Pumped to watch some hoops with my family over thanksgiving. Always good to play some high level programs this time of year.

I just got a fresh z this week. Been sampling it liberally today and just burned the shit out of my thumb on the oven. Based on results so far I'll enjoy the games even if we lose.

Michigan State basketball vs. UCLA: Here's our prediction

I wish Shaka Smart was available whenever the King hangs them up.

I used to think that. I don't think the Longhorn faithful are quite as enamored with him. He hasn't done a whole lot since arriving at Texas.

Dwayne Stephens is my first pick.

I love Dewey and I know Draymond loves him and touts him. I wish the hell he would go fly and become a HC somewhere - otherwise I have trouble handing the program to him. I guess it worked with Izzo, so maybe it will twice.

Maybe Izzo will hang on 10 years and hand it to his protege Draymond.

Then again, given his current trajectory Loyer may be coaching this team by March.

Yeah, passing the torch seems like the MSU way. Stephens has coached sixteen years under Izzo and he suited up in the green. And to your point he has Day day’s blessing.

Every time I type his name I want to spell it Draymont to honor Izzo.....

Loyer leads MSU to easy win over UCLA

Looking at the stat sheet. Kenny Goins with 13 rebounds!!! Damn.
