What's not being said is their fans bamboozle him when he does games in El because his son goes to AA. Their fans have zero class. At Crisler there are some bad fans, but, as a whole? ITS NIGHT AND DAY.

Is it weird that he calls it "the Izzone"? Is that like the official name or something? I mean I'd probably be flattered enough that they named the student section after me but I'd feel weird calling it that in public. I'd probably still call it "the student section". Maybe that's just me though. Anyway, carry on, Tommy.

In fairness, Izzo's not wrong.  Dakich probably crossed a line there.  And it's a bit short-sighted to alienate an entire fanbase for a twitter jab.

In fairness also, Dakich isn't wrong either.  So I call it a tie.

(And yeah, it is hilarious to hear Izzo whine about being called a whiner.)

Is anyone from MSU going to apologize for the students chanting "Fuck Jim Harbaugh" about 6 times during the game last fall? No? But Izzo wants a public apology for something an announcer said on Twitter, oh and the comment was actually true albeit rude? There is a severe little man complex going on in EL all the way from the President to the Janitors. They'll get their time on the front page news here REAL soon.

How do you mean?  Don't we chant "little brother" if anything?  Shouldn't even do that, but don't ever remember hearing little sister chants. 

But that's between MSU and UofM, and really outside this conversation.  Izzo is taking offense to Dakich and invoking the correct response of the Izzone chanting at him, and demanding an apology.  If apologies are needed for offensive things being said on Dakich's part, then apologies are also required for offensive things said on the Izzone's part.  Pot calling the kettle black and all that

i'm not going to watch video, because fuck that guy, but good god, what a twatwaffle.

The "can't get into college, go to state?" thing is so 1985. Pretty unprofessional of Dakich, and it will probably cost him games on ESPN (and probably $$) so not the brightest move on his part. 

The fact that it triggered an MSU student section meltdown and subsequent Izzo petty little brother rant is a wonderful silver lining, however. Anything to get under the angry elf's skin is gold, Jerry.  GOLD!

this isn't Curt Schilling level absurdity. Just because Izzo whined about it out loud at a post-game presser, doesn't make it a big deal. I doubt it will cost him money or any games, it shouldn't. Jemele Hill is constantly trolling Michigan and the fanbase and she has never once been fined for it by ESPN. Amin Elhassan (ESPN employee) insulted the son of a WWE star that is reported to be on the autism spectrum. I didn't hear of a fine or anything coming of that (he "apologized"). So if you can take shots at a kid with a suspected disability and not get fined, I don't see how you can get fined for calling a coach and it's fanbase cry babies.

I wasn't suggesting he would or should get "fined".  My point was that he probably won't do another MSU game, which could cost him money - these guys generally get paid per game that they broadcast. Jemele Hill is a commentator, not a play-by-play or color analyst, so although she pisses me off, she wouldn't likely get fined for her opinions, stupid as they are.
