Expect an emergency meeting with the MSU Boatd of Trustees to approve Luke Fickell as MSU's new football coach.....perhaps as soon as Monday or Tuesday. He will get a 5 year contract for somewhere between 25 and 30 million bucks. Bank on it

- John Smoltz during game 7 on Fox: "I pitched a hundred game 7's with a rubber ball and a brick wall in Lansing, Michigan"
- This stuff about Izzo being too rough on his players and on Aaron Henry today is why I basically stay off twitter. Society is SOFT. ACCOUNTABILITY is EVERYTHING! Gimme a break. We got paddled when we were kids...and I got my mouth washed out with soap. We are better for it
- Got the stunning phone call this morning about the passing of my former colleague at WDIV, Fred McLeod. I always prided myself in out working everybody. I met my match with Freddy Mac. RIP good man!
- The Williamston Basketball family and community mourning the loss of former coach Jason Bauer....who lost his 2-year battle with cancer tonight. Good coach....better man. Glad I knew him. RIP my friend
- Neon lime green uniforms for the MSU spring game Yuck! Your colors are green and white. Just wear it! Be your tradition. Be who you are!
- When Lloyd Carr left UM...I said to his naysayers.."you will not witness an era of football in Ann Arbor that good anytime soon.' I say the same thing to all the people who want to throw dirt on Dantonio. Many MSU fans won't live long enough to see another 13 years like he had
- Gee...I wonder what Jim Harbaugh is going to tweet out to Mark Dantonio tonight?????
- COOL TRIBUTE BY TOM IZZO TONIGHT....COACHING IN THE SAME COLOR GREEN COAT HIS MENTOR JUD HEATHCOTE COACHED IN.....AND STARTING THE GAME PLAYING ZONE DEFENSE...SOMETHING JUD ALWAYS WANTED HIM TO DO
- Great comeback by MSU. Glad to see the classier program won. Hated all that trash-talking and non handshaking by Baylor. Classless
- I need the FBI to look into why idiots walk into schools and shoot innocent kids..NOT whether college basketball players get paid! JEEZ!
- I have a broken heart. Every time I walked into a gym at Holt HS or at LCC or a summer pickup game Paul Crosby would holler out " Uncle Fred...you da man" No...you were Paul. RIP good man
- Doesn't look like it's the Wolverines' night but I've thought a lot this week about the late great U of M Baseball sports information man, Jim Schneider. He is smiling ear to ear somewhere up there...keeping score....and I wish he was there in Omaha. RIP
- When the Detroit Lions honored Lansing Catholic coach Jim Ahern as high school coach of the year today....he got added perks--a trip to the Pro Bowl AND Super Bowl tickets! Now that's a good day. Only wish he had actually COACHED the Lions!
