(Deep breath) Congrats to the Spartans of Michigan State University for making it to Ford Field and the Final Four. I wish I could say that I will be cheering for you (and the Big Ten) -- but my mother told me to never lie. May your basketball season meet the same fate as Sparta's own King Leonidas at Thermopylae.Thanks to our very own ohio_guy for pointing out this incredible image of Sparty basketball coach Tom Izzo. There really was no other choice than to host a Detroit / Final Four caption contest once we saw it. There are 64 Spawn Points on the line for the winning entry, as decided by T9.
My entry: Damnit Magic !!! I said get off of the court. Your time is up.

"We are Sparty!"
I am NOT the little brother! I am NOT! I am NOT! I am NOT!
Just gotta say Andy, weren't you rooting for OSU football during bowl season, but you can't root for Sparty in basketball? I'm not saying I'm pulling for them with any emotional weight, but sheesh, I hate ohio, especially their football, like I could never care that much about little bro b-ball. BTW, that question is directed to all those who rooted for OSU football during the bowl season. Just a little puzzled (think puppy dog when it tilts it's head).
For my entry I channel Arnold, Sylvester and Jean Claude,
"I WILL BREAK YOU!!!!!!!"
For a second entry I channel the only international channel other than news in English as I tour Europe. Tom Izzo knows it's all about,
"FLAVA FLAV!"
Alright, just one more. Seeing his face strikingly reminds me of the moment in Dances With Wolves when the insane Major says, "Are you deaf?"
Entry:
"I SAID I'LL HAVE MY CROWN RIGHT NOW!!!"
I have to root for Sparty. I picked them to go to the Final 2 (but lose). If that happens and Villanova goes to the Championship, I have a shot at 200 bucks as long as I picked right on final points....
"Oooooowwwwwww! Damn! What a burrito."
HULK SMASH!
Mr. Referee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. I get really nasty and turn green.
"GAHHH! I SAID NO TOMOATOES...AND WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY EXTRA PICKLES!"
Shorty:
Let me explain my “Go UConn” logic. It works for me. I don’t expect anyone else to drink from my particular brand of “hater-ade”.
1)I won't ever root for Sparty specifically because of a single foul mouthed MSU student I encountered last fall while we were walking out of Michigan Stadium last fall. I make it a point to NEVER say anything to people talking trash after the games are over, but in this case -- I couldn’t help myself. He was such an ass that I have vowed to never ever watch a Spartan game with a neutral heart.
2) Tom Izzo made the boiler-plate verbiage for the Deal the Devil made Jim Tressel in Decemeber 2000.
3) I can not deny that I loath the Buckeye football program. But after 5 losses in a row to them – I have a healthy level of respect for what they have going.
4) Ohio State was playing Texas in their Bowl game. I live in Austin and the pain I endure from overbearing/obnoxious longhorn fans on a daily basis exceeds the sting another buckeye bowl win would have delivered.
Going to quote one of my all time favorite movies....I want a party with roomfuls of laughter, Ten thousand tons of ice cream, And if I don't get the things I am after, I'm going to ScreeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEAM. And a pic to go along with it, http://christianranter.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/veruca_salt.jpg
I said "Decaf"!
"The one damn year we're in the Final Four, it's held in Detroit! Ughhhhhhhhh!"
"YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!"
Hi I'm Tom Izzo. For years, I battled with irritable bowel syndrome. As a college basketball coach who spends countless hours on the hardwood and long nights on the road, I know what it's like to get those feelings of desperation when there is no bathroom in sight or in the immediate future. That's why I started using Fibercon. Just have a look: Here's me before I began using Fibercon. I'm irritable, uncomfortable, and can only think about one thing: crapping my brains out. In fact, I attribute my team's first-round bow outs to inferior opponents in 2004 and 2006 to my persistent irregularity. Now just look at me! Final Four baby! So if you suffer from IBS, or know someone who does, I recommend Fibercon.
"Damn! It's cold in Iron Mountain!"
No matter how hard he tried, Tom Izzo's Godzilla imitation still came up a bit short. No fire.
RAAAAAGGGGHHHH
"You are not the contents of your wallet. You are not the car you drive. We are the same decaying organic matter as everything else." "I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
Sorry read and watched Fight Club again recently and it just seemed appropriate.
I HATE it when my head spins! Someone get me the damned exorcist, NOW!!
T9.... He is not trying to be Godzilla. It is obvious he is the Hulk.
Funny thing about blind people. They find the damndest things to amuse themselves. They sometimes listen in on cordles phone calls in the east lansing area. Time was you could hear Tom Izzo! Time was he had feelings for Jud. They weren't nice. F*** off and die you Sh*thead.
