Bobby Popp Running for MSU Board of Trustees |

 I want to bring your attention to an election that could benefit our program. It is something that is dear to all of us. Michigan State University and how it is run. You will recall last year we posted the fact that Coach George Perles was running for the Board of Trustees of MSU. He ran as a Democrat. But that didn’t matter because we new deep down in his heart he had the best interests in the University at hand, and he was one of us.
This web site does not play politics, but it does look at where members of the MSU FPA can do well for our organization as well as help our University. This year we have another MSU FPA member running for the Board of Trustees. He is Bobby Popp, running on the Democratic Ticket. Doesn’t matter, he is one of us and has our interests at heart. He has walked in our shoes and is aware of the issues at hand.
Bobby Popp grew up and attended school in a western Pennsylvania steel mill town where his father, Joe Popp, worked in the steel mills and was a union member for over 40 years.
His mother, Alice Popp, was a housewife and raised eight children. Bobby was a student athlete and was fortunate to obtain a scholarship to Michigan State University to get a degree and play football for Duffy Daugherty.
Bobby graduated from MSU with a B.S. degree and started a teaching and coaching career.
After one year at Albion College as a football coach, Bobby moved on to the University of Colorado where he earned his M.S. degree and served as a graduate assistant football coach under Sonny Grandelius, his former backfield coach at MSU.
Bobby spent the next eight years as a teacher and head football coach at Northeastern Junior College and then moved to North Carolina to take an assistant coaching position with Wake Forest University. Bobby decided to leave his education and coaching career to return to the Lansing area to enter the restaurant business. After many years in this industry, he sold the business and started a silkscreen and embroidery business which he still maintains. He is also currently a Director of the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl.
During the years since his return to the Lansing area, Bobby has followed closely the political, athletic, and academic climate at MSU and has participated in many activities, special events, and meetings.
Bobby lives with his wife Barbara just five miles from campus, in Haslett, and has two grown children, Debbie and Bobby Jr.
Bobby loves and respects his alma mater, remembering what MSU did for him. Now, he wouId Iike to return and give back as an MSU Trustee.

Fellow MSU FPA Spartan Members,
Get out your calendar and mark this year’s homecoming game vs. Illinois on October 16 at 12 noon. Our tailgate party will start three hours prior to the game.
Your Football Player’s Association will be honoring the 1990 Big Ten Champion Team coached by George Perles.
This year’s reunion will be our 8th since the start of our organization. The MSUFPA is growing and we need your support starting with Friday night’s dinner at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center. We need you to contact any teammates and also, please send me a list of any teammates that you may have information on (phone number, address, email, etc.). It is very important that we have your email address also even if you cannot be here! This weekend is for all of our members, players, managers and coaches to honor the 1990 team. Since it is homecoming and we play Illinois, it will be a sellout. Our tickets will be limited so get yours early…first come, first serve on the tickets. Remember: “Sign up early”!
The Athletic department, under the direction of Athletic Director Mark Hollis, is having us as their guests during the game. Each player, manager or coach will receive two tickets to the game. In order to qualify, you must attend the Friday dinner or Saturday tailgate (plus pay the $20. fee). We would like to have 100% attendance at Friday night’s dinner. What a thrill to catch up and share stories with all of your teammates at the Kellogg Center! Remember to bring your camera.
Please find attached below your application to fill out and return along with the proposed itinirary. Also enclosed is a listing of hotels in the area to make your reservations.
Take care, & GO SPARTANS!

MSU FPA Member is Running for the MSU Board of Trustees |

Fellow Spartans,
 Mitch Lyons This web site does not play politics, but it does look at where members of the MSU FPA can do well for our organization as well as help our University. This year we have another MSU FPA member running for the Board of Trustees. He is Mitch Lyons, running on the Republican Ticket. Doesn’t matter, he is one of us and has our interests at heart. He has walked in our shoes and is aware of the issues at hand.
As opposed to me spewing off the positives of Mitch, I direct you to his web site http://www.lyonsformsu.com and let you hear his message. We wish Mitch the best and hope those of you in Michigan, Republican or Democrat, can see the merits of us having an additional member of the MSU FPA on the Board of Trustees this coming fall.
Go Green!!!
