The vibes surrounding Michigan State athletics right now are sky-high. Michigan State just hired a new football coach in Pat Fitzgerald, introduced him on Tuesday, and then the No. 7 Spartans took on Iowa in the Big Ten basketball opener with him in attendance. Oh, and the Spartans take on No. 4 Duke on Saturday at the Breslin Center and the hockey team faces Michigan in a top-five showdown.
There's a buzz -- an electricity -- in East Lansing
It's amazing what a coaching change can do for an athletic department when everyone seems to be getting on board with it.
