This is nice and awesome, and way less d-baggy than the other viral video that caught our eye tonight. Go Gary Brolsma! Way to be awesome, dude! source

Sports: Why MSU choked in the NCAA championship

I just don’t think we did the things we did all year. When you say that, you take away some credit from North Carolina, and I don’t want to do that. It was a combination of us and them, but we need to take some of the blame.
Michigan State coach Tom Izzo • On why their team, on a solid NCAA tournament run, faltered in the final game. Before last night, they were a feel-good story. • source

Sports: Magic Johnson on MSU making the big game, 30 years later

To have this school come in and do what it’s doing right now, to make everybody feel good and have something to cheer about instead of more bad news … Then, when you think about what it’s going to do for the economy, oh, my goodness.
MSU (and NBA) legend Magic Johnson • Talking about MSU making the championship game, 30 years after he faced Larry Bird in this game – and during a particularly tough time for the state’s economy, doing it locally (the Final Four was held in Detroit this season). We’re unashamed MSU fans and just devoted a ton of space to them. You got a problem with it? • source

Sports: Five reasons it frickin’ rules MSU made the NCAA championship

one Cedar Village needed stress tests, so having it bombarded by people is a big help.
two The Taco Bell on Grand River Ave. was going through a tough time and needed business.
three Tom Izzo hadn’t had an amazing season in a while. Everyone just needed a reminder.
four Enrollment was sagging, so how better to remind people to go to your school than winning a sport?
five The nerds in the dorms will finally be able to study because the partiers finally left! source

Sports: Oh, and Michigan State did its alumni proud today

Yay home team! Rah! Rah! The No. 2 Spartans toppled No. 1 Louisville to get to the Final Four. They totally ruined our bracket, but we couldn’t think of a better team to ruin our bracket. (Note to fans of ShortFormBlog: We went to Michigan State University, graduated from its journalism program and hold a strong affinity for the school, Panchero’s burritos, Gumby’s Pizza, McDonel Hall and Tom Izzo. In fact, we think Izzo is the Midwestern Coach K that you can’t find a good reason to hate, so you love him. That is all.) source
