E'rytime announcers say "injuries" or make a riduculously optimistic comment about State's season.

First line of the MSU-Loyola preview:
"Injuries contributed to Michigan State not realizing its full potential last season, and the 2014-15 campaign has gotten off to a similar start for coach Tom Izzo's squad."

Well, "injuries" is a lot easier than giving the real reason: "As Michigan rebuilds themselves into a perennial contender, Tom Izzo finds it harder and harder to rectuit the midwest. He can't dominate Detroit and Flint anymore. Even when he does, both areas have suffered terribly from decreased population. When Tom Izzo doesn't have a talent advantage, he is revealed for what he is: a decent coach but not a great one."

However the truth is that Izzo has lost 0 recruits to UM in the JB era.

without Appling and Payne. That little PG they have is playing well. I was hoping that they would flat out suck, but the weird thing is those guys look decent.
