If you'd like to turn your computer desktop into a Spartan Basketball utopia, download one of my new desktop backgrounds created for the greenandwhite.com webpage.
You can download them straight from this blog, just look for the 'Green & White Computer Wallpaper' widget toward the bottom right corner of this page.
I'm working on more and will continue to update you as I post them ...
I will also create a few more as the Spartans progress throughout the Final Four ...
Enjoy!
Sample: Tom Izzo celebrates after defeating Tennessee
By now I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors that the University of Oregon plans to pitch a very lucrative deal to Tom Izzo, intending to lure him out of Spartan country and into the land of the Duck.
My advice to you as a Spartan fan?
Don’t read too into it.

Just wanted to let everyone know/remind that the pep rally for the Final Four bound Spartans begins tonight at 9:00 at the Breslin Center. The event is open to the public.
If you can't make it, check back here at the Bleeding Green blog tomorrow as I will have video posted of the event.
Well, I'm off for the Breslin Center ... this should be a great video. I'm really looking forward to filming the team holding up that regional trophy ...
I'm settled in at the Spartan Hall of Fame Cafe ... laptop is up and running, as well as the chat! Come join me and fellow Spartan fans as we root for a Sweet 16 victory over Northern Iowa!
I Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be hosting a live chat tomorrow during the MSU vs. NIU basketball game. I myself will not be at the game, but rather, like you, will be enjoying it as it is displayed on TV (or radio).
If you want a place to share your thoughts, or vent about the refs, I encourage you to check back here moments before the game starts tomorrow ... I will be attempting to emulate the perfect fan atmosphere ... which more than likely will result in hosting the chat from the comforts of an East Lansing bar, chomping down on a burger or two.
I know everyone has A LOT to say about the game, so why not chat it up LIVE with EACH OTHER?
What better place to talk about the game than in a live chat where Spartan fans can gather during the game?
I hope to see you there tomorrow!
(and any suggestions on what restaurant to broadcast from would be appreciated ... I still haven't made up my mind).
After all the excitement following Sunday's thriller against Maryland, I decided to put together a little slide-show to the tune of a song you just might recognize ...
I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything that happened in that last thirty seconds of action yesterday afternoon. Thanks to Northern Iowa, I'm now going to have to create a new bracket as MSU can't run through Kansas anymore ... (oh darn ...). And to those of you who doubted my prediction, all I can say is, my final four is still very much intact ... how is your bracket doing?
Obviously Kalin didn't shine against Maryland as I had hoped (in fact, through some horrid bit of a coincidence, the worst of the imaginable came true) but I still believe this team has the mindset and determination to pull off a run to the Final Four ... even with Kalin rooting from the bench. What better way could Korey Lucious have stepped into Kalin's shoes than to carry the weight of the team on his shoulders and send them into the Sweet 16 as time expired?
Something tells me Lucious is more than ready to take this team into St. Louis ... confidence-wise, that is.
We shall see come Friday ...
In the meantime, enjoy the slide-show below ... !
And here is the youtube video version of the slideshow below! The only downside is that I was not able to include the pan and zooms that were featured in the original slideshow, but the picture and audio quality match the original perfectly! Enjoy! (you can now share this video directly on a social networking site such as Facebook, as some of you have requested! The URL for the video is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR12cmAfaXk)
At the Men's Basketball Awards Bandquet, held Monday night, several pieces of hardware were handed out to celebrate the individual achievements of this year's team members.
(Spoiler Alert! You can check out Rexrode's blog for the results)
But in closing of the team banquet, Tom Izzo celebrated the efforts of his three seniors and had these remarks to share with the crowd ... which I will share with you.
