Dantonio Return Date?
September 24th, 2010 at 9:56 PM ^
I don't know. I just wish him good health...
September 24th, 2010 at 10:44 PM ^
way to say that +1 to you
September 24th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
'dantonio'... really?
September 24th, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
We know about as much about this as we did about your post from its title: absolutely nothing. Worry about BGSU and IU first.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:00 PM ^
So back to the whole "raising the point total needed" issue.......
September 24th, 2010 at 11:02 PM ^
I enjoy the board more in the offseason.
September 25th, 2010 at 12:38 AM ^
Minimum points to post should be at least 100.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:02 PM ^
him good health but I still hate that smug sun-of -bitch!
September 25th, 2010 at 1:16 AM ^
so I can return to "Suck my bonio!" comments
September 24th, 2010 at 10:03 PM ^
I don't think Dantonio himself knows at this point.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:05 PM ^
Waiting for the first "too soon" posting...
September 24th, 2010 at 10:07 PM ^
Jim Comparoni or whatever his name is from SpartanMag was on the HUGE show today and seemed to think that he'd be up in the box for Wiscy, and probably on the sidelines against UM. Bring it!
September 24th, 2010 at 10:10 PM ^
and he comes back when he's ready, not when he feels he needs to be there for the team. Hopefully he comes back 100%...
September 24th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
I admire both Hollis' and Becky Dantonio for keeping Mark's priorities straight. Obviously, he'll return to the sideline, but the guy had a heart attack less than a week ago. Both Hollis and Becky are focusing on the person and not the icon. God speed in your recovery Mark. I look forward to playing and beating you and your team when you are both at your full health and capacity.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:21 PM ^
...that he will come back just in time for the UM game, to give his team an emotional boost? dude is so hardcore that he had a heart attack just to give his team an edge on the day of his return, no doubt.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:25 PM ^
I could see that, but IMO that's not really the big issue. The bigger question is whether he's going to be in there during the week, working those 18-hour days to develop the gameplan. That might be asking too much of him.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:40 PM ^
I agree that he'll try to be back by then, but a heart attack isn't something you can just bounce back from, even if it is relatively minor. I wish him the best, and I expect to see him on the sideline in some capacity when he comes to A2, but my guess is that he won't be the official coach at that point.
September 24th, 2010 at 10:39 PM ^
I'm sure he'll try to make it back for UM, but obviously you want him to look out for his health first. I think he'll be smart about it, and even if he is not coaching the team when they travel to A2 he'll be there to cheer them on. I wish him the best off-the-field, and cannot wait for his butt-kicking on it.
September 24th, 2010 at 11:02 PM ^
He also had surgery to insert a stent I think he's gonna be out a little longer than we think. I hope all goes well in his recovery
September 24th, 2010 at 11:22 PM ^
is not that significant. a return in time for UM is most definitely not out of the question. the shame is it will become a distraction that can only help MSU fans (we won with/without our coach). the best to him on his recovery all the same.
September 24th, 2010 at 11:22 PM ^
No way Dantonio would miss the Michigan game, it's THE GAME for them.
September 24th, 2010 at 11:46 PM ^
Hopefully not until he is fully healthy and hopefully not for a rivalry that, while large in it's scope in Big Ten and Michigan football, is a pale second to a mans health.
September 25th, 2010 at 12:12 AM ^
He'll be back for the Michigan game. The guy has one interest in life - hating Michigan. He'll do whatever it takes to be back for the game. He rooted against his team's interest a couple years back just so he could root against Michigan. I don't think he'll have a problem putting his health on the back burner for the chance (slight as it may be) to beat Michigan.
September 25th, 2010 at 12:59 AM ^
I've heard of people needing a little while to come back from that type surgery, but I've also seen people back to normal pretty quickly. Best wishes to him as he recovers, and that it happens as quickly as possible. The on the field stuff takes a very distant back seat to one's health (or at least it should).
September 25th, 2010 at 7:27 AM ^
will just coincidentally happen to the their game in Ann Arbor. Which you can be sure will be an intensely emotional boost for the Spartoons. Ugh.
September 25th, 2010 at 8:36 AM ^
Don't know if others have posted.

My fav- "Wow. Shame he took 10 years off his life for Michigan State."

Tredwell was on TV the other day with that "he's still with us at practice" nonsense, sounding as if he is already dead. If I were a player, I don't think I would react positively to such hamfisted attempts to create emotional fervour. I am not one to laugh at other's misfortune, but it will be interresting to see how he team performs without him on the sidelines next week vs. Wisconsin.
