I was at the Big Brothers/Big Sisters dinner in Ft. Wayne the other night with my "Little Brother" who is a 3rd Grader in Coldwater. He spent a lot of time with the kids asking about how school was, homework, how they were treating their moms, etc. Classic Izzo ! There were quite a few MSU Alumni like me that were there. People do not always realize what a treasure we have in Izzo and what an incredible ambassador he is for MSU.

He had the media and the 350+ in attendance listening to his every word. He was very supporative of all D1 coaches in Indiana and spoke at length about each, sprinkled in a lot of Bobby Knight stories

and made special note of Fife and IPFW. Izzo was complemented by many for supporting Fife by agreeing to play the return visit in Ft. Wayne this fall. Most schools at our level would not do this..... Got a chance to have a side discussion with him, he's very excited about

and said that Suzy and the MSU Ladies BBall will be fine.
It was a good day to be a Spartan

(as is every day....)
