It must be hard for Izzo...

[Herky T Hawk]

To have lost the support of his best friends for the past 20 years. In the post game media session BTN showed a clip about him complaining about some calls that didn't go their way in the Wisconsin and Nebraska games. This after complaining about calls in the post game after our second contest with them. He can eat it for all I care after that 2013 BTT game with us.

I'm just sad that Bo retired before he had a chance to feel the same way too.

I'm sorry, but Tom Izzo has an issue with toughness. His team just isn't very tough...he is, but his team...not so much.

Shame that the refs are looking for, and calling, hand checking on defense. The arm bar technique is getting called against MSU. TV Ted better watch out or he's gonna wake up next to a horse head in his bed

Boo hoo. People have forgotten that Tommie is supposed to get what he wants.

He questioned his teams toughness but he also mentioned calls.

MSU got a ton of calls. When Nebraska went up by 8, the refs took over the game and all of a sudden MSU was at the FT line every time down the court, slowly climbing back in it. Denzel Valentine also traveled on the 3 point circus bank shot with 5 secs left. There were a few bad calls on MSU, I agree, but overall....eh.....MSU got the benefit of the doubt.

Tom and rat face are gonna have a few chats this week.

Bo Ryan, Coach K, Tom Izzo are no longer the top dogs.
They are little mutts who eat the crumbs from the table.
Those 3 guys made a living crying to the referees. Now
they just cry in their beer.

I saw his post game interview that was some true whiney bitchy crap for him to bring up calls in the wisky game.

Yeah that 2013 BTT game was borderline criminal but there was also a game they won at Carver two years that the refs gift wrapped for them as well.

I truly hope the refs continue to enforce the rules for the rest of the season and MSU can no longer play maul ball.

He was classeless in Iowa's beat down in EL postgame. No doubt about it. Lost a lot of respect.

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

The guy never had any class to begin with, anyone can be a good winner.

It is in defeat that one's true character shows and Tom Izzo has been exposed.

 

[hooper56]

I have had it with his smug condescension and him calling our Coach "franny" as if that were his nickname. No one else refers to Coach as Franny. It would be hilarious if Fran started referring to Izzo as "little Tommie".

I see what you did there. Good stuff.

didn't he say that Sapp was a bad shooter...but made a couple 3's?

 

[BGHAWK]

I was about to mention that. He said he isn't a very good shooter but made a couple of 3s. That's a dumb a$$ thing to say right after you got it handed to you.

That was very odd considering Clemmons was around a 37% three point shooter coming into the year. I've never heard a coach say that about an opposing player unless they're god awful, but even then they still don't come out and say bluntly that they're bad.
