It was only for a day, in fact, really only for about 15 minutes. But on Saturday, nearly 7 years to the day, Mike Valenti returned to the Lansing airwaves joining Jack Ebling to discuss all things Sports from the eye's of a Spartan.. and especially.. MSU.
Seven years ago.. Mike started his show like this..
When looking back on the 2002 Spartan football season one can come up with a range of emotions. I still think back to those August mornings on the show talking about schedule projections and possible big games. What started out with such promise, ended up bursting into flames and smoldering slowly for all to see.

Back in August 2002, the show opened a little bit different then it does now.. gone would be the stupid music, the guy talk, T-Fos... in would be the Godfather, full of spit and vinegar.. and the talk would be sports.
How many folks remember the show opening to the right ?
