happened for Michigan State last Saturday in an otherwise pedestrian Big Ten football game at Maryland.

The Spartans nailed their sixth victory. They got stamped for a bowl game in late December or, if wild and unforeseen events occur, on Jan. 1.

This was good news, and the good news stems not exclusively from the fact it was an in-state school, MSU, that gets an extra game.

Some of us simply cheer any college football team getting its clearance for a bowl trip.
