There's a game tonight.

Samford & Sons is in trouble.

Doing my best, this will be the first step I take into the Breslin center since I had two good legs. Three hours away from sitting at my first MSU basketball game since I had to give away all my season tickets last year

Good Luck. I'm sure they could find you a spot, if you don't want to walk up or down stairs.

My biggest is problem is I can’t walk more than a quarter mile without a lot of pain.  Going to my orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to figure out why that is.  It’s been 10 months since it happened  10 months since surgery, And eight months since the last surgery.   I’m assuming the pain should be pretty much gone by now.  But it’s not


I’m actually sitting in the Kellogg center parking lot right now because I wanted to get a first row parking space so it’s not that much of a walk.   Just reading my phone and making calls.  


None of you East Lansing people told me not to take 127 north from 496?  I missed Dunkel Road.  What a pain in the ass that is

I'm jealous. And you're early. Better go in and have a drink or 3. Then get Kellogg to drive you over.

Fears turns it over 2 times. Izzo pulls him.

And then Holloman turns it over 2 times.

NIT

We were down 21-8.   We went on a 30-7 run.  

First 11 minutes we didnt look like an NIT team.  Last 8:30 we looked like a second weekend team.  

Someone has to lock Kohler  and Booker in a  weight room and only put water and protein in there. Yikes.

I have msu -17.5 & under 164.5

What was the tech for?

We’re screwed.

Akins had a nice game. Fears seemed to find his way to the dog house.

Holland and fears need to tighten it up. . I think they will Once Fiddler Starts getting his shot to drop with consistency, it’s really going to open things up for Zalpala.

This is going to be an interesting team, if they can find some chemistry and getting some shots to fall, they might be pretty much fun to watch If not, we’re looking at 18 victories

Fears played 13 minutes. Someone wasn't happy with his play. Fidler and Akins need to be our consistent scoring leaders. We can't have Holloman taking 9 3s a game. And there was a play on defense last night that showed why Booker doesn't get a ton of time (although to be fair, there were plenty of defensive lapses). Samford is a decent team. They should win their conference and make the tournament. Looked like a 6/11 (seed) match up to me. Hope Richardson isn't out for any extended time, although it might give Teng some more minutes.

Hill Oman played 31 minutes. If he plays that many minutes we need more than 1-9 from 3 from him. 9 asst 6 steals is good. But I do think Izzo was pissed at fears.

I turned to the guy I have seats with and said , “we’re 15-15 from the line”. He said, “you’re an ass”. Sure enough Fidler made the first missed the second. Then I think Cooper ended the game with two misses. 20-23. Not bad. A lot of our guys were 100% from the line. We have shooters.

Samford game re-cap... I was burping up the onion from the Dagwood's olive burger all 1st half. Matched the shooting.

Fidler has a scorer's mentality (which we desperately need). If his 3s start dropping, he'll easily lead the team in scoring.

Fears must have seriously messed up something on defense. And (although we did better in the 2nd half) I don't get why if we beat a press, that we don't push the ball to score...and not wait for the defense to catch up so we can run half-court sets.

And this will continue to be my pet peeve...why do we run the shot clock down...and then Akins (or whoever) will pass the ball with 5 seconds left to someone like Holloman to jack up a shot with 2 guys on him.

If we're gonna play 10 guys, then push the ball. Drive to the basket. Stop playing scared.

Women taking care of business. Beat 7-0 Vanderbilt 78-70 in the Acrisure championship game. Beat 6-0 California in the semis.

Pretty physical game.

MSU -4.5 tonight at the Barn.

I think we win by 6-12.

MSU 78 - Minny 62

That lockdown D shows up the second half.

I really need Booker to have a great game. If he can string a couple great games together, we’re off to the races.

Two old geezers trying to fight behind the Okemos 7th grade basketball bench will be pretty funny.

Suzy Merchant? More like Suzy Merchandise! Amirite?

To the death

Damn it. I’m at the Hampton Inn in big Rapids.. two day business deal today and tomorrow morning Hampton Inn has DIRECTV. I’ve got my honors Wi-Fi, but it won’t let my phone or my computer connect to my Xfinity.


MSU is not on Big Ten plus DIRECTV at the Hampton Inn in big Rapids does not have the Big Ten network


I can’t watch it on my Xfinity streaming


Please talk me through finding a way to stream this game on my phone or computer I’m in big Rapids fucking Michigan by myself on a Wednesday night in a hotel room that kind of stinks like maybe somebody died in it. I had two hardshell tacos and I’ve got a half a bottle of wine done.


Please one of your computer hacks. Give me step-by-step directions on how I get this on my computer.

Sign up for a free YouTube TV trial.

Btw a road win to start the B1G would be ideal, we need a good thread starter on this one.

Ok I'll do it and will take total responsibility if we lose.

They probably even have a free 14 day trail. I bet you a beer after the trail you’ll cancel Xfinity.

Bitches! I have no pants on at the Hampton in.

Dwags, I’ll bet you another beer you can google YouTubeTV and have it all ready to go with enough time to grab a drink from the hotel lobby bar before tip.

I have it on the computer. This fucking hampton in has no bar. I brought booze up for myself. I'm good to go. Stinks in this room like maybe somebody crapped the bed last night or threw up. The hampton in in Big Rapids does not have a five star rating I guess. With pionts and credits on Hotels.com I think the room cost 69 dollars. I guess you get what you pay for. I hope somebody wasn't murdered in here.

You need a VPN

I just saw a bit of cash in fears on that drive. I don’t like to compare our guys to past superstars. But I love that little hesitation like he was going to pull up and then drive to the hoop and get fouled.

If the dead guy OD’d in your room there was probably vomit coming out of his mouth. If someone was murdered you might be smelling something coppery and if it was a gut shot there might have been some entrails which wouldn’t smell good. Whatever way the guy died in your bed, he would’ve released his bowels after passing. So ID those smells and you can figure out what really went down.
