If you have a home in Michigan you know the importance of clearing water efficiently away from your home off the roof. Unfortunately, the outdoor beauty of Michigan means you have to deal with leaves and debris that pile up in your gutters. Sometimes, those gutters also can’t keep up with the rain or leave puddles by your foundation.

If you live in the Grand Rapids area (Muskegon to Saugatuck to Rockford to Lowell) contact Kurt Stauffer at the Brothers that Just Do Gutters. (https://www.brothersgutters.com/grand-rapids-mi/).

If you’re anywhere in the metro Detroit area the Brothers have you covered too! (https://www.brothersgutters.com/metro-detroit-mi/). They are real professionals who will clean, repair, or replace your gutters and protect your home quickly and efficiently with friendly service.

Mention Final Four to get 10% off your gutter work.

December 20, 2025: In this year’s annual ugly sweater game between MSU and Oakland, Michigan State comes away from the game with a 79-70 win at Little Caesar’s Arena in Detroit. It wasn’t MSU’s best game of the season as they struggled to get into any sort of offensive flow and were down as much as 7 points in the first half but managed to squeeze out a 3 point lead at the half.

The second half was a little better but the Spartans could never get the lead out beyond 12 points. Questions about the rotation were largely not answered - although one could imagine enough evidence one way or the other to convince yourself that it was going to change or stay the same.
