I could see where that kind of behavior would go along with some of the faces used to make and some of the things he done on the sideline.

Eddie Sutton’s long lost brother ?

It’s hard to forget that guy when you worked with a Morehead grad who used to tell stories of how Fick lost his job because of drinking. Passing out in a restaurant and urinating yourself makes you kind of unforgettable.

Weird, had totally forgotten that name but instantly put a face with it as soon as I read it and with no surprise a gameface. lol

Sometimes you make me think that you must have a photographic memory capable of instantaneous recall.

Great point re: CZ’s play in East Lansing last year. Not only was it a tough atmosphere being on the road, but also his first B1G game.

Night and day come 2/19/12.

No one will ever top ol’ Dick Fick at Morehead St. back around ’90.

Part of his charm:) If I was a ref when doing an Izzo-Bo match up..I’d wear earplugs and carry a box of tissues to handout…:)

* MSt may not even be in the top 3 or 4 of the conference at the start of the season, and may still not even be in the top 3 at the beginning of the conference schedule, but if past precedence tells us anything it’s that Izzo will have them pretty much hitting on all cylinders towards the end of the season. Once they adjust to not having Green, Harris gets used to the overall speed of the college game and Dawson’s knee is fully recovered I fully expect them to be the toughest nonHoosier team in the B1G.

* Winning a game in their house is one of the few items still left to be checked off the ” have fully made it back ” list. It will also be interesting to see how CZ plays there after the game he had there last year.

Our game in East Lansing should be one of the most difficult of the year. But in the end, I think we are at least equal talent wise, and I think we win with experience (as in C-Wat, Cody, and Jordan have experience leading the team; no one for the Spartans does) and depth.

Interesting you bring up Green and Taylor in the same post. Two guys that absolutely killed the Hoosiers over the last 3 years. Whenever they needed a shot, they drained a 3. Good-bye to you two forever!

Also one of the top 3 whiners of all-time. Guys like Izzo and Bo should watch one of their games once in a while and see how pathetic they look when they are on the brink of tears. Seriously.

I can recall dozens of “huge” shots that guy made in crunch time and saved MSU’s butt. I hope IU makes Harris regret his decision to go to MSU. It will be a tough game in East Lansing, but I think Cody will be too much for them and IU will FINALLY win there…..Can’t wait!

Sparties will get better as the year progresses and somebody will step up when needed..its just the MSU way under TZ.

His numbers were incredible. He had the best total rebound percentage in the league, and his assist percentage was better than a lot of point guards, and about the same as Jordan Taylor’s.
