Tom Izzo respects Michigan's achievement, but at Final Four will be 'cheering for the Spartans' mLive
"Am I going to carry the Michigan banner? Probably not. If my kid does, he's dead," Izzo said half-jokingly. "But am I pulling for the Big Ten, and do I think they've accomplished a lot? I do. And that's the way I'll probably leave it. That I have respect, and I think what they've done and the way they've won a couple of those games has been good."

Dantonio said today before practice that he is having co-offensive coordinator Dave Warner call plays with a play clock during portions of practice, to simulate game conditions. Warner and co-offensive coordinator Jim Bollman have replaced the departed Dan Roushar, and Warner will call plays in 2013.

"The quarterbacks need to continue to make plays and need to create," Dantonio said, "so we keep trying to put them in situations where they've got to take a bad play and make a good one.

"I just kind of realized that you need to be able to operate and handle tasks and do your job regardless of any outside circumstances.
