News - ESPN basketball writer pegs MSU as a possible Final Four team next Spring: http://msn.espn.go.com/ncb/columns/katz_andy/1448875.html Comment - Read this article and be amazed at the resources MSU basketball enjoys: "The Spartans new $8 million practice facility has to be one of the best in the country, up with Florida, Oklahoma and Illinois, if not a notch above. In addition to the Title IX friendly dual practice courts, the men's team has $500,000 worth of video equipment; seven satellites; seven different viewing stations for video; a 400-video jukebox of games from 1977-2002 for former players like Cleaves to watch their career; a $40,000 smart board to allow Izzo and company to telestrate in the IMAX-like theatre; portable DVD players so everyone can watch tape of practice or games; and every practice is fed right into the network so the coaches can go back to their luxurious offices to watch practice immediately following on their flat-screen laptops or PCs. Izzo got his start as a video coordinator for Jud Heathcote and wasn't going to go cheap in this area." With all the gloom about the football team, it's nice to read about the positive prospects for basketball. News - Archeologists find item with Jesus' name carved on it: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/21/science/21CND-JESU.html Comment - This is not really startling news. Few people question that Jesus really existed. There is considerable historical evidence of His life and works. News - Sony adds enhancements for their robot dog: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/17/technology/circuits/17aibo.html Comment - Aibo is a neat, but expensive gadget. Although it's not cheap to buy a real dog, either. Click here to see current comments and add your own. 11:49:49 AM
