In 1951, the Michigan State Spartans became champions. The same happened the following year, in 1952, when the team beat their rivals. That season finished with a new record. They had the countrys longest winning streak, 24 games in a row. They became the champions not only officcially but also in the minds of all football fans, who bought the tickets to see the triumph of the team.
The team had to wait several years to become a member of the Big Ten. It is only in 1953 that they became their permanent members. The team became the winner of the Rose Bowl in 54, 56, and later 88.
