SIAP: Izzo Responds to Questions after Maryland Game
I am going to let the video do the talking on this one, but I will make a prediction right now: This will be his last season as MSU coach, and he may very well not make it to the end of this season. He looks like a completely beaten man...

This has been going on and many of us saw the sweeping under the rug of many of Dantonios and Izzos players transgressions..37 incidents wre reported to Mark Emmert the NCAA President and not one damm thing was done. The culture at MSU was to PROTECT the precious athletes at all costs and Dantonio and IZZO were in on it. That the NCAA KNEW and Emmert did nothing makes Him just as culpable.
I dont see how any of three survive

He also said he cooperated with every investigation & will cooperate with every investigation not all of this was even investigated because some of it was hidden by him and his AD

I think they need to go shopping for new counsel.

just a brutal 3 mins there on the video.

A part of you feels sorry for him and then you remember what he allegedly did. If true there will be no hugs or sorrow
January 28th, 2018 at 6:04 PM ^
This is going to get worse for MSU before it gets better
January 28th, 2018 at 6:01 PM ^
Popped into RCMB to get a pulse on how they were going to spin this disaster. There is very real concern over there after this presser.
My take: His absolute non-answer to a very simple "any regrets?" question spoke volumes. Clearly he does have regrets...Shit I thought he was going to start crying as he looked down before answering with his "we cooperated" BS. Now the question is: are his regrets because these past events are going to be his undoing, or are they because he knows his program has left a wake of victims behind it?
January 28th, 2018 at 6:06 PM ^
I was thinking the EXACT same thing. This is gonna take a toll in short order...it seemed almost surreal he could be caring about a basketball game after it has come out what he helped cover up...

and, have they completely Sparted themselves and not hired anyone to, you know, do some crisis management. 'Cause Rule #1 bout being in deep shit is you don't take unscheduled, unprepared for questoins about being in deep shit.

Izzo seemed almost completely unprepared. How does that happen? The answers to the Walton questions were really bad. I understand that saying, "I'm only taking questions about the game" would come off as somewhat callous, but it would have been a lot better than the answers he gave.
January 28th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
To have Izzo out there like that winging it is just stupid.
January 28th, 2018 at 7:15 PM ^
Or maybe they've tried to teach him what to say and he just couldn't pull it off. He's an emotional guy, seeing his legacy potentially being destroyed, and that "regret" question cut him deep.
January 28th, 2018 at 6:51 PM ^
Wow. It is.
He answered every past tense question about Walton and 2010 with a present tense phrase “I’ll cooperate with any investigation...”
I don’t think it could have been worse. There’s no now to put on this but goodness it was bad
January 28th, 2018 at 6:16 PM ^
It'd help Izzo a lot if he'd show some fucking leadership up there. I bet he acted like the same coward when these rapes were being swept under the rug.
January 28th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
Some of the MSU brahs are claiming that we want Izzo out simply because he dominates us.
The thing is, Izzo hasn't dominated us in recent years. The past 8 seasons we have a winning record versus Izzo - look it up.
Perhaps, we just want to end rape culture and that means looking into the evidence that ESPN has presented.
January 28th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
Do they realize that it's not just Michigan fans? People all over the country are talking about MSU at the moment - not in the way they'd like...

I don't know that he's getting a pass. Izzo just had to give this press conference, since they had a game today.

I vividly remember every detail.Most appalling to me is Izzo's new found desire to 'help the survivors' and 'be part of the healing' he is wrapping them around himself like a politicians wraps the flag around them.Are there any adults at MSU?

With Payne, there is the stock response about what a great guy he is, since he befriended a little girl, which somehow proves that he couldn't have committed rape.
Walton had no such Hallmark moment to distract everyone.
January 28th, 2018 at 7:20 PM ^
January 28th, 2018 at 8:12 PM ^
Uh, no, their daughter is dead.
January 28th, 2018 at 8:13 PM ^
With Payne thing was known and there's also more blame on the cops and the DA. The Walton thing was far more hush hush afaik.
