Spartan fans that have been looking for something more exciting than football can breathe a sigh of relief at Adam Nightingale and the 2026-2027 Spartan hockey team takes the ice in Munn for their season opener on Friday October 9 at 7:30pm. Game two will actually be on Sunday October 11 with a puck drop […]
Getting To Know The Enemy: 6Qs About The Illinois Fighting Illini
Happy Thursday, TOC Nation. It’s Homecoming Week at Michigan State, and we are back with another 6-pack of questions. This weekend’s opponent is the Illinois Fighting Illini, and I sat down with Isaac Ambrose from The Champaign Room for some insight into this game. Let’s see what he had to say. The Only Colors: Illinois […]
Michigan State vs. Illinois Game Preview
Homecoming at Michigan State will hopefully feature some beautiful fall colors and weather. Unfortunately, it will also feature two struggling football teams. The Spartans and Illinois enter Saturday’s matchup (3:30 PM ET, FS1) with identical 2-3 records, including 0-2 in the Big Ten. MSU, as we’ve seen, struggles to prevent big plays on defense and […]
The Film Room: Wisconsin
“Did we really get beat that bad?” Sometimes the analytics offer a little more hope than your eyes did. For Michigan State fans, that might be welcome after Saturday. When coaches talk about being one play or one assignment away, you want something to suggest those corrections could actually make a difference. Maybe the gap […]
Michigan State Picked Second In Preseason Big Ten Poll
Michigan State has high hopes entering the 2026-27 college basketball season and rightfully so. The Spartans were picked to finish second in the Big Ten this season in a poll conducted by The Columbus Dispatch. Since the conference does not release a preseason ranking, 28 media members throughout the Big Ten put together votes to […]
The Only Colors Reacts Survey
We have seen the product that the MSU Football Team has been putting on the field get worse and worse over the last three weeks, culminating in a 31-3 loss to Wisconsin this past Saturday. On top of that, injury concerns continue to mount. Right now, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of reasons […]
MSU vs Wisconsin Weather Report
Michigan State football becomes more tragic with every week of every season. I’m convinced we are all stuck in one of Dante Alighieri’s seven levels of Hell. This tortuous way the Spartan fans have had to endure recently has been far more than just clouds. It is a fog. Like some weird, dark, Ministry of […]
Instant Recap: Michigan State gets embarrassed by Wisconsin
If you thought it couldn’t get worse after the Nebraska game, well, it did. The Badgers embarrassed the Spartans today with a 31-3 beatdown. Cam Fancher and Caleb Wheatland went down with injuries. Things got so bad that even freshman QB Kayd Coffman saw playing time before the clock hit zero. The defense continues to […]

Getting To Know The Enemy: 6Qs About The Wisconsin Badgers

How To Watch Michigan State @ Wisconsin – Details, Quick Facts, And Predictions
Week 5 has Michigan State on the road for the second time this year, and first to another time zone. After suffering two consecutive losses and several key injuries, it is time to see which way this season will go. Can MSU get back on track or will the season start going completely off the […]
Jaydn Jenkins Commits To Michigan State
Tom Izzo has secured the second member of the 2027 recruiting class with the addition of center Jaydn Jenkins. Jenkins, from Archbishop Wood High School in suburban Philadelphia, was on campus recently for the annual Grind Week along with fellow commit Antonio Pemberton. For those keeping score at home, that means Izzo went 2-for-2 in […]
Michigan State vs. Wisconsin Game Preview
Well, what a difference a week makes. In last week’s preview for Nebraska, I speculated that the Spartans could be in a lot of close Big Ten contests this year. This week, I’m left to wonder if Michigan State can win another game. For the first time in four games with Pat Fitzgerald, we unfortunately […]
The Film Room: Nebraska
This was a tough game to watch. Michigan State was outplayed for most of the evening and never really put itself in position to win. Chrishon McCray had a nice game on offense and made one of the coolest one handed catches I have ever seen. Big Ben Roberts was a beast in the middle […]
Spartan Soccer & Volleyball off to impressive starts
While the football team suffered a setback against Nebraska in Pat Fitzgerald’s rebuild, several other Spartan Sports are off to great starts this fall. We thought it was worth taking a quick look at some of these performances. Women’s Soccer is currently ranked #2 in the nation and in a four-way tie for first place […]
The Only Colors Reacts Survey
The MSU Football season is suddenly in danger of going off the rails. In addition to the home loss to Nebraska on Saturday, we received news this morning that our starting RB Cam Edwards will miss the rest of the season with an injury. We are still waiting news on LB Jordan Hall’s injury. And […]
Cam Edwards Is Out For Season
The bad news we all feared came out today when MSU Head Coach Pat Fitzgerald announced that starting running back Cam Edwards would miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury suffered during Saturday’s game. There has been no official word as to what the injury was exactly, but we do know […]
September Report Card
One month of the 2026 football season is in the books. For Michigan State, it began with a closer than expected win over Toledo, a comfortable triumph over Eastern Michigan, a possible glimmer of hope loss at Notre Dame, and then a wheels coming off defeat to Nebraska at home. In the end, our Spartans […]
MSU vs Nebraska Weather Report
Spartan Nation, how are we holding up after that one? It was truly a beauuuutiful day for football in East Lansing but the product on the field was anything but. In that oh so Michigan State way, they managed to suffocate any speck of optimism we carried away last week in South Bend. We are […]
Instant Recap: All goes wrong for Michigan State in 31-13 loss to Nebraska
Well, it can’t get worse than this, right? This game was full of injuries for Michigan State, had multiple questionable calls, and it felt like every 50/50 ball bounced Nebraska’s way tonight. An early blocked punt by MSU that would’ve put them in scoring position with a 3-0 lead was negated due to a holding […]
Game Thread: Michigan State Vs. Nebraska
It’s the final game of September, and the first game of the official fall season. Can MSU climb to a 3-1 record or will we stumble to 2-2? Whether you are at the game or watching at your favorite sports bar or the comfort of your couch, The Only Colors has all your favorite Spartan […]
