We MSU grads, given our university's mission and the in-demand expertise of its graduates, wind up working all over the place. For the past few years, we've had a staunch member of our football season commentariat reporting in weekly, game in, game out, from Ukraine. The guy got up in the middle of the darn night to follow games on his computer and join the conversation. Given all that's gone on over there this year, I sure would like to know that guy is OK. So, UkraineDog, if you're checking in here from time to time, or if you're a friendofUkraineDog with current info, please let us know what's up.

Please, please, please, UkD, don't tell us you were out there throwing Molotov cocktails on the Maidan, unless you were, in which case we're sure you had a really good reason.

Also, please don't post photos of you holding hands with Mr. Putin, unless you have them, in which case we're sure there's a perfectly good explanation for it.

Seriously, your take on the matter could be a real education for hundreds and hundreds of FWtCT readers, and we could use that education right now.

Mostly, though, we would just like to know you're OK. So... Oh, UkraineDog, where art thou?
