    “We’ve never been excited about making it to Sweet 16s,” Green said earlier this week. “It’s just one of those bumps that you have to go through in order to make it to the final destination.”

  4. "You can’t win much without your quarterback playing well. You can act like Day-Day can cover the world, but Keith’s got his hands on the ball a lot more than Day-Day does. Your quarterback’s got to play well and he’s usually got to defend some of the best people. And you look ahead to next week, if our quarterback isn’t playing well, they’re gonna press us right off the floor, you know? And that (Peyton) Siva, that kid is quicker than greased lightning. So Keith, it’s very important, and it’s very important that Travis (Trice) gets better. I just thought our freshmen took some hits tonight, and yet that’s gonna make them better for next week. They’re gonna understand what being in a fistfight is, because that was a fistfight."

  5. "It requires players understanding that how they’re being challenged isn’t personal but, rather, productive. And it also requires me not minding when people say that Day-Day has become a second coach with how he pushes his teammates. I don’t mind."

  7. "I was just trying to fight, man, you know,” Painter said. “I think they’re great, I think the Izzone’s great, but if they’re gonna say, ‘I hope you tear your ACL again,’ I’m gonna say something. He doesn’t deserve that. And we’ve got guys in our student section that probably say things that are out of line, too, but when I’m right on top of it, I’m just not taking it. He hears that, someone’s got to fight for him."

  8. The "Hungry Packer": Why you shouldn't give up on the Spartans.

    A very detailed and reasoned argument for hope in East Lansing.

    hungrypacker:

    I understand, and accept, the reality that no matter what I say about Michigan State University the word “bias” will always be attached. I am always in favor of MSU and that will always impact the prejudice I have. Nevertheless, a true sports fan must put “bias” in the trash can - no matter what…

  9. Vid of Izzo and Roy talking about Carrier Classic unis.

    By the way, if you’re getting tired of Carrier Classic stuff here at ol’ STF, shut yer pie-hole and call me in the morning (after I post the Breakfast of Champions).
