Twitter Tips: Check out these Spartan accounts

The next stop on our Twitter Tips series takes us to Michigan State. Having already featured Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Michigan, it's time to turn our 12-installment series over to the guys who tweet about the Spartans. The goal of this project is simple: to share some of our favorite school-specific Twitter accounts with our fans. With that out of the way, let?s get to the Michigan State handles.

The Spartans have several worthy follows, from informative beat writers (@joerexrode) to dedicated bloggers (@ChrisVannini) to notable alumni (@drewstanton). Basically, whatever it is you're looking for, Michigan State has a presence on Twitter.
