Like some of you, I happened to watch some of the MSU-ND "Little Giants" overtime game tonight, which was replayed on BTN.

I had to bring this video snippet to the board tonight.

I have the audio turned off for the part when Dantonio calmly turns to Conroy and says, "Run Little Giants." It's amazing, considering what we know now.

Dantonio's poker face is legendary. Conroy gives the brook trout look.

The amazing part in retrospect is how drastically and rapidly the situation changed. It was third-and-5 at the 20, and Cousins was sacked, which made it four-and-13 at the 28. Dantonio had about five seconds to process the situation when he made the call for the trick play. And he did so without a sigh or exhale or a worried stroke of the chin. He just called it and gave a half smirk. It's amazing.
