Michigan State mailbag: Has Mel Tucker proven he's the man for Spartans football?

A lot can change on the Ohio Turnpike.

In all my decades driving between Toledo and Youngstown — which includes a few speeding tickets in Wood County, a white-out blizzard heading to a concert in Cleveland and a near-death experience on I-75 in Toledo somewhere in the 1990s — I never imagined I would get a text Tuesday night from my uncle reporting Michigan State’s basketball game with Virginia was called off.

But I can’t say I’m surprised, either. This hourly uncertainly is what administrators and college basketball and football signed up for by pushing ahead with playing amind the COVID-19 pandemic.
