Izzo coverage

I never really believed Izzo was going to Cleveland. $3 million a year is plenty... Shakespeare nailed the media coverage in Macbeth:

...but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Tom Izzo job rumors

I'm sure you've heard the rumors about Tom Izzo (UP Power!) is about to be offered truck loads of money to take the Oregon job. WDFN is talking about how they don;t think he would leave for another college job, only for the NBA. Ermani is creating a Rube Goldberg scenario where Phil Jackson leaves the Lakers to take the NJ Nets job - since they'll sign LeBron James. This leaves the Lakers job open for Izzo.

While I think nothing would help the M basketball program more than an Izzoless MSU. I would be disappointed if he left MSU for another job. Stay true to your roots Tommy - It's "Go Green" not "Go for the green!"
