Izzo admits he hasn't done a good job adjusting to the rules

Yes, we know Tom. Please adjust.

I always find it strange that the coaches, the press, educated fans, idiot fans, etc. can all see the same thing, but only a few can speak about it. The natives get restless very easily, even though we're all seeing the same thing.

Yes Tom, your teams foul a lot. Idiot fans want to blame officiating and create conspiracy theories, but I'm glad at least you realize that it's you and not the officiating.

Next week: Tom admits his teams turn the ball over a lot,  especially at critical moments.

And yet, come time for the tournament, suddenly everything that was emphasized during the year stops getting called.
Tinfoil hat time. The B1G knows that MSU is going to make the tournament. A win over MSU is a big win for a team that could be on the bubble.

You can't be serious?

I'm not a tinfoil hat guy - but the refs do seem call conference games A LOT different than they do in March. Unless by then Izzo has always just dropped the football helmet and shoulder pads act?

About the refs calling MSU games differently? I said it was tinfoil, which to me means something fun to think about but not take too seriously.

Officials swallow their whistle in the tournament. The play of teams don't change but officials seem to let teams play more. What Izzo needs to do is add the parts that wins us a NC. The rest is just noise. We've lost three games. It's mid January, I could give a rip about regular season shit. Figure it out, win enough to get us a 3 seed or better.

Izzo is stubborn? No way!

Only when he says so.

Tom admits fans on message boards crack him up.

Link coming.

Tom admits him and mooch don't really know each other.

All the fouling was one of the biggest flaws of the team so far (in my stupid mind anyways). If Izzo can get that under control and we can stop sending teams to the line so much we have a legit shot at having a special season.

Can't confirm Tom but I have shot up in the bathroom of Dagwood's with Lupe. Bob was there, too.

Tom admits he gets daily emails from Vlad wanting to fix the team, but deletes them, laughing his head off every day.

Tom admits he sometimes just says stuff to divert everyone's attention.

Oops. Probably shouldn't have said anything.

Tom admits he has seven final fours in 16 years but still gets advice from dumb asses.

That is a bit of a bombshell.

I save all my big news for the swill.

This is why MSU could not hire Mooch. There was no influence from Izzo.

#truth

Tom admits that while Final Fours are nice, they're really just the semifinals.

But I do like wearing my FF t-shirts as a reminder that we fell either one or two games short those years. And this year's "We're in" CFP t-hirt is going to make a nice addition to my MSU semi finals collection, and later to my MSU semifinals shrine in the basement.

Such an arrogant post. You belong with the u-m crowd. Oh, wait....

Every bit as original as your trolling.

I like to buy the semifinal t-shirts that have all four team logos on it. Otherwise over the years I forget which team we lost to in which year.

That schtick is kind of already taken. Maybe you should get a different one.

I know, right?

Michigan took theirs down.

Vlad and Moose expect that when we get to the national semifinals or finals we should be competitive.

However, that won't make them happy and stop them from being such whiny bitches.

Winning them would temporarily and then they would resume being whiny bitches as soon as possible.

We can shut the internet down now.

It's called demanding excellence. Granted I still wear my 2015 cotton bowl shirt with pride, but I understand their point. It's Democratic to have these types of discussions

Demanding excellence as a sports fan doesn't do anything except make you frustrated. And annoy the rest of us. In very rare instances can you enact change by "demanding excellence". Might as well enjoy the ride.

Next he'll admit his team doesn't defend the three. That might happen if we get destroyed by Maryland.

Team meeting on Sunday.

It's all good.

B lowers crack me up. Well done.

Which 2015 shirt? The one from January 1 or the one from December 31?
