Big Ten punishment for tunnel incident draws Tom Izzo's ire: 'I'm not happy with it'
IS THIS GUY A DICK OR NOT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Instead of accepting responsibility, he questions the validity of the BIG 10 Conference jurisdiction and every university within the conference.
YOU MAD BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I'm completely upset about it, to get $100,000 fine,” the Hall of Fame coach said Monday evening. “The suspension of a player is fine, but to get a fine like that and then the other school gets reprimanded. What the hell is reprimanded? I am completely upset by what our players did, as Mel was. I would think that administratively (Michigan) should be upset in how the tunnel was handled and how those players ran in there. As I said before, ‘What starts bad, ends bad.’”
“It disgusts me that it happened, but it really disgusts me, too, that it wasn't handled better on the front end......" Maybe like ignoring the entire event?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A little man who perfectly epitomizes his little brother fan base
November 28th, 2022 at 8:18 PM ^
I hope his statue is 2/3 scale. Nevermind, life size will do and make the same point.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:27 PM ^
Honor him with an annual Izzo toss event.
November 29th, 2022 at 8:17 AM ^
I think he's angry because they outlawed this retirement source of income he envisioned to fall back on. Miles Finch.
November 28th, 2022 at 9:34 PM ^
If he's not Happy, which one is he?
November 28th, 2022 at 10:37 PM ^
Dopey. Gotta be Dopey.
November 28th, 2022 at 10:39 PM ^
Nope.... Always Grumpy..... just ask some of his players.....
November 28th, 2022 at 8:13 PM ^
phony scumbag.
so ironic that his fanbase places him on some high morality pedestal.
November 29th, 2022 at 4:47 AM ^
It's not surprising. When your followers are idiots, it's not hard to make them believe whatever you want.
November 29th, 2022 at 12:42 PM ^
Great crossover comment for politics in this country.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:13 PM ^
Tom Izzo should be treated for whatever his deal is by being forced to sit in a chair and wear special glasses that play the post game tunnel walk video from the Michigan vs. Penn State game this year on repeat for like 6 months. His own words are escalatory, and they have no place in this topic.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:15 PM ^
Tom Izzo. Known supporter of rapists.
Nothing to see here.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:37 PM ^
That's all BSPN lies. /s
November 28th, 2022 at 8:16 PM ^
The Michigan complex of our rivals is growing exponentially.
It sure is great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
November 28th, 2022 at 8:17 PM ^
Didn’t he grab Gabe Brown in a tunnel? No wonder why he thinks it should be down played.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:17 PM ^
Hey Tom!!! The school that only got a reprimand didn't have a player beat someone with a helmet. How difficult is this to understand?
November 28th, 2022 at 8:18 PM ^
Fuck Izzo.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:20 PM ^
Nope, I sure as hell don't care what Izzo thinks about this. At all.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:20 PM ^
I agree with Izzo.
Why did Michigan get reprimanded?
November 28th, 2022 at 9:20 PM ^
This is the logical equivalent of reprimanding some poor woman for getting sexually assaulted: “Dear Ms Smith, you are being reprimanded for wearing a skirt so stop that right now you little tart.”
November 28th, 2022 at 11:13 PM ^
Already said below, but the reprimand was about the idiot UM fan who touched MeLLLLLLL’s head as he was walking off the field. The AD also already banned the guy from future games
November 28th, 2022 at 9:48 PM ^
For the idiot who touched Tucker's head. Who has since been banned from Michigan Stadium.
November 28th, 2022 at 9:51 PM ^
The guy that touched Mel Tucker's head is lucky he didn't get his ass kicked and deserved to get banned.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:24 PM ^
Little did he know he was auditioning for Game of Thrones.
November 28th, 2022 at 9:46 PM ^
He must be a south pole elf
November 28th, 2022 at 10:04 PM ^
That's it. You won.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:22 PM ^
Don't assault people. It's that simple, Izzo.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:23 PM ^
Here is a complete list of everything I care less about than tiny tom’s opinion of msu football players assaulting people:
nothing. Literally, there is nothing of any less value to me or the universe in general than his opinion on that topic. He can take his tiny tin foil hat and shove it. Or he can find Kevin Warren’s son on campus and ask him why his dad is so mean to innocent little brother. Also, classic izzo response. “I’m not gonna sit here and make excuses, but here are my excuses…”.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:23 PM ^
I fart in the Big Ten's & Izzo's general direction.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:36 PM ^
i unclutter my nose at you, tiny man!
November 28th, 2022 at 9:25 PM ^
“now go away, or i shall t…” oh, never mind. he’s not worth the effort.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:23 PM ^
If Izzo was happy, I sure as hell wouldn't be.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:24 PM ^
These idiots just can’t stop digging.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:25 PM ^
assholes keep assholing.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:25 PM ^
The Big10 decision upset me too. WTF did UM get a reprimand for?
November 28th, 2022 at 11:20 PM ^
Exactly. Everyone should be blamed is the default position of B1G, especially if it involves UM. Nothing changes around here with regards to how UM gets treated. Hope the lawyers involved do the right thing by the victims.
As far as Izzo is concerned, he is an asshole just like Dantonio. At least Tucker said the right thing in public.
Edit: UM clarified that the reprimand is for fan touching Tucker's head. B1G is just bad at putting out statements. Anyway, Izzo is still a douchebag ignoring the injury that player could have caused. He thinks he is above everyone in MSU and as a leader he has always taken the wrong position and nothing new now.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:26 PM ^
Holy shit, what a self-righteous loser.
“But I'm not happy with it. I just found out about it, but it doesn't surprise me. Been here a lot of years, been through a lot of things. I watched it happen to (Mark) Dantonio when they went after our Spartan head.”
The incident with Dantonio, the former Michigan State football coach, came before the 2018 game at Spartan Stadium when the Spartans’ walk across the field led to an altercation with Michigan players, including Devin Bush. Bush then proceeded to dig his cleats into the turf at midfield, tearing up the MSU logo. The Big Ten responded by reprimanding Dantonio, Bush and Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh while fining Michigan State $10,000.
It all adds up, Izzo said, to make him feel the way he does.
“I'm a damn Michigan State guy and I do not condone anything that our student-athletes do wrong,” Izzo said. “And there was some things that were done wrong.
“Yeah, it sticks in my craw because I'm a Mel Tucker fan. I'm a Mark Dantonio fan. I'm a Michigan State fan. And I’m not standing back on that. I don't care if it’s the commissioner, whatever. I do not think that was right. So, my apology to my president, my AD if that upsets (them). This is totally Tom Izzo but Tom Izzo has been through a lot more than my AD and my president, too.”
November 28th, 2022 at 8:33 PM ^
Kicking the field turf and smashing someone over the head with a helmet...
yep, same thing tiny Tim. Been hanging with too many weird guys.
November 28th, 2022 at 9:49 PM ^
I am starting to think that is actually the issue. They literally do not see the difference.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:37 PM ^
Did he just go third person in reference to himself? Oy...
November 28th, 2022 at 8:49 PM ^
He does it all the time.
"Tom is gettin' upset!!"
November 28th, 2022 at 9:37 PM ^
If you're looking for an example of narcissism...
November 28th, 2022 at 8:27 PM ^
Travis Walton's victim isn't happy either.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:29 PM ^
The Det News could have made a simple executive decision that Tom Izzo had nothing the fuck to do with the tunnel incident, and that--as a far from disinterested party--his comments were not anymore welcome or interesting than yours or mine. Instead, they went for clicks. I can't think why.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:46 PM ^
Maybe the "strategic operational plan" (https://247sports.com/college/michigan-state/board/93/Contents/winning-the-war-against-u-of-m-198786956/?page=1) was implemented quickly.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:53 PM ^
The article was written by Izzo bootlicker Matt Charboneau -- the same guy who described the 4-on-1 stomp session as "scuffling." He's an MSU hack.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:31 PM ^
He hates Michigan more than Dantonio. Little man has a huge obsession with Michigan. He tries to hide that it's personal. Just like Dantonio he would run the score up on the horrible Ellerbe and Amaker teams. Both coaches need to be very thankful that they could take advantage of Michigan down years. Izzo was super lucky to get Mateen. Anyways I expect nothing less than the Mayor of East Lansing.
November 28th, 2022 at 8:35 PM ^
Was great when Beilein, the nicest guy imaginable, was just clowning his ass every year.
Izzo with his craptatic football on the basketball court shot chucking teams having circles run around them by Beileins skilled and efficient teams....glorious times.
