Tom Izzo staying at Michigan State.

[Condem]

Excellent news. Made my day. Pure class.

[Bluzmann57]

1. That's great!

I like Izzo and think he is among the two or three best college coaches in America.

[madinmaryland]

2. You are talking about class?

:rofl:

[Condem]

6. mad.

You take things much too personal around here. Follow LisaM's lead.

[madinmaryland]

11. Conservative Democrat????

Is that you??

[Condem]

12. Take your pick, mad. If it means a lot.

a. Conrad Demerist
b. Conniving Demagogue
c. Continuous Demonstration
d. Conservative Democrat
e. The Prairie Prince

[madinmaryland]

14. f.

Prairie Dog.

Conservative Prairie Dem seems to fit.

[Condem]

15. Then, that's what I'll be.

Do you wish to get in to some sort of personal discussion with me, mad? I'm all ears.

[LisaM]

3. I know why this is

because every time I am in the Lansing area at Christmas, I am invariably there for the Big Day when he goes to Tripper's and plays his accordion to raise money for charity!

:rofl:

[happyiowan]

5. Shit!

I'd stay anywhere they'd let me play my accordion too!

[LisaM]

10. It's just so strange

He wears glasses and (though this may just be in my mind) a sweater vest, and he plays Christmas carols. The money goes to kids. He's not that great, but it is sort of cute. I guess there's not much to do on the long winter nights up in Iron Mountain.

[happyiowan]

13. And this is the beauty of college sports.

It's a fishbowl for sure. But you don't get even a moment to be a real person in the pro's. God bless him. He sounds like he has an inner dork. Don't we all?

[happyiowan]

4. At age 55

saying that Michigan State is where he'll spend his career is commitment. That or he should be committed. Way to go Tom!

[TZ]

7. I wouldn't call it class

He obviously couldn't get assurances about LeBron. It's called enlightened self interest.

[Condem]

8. Even if he went to the Cav's, TZ. He's still pure class.

Speaking for the Big Ten (not ACC mad). We would of hated to lose him.

[fishwax]

9. I'm happy to hear that -- I think the college game fits him very well

and he's certainly among the very best in the game.
