Biggest idiot ever. Dakich is still sore he was bypassed for the IU job. Cannot stand that dude. He says craxy shit just to get hits, and listeners(on his radio show). Such a dipshit.

I actually liked Dakich when he first started announcing but now he's just an over the top parody of himself with an obnoxious anti-MSU shtick that is only funny to him and UM fans.
 
Not surprised at the outcome. Always tough to win in Bloomington. Impressive they can shoot 27% from 3 and still win.

Great game! Both teams fought like hell. Best team won today. IU needs this intensity every game. IU needs Phinisee and Romeo to take over next year, as Durham and Green are not the answer. Archie has IU in the right direction.

I’ve seen a pretty good amount of Phinisee. I wouldn’t overhype him. Kid is going to take a while to develop. He has the potential to be a very solid BIG point guard, but I don’t think he’s an immediate game changer for you guys. Langford would be.

Yeah this Dakich take on Bridges is the equivalent to a heat check long 3 a player would take in a game when hes hit a couple shots in a row.

Dakich has been on fire lately with his B1G takes. Hes called Andrew Dakich as 6th man, was saying Vince and Carsen as potential B1G PoTY candidates before even Purdue fans were clamoring for it(and now Archie Miller called Vince the B1G Player of the year in his post game presser yesterday), and he of course picked Ohio State as a final four team preseason when we all thought theyd miss the tournament.

He clearly let it get to his head and now hes throwing out the "Bridges has no game" and doubling down on the dumb take for whatever reason. Bridges is basically a two way dynamo who does a little of everything despite playing out of position so its odd he says Bridges has "no game." Not even sure what that supposedly means.
 
Lot of stuff in the other threads to sift through, but to avoid the trolls in there...what's the guess on Izzo?

Just watching him go nuts and hug everyone after a win against an unranked opponent, then struggle to even utter words when that ESPN reporter asked him questions he should've known were coming...I think he knows the heat is on, big time.

I like his son a lot more than I like him. Clearly he can get obnoxious with his hyperbole, but you are right in that he has nailed some takes this season. I can take him better in small doses.

I think the Walton situation is going to be the one that nails him, if any. The Payne-Appling one looks bad, but I think he'll have plausible deniability because no charges were brought.
 
The OTL reports and investigation has definitely shown this culture of denial extends well past Larry Nassar and into the whole athletic dept. The Walton issue is inexcusable. Adreian Payne and Keith Appling more suppression and horrible decisions. MSU needs to clean house with Izzo and Coach D. ASAP. Nothing good with dragging this out.

Payne and Appling accusations were suppressed? Wow, link?

It’s my understanding they were investigated by MSUPD and ELPD and it was turned over to the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office.

Who suppressed it? They were unsuccessful at best.

I want more info on Walton and an investigation for sure. Any wrong doing and he should resign on his own accord or potentially be fired if not.

I’ve seen you post a ton about Izzo. Do you have some inside knowledge or anything? As an alum, I want justice served no matter the end result of the investigation.
 
No, I have no inside information. Just stuck at home recovering from a surgery and reading a lot of news and reports. My opinion is that both Coach D. and Izzo need to go to clean house at MSU. You don’t have to agree with it. That’s fine. I’ve got no personal issue with either, in fact as a big OSU fan I have always liked Coach D.
 
I agree. Purdue showed a ton of poise today. Great example was late in the game, and Purdue up 65-64. Haas was immediately doubled, and in a bad spot. Initially missed Edwards on a cut. But he didn't panic. Didn't rush. Just dribbled out, made a great pass, and you guys got a lay-up. Huge play.

We had our opportunities. But man we just cannot shoot. Honestly feel if we had anyone capable of being a consistent shooter, we would be a much, much different team. I mean we missed a ton of open looks.
Once again, latge game execution, or lack there of, was our demise. Final three minutes we had two tunovers and took two terrible shots. All by our senior guards. Just frustrating.

ANyways....Good game. Very good team.
Robert Johnson hit some incredibly tough shots today. Newkirk has been a major disappointment don't you think?

Its an absolute slap in the face of the victims and survivors that Izzo is treating this as hes a victim as well.

His refusal to punish his players and coaches when they raped and were violent towards women is part of what fostered this environment in the first place.


He absolute needs to step down and resign or be forced out sooner rather than later, along with everyone associated with MSU athletics with basketball and football

Complete lies you guys are spreading. Pathetic on your part.

Appling and Payne were cleared by police, the DAs office, and TitleIX investigation. Practice hadn't even started yet when they were accused. The victim said she was fine with no charges being filed. If you want every black athlete in college who has doubled up on a girld to leave school, then we'd have no collegiate basketball or football.

This is all public knowledge and has been for 8 years.

Tell me exactly how Izzo suppressed anything? Oh wait, you can't you jackass.

The only 4 players ever under Dantonio to be charged with sexual assault, last year, were suspended, investigated, and kicked off the team.

Your butthurt witch hunt is sad.

Also, how does a coach even go about 'suppressing' evidence? You think Dantonio and Izzo were out there hunting down the accusers and intimidating them? That's the only way I know how accusers are 'suppressed.'
 
Was out and about all weekend. Good game Purdue folks. Thought IU played pretty well. Unfortunately just couldn't quite finish it off.

Another tough one on Tuesday.
 
Educate yourselves. Pathetic to believe in lies that can be easily debunked. This article is also from 2010 you slapdicks. It's been public knowledge for 8 years.

https://www.mlive.com/spartans/index.ssf/2010/09/report_two_michigan_state_bask.html

Here is a key excerpt:

Dunnings (the DA) said the police report and other documents were reviewed by at least two assistant prosecutors, including Debra Rousseau Bouck, who evaluates all criminal sexual conduct cases for Ingham County.

Bouck reviewed "the entire transcript of the victim's statement, not just the snippets in the police report," Dunnings said, before interviewing the alleged victim two days after the incident.

"Miss Bouck asked her the same questions she could expect to be asked while on the witness stand," Dunnings said. "After that, Miss Bouck told the victim she wanted to do one more interview and, after completing that interview, she called and told the victim there would be no arrest warrant."

That second interview, Dunnings said, was conducted by police with a suite mate who was in his dorm room throughout the incident. The two rooms are separated by a shared bathroom. The suite mate said he heard what sounded like people engaged in sex but no struggling or protests.

The accuser was offered the opportunity to meet again with prosecutors for reconsideration but declined, Dunnings said.
The prosecutor said he consulted with Bouck for a review of her findings.

"I asked what was decided, why it was decided and what the victim thinks about it," Dunnings said. "That's what I always do. Miss Bouck indicated there would be no charges, and the victim didn't have a problem with it.

I agree with you. My point on Phinisee is that he is a better pg and scorer, right now, than Newkirk and returning guards Greene and Durham. Next year I expect Phinisee to be a competent pg, and a better pg than Durham and Greene.
 
As a Spartan fan I would be scared too but obviously something's wrong here or it wouldn't be on ESPN it wouldn't be on other TV channels either. So something ain't right about the whole situation or it wouldn't be talked about. And that's all I got to say.


Look, with the Nasser thing, it's convenient timing to go after MSU and get clicks. Make connections that don't exist because scandal sells.

I also like how you didn't respond to my post that called out your lies.

MSU will be investigated, but nothing will happen to Izzo or Dantonio unless you believe there were secret incidents in which they knew of a crime and sat on the info, which there is no reason to believe right now. Especially considering last year Dantonio immediately reported and suspended every played accused of assault.

What ESPN has been doing to MSU and Izzo the last few days is disgusting. Trying to draw new conclusions by re packaging old news that was already investigated and made public is pathetic journalism.
 
I feel like I'm getting punkd with this spread, but I'm gonna go ahead and take a stab at it anyway.

My bet tonight, brohans:

Nebraska +4

I got Nebraska +3 and took it. I think they'll win that game.

Also took Kansas -2 at KSU, and Northwestern -9 at Michigan.
