Izzo Upset With The Izzone
Once again, I respect MSU and Izzo for stuff like this. I love the way they play and of all the programs in college basketball, they are the one that causes me the most envy.

We still got pasted. Let's not get distracted by off the court ignorance.

The Paint Crew says stupid stuff too. Complaining about a fan section after a 25-point loss really is extremely trivial

I don't understand the reasoning of heckling..
when you are completely shellacking the other team. Not that I approve of heckling at all, but when you’re a top 10 team handing it to a nonranked team, isn’t that a bit ridiculous to be taunting players? Student sections everywhere say stupid things, but it’s usually because the other teams players are showboating or just being jerks.

no sometimes people are just stupid
but there isn’t any reason to highlight this in a blowout game. I admire Painter for fighting for his kids, but no one needs to make a big deal out of someone saying something stupid at a basketball game

Addressing it immediately is making a big deal
But I think it’s important to do so it does not become a big deal later. Izzo wants to make sure once is more than enough.
Student sections can and should be clever. But there is a line.

Dang it Izzo
Will you please stop saying things that make me like you more. Aside from CMP I don’t think there is a coach in the league that I like more than him right now…

Agreed....but goddamn it can't he recruit somewhere else for a while?

You wouldn't feel the same....
If you knew what happened with the Dawson recruitment. And this doesn’t help either.
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
I feel like the Izzone thing would have easily been ignored had everyone gotten enough sleep.
It’s easy to get very upset over normally ignore-able things when you’re running on very little sleep though.
"Hummel for three..... BULLSEYE!!!"
"I could give a crap what the Izzone says"
Robbie Hummel forever!
Why would they want Hummel out of the game with an injury?
He was 0-11, figured they would want him out there more!
Guys = It's an ACT!
Izzo isn’t going to do anything, unless it is lipservice. If we think he’s a cheater, why would you respect him? Face it, u guys have been wrong about MSU and Izzo. They’re trash.

Respect Izzo and MSU for.....
-hiring away Dane Fife after he already begun working on Purdue’s staff?
-using that hire of Fife to get Brandon Wood?
-buying Brandon Dawson through paying for unofficial visits and doing financial favors for his handlers?
-sweeping the rapes by Appling and Payne under the rug?
There is a stench coming from East Lansing
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
Do you honestly believe all this stuff..
or are you just one of those 13 year old internet trolls trying to be cool and edgy?
Speaking of trolls...

Fife was working on Purdue’s staff? Link please.

How about a link for any of those items
This guy’s awesome.

IPFW =
Indiana-Purdue Ft. Wayne. Does that count as on Purdue’s staff? That’s kind of in the extended family.
by MSUDersh on Jan 22, 2012 3:00 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Wait he also played at
And coached for Indiana, Purdue’s arch-rival. Maybe he meant Dane’s brother Dugan? He went to U-M, not sure what he did post-playing career, perhaps he was involved with Purdue.
by MSUDersh on Jan 22, 2012 3:05 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
Yes, a link, that's a good one.....
Fife took the Purdue job, reported to West Lafayette, and was on Painter’s staff for a couple weeks. He attended player development meetings, recruiting strategy meetings, and had full, 100% access to all things Purdue Basketball during that time. Then he promptly bolted for East Lansing, taking all his Purdue insider info with him. If somebody wanted to connect the dots, Purdue was also talking to Brandon Wood at about the same time.
This was a big reason for Painter pursuing higher salaries for assistant coaches. Behold the power of Tom Izzo.
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
What are you smoking?
Fife was never hired by Purdue. Where on earth do you get your info?
There was an article written on April 15th on Boiled Sports and the Ft Wayne paper saying that Fife was a candidate for the assitant job at Purdue. Then Fife was announced as a coach for MSU by April 20th.
You want us to believe that he was at Purdue for a couple of weeks in meetings?
Verbal agreement with Painter, hadn't signed a contract yet
But was operating as part of the staff before Izzo hired him away. Writers at goldandblack.com said Fife to Purdue was a done deal during this period of time. Then Izzo swooped in.
You want us to believe that he was at Purdue for a couple of weeks in meetings?
yes.
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
So...you stated
that Fife was opearting as part of the staff for a full week and half prior to the article written in the Ft Wayne paper? Sorry, not buying that at all.
That is some nice lip service from Izzo. At the end of the day, that guy is all about winning and he will do whatever it takes to win. He is a compassionate person to a degree but he is all about getting the W’s.
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
Who are you?
Izzo’s shrink? His barber? How do have all this insight into Izzo’s motivations, etc, etc?
Sounds like you know him pretty well.

Watch the press conference...
Izzo alludes to the fact that he told Dawson not to say anything to Painter. Izzo knows that there is bad blood between he and Painter, and Painter and Dawson. Why? Because Izzo knows Painter knows, and Dawson hates “snitches”.
This, and the lack of punishment of Dawson and the Izzone, tells us all we need to know about them.
It's so confusing to me
Purdue seems to have some of the coolest fans ever, and at the same time there are people like this who buy into all the conspiracy theory in the world. I don’t think you’re going to get much traction with anyone until you have evidence, a source, or ANYTHING beyond hearsay from your buddies.
by StickyGreen on Jan 23, 2012 10:33 AM EST up reply actions
Not conspiracy theories
When the same story is corroborated by many people in the AAU arena, folks close to the IU program, folks close to the Purdue program, and writers at goldandblack.com.
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
Why is that
there is this question being asked right now over on GBI, and none of the posters over there agree with this conspiracy theory..
“Urban Legend” is one description that was used by a Purdue poster.
You are reading that thread wrong
BoilerBF is saying that with so many people (with nothing to gain by sharing) corroborating a consistent story, its hard to believe its a fictional conspiracy theory.
If you are a member of GBI, read the threads entitled, "Some thoughts on routines, MSU, Dawson, and recruiting (long)" and "can anyone explain what went down with fife?"
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
And I'm speaking about the Knucklehead Central premium board
Not sure what kind of crap is on the free boards.
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
Uhhh....ok
Could you let me know who really shot Kennedy while you are at it?
Just wanted to chime in here
If that stuff was really said by someone in the Izzone, and it appears that it was, it’s a pathetic excuse for fanhood and that person should be removed. The Izzone has taken quite a tumble in quality over the past few years, in my opinion, and this just makes me irate and embarrassed. Hummel’s been nothing but a great player with a great attitude and this kind of crap, whether it’s the injuries or the comments after are simply unjustified.
Tonight's going to be a good night.

we appreciate the sentiment.
and recognize that most of your fan base is rational. but we still hate us some bad apples, as do you.

Has Izzo compromised?
“If that stuff was really said by someone in the Izzone, and it appears that it was, it’s a pathetic excuse for fanhood and that person should be removed.”
Agreed, if John Sautter is still the team host at Purdue, he would call and usher and have the Purdue student or fan removed for a similar commnent.
The fact that nothing was done to that student or to Dawson when he talked trash to Coach Painter reveals Izzo’s true colors. Talk is cheap; let’s see if Izzo will actually punish a player who could reveal violations regarding his recruitment.
A minor detail

You’re assuming Izzo had 100% real-time knowledge of every exchange between every single player and coach and member of the student section. If something went on or was said that was truly inappropriate, and that can be reasonably identified, it will be dealt with.

Izzo won't do squat.
He’s without class and runs a questionable program.
by GeorgiaBoiler on Jan 22, 2012 4:01 PM EST up reply actions 1 recs
It's pretty unlikely that Izzo even knew it was going on.
The refs clearly didn’t hear the exchange between Painter and Dawson, and they were closer than Izzo was.

Travis,
Venture over to GBI and read the threads entitled, “Some thoughts on routines, MSU, Dawson, and recruiting (long)” and “can anyone explain what went down with fife?” It will change your mind about Izzo.
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
I'm sure Travis
is more aware of the truth than nameless fools who posts on GBI.
Never have figured out everyone's lovefest with Izzo
Who cares what the students said though, we all do it.
Still not gonna love up Izzo because of his greatness.

By "nameless fools"
Do you mean folks with AAU connections and folks close to the Purdue program?
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
GBI
Why are you involving the Georgia Bureau of Investigations in this? Must be part of the grand conspiracy . . .

I know it was something like that
I was just trying to point out the absurdity of using a message board similar to this one as any type of source, much less a primary source, of that type of info.
BTW, I found the Rivals Purdue site, and this was the first thing I could find there about this matter:
To the MSU fans stopping by:
-——————————————————————————————————————-
I can assure you that the handful of Purdue fans who have posted the anti-Izzo rhetoric on the board the last couple of days are significantly detached from the majority of Boilermaker followers.
To me, the true character of a man lies not in the adversity but to how he reacts to the adversity before him. To that end, Izzo has done nothing to dissuade my or many Boilermaker fans belief that he is a Hall of fame coach with a Hall of Fame pedigree and a man of high character.
Supposition regarding shady recruiting or rape accusations is just that, supposition. An angry opposing fan base is by nature going to slant toward believing the negative rather than reviewing the evidence and making an objective determination.
It’s just the way it is. Boiler Up and we look forward to our next meeting .
I like the vast majority of your fanbase. I work with a couple of Purdue alums that would bristle at what has been posted here lately by a select few. But like I said before, some people believe in, “He who screams loudest & longest must be right.”
"He who screams loudest & longest must be right."
IZZO SUCKS
Just kidding. Well, maybe.

LOL screaming that is fine
I expect there are plenty of fanbases that want to scream that! And believe me, the past two seasons, EL has been screaming the same about your squad (especially last season).
When I say GBI, I am referring to the Knucklehead Central premium board...
Where folks with sources close to AAU programs and college basketball programs are sharing what they know. I wouldn’t waste any time with the crap on the free boards.
Ever Grateful. Ever True.
Like the sources that have a name?
Oh….wait…..you mean they dont give names? Well there must be some way to validate their credibility, right? No? Ok.
