The Spartans kept their Big Ten title and NCAA tournament no. 1 seed hopes alive by beating Purdue 68–65 last Saturday, and then followed up their biggest win of the year by dragging the corpse of Minnesota’s basketball program around the Barn for two hours during an 87–57 rout on Tuesday. Michigan State is now riding a nine-game winning streak that spans almost a month; Miles Bridges has stopped jacking so many 3-pointers (although hoisting up an ill-advised 3 did work out for him recently); Cassius Winston isn’t throwing the ball all over the gym as much; and “lights-out shooter Matt McQuaid” appears to have finally killed his evil twin, “awkwardly run around and fall over all game Matt McQuaid.” It’s official: The Spartans are BACK!

Pretty interesting read. For some reason I always thought they were just putting couples or married couples on the big screen.

The kiss cam is acted out hundreds of times a week across America, thousands of times a year., She found a couple of examples where it didn't work out. I'm guessing the vast majority of those randomly chosen are together. While I think the kiss cam is dumb, those that aren't can simply wave off the camera.

I don't really know if she's serious, or she's trying to be funny.
