Breslin Center

Today was Second Look Day for the incoming class of 2016. So, I volunteered to be a tour guide. As part of this job, we were invited to attend the reception at the end of the day at the Breslin Center, the basketball stadium at MSU. I had seen the outside of the building many times, but have not yet gotten the chance to go inside. So, I was pretty excited. When we entered, the staff told us they were offering tours of the Breslin for whoever wanted to go on one. I was all about that. Coming from EGHS (a high school known for producing good college athletes), to UCLA, and now to MSU, I have always been a big school sports fan. So, I was a little over-excited for this tour:

Crosstown Showdown

Last night, about 20 of my classmates and I went to the annual "Crosstown Showdown!" This is a MSU (college team) v. Lansing Lugnuts (Minor League team).

We started the evening at the Roadhouse Pub. Then, we headed into downtown Lansing to go to the Colley Baseball Stadium. When I first heard that this was an annual game, I thought it was a really cool idea, but expected the Lugnuts to kick MSU's butt...they are a professional team, after all. However, after 6 innings, the score was 0-0. To be honest, it was kind of a boring game at that point. I'm just glad I was surrounded by great company to make it really fun! Top of the 7th, MSU again gets 3 outs without any runs, but then something changed. When the Lansing Lugnuts went to bat, they made not 1, not 2, not 3..but 7 runs! 7! In one inning. It was pretty crazy. I was obviously rooting for MSU, but at that point I was excited for some excitement!

So, in the end, MSU lost, but it was a really great event. Its always fun to get out of my little radiology/clinical center bubble. I can't wait for this summer to go to more baseball games in downtown Lansing!
