U2 to play East Lansing in June
BY STEVE BYRNE
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
U2 is going green.
The famed Irish band announced early this morning that its current tour will include a stop at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing on June 30. Ticket details are still to be announced, according to the group's Web site, U2.com, and the tour's promoter, Live Nation.
The band has been on the road playing stadiums worldwide since July, but its initial North American leg did not include a Michigan visit. The band last played here at the Palace of Auburn Hills in November 2005.
Spartan Stadium, which has a capacity of 75,000 for football games, has infrequently hosted major music events. The last big-time rock concert held there was a Rolling Stones date in 1994.
The quartet does have a small connection to MSU. On its second North American tour, it played the popular campus bar Dooley's in December 1981.
U2's 360 Tour was so named for a unique 360-degree set design that provides an unobstructed view for the entire audience.
The set includes an 164-foot-high structure dubbed the Claw, a cabana-like monolith that looms over the entire set, houses speakers on all sides and features a 14,000-square-foot video system.

FIRST-AND-10 (what you need to know about the MSU-Notre Dame matchup)
Saturday’s game marks the 73rd meeting between Michigan State and Notre Dame. Eight of the last 10 games in the series have been decided by 10 points or less. The visiting team has won seven of the last eight meetings, with Michigan State posting a 23-7 victory in Spartan Stadium last September.

• The Michigan State-Notre Dame series began 112 years ago in 1897, making it one of the 27 oldest rivalries in college football. It also ranks as one of only three rivalries – joining Army-Navy and Auburn-Georgia Tech – that does not involve either intrastate or current conference rivals.
• Michigan State has compiled a 31-12 record (.721) in games played against non-conference opponents since 1999, including an 8-4 mark under Mark Dantonio. The Spartans have won 14 of their last 19 non-league games.
• Fifth-year senior Blair White leads the Spartans in receptions (16), receiving yards (267) and touchdown catches (2). White ranks second in the Big Ten in both receptions (8.0 per game) and receiving yards (133.5 per game). He also is listed among the NCAA’s Top 10 in both receiving yards (No. 6) and receptions (No. 7). White recorded his second-straight 100-yard receiving game with seven catches for 105 yards against Central Michigan. He had a career-high nine receptions for 162 yards and two TDs in the season opener against Montana State.

In two starts, Cousins has completed 23-of-35 throws (.657) for 347 yards and four touchdowns. He hit 13-of-18 passes for 164 yards and a score in MSU’s 29-27 loss to Central Michigan. With the score tied at 20, Cousins went 5-for-5 for 59 yards on a 13-play, 80-yard drive as the Spartans took a 27-20 lead on his 35-yard TD strike to B.J. Cunnigham with 7:33 left in the game.

• Lou Groza Award candidate Brett Swenson leads the Big Ten in kick scoring (10.0 points per game) and ranks third (tied) in fi eld goals (2.0 made per game). He leads the team in scoring with 20 points, converting all four field-goal and all eight extra-point attempts. Swenson ranks first among NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision active leaders in scoring, with 296 career points. His 56 career field goals rank second among all-active NCAA FBS kickers and third in MSU history. Swenson has made 74 consecutive PATs.
THE LAST MEETING –
Sept. 20, 2008, in East Lansing, Mich.: Javon Ringer rushed for 201 yards and two touchdowns on 39 attempts, carrying Michigan State to a 23-7 win over Notre Dame. Ringer became the fi rst player to run for 200 yards in consecutive games in Michigan State history. The Spartans took a 13-0 lead into the fourth quarter, then sealed the victory by handing off to Ringer on all seven plays of a 77-yard drive he capped with a TD with 2:16 left. The Irish turned the ball over three times and missed two field goals, hurting their chances of starting 3-0 for the first time since 2002 and the second time in 12 years. Jimmy Clausen was 24-of-41 for 242 yards with a TD and two interceptions in the fi rst half, one of which was in the end zone on a play that was overturned by a video review. Clausen was sacked three times - after not being sacked in the fi rst two games - and was hurried and hit numerous times. Michigan State shut down the Irish’s running game and the sacks led to them fi nishing with 16 yards rushing and seven points. Michael Floyd caught a 26-yard TD pass early in the fourth quarter, getting Notre Dame within six points, after fumbling at the Michigan State 20 early in the third. The Spartans got off to a good start, limiting Notre Dame to minus-5 yards on its fi rst two drives and kicking a fi eld goal on their opening possession. Clausen’s up-for-grabs pass in the end zone to a double-covered Duval Kamara was ripped away by safety Otis Wiley on Notre Dame’s third drive. It was originally ruled incomplete but overturned by replay. Clausen threw another poor pass in the second quarter and it was picked off by Wiley at the Notre Dame 22, setting up Ringer’s fi rst TD. His highlight of the day was a 63-yard run that set up his second TD.
THE LAST MEETING IN NOTRE DAME STADIUM –
Sept. 22, 2007, in Notre Dame, Ind.: Brian Hoyer threw four touchdown passes and Javon Ringer rushed for 144 yards to lead Michigan State to a 31-14 victory over Notre Dame. Michigan State (4-0) became the fi rst opponent to win six in a row at Notre Dame Stadium. The Spartans blew the game open with a pair of third-quarter TDs, a 16-yard catch by Mark Dell and a 30-yard catch by Kellen Davis on a fourth-and-2 play to make it 31-14. Davis also had a 3-yard TD catch and Devin Thomas had a 7-yard scoring catch. Notre Dame finally scored its fi rst offensive touchdown of the season on a 1-yard run by Travis Thomas to cap a 9-yard drive in the first quarter. The score was setup by a Michigan State fumble. Hoyer was 11-of-24 passing for 135 yards as the Spartans amassed 354 yards total offense. Jehuu Caulcrick added 83 yards rushing for the Spartans. Jimmy Clausen was 7-of-13 passing for 53 yards for Notre Dame, while Evan Sharpley, who played the fourth quarter, went 4-of-7 passing for 33 yards. The Irish, who had given up 23 sacks through their first three games, were sacked four times by the Spartans. MSU defensive end Jonal Saint-Dic sacked Clausen for a 17-yard loss and stripped the ball from the quarterback in the second quarter.

Rich Rodriguez knows the gravity of U-M’s situation
August 31, 2009
By DREW SHARP
FREE PRESS COLUMNIST
Rich Rodriguez looked like a beaten man — and the season hasn’t started yet.
“There’s nothing there,” he told me Monday, regarding an impending investigation into alleged wrongdoing in his program.
“There’s nothing there,” he said, staring down and slowly shaking his head. “It’s disheartening because you want to create a program where the kids are self-reliant.”
Apparently there is crying in football.
With his program under attack, Rodriguez seemed overwhelmed at his weekly news conference when pressed to defend his actions and integrity. Words lodged in his throat. And suddenly the coaching machine looked human. He looked sincere. He looked scared.
But saying he loves his players won’t save Rodriguez if U-M’s internal investigation validates player allegations raised in an exclusive Free Press investigation.
Rodriguez knows he’s in trouble. NCAA investigations are the antithesis of the American criminal justice system. You’re guilty until proven innocent.
Overworking players through the vagueness of what’s ruled mandatory and what’s ruled voluntary isn’t as sexy as academic fraud or as damning as boosters providing players with luxury SUVs and baked goods with one-hundred dollar bills as frosting.
But these accusations cut to the core of the NCAA’s biggest hypocrisy — the idyllic illusion of the student-athlete, at least as it pertains to football. And that should be Michigan’s greatest worry at the onset of the any inquisition.
The NCAA might have no alternative but to stain the sainted image of Michigan football if it means protecting the greater fallacy of major college football as a part-time academic diversion.
Football is a full-time job at Michigan. It’s a full-time job at Michigan State.
But it took a possibly poisonously divisive Michigan football family to finally bring this pretense into the national spotlight. Eventually, the NCAA might need to weigh the merits of tossing the football program with the most victories under the wheels of its morality bus.
Don’t bore me with justifications that everybody fudges the 20-hour-a-week or that every coach has somebody from his staff monitoring off-season workouts that are supposed to be at the discretion of the players.
How many times have we told the cop who pulled us over for speeding that everybody on the freeway was motoring at least 10 miles over the speed limit? Yet you got caught and got the ticket.
If it’s proven that Rodriguez broke NCAA rules, regardless of their practicality, Michigan has no alternative but to fire him — or risk exposing an internal hypocrisy of wanting to win the self-proclaimed “Michigan way.”
They can’t have it both ways.

Spartans land Detroit Crockett star Tony Lippett
Spartans land Detroit Crockett star Tony Lippett
BY MATT DORSEY
FREE PRESS SPECIAL WRITER
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio got some good news Thursday when Detroit Crockett star Tony Lippett committed to the Spartans.
The 6-foot-3, 185-pounder will play wide receiver for the Green and White.
Lippett has played quarterback the last two years for Crockett and put up very respectable numbers as a passer and a rusher. But catching the ball is where his future is most promising. Lippett grew up playing receiver in the Detroit Police Athletic League, so the transition to the position should be an easy one.
The last few weeks, Lippett has been wowing scouts and recruiting analysts at regional events. In April, he attended the Badger Sports 7-on-7 tournament in Columbus, Ohio. That event featured all-star teams from Midwestern states competing against each other. Lippett was one of the most productive wideouts there, often the go-to receiver for Team Michigan.
A few weeks later, Lippett attended the Nike camp at Penn State. That one features many of the best players from the Midwest and the East Coast. Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Mike Farrell had this to say after seeing Lippett in action: “He was outstanding in drills, his feet were great, he ran good routes. I thought he was the best wide receiver out here."
In addition to his exceptional size, Lippett is very fast. He has clocked a 100-meter time of 10.8 seconds and routinely runs the 40-yard dash in the 4.5-second range.
Lippett's commitment to the Spartans fulfills coach Dantonio's desire to recruit the state -- and especially the Detroit area -- as thoroughly as possible. Spartan assistant coach and Detroit native Dan Enos served as the primary recruiter of Lippett.
Lippett becomes the second commitment to Michigan State for the class of 2010, joining Traverse City linebacker Max Bullough.
