Consider sharing it with your friends.
This coming week is the big game between Michigan State and Michigan. Anyone going to the game? We've had some great games with Michigan, winning many over the last years. This year it's gonna be a battle.
We've been working to get more fans on Fantelope to follow MSU and get credit and prizes for using Fantelope to post their social media. You can earn points for sharing on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. And for checking in to watch the game.
If you have a minute to download and give Fantelope a test I'd love to hear your feedback on our app. We only have an iPhone version, so no Android. But if you have an iphone go download Fantelope and see what an MVP product feels like, Minimum Viable Product. I would value your feedback in the comments.
If you don't have time to download the app I'd be curious to hear your plans for the Big Game, or share an experience you've had in watching MSU sports since you've been a student. Go Green!
Comments & Feedback
I will not be attending the game since the ticket price is nearly 250, but I will watch MSU smash UM with my friend in East Lansing. The most unforgettable MSU game for me was the game we won Iowa in 2016, MSU won the Big Ten title after that game. The Grand River Rd was crowded in every part that night.
I don't have plans to attend the game, but I'll be ready to cheer for our Spartans from afar! Football is just as big here in the fall as it is at Florida State University, despite the extreme differences in game day weather. As if the sport of Football alone isn't a big enough culture shock, I can't imagine how international students feel walking down Shaw on game day experiencing everything that comes with gameday. Go Green!
I won't go to the game. In fact, I am not very obsessive about the sport game. I used to know none of news about the sport, but after I came to Michigan State University, I started to notice more information about the game from the social media. Although I am not a game fan, I have friends that really like the game.They post the photos of the game or the tickets. So I usually know the date and time of the game from that. I downloaded the Fantelope. But I don't really like the style of this app. It also needs to sign the account in, which is not very convience.
I won't be attending the game unfortunately, but I'll definitely be watching with the fam bam and our friends. It's hard to say who will win, hopefully State can bring it home ftw :)
I am not really focuse in the football game. I will not go to see the footballgame but i will try to lodown the app to see that. I think maybe that will be excesting game. I think that is the spical game foe my university life. So if I have free time I would like to jonin the game.
For me I think i will not go to see the football game. and if that have app for that. I think I will try. that is mots like show the somebody who like the football game.
Unfortunately I will not be attending the game however I will hopefully be in Ann Arbor watching the game at a bar with my friends. I'm not much of a football fan, but I can't help but feel the hype whenever this game rolls around the block. You can just feel the rivalry and the tension and the oncoming chaos that will ensue no matter the outcome. I have been to multiple MSU soccer games and a handful of basketball games. The sports here are unparallel to those I would've experienced if I were to have stayed in Texas and gone to my local "university" in Edinburg. I love MSU's atmosphere around tailgating season and just overall year-round! This is one of the best universities anyone could ever attend. Go green!!!! Beat scUM!!!!!!
Sadly I will not be attending the game this year but I will be watching with friends. I'm a sports fan before I'm a Michigan State fan. So do I think Michigan State can beat Michigan this year........HELL NO. Our QB is suspect, our running back is average at best, and our corners cant cover great receivers. Go Green though.
My favorite experience when watching a MSU game was Michigan State V Michigan 2015. Not only because the way we won was a slap in the face to Michigan but I remember me sitting in my dorm room depressed because I was convinced we lost, then it happens. In a blink of an eye, everyone is out of their rooms and high-fiving and we're singing the fight song. It was a day that made me happy to be a Spartan
Fantelope sounds like a really great app. If I had an iPhone, I would surely try it out. In the meantime, I will try to do some research and learn more about it. I think this app is a really great and effective way for promoting and marketing college football events, such as this weekend's game between MSU and U of M.
It is so interesting to read about how there are constantly and continuing expansion of technology towards social media.
Other than that, the game this weekend will be interesting to watch. I will be out of town that day, but I will surely be checking the score on my phone from time to time, like I usually do.
I went to the MSU game with Western several weeks back with my friend, and it was such an amazing experience. The stadium was packed and people were cheering. Hope we win this weekend, Go Green!
I will be sure to give the app a shot. I will be tailgating for the big game at U of M. Not only will it be my first time tailgating but it'll also be my first time tailgating at a rival university. I will give feedback via the app store and use it to post all of my tailgating adventures throughout gameday. I am a little nervous to be rooting for the Spartans behind enemy lines but that is exactly what I intend to do. It should make for a very interesting day. Go Green!
This weekend I plan on staying on campus for the game. I think it will be a nice break from the last few home games we've had this month. I think my greatest experience at MSU was the Michigan State vs. Michigan Football game two years ago. I'm sure a large majority of students thought the game was already over. I was in my dorm room with my two good friends. Both are from Michigan. Me, being from New York, am not too invested in the rivalry but being a student it still does matter to me. My two friends were on the phone with their parents upset because they thought we had lost. The last play of the game was so exciting an unexpected. As it was happening we slowly rose out of our seats, our voices got louder and louder, and we were jumping up and down. You could feel the dorm shaking. The excitement when we got that touchdown was unlike anything else. Another exciting moment was when our basketball team made it to the final 4. The whole game leading up to it was super suspenseful and I remember being on edge the whole time. I love being at such a big sports school. It creates amazing memories that not many people get to have.
I plan on going home this weekend to visit with family and friends so I won't be making it to Ann Arbor for the game. I do however plan on watching it for sure. My neighbors are huge MSU fans and always have a party for the game on the years when it's not a home game so I will most likely be going over there to watch it. I haven't watched any of the games this year because of work so I'm really excited to watch this Saturday. My favorite experience watching MSU football was my freshman year, 2015, when MSU defeated Michigan in the last 10 seconds of the game. This is a very popular favorite football moment for spartans. I remember watching it in Akers with a bunch of people and that was one of the most exciting moments ever. I still have a video of everyones reaction and it was awesome! What an amazing game! As far as the app goes, I have not had the chance to download it yet or check it out, but I plan on doing so because it sounds pretty cool.
I did download Fantalope on Day one of class, but have been swamped since and have not had a chance to really play around with it. The concept of the app is great! Getting fans to engage with their teams on social media to encourage prizes of all kinds! I am a hige sports fan of all kinds. I played Softball, Volleyball, and Basketball in High School, and I have been playing polo since I was 12 up till now, so I uderstand the connection to the teams as much as the next avid sports fan.
As for the game this weekend, as sad as it sounds, I really don't have any plans. I have a lot of homework to catch up on, so I have to do that instead. Although I WILL be watching the game! No matter the score, I will watch till the end! Go Green!
I personally have never attended a Michigan State football game or a tailgate, but I am a huge fan of the sport. I would like to be able to go to Ann Arbor this weekend just to get the 'true' college football experience before I graduate.
An experience I vividly remember while watching an MSU game, was the MSU vs. UMICH football 2015 game. As most of us can remember, this was the best play that the MSU football team has ever made, and it was one that has gone down in the books. It was a moment of pure elation when Jackson grabbed the ball and sprinted down to make a touchdown, it was also a moment of pure chaos. But it was good chaos.
I do think this is a great app for people who like sport. but I am not big fan or Interested of some sport games. So I probable not to download this app. But I will try to watch this game with my friends who interested in Football game in his house.
I'm very excited for this weeks game as the Michigan State Spartans take on the Michigan Wolverines at the Big House. As for the last time the Spartans played at the BIG HOUSE which was my freshman year. Everyone know's what the outcome of that game was. The infamous, he has trouble with the snap. Yet, again we're the underdogs headed into Saturday, I have confidence in our team that we will reclaim the Paul Bunyan trophy, and bring it back to East Lansing. The forecast for the game looks like it's going to going to rain , which always causes problems for teams.
I will be watching the game at my apartment with my roommate, me and her have attended almost all the Michigan State football games since our freshman year. We're football fantatics and love cheering on the Spartans from the student section. We also enjoy cheering on the Spartans, at the other varsity venues such as Basketball, Hockey, and Volleyball.
I'm also a student assistant with MSU Athletic Communications Department.So, I have had my share of working many sporting events for the Green and White.
My most memorable moment watching MSU football was my sophmore year. It was my first year as a spartan as I went to community college. My parents came up to tailgate with me and it was just a great moment to be at my dream school as a student with my family. We ended up winning which just made the day that much better. Looking forward to the Michigan game and hope to get a win as its always nice to show them who's boss.
I am not really a fan of sports but I have still downloaded the Fantelope app to check out how it works. I think it's a nice app for sports likers and it provides a platform for them to engage the sports event simply on their phones. If someone couldn't make it to the game or even couldn't watch the live game on TV, they could still get on their phones to engage the game and to share moments with other fans of the game wherever they were. Also I think that gaining credits and winning prizes are good ways to encourage sports fans to use this app.
Currently, I am not a part of the apple family so I couldn't download the Fantelope app. I do think that it’s a great app for someone that loves sports. Allowing users to earn prizes and rewards for interacting with the app is a great way to build your following and keep users engaged.
For the game this weekend I plan on going to one of my friends’ houses that live in Ann Arbor. Hopefully I'm able to go to the game but if not I’m sure just being in that environment for the tailgates will be pretty hype. Hopefully we're able to pull out the W!
I did not have time to download the app but it seems like a very cool and effective app to use. I will definitely give it a try in the future. For the game I am going to Ann Arbor and tailgating there. I do not have a ticket so I will be watching it a friends house who goes there. My favorite memory so far of MSU sports being a student is the last MSU vs. Michigan game in Ann Arbor. I was in the city but not at the game when it happened but it was still amazing to be there and witness the Michigan fans so down.
This app seems like something I would be interested in since I am a big sports fan and use many different sports apps to keep updated on scores of my favorite teams, unfortunately I have an android. My plans for the game this weekend are to go to Ann Arbor and watch the game with a friend from high school that currently goes to Michigan (unfortunately). My favorite experience being a Spartan fan since I have gone to school here was the time we beat Iowa to win the Big Ten Championship and secure a spot in the college football playoffs. We were watching the game at Cedar Village and as soon as we scored the winning touchdown everybody ran onto the street and started celebrating. It was a time I’ll never forget and it was a great night to be a Spartan! Go Green!
I do not have iphone, so i could not get the app, but I think it is great idea to post their social media using fantelope. I am sure that using the fantelope will bring more fans to be gather for MSU home game.
Yesterday, I download the APP of Fantelope. Actually, I am not a big fan of some sport games, but from the Fantelope I can realize various news. It is a progressive company and great product. On the other hand, I followed the twitter and Facebook of Fantelope, there are some interesting photos and events, such as Rise of the Rest-Ann Arbor, Detroit Startup City and so on. In a word, I believe lots of sport fans will fall in love with this APP.
I have an Android phone so I am not able to test this application out, unfortunately. I do have some pretty special plans for the game this weekend though! My brother is flying in from New Jersey to surprise my parents at a family tailgate viewing party on Saturday. We are planning to go out for dinner and then will all be watching the game at my sister's house after my brother makes his grand surprise entrance. All members of my family are Spartans, so it will be great to have everyone back together under the same roof rooting for green! I can't wait to see my parents' reaction when they see my brother walk in the door!
I have downloaded the Fantelope app. I think it is a really good and convenient app for someone who loves watching football games. However, I am not really interested in football. By the way, I think the rewards and getting points is really interesting.
As for the game, I hope Spartan can win the game. Go Gree!
I am currently using blackberry so, I could not download this app. However, I am very exciting this big game this week. I know this is our first away game but, played well last game against Iowa. I think Felton is doing well this season and I am expecting him do well. I am planning watch this game at my house with all my friends gather and be prepare for crushing those wolves!
I don't have enough storage for the app but would love to see what it is like when some space becomes free. Last time the Spartans visited the Big House, I was there. Michigan's punter had a bit of TROUBLE WITH THE SNAP and delivered one of the sweetest victories I have ever seen to the Spartans ON THE LAST PLAY OF THE GAME. I'm fairly certian my times in Ann Arbor peaked that day so, this year, I'll be watching from the comfort of my home in East Lansing.
I am also unable to download the app, but I'm very intrigued by the idea of it and will download it when I have more storage.
Although I wish the game were at home this year, I will be making my way to AA to see some friends from home and tailgate before the game. I'm not sure what to think about the actual game this year, but I'm always rooting for my team.
As far as Fantelope goes, my phone is already jack full of apps and music so I'm afraid I won't be able to download. Funnily enough, a past student of yours texted me today and asked me to download his sports app "Squeel."
As for the game, I'm an Ann Arbor Native, so I'll probably go back and see some friends for the game. I was there a couple of years ago during the "He has trouble with the snap" game. My girlfriend at the time went to Michigan and her dad almost let me go with them because he had a spare, but on the way to the game, he saw I was a State fan and retracted that over. Looks like look Karma took care of him that year!
I couldn't download the app, but I think it's a pretty cool idea for those who want to have a dedicated sport space! I remember a couple of years ago when the Yik Yak app was active it had a large focus on the sports games and interaction between students/fans from different schools. It was so much fun to keep up on the college football games, show our support for MSU and other schools, and send some playful trash talk to the other teams. An app like Fantelope can bring back that fun social aspect that you just don't find on other platforms. It can be hard to find other users just looking to talk about a specific game or team on platforms as huge as Facebook or Twitter.
I currently have an andriod so I can't download the app. I can't wait for the big game. It always falls on my birthday so Im used to celebrating two things at one time. But recently since we aren't as good, I will only be celebrating one thing. I plan to go to Ann Arbor with my friends for really the last time of my college career. I am graduating in Decemeber so this could be the biggest one thus far.
I downloaded the app and am enjoying it. I like the point system a lot; it gives the app recognition while connecting the fans of different sports teams. Being able to add the teams I'm interested in and sharing my reaction to the scores is awesome. Unfortunately, I will be working during the game. I will definitely be checking in on he scores though.
I download the Fantelope onto my phone, and follow the steps add Michigan State to my teams. I like the design, it is colorful and clear, it seems good for me. In my opinion, Michigan State vs. Michigan is a big game of whole years. I’ve been to the game for three times, I am not a crazy sport fan, but I enjoy the game every times. I’ll be with many of my Michigan State friends on game day, and watching at home. It must be amazing!
I currently use an android, I could not download the app. I’ve never been to a game, but I know that Michigan State vs. Michigan is a big game every year. This game is the most important game of the year for our university. I think this should be a good game, and I am going to know some rules about the game and watch it with my friends. I hope we can get a good grade. Go green!
As a third generation Spartan, Michigan State game days have always been a ritual for my family. I don't have any big plans for the game besides watching it with my family and cheering on our Spartans. Go Green!
I just downloaded the Fantelope app and signed in through Facebook. I added a couple of my favorite teams and I'm trying to figure out what else I can do with the app. Swiping left on the teams, you can check in to a location, share on social media, paste hashtags and app sharelinks to earn points. Other than earning points, I'm wondering what the point of the app is. I like the idea of being able to earn free money, then again who wouldn't, but I'm skeptical about how realistic the app would be on a day to day basis. The last thing people, myself included, are looking to do it constantly check another app and share more promotional content. On the other hand, the first thing everyone's looking to do is earn free rewards. I suppose for those who have a lot more time on their hand and a tight budget would prefer the tradeoff of their time and energy for money. In my opinion, there needs to be more features in the app to earn points besides checking in and sharing/tweeting. Obviously, this'll likely change as the app gets more attention and scales, but the lack of features could deter people, in my opinion, before it gets to that point. Although I'm critical at the moment of the app, I'm still excited to use it this weekend for the Michigan game to earn some points and possibly change my opinion!
I am not a huge sports fan, but since I got accepted into Michigan State University I enjoy participating in the tailgating events and occasionally going to the game or watching at home. I downloaded the Fantelope app and tested it out. The app did not let me login through Facebook, but that might have been a user error. When I got on the app I added 5 teams that I was familiar with and began testing out the app. I liked the prizes tab that showed me what I can earn with the points I received. One thing that turned me off with the app is that I have to post about these sports team on my person social media accounts. Like I said, I am not much of a sports fan and my friends/followers might be confused with what I am posting. In my opinion, I don’t believe I am the target audience for this app and I wouldn’t get much use out of it. But, I am going to show the app to my brother and male friends and see what they think about it!
I have always been very into sports however when it comes to things like sports apps i have never been able to really get into them. Currrently the only sports apps that i use are espn fantasy and nbc sports. One for fantasy football and one for watching the premier league. The concept of fantalope seems like one that could draw a big crowd for college sports, however personally i have never been someone who posts on any form of social media so the app wouldn't be something that i would use.
This weekend my plan is to go to Ann Arbor to watch the football game with friends. I was never much of a college sports person before coming to MSU, but i have always had a disliking towards U of M. Since coming to State i have become more involved in rooting for MSU and supporting all of the athletic programs that i can.

I have never been that big of a sports fanatic. I grew up in a household where it was practically a religion to watch football all day on Sunday's but this was something I never participated in. However, since attending Michigan State I have started to follow sports a little more, or at least have a strong support for our team. Rivalry games are extremely exciting and I always look forward to them every year. Being a senior, I have been able to see the ups and downs of Michigan State vs. U of M football. Both teams have changed drastically over the years and are constantly full of surprises. Obviously, one of the greatest memories being the 2015 game in Ann Arbor. Unfortunately, I will not be going to Ann Arbor this year to tailgate but I will definitely be cheering on our team with friends from here in East Lansing. Hoping for another great win in the Big House.
As far as the Fantelope app goes, I think it is a great tool for sports lovers. It produces a community for all sports fans to connect. The challenges involved allows for a sense of competition for friends and family, all on your own device. I think once it reaches a bigger platform by adding more teams and being available to android users it will be a huge success.
First of all, Go Green!
Rivalry week is by far my favorite week during football season. It is loaded with memes floating around social media about how much better MSU is better than U of M. I will never forget being in Ann Arbor 2 years ago, witnessing that last 10 second play made because of U of M's turnover. It was as if it all happened in slow motion. Moreover, I did have time to download Fantelope.
It seems to me that this is a great app for fans of all kinds. However, the first thing I noticed up downloading was that there was no real description of how to use the app. The description of the app does state that it "offers fans of any professional or college sports team the ability to earn pints, win prizes and gain recognition for their fandom." I had to go back and read the description in order to actually learn what the app was for.
When I initally downloaded, I did not understand the concept of the app as a whole. I saw that it had something to do with earning points but couldn't figure out why I was trying to earn points. I thought it was like a fantasy sport team program.
I would suggest programing a short tutorial when first downloaded.
Likewise, beign able to connect with others of the same fandom should be more clear. I see how to add a team, however, I don't see how to connect with other fans. Maybe a chatroom during games could popup like a GroupMe, or score predictions, etc. Something to allow the user to interact with one another, all the while earning points.
But the concept of the app is great! Great market, great incentive!
I downloaded Fantelope onto my phone and added Michigan State to my teams, along with all Detroit professional sports teams. After looking through the app, I was wondering if there are other ways to get points than by just sharing the app and using the hashtags? It seems to me that it could be made more interactive by including a feature where you get points every time that one of your "favorited" teams wins a game, or something along those lines. Aside from that, I absolutely can't wait for the game this weekend. I'm going to Ann Arbor to spend game day with some of my best friends who go to UofM. Football is hands down my favorite sport to watch, so I've been waiting for this day all year. One of my favorite MSU football experiences was when I road-tripped to Indy with my freinds to watch the Spartans play in, and dramatically win, the Big 10 Championship in 2015. Hopefully the game this weekend is as exciting!
The big game is exciting! Some of my friends told me that they will go to the game for sure. I’m not crazy on sports, but I enjoy the game all the time. Fantelop is a good way to connect us with teams.
I never use an app as Fantelop, but it seems good for me. I log in with my Facebook account and saw the homepage first. I don’t like the orange color of it but the color looks ok for sports. The first thing after logging in is to add my team. There are lists for pro (NBA, NFL, MLB & NHL) and college. Trying to find my team in the list is annoying and inconvenient, so just choose the search bar to pick teams.
After adding Michigan State Spartans, its name, points and represented colors show up on homepage. Swipe to the left to delete teams and to the right to share on social media or check in. Must mention that we should contain tags and link in posts, so we can only write short sentences in post. Users can earn points by posting on social media or location check-in. Details are on the points page. There is a prizes page at the last, but not attractive for me. I’m not a fan of winning prizes and I’ll keep the app just for games.
That’s all I find in Fantelop, which is concise and easy to post. It’s a good idea to improve the interface to make it more professional and add some new features to rich user experience.
I have had the Fantelope app for a couple months now. I think it is an intriguing way to spread awareness and information for different teams across multiple platforms of social media. I don't use it that much or post for my teams to try for prizes or anything, but I still respect the app and see how it can be fun and useful for its users. My cousin is high up in sports event management fpr college football and he's the one who told me what Fantelope was and how it was a growing app. I see it only getting bigger and bigger.
My plan for the Michigan Vs. MSU game is to be absolutely slaughtered with my friends. I'm sure that I have had some great experiences for MSU games in the past but I don't remember many of them due to being unconsciously drunk. This week I'll probably end up face-down on the carpet and hearing the game as background noise. My memory of the events in the game will likely be pretty foggy but I know i'll have a great time enjoying myself with friends.
Go Green
I think the fantelope is a really brilliant idea. For those big sports fans, there is nothing better that an app which could help them follow the result of the games, especially follow differnt teams in difffernst fields. Besides, the app is not limited in football games or college sports , which could attract more people to download this app. You can also easily earn some points to exchange some gifts, which may be an extra profit for those big fans. So maybe someone is not a really crazy big fan, it is still possible for him to download this app to get prize.
Fantalope seems like a very cool idea, I like how there is a page with clear incentives and then a page with the prizes on either side of the user page. I personally am not a big sports fan so I probably wouldn't use this app, but I think it is a good start and has an interesting purpose. Even though I don't follow sports very closely I do like the idea of prizes, so that could be a great way to get people like me more involved with the team and supportive of the school.
I do however enjoy to tailgate, which leads to me being a bandwagon follower of football. I also am particularly interested in beating U of M because I am from Ann Arbor. I grew up about a mile from the Michigan Stadium and have never really been a fan. Neither of my parents went to the school and they had a somewhat negative attitude towards the huge powerhouse of a university sitting in the center of our liberal town. Admittedly, Ann Arbor wouldn't be what it is without the university, but it still made my choice to leave the city for college an easy one.
Another reason I want to beat Michigan is that I have tons of friends who go to the school, it seems like half of the kids my age never left. Beating them felt so good (until last year) since they are constantly making bad jokes about how we are stupid and how they will make more money in life. (I hear Spartans are more hirable...) However, being better at football is one thing they couldn't deny, so the loss last year was a very sad one. Aside from just my friends, the whole city has a ridiculously negative attitude towards Michigan State, far more aggressive then our attitude towards them. I flaunt my green and white whenever I'm home, but it is far from warmly welcomed. I will be with many of my State friends and many of my Michigan friends on game day, another win on their turf would be amazing! (comment for lesson #3)
i currently have an andorid so i could not download the application. However, i am really excited about the game MSU vs michigan. Every year it is always a big game. even though i don't really know the players much. i love the mood of game day especially tailgating.
After browsing through Fantelope, I think this is a fun and easy way for sport lovers to earn free prizes for watching and posting about something that interests them. The layout is straightforward and user friendly. I also like the use of "grow your horns" because it ties the name with the app. One suggestion would be to split the College section into types of sports, just as the Pro section is.
I am beyond excited for this weekend! I am going to Ann Arbor to tailgate with several of my high school and college friends - it's always nice to see everyone. As far as an experience, I have a funny (not so funny for me) superstition for MSU vs. U of M games. So, on the MSU vs. U of M game in 2014, I was running through the 7/11 parking lot with my brand new iPhone 6 (so new that the cases weren't even out yet!) when I accidently hit it off of my leg and sent it flying in the air...to watch it fall face down on the concrete and shatter - but we won that game! Fast forward to the 2015 game in Ann Arbor, I jumped for joy off of the couch during our last second victory play...then looked down to see that I had stomped on my phone and shattered it (I had a case that time too) - but again, we won! I didn't break my phone during the 2016 game and we lost... I really don't want to break my phone this year, but I'm pretty sure there's a correlation between me shattering my phone and MSU beating U of M.
In 2014 Brady Hoke was in the hot seat, it was right before Harbaugh replaced him. My friends and I camped out for two days to get front row seats. I painted all the guy's chests to say "Keep Brady Hoke". Their picture made it into a few different news articles, highlighting Hoke's unlikely and snarky support from Spartans. It was most definitely one of my favorite football games.
The next year was the year their kicker dropped the ball, resulting in our win. We had the game projected on the wall of an apartment that was definitely over capacity, people were sitting on top of each other and the chip dip had to be passed across the room because nobody could get up. The moment the ball was dropped the entire room exploded and people jumped up in excitement, causing the computer to disconnect from the projector, so we missed the touchdown and had to pull ourselves together in order to turn the computer around and catch the replay of the touchdown.
I won't be going to the game tonight but I definitely will be watching. Since I've been at MSU we have only losed to Michigan one time, so exciting! This is my last semester, so I hope that we can make it another year with a WIN. I am downloading fantelope tonight so that I can tweet, post on twitter and check-in during the game. I'm not really into sports but since I am watching tonight, I will try to do my part on Fantelope.
