EAST LANSING, Mich. (97.1 The Ticket) -- 'Tis the season for Tom Izzo to bust out his accordion.

As is yearly tradition, the Michigan State basketball coach played a few Christmas tunes at Reno's East Monday night for his radio show.


In front of a packed house, Izzo showed off his (not-so-secret) talent, and players and fans sang along to get in the Christmas spirit.

Izzo has played his accordion all over the world -- from Italy to the Dan LeBatard Show. He's even done it dressed like a member of KISS at MSU's midnight madness.

The No. 15 Spartans are off to a 7-3 start to the season, which they began as the No. 1 team in the country. MSU has a pair of games this week -- at Northwestern on Wednesday and home against Eastern Michigan on Saturday.
