Similar situation: I've been deleting, as bogus, multiple emails starting around March Madness time indicating it was time to renew my season basketball tickets. As this email was not from a MSU address, the preview was showing something without the official Michigan State University logo, and the color of green was obviously not MSU Pantone 341 (or standard Web display alternative) - there was no way I was going to open it or click on any links in it. I've just been deleting them Recently I overheard a conversation that led me to believe these may have been real. Does anyone know? Diana E.

Really funny how people who have finally figured out that spam should just be summarily deleted go into a tizzy when it seems to come from someone "famous." Noooo, they had to open the message (because "it was from someone I knew"), waste time puzzling over its meaning, forward it to me. Helloooo?!? Why would Tom Izzo be emailing you? Delete the d*amn thing and get back to work! Grrgh. Sorry... Monday morning rant over. :-8 Kim Geiger Information Technologist MSU Broadcasting Services 538 Communication Arts & Sciences Building East Lansing, MI 48824 - 1212 517-432-9527 x 429
