Pre-Punxstawney (sp?) Phil Update to the Regular Season Prediction Contest should be out on Wednesday. Spartans may have played their best game of the 1994-95 season tonight at Lawson (IMO, a nicer arena than BGSU Ice Arena, but then again, what the hell do I know?). Spartans did not give up too many rebounds for second-chances and Buzak looked sharp in goal for first time really in 1995. Road series ends with Friday's visit to Big Rapids to take on Ferris State (no, I'm not going to this one) before the Spartans begin a four-game home- stand with the overtime kings, the Michigan Wolverines next Saturday. (They must be watching the Spartan basketball team too much.) G. M. Finniss Michigan State University 12-3-2, 17-6-2 WVU '87, UTenn '92, MSU (75-67 winners over Illinois in Champaign, a blowout by Green and White standards, to open a 1-game lead in the Baker's Ten) who the hell knows when?
