Arky Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 And just when I thought you were my bud Arky LOL! Hey, I sure ain't no guru. I remember when we won in '94, we pressured Duke & had an up-tempo style. I respect MSU's program but i'm rooting for UNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlton Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 1979 seems like yesterday. I was the guy that Magic and Kelser had to push through in order to be interviewed after games on WJIM. Also managed to snag some of the the television banners. Couldn't have them cluttering up Jenison. At that time we felt they were destined to win it all. We beat Digger Phelps Notre Dame team then (6 future NBA players) and he has not picked MSU since! We also had the 1979 National Champion Cheerleading Squad. Can't forget Deena Green. She sure looked good in a white sweater. 2000 was sweet. 2009 maybe sweeter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcarlton Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Can you believe this? EAST LANSING -- Michigan State guards Korie Lucious and Chris Allenwill both undergo surgery on Friday to repair broken bones sustained intheir right feet during Monday's national championship game againstNorth Carolina. It will take both players about eight weeks to recover, according to MSU basketball sports information director Matt Larson. The Spartans lost the game, 89-72, at Ford Field in Detroit, butLucious was one of the team's bright spots. As MSU struggled in thefirst half, Lucious made two of his three shots, all from 3-point range. Lucious was injured after the Spartans cut the Tar Heels' lead to 13points on a pair of Kalin Lucas free throws with 4:57 remaining. As North Carolina tried to inbound the ball, Lucious got tangled upwith Tar Heels guard Ty Lawson. Lucious was called for a foul, althoughit looked as though Lawson had flung him to the court. Lucious remainedon the floor for several minutes while being treated. Lawson made both free throws and MSU got no closer the rest of the way. It's not clear when Allen, who missed all eight of his field-goalattempts, including seven from 3-point range, was injured. He played 17minutes and came out of the game for the last time with 1:42 remaining. That stinks. No wonder we looked so bad for the first 20 minutes. BTW got a nice book about the 1979 game.
