I'm not sure how many people were in Ann Arbor on Saturday and Chicago on Tuesday - but I do know that Spartans Illustrated photographer Marvin Hall was on the field and on the court at both, snapping pictures of an historic 72-hour window into Spartan Athletics.
Paul Bunyan on Saturday. No. 2 Duke on Tuesday. MSU was the underdog in both games yet never trailed for a second across 100 minutes of football and basketball. The Dan Bartholomae era is in full effect. His pitch to donors just got easier, too: spartansillustrated.com/arti…

Starting tonight at 1 AM, we’ll be sharing the real radio transmissions from the night the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was lost on Lake Superior, 50 years ago. These posts will follow the timeline as it happened, from the first reports of rough seas to the ship’s final transmission. We share them in remembrance of the 29 men who were lost, and in respect for all who work the Great Lakes. Transmissions from: ssedmundfitzgerald.org/fitz-…

Before Michigan State won in Ann Arbor, Tom Izzo saw something inside a losing football locker room that stayed with him. Pat Fitzgerald also shared what Izzo told the Spartans the day before they faced Michigan. Go inside both moments: spartansillustrated.com/arti…

Three was a magic number in Ann Arbor. Michigan State's 15-6 win over Michigan was tied for the biggest upset of Week 10 and was a balm for the hearts, minds, and bodies of MSU fans. With three games left, can the Spartans still make a bowl? #GoGreen spartansillustrated.com/arti…

“We never gave up.” Four takeaways, five sacks, and a 17-play drive that drained 10:41 off the clock. Michigan State’s players explain the belief and work behind their 15-6 win over Michigan and bringing Paul Bunyan home. ⬇️ spartansillustrated.com/arti…

Running back Brandon Tullis had to stay patient and wait his turn, which wasn’t easy. But when he was called upon to deliver against Michigan, he was ready for the challenge. “My coaches kept encouraging me and kept telling me to keep staying on the the same path that I was working on. And the opportunity came, and I provided." Read: spartansillustrated.com/arti…

Despite playing “banged up,” Michigan State running back Brandon Tullis seized his opportunity in an upset win over Michigan. “Nothing was gonna stop me from getting this win today — me or my teammates." spartansillustrated.com/arti…
