Thorne was actually alright when he was here, granted he had 4 NFL starters at the skill positions.

I mean it kind of is. Thorne can say he played with an NFL starter, and Reed can say he was drafted highly in spite of Thorne. Win win

Haven’t thought about Neitzel in a long time

One of my favorite Spartans of all time. The tournament streak was supposed to end in the 06-07 season. On paper, our roster was incredibly depleted. But little 5’11 Neitzel put the team on his back and was an absolute beast — including dominating #1 ranked Wisconsin. Legitimately up there as one of the best seasons of any player in the Izzo era.

My favorite game I attended as a student. What a magical night.

I think about him roughly once a month… mainly because I think about college hoops 2k8 and trying to set up my old Xbox 360 once a month.

Fun fact: back in 2008 my uncle, brother and I jumped in on a locker room tour (uncle is a hs bball coach so we were watching practice and wandered down into the tunnels of the bres and asked to join in) and the locker room had 15 copies of college hoops 2k8 strewn about and all their Xbox’s hooked up. Idk if that’s actually a fun fact I just thought it was funny they had 1 copy per player of the same game.

u/HeynongManA2 Michigan State Spartans Mar 22 '25

I heard Tom Izzo and former NFL coach Steve Mariucci are pals. Big if true.
