MSU Update November 26, 2009
Greetings from Spartan Country,
First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families. I hope your travels are safe. I will be home until Sunday, when I travel up to Red Deer, Alberta, Canada to give a presentation to the AGSA on that Monday.
The Spartans, you say? It depends. For hoops, all systems go. Draymond Green is a huge key in the success for this team. I know Izzo says Morgan, but…. Lots of big tests in the next 4 weeks. Womens hoops is currently trying to find themselves. Hockey is surprising lots of people. They have Wisconsin and Minnesota this week at home. Football team laid an egg on the last game against PSU. (This is always painful for me.) I sat there wondering about the field, of course. With the U2 concert next summer, and the likelihood of re-sodding after said concert, I could not help but be a little sad watching what is without a doubt the finest playing surface around. (I hear even the PSU coaches were telling their staff the same thing.) Oh well, it’s just grass.
For those of you involved with Facebook, Ron Calhoun has started an MSU Turfgrass Alumni page. There are already 65 friends. Go check it out. Hey I might find a few lost souls, who knows?
Also, Steve Southard, class of 91, contacted me the other day with an initiative that he is starting regarding pace of play for the golf course. It may be of interest, so check out the web page, www.paceandproduction.com. I looked it over, and it makes some sense to me, so to you in the business it may help.
Our mock interview session was a big success. We had some of our regular contributors, along with some newcomers, Matt Burrows, Mark Frever, and Kyle Hegland. It was great to see these guys and I think they had a good time. We have already set the day for 2010 at November 19. It is always a blast.
