My alma mater Michigan State University just won the 2014 Rose Bowl! (*Photo is from a home game 2 years ago.)  We beat Stanford in a terrific football game and I am so very happy. I am wearing the same lucky Spartan sweatshirt I wore when I cheered them on the last time MSU was in (and won) the Rose Bowl...in 1988!  So far 2014 has been a wonderful year!  Happy New Year, indeed.
