Izzo calling his shot. Guarantees win in Ann Arbor a la Tressel
The headline pretty much says it all. Last night after the MSU vs. Iowa game Izzo said "We're gonna find a way to win on Saturday and get you back where you belong: in the NCAA tournament," Sounds eerily like a guarantee Tressel made at an OSU basketball game about 10 years ago. Hopefully Beilien's boys can make Izzo eat his words. Here's the article link http://www.freep.com/article/20110303/COL22/103030695/Michael-Rosenberg-MSU-s-Tom-Izzo-isn-t-guaranteeing-a-win-just-promising?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|FRONTPAGE|p
By the way, if anyone needs tickets still, there are two pairs up for online auction that supports UofM undergrad scholarships at this link http://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/item/Item.action?id=127605674 Apparently you get a tax write off over the face of the tickets
...Uh...I....I don't want to see that....
What would a day on MgoBlog be like without the daily grautious sissy points grab by The Guy who has to comb the intranets for people saying bad things about Michigan?
To paraphrase Bo Schembechler, though, I think this is better than Izzo guaranteeing a loss.
It was an unintended guarantee, but a guarantee nonetheless.
Step 1: Activate Gritborg
Step 2: Gritborg disembowel Izzo
Step 3: Gritborg hear the lamentations of their women
In other words, step 3 = profit
"Find a way to win" means "we won't be favored and it's an uphill battle." Sparty is clearly coming into the game with its tail between its legs, knowing UM will have had a week off waiting, waiting, waiting to clobber them. Not saying we're going to win in a route, but I like the mojo of all of this.
By the way, related question... if you make the "first four" but lose one of those Tuesday play-in games... does it really COUNT? I mean, can you say "we made the tournament"... to me, feels more like, "we had to prove we were worthy to make the tourney and we didn't make it."
When you put something in all caps please spell it correctly/use the right word.
this was a COMPLEMENT to us.
Agreed, Izzo was saying P(State Win) = 1-P(Mich Win).
to Spartoons. Maybe there's an incentive to hold onto them and actually show up themselves.
If I see any of them doing it I will want to knock their ass out right there outside the concouse Saturday.
Some goes for football... FUCKING embarrasment this shity fair weather fanbase allowed 50,000 mouth-breathing-wife-beating-sheep-sodomizing-pormstar-moustache-sporting-sweaty-yellow-t-shirt-wearing cocksuckers from Cbus to turn the Big House into a home game for tUoOS in 2009. Fucking embarrassing. I hate our dysfunctional fanbase as much as the OP hates Sparty.
God that was such bullshit. Soon we'll give tOSU theirs too, but right now I'm concerned about kicking MSCC's ass up and down the floor and Crisler tomorrow.
Their scared and we know it. The whole fanbase. A win Saturday changes everything and they know it. Do we instantly become a better program? No, we're a few years away just as they are in football. However, recruiting is improving year by year and we're breathing down their neck, we have a top notch facility coming in and Beilein has a blueprint to turn this into a top 5 program nationally.
I can't even sit still typing this with a brutal hangover and we're still more than 24 hours away.
GO BLUE, FUCK STATE.
we gave him a ten year run and now its time to take it back! maybe they will have a recruit roll an suv this week and we can get back to the way it was intended to be. GO BLUE!
has shown they can play with the big teams, they just need to finish strong we should have a chance.
I am beyond sick of Michigan State and that hypocritical fan base.
It's our time.
To hell with them. Screw Tom Izzo and all those goddamn degenerates that attend that cess pool of a school. I hate every last one of them.
I am tired of the texts from disdainful "friends" of mine who have all the class you'd expect from a Spartan. Our arrogance on the football field is eclipsed only by theirs regarding their baskball program, only their too blind to realize it.
I am sick of:
their fraudulent 11-2 football record
Izzo of the North(ern peninsula) who stomps around the court like a spoiled child
their preseason #2 ranking
the "disciplinarian" Dan Fuckahonio
Little Giants
1181 days
the term DickRod
Fat jokes
some stupid ass thing known as the Unity Council
Drunk ass whores passed off as hot women
courtesy rides from Lansing County Jail to the practrice field by A HEAD COACH. (Saban thinks that a questionable practice).
the Red Cedar Message Board
that fat, balding smug turd Hollis
George Perles
George Blaha just because every time he shouts "Touchdown MSU" I want to stab his partner Jim Miller in his fat face with a rusty bayonet
the color green
the letter S
the fact that I'm forced to drive through Lansing to do my business
and any other stench caused by the mere existence of that second rate, glorified community college. Burn you sons of bitches. I hope you all jump into the frozen Red Cedar River this Saturday evening after you get swept by Michigan Basketball. Yeah, THAT Michigan basketball. The one you loathe more than anything else on the planet.
Go Blue
Are you available for a pre-game speech on Saturday?
Tell us how you really feel...stop holding back...
great vent!!!
Last game of the year, Brett. Can't hold anything back now.
*slow clap* Well done sir.
It's not our time until we win. Until we beat some rivals' asses.
A victory Saturday would be a GREAT start to what we hope will be our time in both sports.
HOOAH!
<bites shield>
MICHIGAN Basketball.
There's only one thing we can do: win the game.
WHAT NOW IZZO
Not Disney Land..
