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.

I don’t know what Dantonio did or didn’t do. What he covered up or didn’t. For all I know he didn’t cover up anything. All I know is that he had to have paid a steep price for the deal he made. And sooner or later, the devil always comes to collect his due.

A “Deal with the Devil” is actually a cultural motif or a metaphor for exactly what is happening at MSU. And it almost always ends with the person going to hell or losing the one thing they truly deserve or love.
Fitting analogy.

Clearly the talking points have made the rounds. Prepare thyselves for all the bullshit to come. Will be interesting to see how much of it is bought up by those outside of the state who may not be wise to these delta bravos.

I would like to see Izzo go full Nick Nolte in Blue Chips. Go to the press conference, admit that he had sexual predators on his team, and quit right on the spot, just like Nolte did in Blue Chips.

“Did nothing wrong” is Semantics but We know Dantonio is lying because it was reported that he investigated and adjudicated rapes himself.
January 26th, 2018 at 11:00 PM ^
lying through his teeth. Then he lied throgh his teeth about his lie tonight.

Serious question for MGoMDs: is being under this kind of stress (in addition to head football coach stress) really bad for someone who has already had a heart attack? Or do meds pretty much keep everything in check?

the OTL report is all old news being repackaged. So far there's nothing solid indicating a lack of appropriate oversight much less a coverup, either with Dantonio or Izzo. It's not right to want them to go down over a scandal that has little or nothing to do with their programs.

I guess Mork was wrong when he said "it will never be over", cause it sure seems to be over at this time.
January 27th, 2018 at 9:08 AM ^
be surprised if both Izzo and Dantonio survive this, especially Dantonio.....I think more will get peeled back and more info that is bad is going to keep coming out....Especially with all the new turnover.....

doing the "wrong thing" in these situations (sexual assualt); and deflecting and rationalizing is just not going to cut it - and that goes for before, during and after (the act).
January 27th, 2018 at 9:55 AM ^
always has a scowl on his face when he was on the sidelines and amongst his players
January 27th, 2018 at 9:59 AM ^
That's a doozy of a directed question:
"There have been erroneous rumors that your are planning on resigning, is that absolutely untrue?"
Let me just tell you in my question that I already know the answer.

Just saw a bit of the OTL report. Wow. And Dantonio's denial. Wow. I love sports, especially college sports, but we need to stop deifying athletes, and allowing them to think they are above reproach. It has to begin with coaches; they have to be the adults in the room and be held accountable. It should start in high school (or earlier), and there needs to be zero tolerance.
