Ohio State

Since Indiana just lost to OSU tonight, I was wondering what the Big Ten Tournament seedings could be. This is the schedule for the remaining Big Ten conference games and the winners of each game in my completely subjective opinion:

Wednesday 3/6

Michigan @ Purdue

Minnesota @ Nebraska

Thursday 3/7

Wisconsin @ Michigan State

Penn State @ Northwestern

Saturday 3/9

Minnesota @ Purdue

Nebraska @ Iowa

Sunday 3/10

Indiana @ Michigan

Northwestern @ Michigan State

Illinois @ Ohio State

Wisconsin @ Penn State

This would result in a 4-way tie atop the conference between Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State. According to the tiebreaking procedures from last year's tournament, the seeding would work out as follows:

Here is the 2013 Big Ten Tournament bracket. In the scenario I described, Michigan would be playing the winner of Minnesota vs Nebraska. If I made a mistake, please correct me.

EDIT: Fixed. I think UM would be the 3 seed by virtue of losing the comparison to OSU against Wisconsin.

Our last regular season road game in the CCHA, Michigan goes for the sweep in Columbus tonight. Racine starts in net, Selman stays, Sinelli is back in the lineup, Lindsay Sparks sits. The game is televised on Comcast 900

Like most of us, I couldn't sleep after last night's amazing game with Ohio. ESPN had a photo piece about Michigan and then some.  Some good shots that many will appreciate, particularly after our win.  89 photos in all.  

The piece is called Michigan vs Ohio State - One Day, One Game

Per ESPN, Gene Smith favors the concept that Michigan and Ohio should be in the same Division, nothing new for Mgoblogers.  Not locked in stone, but leaning in that direction as DB feels similarly.

Smith said he has had informal discussions with Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon about the two teams being in the same division and that both sides were open to the idea. In an email to ESPN.com, Brandon said, "I would certainly not be opposed to being in the same division as OSU if it was in the best interest of our conference. I look forward to the discussion with my colleagues and our conference leadership." 

"Going into the meetings, we would be leaning toward being in the same division," Smith said. "But there might be something that comes up in the [AD meetings] that could change our minds."

Enough of this Duke talk. Enough of this talk about #1.  None of it matters.

In two and a half hours we go into the pit of sin, debauchery, and cooler poopers. In two and a half hours we play Ohio State. We have the chance to make a statement on the road in Big Ten play.  We have a national spotlight. 

The time is now.  Go Blue.

How are you dealing with your grief?

What happened today is depressing.  My solution is to work out.  Maybe do some cardio, watching Chizik get embarassed for the last time (guilty pleasure).

Finish work out in time to hopefully watch USC beat Notre Dame.  It would make me feel better.

It's the best I can do.

This day can be depressing.  Good luck coping everyone.
