MSU and Michigan football respond to Saturday’s fight in the tunnel

By |

If you’re a Michigan State football fan, Saturday’s game against the University of Michigan was pretty ugly. What happened after the game was even uglier. A video from ESPN showed Michigan State players punching and shoving a Michigan player in the Ann Arbor tunnel after the game. Both teams used the same tunnel to get to the locker rooms.

MSU Head Coach Mel Tucker said the whole incident is unacceptable. “We are deeply sorry to both universities…the conference, our fans, alumni, supporters and of course all of our student athletes…past and present,” Tucker said in Monday press conference.

Michigan teachers struggle with transition to full classrooms

By |

Hunter GadwellWoodhaven High School students leave school at the end of the day. Michigan teachers say they are struggling to control classrooms and connect with students amidst the transition from virtual to 100% face-to-face. During the 2020-21 school year, Woodhaven, Taylor and East Lansing school districts gave students two options: virtual or face-to-face learning. Taylor schools had 70% of students opt for virtual learning while Woodhaven had 30%, officials said. Currently, all three school districts are 100% face-to-face, with masks mandatory for students and faculty. Some students are having a difficult time returning to full classrooms, teachers said.
