Dear Spartan Football Supporter,

Thank you for supporting the Michigan State Spartans throughout this record-breaking and historic 2010 football season. Congratulations to Coach Dantonio and to our student-athletes, coaches and staff on securing the Big Ten Conference Championship with a victory over Penn State to close out the regular season. From the "Little Giants" play to defeat Notre Dame in overtime, to our convincing victory over Wisconsin, to our third-straight victory over Michigan, to the "Mouse Trap" fake punt at Northwestern, to our fourth-quarter comeback vs. Purdue on Senior Day, to celebrating a Big Ten Championship in Happy Valley, this truly has been a remarkable and fantastic season that Spartans will never forget.

As we approach bowl selection on Sunday evening, rest assured, that we are doing everything possible to position Michigan State University for the absolute best bowl destination for our Big Ten Championship football team and the thousands of Spartan fans who will follow them to this game. Wisconsin and Ohio State are also worthy of their postseason consideration; however, given the adversity that we have overcome throughout the season, there's no doubt that the Spartans deserve consideration for a BCS bowl game.

Regardless of our destination, we encourage fans to support the Spartans in their bowl game in record numbers this season. Not only will we be sending a message heard throughout college football, but we will be gathering to celebrate with our student-athletes, coaches and staff who produced this incredible season.

Please consider reserving your bowl tickets prior to the bowl selection on Sunday, December 5. You have the option to select the bowls that are of interest to you and you will not be charged until our bowl selection is finalized. Bowl ticket requests will be accepted through Monday, December 13 and will be assigned in donor-priority order. Orders placed after December 13 will be assigned based on best seats available. Remember to use your existing account and do not create a new account to ensure that your donation priority and season-ticket purchases are linked to your one and only account.

To place your order for bowl tickets, please visit msuspartans.com or Call 517.355.1610 or 800.GO STATE during office hours (Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.).

Once again, thank you for your support throughout the 2010 football season, and we hope you can join us at our bowl game to ring in the New Year.

Thanks and Go State!

Mark Hollis
