Izzo Scares Me


Whenever I watch the MSU Spartans play basketball, I find myself much more concerned with Tom Izzo's health than with the outcome of the game. The vein in his forehead is becoming much more prominent lately, jutting out whenever he lambasts his players as if its just as mad as he is. If I had to answer to that bright red face every time I missed a finger roll, I would never miss any finger rolls.

Tom Izzo gets so mad sometimes, I legitimately get scared of him through my TV. Even though I can't hear what he's screaming, the unbridled rage he expresses through his facial expressions is enough to make me steer clear of the Izzone for life. I don't want to be under that guy's jurisdiction.

But the Spartans are in the Sweet Sixteen again, so I guess I can't knock the guy for having a winning team. I wonder what kinds of things he must be saying to his players to make them play so well...

"I should have recruited your sister over you."

"Even Sparty hates you right now."

"Miss this free throw, and you die."

"I will eat your unborn children if you travel one more time."

"You guys look like U of M."

Inspiring.
