Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo is making a surprise appearance on Judge Mathis, to air on Dec. 7, and he is just so happy to be there:
Tom Izzo appeared on ‘Judge Mathis’ and couldn’t contain his excitement
Nobody has been this excited to be in court.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
You can see Izzo’s smile get wider and wider until he can’t contain himself anymore. The Michigan State coach was in the audience during a case involving an Ohio State fan, who gave Judge Mathis the chance to riff on the coach being in the crowd:
It’s given us a curious battle brewing in the state of Michigan. On one side we have Jim Harbaugh and Judge Judy, and on the other we’ve got Izzo and Judge Mathis. Harbs was in the Judge Judy audience a few years back, while he was coaching the 49ers.
Harbaugh never got the kind of effusive shout-out Izzo did though, so round one goes to the Michigan State pair. Here’s the full clip, which will air later this week:
