Dantonio: I've Done Nothing Wrong and I'm Not Retiring
Dantonio just read a statement at the Breslin Center saying, of course, that he did nothing wrong, that he's a great guy, and that he runs a clean program. He then took a direct question, asking if he was retiring, and he said no.
Did not address any specific allegations in the ESPN story, of course.
Pride comes before the fall. Dantonio still thinks he's in the "pride" phase.
January 26th, 2018 at 7:53 PM ^
He's the worst
January 26th, 2018 at 8:09 PM ^
In this story, he is nowhere near the worst.
January 26th, 2018 at 8:32 PM ^
He also isn’t innocent.
January 26th, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
Isn't this essentially what Simon said up until the day she resigned?
January 26th, 2018 at 9:20 PM ^
You can say that again!
January 26th, 2018 at 9:21 PM ^
And again!
January 26th, 2018 at 9:44 PM ^
Dantonio is sparty Joe Pa.
January 26th, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
Isn't this essentially what Simon said up until the day she resigned?

“It's not over, it'll never be over, it's just getting started”
January 26th, 2018 at 9:39 PM ^
--or so he believes. Tough to say if he's just conditioned to think because he says it we will buy his bag of lies or is he clueless?
January 26th, 2018 at 11:55 PM ^
Have to agree
January 26th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
I cannot stand it when people reply to the first reply when not actually replying to said person, simply to get views on a post, but this needs to be seen. I’m not really surprised those fucking trashy people feel this way.

Just went over there and those people are fucking disgusting. Calling for defamation lawsuits against ESPN and pounding chests over Dantonio’s courage tonight. What a joke, I hope the NCAA finally reaches into their pants and finds their balls and nukes that joke of an institution
January 26th, 2018 at 9:42 PM ^
I saw the title of the thread and thought, “this has to be a joke,” but of course it was not. MSU fans are biggest pieces of trash on Earth.
January 27th, 2018 at 11:01 AM ^
Absolutely shameful.
January 27th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
"I'm going down to the courthouse and changing both my kids names to Mark Dantonio"
Oh dear...
January 27th, 2018 at 9:07 PM ^
end up in jail, too.
January 26th, 2018 at 10:06 PM ^
When people don't want to believe legitimate reporting, it's "fake". Defamation? Really?
Fucking delusional, desperate assholes. I don't know what I would do if something of this measure or scope would happen at UM. But I would probably start with accepting the FACT that my favorite school, in FACT, stood for a culture that all humans should inherently, and vehemently, oppose.
Time to hang up the fucking hat. This isn't about sports. It's not about rivalries. It's not about fucking trophies or "your pride". It's about the systematic cover up of rape, assault and child molestation. Burn your gear and any loyalty to an institution that spit in the face of its victims. In fact, burn that mother fucker to the ground. It's more than justified at this point.
January 26th, 2018 at 10:29 PM ^
i only lasted about 120 seconds visiting RCMB. It's truly Penn State all over again there.
January 27th, 2018 at 10:30 AM ^
I actually found my way over there briefly as well, and probably found the most ridiculous thread, even for sparty.
This guy was claiming that he has a family member with "deep ties to UM" who told him this whole thing was paid for by Michigan PR in order to bring down MSU football and basketball.
It is a full blown shit show at this point.
January 27th, 2018 at 3:11 PM ^
Been saying this all along. They're rightly mortified with having a child molester operating freely on their campus for 20 years, but they are way, WAY more concerned about someone coming after their precious Mork and Ewok. You are about to see the definition of "insanely irrational" and so it's no surprise they are projecting all this on their deepest animus--the University of Michigan.
January 26th, 2018 at 7:54 PM ^
He’s a piece of shit.
January 26th, 2018 at 8:01 PM ^
Holy Hannah.
Well, maybe he’s right. Maybe they’ll fire him instead.
January 27th, 2018 at 9:40 AM ^
There’s nobody there to fire him.
January 26th, 2018 at 7:54 PM ^
They’ve moved right on to “clusterf-ck.”
January 27th, 2018 at 12:37 AM ^
Little known fact. Jesus actually said that too... "pride cometh before the fall, which cometh before the clusterfuck." Just ask SRK.
January 27th, 2018 at 1:32 AM ^
I am 99.99% certain if he hadn't, you would not have heard it from M.D. I know, of course, you're being sarcastic, but many here do not.
January 27th, 2018 at 8:19 PM ^
I believe that is Mork 3:16, right?
January 26th, 2018 at 7:54 PM ^
don't forget "Spartan Nation!"
what the fuck was that?
January 26th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
...free license to dig and find out what he knew and when he knew it.
January 26th, 2018 at 8:06 PM ^
Yup...its best in these circumstances to sound remorseful and contrite. Otherwise John Barr and Co. will sink their teeth in.
January 26th, 2018 at 8:11 PM ^
ESPN has Mark Fainaru-Wada warming up in the bullpen to close it out. His reporting is a large reason why Barry Bonds doesn't have a plaque in Cooperstown yet. If his byline is on a Dantonio article, it's over.
January 27th, 2018 at 11:59 AM ^
For $100, Alex
January 26th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
I thought he might try to pull out the JoePa "I coulda done moah" card. Nope.
January 26th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
I hope Jim punches his fucking teeth in at mid-field next year.
January 26th, 2018 at 7:59 PM ^
You really think they're gonna let their former coach on the field after something like this?
January 26th, 2018 at 8:07 PM ^
I don't think it is funny...ESPN is reporting legit concerns that Dantonio's program was accepting heinous crimes.
Dantonio has always been a douche and a liar...but this is sickening.
MSU will have to let him go if ESPN is accurate.
January 26th, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
I live in the lansing area and that is the mantra up here.
January 27th, 2018 at 8:22 AM ^
They clearly sold themselves out to do that.
January 26th, 2018 at 8:16 PM ^
It's disgusting. He supposedly kissed off a sexual assault by having the player talk to his mother? Is that Red Lock status?
January 26th, 2018 at 8:22 PM ^
"Dean of Dicsipline"
January 26th, 2018 at 8:28 PM ^
...do...do you think that I think this is funny?
January 26th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
I got that impression when you posted a gif of a guy pointing and laughing at the comment that Dantonio won't be around this fall. No biggie, sorry if I misinterpreted.
January 26th, 2018 at 11:05 PM ^
It was just a "I understand and appreciate your quip". I do not think mass rape is funny.
January 27th, 2018 at 1:18 PM ^
He;s really just trying to say that "I care more about this, and thus I'm a better person than you." Just accept that you can't possibly care as much as him. You'll never be as good as him.
January 26th, 2018 at 8:08 PM ^
Last year was Dantonio’s last U of M-MSU game.
January 26th, 2018 at 9:08 PM ^
really don’t think so. I may be in the minority but I don’t think that either Izzo or Dantonio will resign or be fired anytime soon. There is a lot to be investigated.
January 26th, 2018 at 11:59 PM ^
Neither will resign. Or be fired. Witch hunt is in full effect however
