MSU basketball is now listed as favorite to win Big Ten
Believe it or not, Michigan State basketball is listed as the favorite to win the Big Ten for the 2024-25 season. Michigan State recently jumped to the top of the betting odds to win the Big Ten at Caesar’s Sportsbook. Michigan State is now listed at plus-425 to win the league, which is slightly ahead of Big Ten newcomer UCLA at plus-450. The Spartans have been near the middle of the pack or the top of the Big Ten in preseason rankings so it’s slightly surprising to see them move to the top of these odds. But Michigan State has looked very impressive during their Spain exhibition series so maybe that has resulted in this recent boost. Check out the updated odds by clicking here.

Isabelle Musk - Miss Michigan's Teen - Leaving for Boston Thursday
Poised, polished and professional are the first three words that come to mind when you meet Isabelle Musk. I was speaking to her mom Angela when she came out to the yard to talk and as she approached, she politely shook my hand and we made a little chatter. We really went all out on grabbing the family cooler to plop down on to have a chat and it seemed fitting since a part of her message to younger girls is to be their own genuine self. To seek happiness compared to the world of rainbows and unicorns that is so over played on social media today and leads to an enormous amount of stress on todays younger generation. The idea of eternal happiness and always looking perfect is an illusion, and while her role as a dancer and now representative of Michigan in the scholarship program does require some staging, she's still a very real 18 year old, and even came out bare footing it in her yard.
