Last Friday, I had a chance to attend Big Ten Basketball Media Days in Indianapolis, and I had the opportunity to ask Michigan State University basketball head coach Tom Izzo about any items that remained on his professional bucket list (Coach Izzo gave an entertaining and long-winded answer that concluded with a game against the Michigan Wolverines in the Upper Peninsula).
Coach Izzo also had a lot of complimentary things to say about Michigan State head football coach Mel Tucker. It occurs to me that while Coach Izzo’s bucket list has most of the items already crossed off, the football team’s sophomore head man has a list with a lot more goals that he is eager to reach.
