    Were you as nervous as I was coming into this game? I tried to convince myself it would all be FINE but all the voices cautioning against the infamous trap game lurked in my thoughts. I, too, was worried we’d...

    Pregame Prediction: O Ye of Little Faith

    Under normal circumstances, I would be charging headfirst into this one with a combination of trusty R's meant to signify a new day: revenge, redemption, and retribution. The thing is, the past two years the Lions played Michigan State were...
