I agree with you though Dave that we shouldn't just assume a title is destined for us. Let's face it... you need a little luck on your side to win one sometimes. Our 2000 team was championship worthy but what if Kenyon Martin hadn't broken his ankle late that year? You can make a valid argument that Cincinnati was a better team than we were that year with a healthy Martin in place. Now, the fact that the regional final and Final Four 4 are both in Ford Field the next two years just might be the kind of luck that when mixed with our talent will spell championship. It'll be fun to see how it plays out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-79016452283935476362007-06-30T16:40:00.000-04:002007-06-30T16:40:00.000-04:00I don't know what Izzo's future holds, but I'd bet...I don't know what Izzo's future holds, but I'd bet my milk money he's around at least the next two years. If Michigan State wins a title in '09 at Ford Field, it wouldn't totally surprise me if he walked away, but the question is to what? TV is there for him whenever he wants. If Mark Hollis is in place as most suspect he won't be the next AD. The NBA might be there, but there's a few other college coaches I think the league would look at first.<BR/><BR/>As for Michigan and new coach John Beilein, I think the Wolverines will be back in the tourney again in a few years, but basketball is not a high enough priority for the school to surpass MSU for a sustained period of time. I don't suspect that will change so long as Izzo is a Spartan.Paula Paschehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351975379759661261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-22329242168952475462007-06-29T17:07:00.000-04:002007-06-29T17:07:00.000-04:00Izzo will leave before the Sparties win another ti...Izzo will leave before the Sparties win another title.
