No surprise that you admire him, he's a fine Christian man.

We're damned lucky to have both. I think I'd get along better with Izzo but I think Dantonio has done more with less.

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2018-07-25, 00:41

The amount of moxy coach d has is just unparalleled. I wish izzo would just calm the fuck down for a second, ya know?

That's a Sofie's choice question!

by **tGreenWay** 2018-07-25, 03:55

Izzo, by far. I’ll bet the guy loves to laugh.

by **Floyd Robertson** 2018-07-25, 05:19

Dantonio. As Tom himself admits, we're a football school. Dantonio woke up the sleeping giant.

Stupid question, false dichotomy

Denicos Allen.

by **steveschneider** 2018-07-25, 08:17

Tough question. Dantonio did one thing I never thought I’d see in my life and that is dominate UofM football in state. I don’t know though Izzo and all those epic final four runs and the championship. I can’t pick.

Maybe my all time favorite Spartan football player

I'm going to go with Izzo, but reality is that both are great. Can we ask at the end of this season if we happen to go 5-7 in football and make it to the national title game in BBall?

I tried finding that exact quote in a short clip. I could only find it here. God that day was awesome. I remember getting in an argument with some obnoxious OSU fan (redundant). He was telling our group that it would be best for the Big Ten if OSU wins so they get to the BCS championship game and MSU will still go to the Rose Bowl. I basically turned into Denicos for a minute or two. I remember telling him to have fun in the Orange Bowl as he was getting corralled by his people.

Those bars around the stadium are fun before the BTCCG.

by **Robert J Sakimano** 2018-07-25, 08:43

they both seem like the kind of guys I'd really enjoy having a beer with.

Yeah I’m not sure of the exact quote. Ironic was him making THE play to win it. Was probably my favorite game to be at as a Spartan.

Love it during the bt tournament too

OTPT obv

I like both our coaches. I was very proud of how Dantonio shut down the media immediately while Izzo sort of deflected. So in terms of respect, I lean a little toward MD.

Izzo wants to be liked. Dantonio wants to be right. Both handled it exactly like I thought they might.

by **Cameron** 2018-07-25, 10:54

Because the freshest on-court/on-field memory in my mind is of Ben fucking Carter in the Syracuse game, I'm gonna have to go with Coach D. That might change after the first three and out of football season, though...

Three and outs are a big part of “Tressel Ball”. Not fun to watch but hard to argue with the results.

Each are wonderful in their own, different ways.

because, if so, I have a problem with that.

He doesn’t drink in public.

So he’s fake and not comfortable in his own skin? (Why claim you don’t drink then is what I’m getting at)

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 2018-07-25, 13:42

I drink in public. I've even been known to have a long island or two on the Peanut Barrel patio. I bet I've sat near Bob once or twice.

I once was able to get 4 long islands. Fuck their rule.

You’d have to ask him, but he doesn’t owe you any explanation.

yeah, sorry about that.

(actually, in the 20+ years I've been going to PB usually once or twice per week, I think I've sat on the patio maybe 2-3 times. I don't like the heat.. or the sun. I don't mind it, necessarily, if I'm doing something like mowing, running, riding my bike.. but I don't like just sitting in it.).

Oh, I thought he did owe me an explanation.... thanks for clearing that up.

The complexity that is Bob is indecipherable.

I think there’s a picture of him with a glass of wine somewhere. I also think he’s spot on when he described getting drunk. So he’s lying. Which is ok not to like him if he’s a liar also. I know a guy who has a drink now and again but never gets drunk. He says he doesn’t drink. I tell my wife he’s full of shit but she says no, he’s not cause he never had more than one drink and never gets drunk. And I quit arguing with her because I can’t get her to agree one drink is still fucking drinking. Maybe Izzo is like my wife, and it’s ok not to like him if he’s like her too, cause she’s frustrating very often. But would probably have played JJJ against Syracuse

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2018-07-25, 16:44

Yeah the guy who has a drink and says he doesn’t drink is full of shit. I’d actually be embarrassed if i was that guy - not being able to own something you take part in.

Your posts seem to suggest that Izzo owes you explanations for a lot of things. I hope someday you get to have a conversation with him so you’ll have a chance to call him fake, among other things. Of course, you wouldn’t, but keep posting like you would.
