Linking Laconically is moving on

Sorry for the delay on Linking Laconically today. A spontaneous first 18 holes of the year distracted me. Tonight, we get to watch the national title game all of us feel MSU should be in. However, it's time to stop being depressed about MSU basketball, so to take our minds of that, there's more football to read about, as spring practice keeps cruising along. There's also some good news on the basketball court, especially for Draymond Green, who has not surprisingly embraced his starting role while David Lee is out with an injury.

It was a little early to call him a bust, but it will be nice to see him get a chance to prove himself.

Got to be a weird feeling to be living on campus while all your friends are in high school.

He defends and sets screens with the best of 'em. Somebody coached him up well.

Pretty obvious choices.
