Will, I know what you mean. Good thing there will be 2 –good– games every week when B10 play starts!

Boht, yeah I vividly remember that first round BT loss. It was to MN, a team we had beat by 20 home and away. I think it was the lowlight of the past 10 years!

Thanks for the recap of the Amaker era Giddings; I’d forgotten some of the hight points. Unfortunately for Tommy, two steps forward was always followed by two steps back.

For me, it’s all been a blur since dumbass Mo Taylor rolled his Explorer on M-14 thirteen years ago this winter – all in an effort to show Mateen Cleeves a good time!

I remember a few years back when M was 16-4 and looked like a lock for the dance. Losing 7 of 9 and a first round BT tournament game changed that. Let’s see how the Big Ten games go before setting impossible expectations for this team (I’ve heard talk of us getting a 4 seed). This team is good and has us all thinking ncaa tourney but don’t get disappointed if they end up in the NIT. A few months ago the NIT was seen as the next building block.

Maybe im just blinded but I see zero comparisons here! The fact is Amaker teams had no plan on the court, they just dribbled and passed the ball around until something opened up or until the shot clock expired(pretty often), or until Chris Hunter decided to take 3 steps before bothering to dribble. The games were brutal to watch, with 20 turnovers in a game not that uncommon. There was literally almost no improvement/development of players from year to year and in fact many seemed to regress? People relax, coach B is one of the best coaches in the country its that simple. 24 assists to 5 turnovers last game out, I guarantee you that never happened with an Amaker team. I understand the the concern of possibly folding up like those teams did in the past but im here to tell you all, its not going to happen. Theres one reason why, Coaching!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will – I don’t think there will be any kind of official online feed b/c of Fox Sports televising the game. However your best bet is probably http://www.justin.tv/timmex and trying to get a hold of him. He’s an MSU guy, but he’s probably the best bet.

I can not explain how slow this week is going for me… I all I have to do is sit here and wait for the game saturday. I am out of school and in tampa where I know nobody. Saturday couldn’t get here fast enough. Either could Monday night when I will hopefully be able to watch it clear on BTN.com.
