I fully expect that the BBC interrupted their regularly scheduled programming to let the Brits know that Jack Gohlke hit 10 threes to pull off the
#14
-3 upset over Kentucky.
Lions are 52.5% on the season in 4th down conversions and have the 3rd ranked offense in the NFL.
Michael Badgley is a career 38% kicker from 50+ yards.
Food for thought for some of the takes I'm seeing out there...
This goes without saying, but there is a good chance we will see an MSU team that is a shell of itself in Ann Arbor tomorrow. I could also see the team playing its most inspired ball of the year. Neither would surprise me.
But no matter the result PLEASE be supportive of them.

A DGD indeed. Nolan Smith, what a joy to cover you.

There could not have been more tone deaf article following the shooting last night.
Yes, Nassar is a garbage human being. But he had quite literally nothing to do with last night. And bringing up his name again is just salt in the wound of an already grieving campus. π
Tonight's Tigers game?
-Clinch a playoff spot when they were at 0.2% odds just 47 days ago
-Give the White Sox the most losses ever by an MLB team
-Jason Benetti on the call with his current team playing his former team.
-Night game at Comerica
It's gonna be a movie, folks.

I typically don't excuse a show for having a 3 YEAR hiatus but HOLY shit folks this was 10000% worth the wait.
Takeaways:
1. Keon is that dude. Will be in the NFL for sure.
2. MSU D did everything they needed to to put them in a spot to win.
3. Offensive playcalling continues to make me want to rub a cheese grater against my face.
4. Chopping on the sideline is getting old.
Fresh off the presses, a new and improved high school football map for Michigan. Combines 8-man and 11-man teams, and I filled out the counties with larger logos for readability.
I tried my best to get them geographically accurate within the county, but in some cases it was
Under Tom Izzo, MSU is 8/10 making the Final Four when they win in Ann Arbor (the two years where they didn't were 2004 and 2016).
They are 0/12 making the Final Four when they don't win in Ann Arbor.

I don't want to make light of this situation in the slightest, but I honestly think Tom Izzo should be on the sideline with the team this week. Not calling plays but still as a coaching figure.
There is no bigger advocate for the university and football program than this guy.
Mazi will probably get reduced charges, and that's fine. It's not that serious, and he made a mistake. MSU players made mistakes too.
The issue is the AD and prosecutor's way of handling this. Why did Mazi play for 7 more games if this was still in question? Why cover this up?

Thank you so much for all your thoughts and support. β€π
Anytime Nebraska and MSU play, I can't help but think of these two outstanding gentleman and how we tragically lost them both too early.
RIP to both π
This Miles Bridges stuff is sickening. Praying that the rest of the family is able to escape and get the help and healing they need.
MB has to serve time for this and should not step on an NBA floor again.
Just so sad.
Just taking a moment today to appreciate that we the people of Twitter strong armed the Big Ten into moving from the atrocity on the left back to the beauty on the right.

MSU is a very good education. But you have to be elite to get into Michigan. No one goes to MSU who gets excepted to Michigan.
Thank you to the police officers who are searching campus furiously.
Thank you to the dispatchers.
Thank you to everyone working at the hospital tending to victims.
Thank you to our news reporters for getting their arms around the accurate information and updates.
This 30 seconds. This is why I love this guy. Getting choked up talking about your family, the reason behind your every action.
So people talk about why they come to MSU's campus and return after they graduate. It's always been about family over everything.

Last year, the Big Ten made a change to its tournament logo (left).
Now, it appears The Pinwheel (right) has returned!
And it should ALWAYS be The Pinwheel.
I'm not saying an L from Taylor Lewan is TOO surprising, but for a guy who lived in Michigan 5 years this is pretty embarrassing.

MSU has zero (0) recruiting de-commitments since the start of the losing streak. That means that everyone waiting in the wings still sees the long-term Tucker vision, and so should we.
Be disheartened today, that's fine. But don't lose hope for the program.

Remember them. Honor their memories. Don't stop fighting for change.
Our hearts are with all their families today as they mourn. π
Tom Izzo turns 69 today (nice). And he gets to coach a game against the team that fires him up most. With a chance to notch win 700.
That'd be a pretty sweet birthday present, methinks.
Happy Birthday to the π

That's a pretty damn good list.
Here are my takeaways from last night:
1. KLA should be leading in touches
2. Chiles can elevate this team extremely high but his decision making has a ways to go. Fans need to CHILL on him, man.
3. No such thing as too much usage of Jack Velling.
4. Defense is better than
It's not every day you get to see someone standing directly in front of the legacy they built in admiration. The UM rivalry would not be what it is today without this man.
Say what you want about how he left, but Dantonio is also the reason we have the expectations we do. π
