The Pinnacle of Michigan State Spartans Football (since 2007)

While the Michigan State Spartans football team has been pretty good when they had WR Plaxico Burress, WR Derrick Mason, WR Andre Rison, QB Tony Banks, and Kicker Paul Edinger, but beginning in the year 2007, under head coach Mark Dantonio, the Spartans of Michigan State have really been at their best in college football.

In the year 2007, Mark Dantonio made his debut as the head coach for the Michigan State Spartans football team. That year, the Spartans of Michigan State were 7-6. In 2008, the Spartans were 9-4 after losing to the Georgia Bulldogs in the Capital one Bowl. In 2009, they were 6-7 after the Alamo bowl loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders. In 2010, the Spartans were 11-2 after the loss to the Alabama Crimson tide in the capital one bowl. In 2011, they were 11-3 after the win in the outback bowl over the Georgia bulldogs. In 2012, the Spartans were 7-6 after defeating the TCU horned frogs in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. However, 2013 was without doubt the best season in Michigan State Spartans football history. That year, the Michigan State Spartans were 13-1 after defeating the Stanford Cardinal in the Rose Bowl. The wikipedia article on Mark Dantonio mentions "on October 8, 2011, Dantonio signed a contract extension that made him a "Spartan for life". Michigan state spartans are at their best since 2007.

The Mysterious Life of the Giant Squid

The Giant Squid is "perhaps the most mysterious of nature's giants." Throughout history, the media portrayed the Giant Squid as monsters from the deep ocean. Largely due to specimens found dead on beaches, that is how scientists know of the Giant Squid. Since they live in waters that are so deep and so cold (300-1000m), scientists know virtually nothing about them. Giant Squids live on a diet of fish, prawns, and other squids. The predator of the Giant Squid is the Sperm Whale.

Recently, scientists found a way to study the giant squid aside from dead specimens. The wikipedia article on the giant squid mentions "Because Sperm Whales are skilled at finding giant squid, scientists have tried to observe them to study the squid." In September of 2004, scientists off Japan took the first photographs of a Giant Squid in its natural habitat. More research is seemingly being done to better understand the giant squid and the mysteries surrounding it.
