Ceptorman Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Michigan almost pulled that off, they played extremely well, and Purdue played well also. The big guys for Purdue are fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Neil, any idea what sanctions MSU might be looking at? I saw where their President resigned. An ESPN reporter was speculating about them receiving a 5 year ban on any scholarships, starting in 2021, just slightly more than Penn State received.

EmilC Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 It may also extend to the football program. This is going to get worse before it gets better. I feel for the students at MSU. http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/22214566/pattern-denial-inaction-information-suppression-michigan-state-goes-larry-nassar-case-espn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davis Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 The Purdue kid with the sign Edwards and Edwards Attorneys at Ball was kinda cool. Speaking of signs, are they no longer allowed to have the giant faces and what not behind the backboard while the opposing team shoots free throws this year? I went to IU v. Purdue at Assembly Hall last year and sat in the lower section behind the backboard and there was one of those giant faces already waiting at my seat. Then at halftime they collected them all and took them to the other end of the arena. The other night I saw some team had a couple of spinning Hypno things that was way more distracting than a face. You think Isaac Hass looks big on TV. In person, Wow. Also one of the biggest flops I have seen was last night from the Michigan center.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantonio and Izzo might want be under the gun with these accusations. The domino effect might take effect here from the top down - sounds serious.

I've watched a few games this year and noticed those big face signs.....I think. Haas is an animal....7'2" and weighs 290. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve sent critical emails to President Simon and the Board of Trustees for months. It’s difficult to imagine a worse way to handle this from beginnng to end. But for the courage of Ms. Denhollander, the monster would still be on the loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieb Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 So Diz in today's environment, even with their on campus reputations, will Izzo and Dantonio be able to fend off the inevitable call for their heads? I watched a long piece on Sports Center this morning and I believe the Ms. you mentioned was the interviewers subject. She indeed painted rather bleak and systemic failures for both programs, football in particular. With the Pres. and AD gone there seems little to provide them cover particularly if the Feds become involved. Penn State all over - again?

DizRotus Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 In some ways worse than PSU; in other ways not as bad. We shall see if Izzo and Dantonio can survive this. It seems less and less likely each day more damning evidence comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I think this ordeal is way worse than the PSU coverup, but it is centered around one individual, where PSU had many people covering up what happened. I'm thinking Izzo and Dantonio will survive this and stay where they're at, if they want to stay. Their recruiting will probably suffer a lot though.

There was no coverup Izzo and Dantonio will be gone even if innocent. Anything to get the media spotlight off of MSU. They have already been convicted in the court of public opinion. I feel for the students who will have to deal with the taunts just like PSU students had and still have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 WVU vs Kentucky: The Good: WVU good enough to lead by 17 in the first half: The Bad: WVU bad enough to lose by 7, a 24 point turnaround in the second half. The Ugly: WVU has now lost 3 out of their last 4 games. Goodby #2 seed in the NCAA tourney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do what I can - And this a week after dominating KU only to loose in the second half - at home. Huggie Bear must be fit to be tied ?! They are a damn good team hitting a tough 4/5 loosing streak. They will be dangerous in every game - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's worse because there are a lot more athletes involved, and some much younger, one at the age of 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasubandu Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I was at Kansas the year they won the title(1987). After that we had the Glorious Roy Williams year until NC stole him. I am a casual fan now, but add another Jayhawk to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 MSU failed to learn from the PSU failures. MSU failed to identify and remove the evil. MSU failed in the way it handled the problem after the evil was exposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
