There’s a good chance that no one in America has heard more about Alabama’s 38-0 win at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl during the past few weeks than Becky Dantonio. Late last week, while unloading a list of some of his team’s shortcomings in that game, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio stopped himself and repeated something he’s been reminded of often in 2016.
"As my wife tells me," he said, "'Let it go. Just let it go.'"
That clearly hasn’t been easy for Dantonio. The coach called a press conference last Friday in part to try to put his ninth season as the Spartans head coach behind him.
