I hope Giant Moose is going to be ok. He still has he Heels to root for and hopefully MSU and their 2nd tier coach lose to one of them soon. Very soon.

Stop attacking Tom Izzo and his family.

I wasn't. His son rightly picked Duke to win because he is a realist. He is a smart guy.

Other than Russell Byrd, to you ever think about anything except Duke, Carolina and the failures of Tom Izzo ?

I get that this is your schtick and if you can piss people off your message board day is made but damn dude.

I know 20 years of sustained excellence is not good enough for you. I know 7 final fours are failure in your mind. I know you get off on Duke and Carolina owning Izzo. You LOVE rubbing this in. Don't even try to deny it.

I also know you never reference Izzo's record against: Kanas, Kentucky, UConn, Florida, Indiana or the other programs you deem superior to Izzo's.

All of this makes me wonder what you do for a living. Are you the absolute BEST at what you do ? If you are the 4th best in your profession does this mean you suck ? You make some awfully hard demands of a man that is among the best in the world at what he does. Do you demand the same things of yourself ?

Izzo is a great coach and will be a HoFer just like 100 or so other coaches. Saying that he is one of the 100 best coaches of all-time isn't an insult. We all want him to be in the top 15 with the multi-title winners, but he isn't quite there yet. If he could figure out how to beat Duke and UNC in the Final Four, he would be in that category already.

If ANY coach could figure out how to beat Duke and UNC in the Final Four, they would probably be in that category. So, how many of those are there?

I know off the top of my head that Jim Calhoun has done it, so why can't Izzo?

Agreed. The excuses for Izzo get tiring. C'mon Iz, get it done this April so I get to stop listening to our fan base make excuses.

How many people would have to tell you to fuck off with this shit before you would actually fuck off?

And fuck you, Steve.
