    Go Green - Go White

    Michigan State is going to the Final Four - for the 2nd year in a row.
    Unbelievable . . . .

    Kalin Lucas is gone with a torn Achilles tendon; Delvon Roe has a torn meniscus; Chris Allen also has a foot problem.

    But there is a very special tradition at MSU. Since Tom Izzo became head coach, every player that he has recruited and who completed their full eligibility has gone to the Final Four. How is that for a recruiting tool?

    Why do you have to deride Izzo by calling him a tool?

    Check out Real Sports on HBO, they did a nice piece on Izzo for this month's program.

    You misunderstood me. I never implied Tom Izzo is a tool. I simply stated that his fantastic record of taking MSU to the Final Four is a very effective recruiting tool.

    If you had a college age son, who played basketball, and Tom Izzo came to recruit him - well, with his record of 13 consecutive NCAA appearances, and 6 Final Fours - wouldn't you be excited!!

    I was kidding. He's a great coach-you can see it in the interview.



    I don't think I'd want my kid to be a basketball player..I'm 6'2', he'd be a monster.....probably 6" 16' or something crazy like that.




    I always wanted a daughter, Three of them.

    Volleyball, Shooting and whatever the third one wants to do with her life.

    Oh my lord.

    Every tournament/playoff in sports should end that way. But, not with a loser.

    Great games at the end, close and way too crazy to predict!
