OT: Cavs/Celtics trade may be voided
RIP Great Alaska Shootout
This year's edition of the Great Alaska Shooutout will be the final one. Michigan participated twice, in the 87-88 season and again in the 2007-2008 season.
As you might recall, Glen Rice may have made certain claims about what might have gone on off the court at the 87 edition of that tournament.
OT: Palace of Auburn Hills is Closing
http://www.wzzm13.com/news/local/detroit/confirmed-palace-of-auburn-hill...
Lots of speculation prior that it may stay up for events/concerts/what have you, but the building will be closed down for good.
It's a damn shame too. That's still a really state-of-the-art facility. Not even 30 years old yet.
Good press for Beilein in The Atlantic
The Atlantic today posted an interview of John Beilein. Very positive piece.
Not sure that many top 100 b-ball players are reading The Atlantic everyday. But...ya never know, right?

Yahoo College Pick'Em Is Set Up -Update-
Update: The league is full and yahoo has posted that the spreads will go up on the 28th so I will post a reminder on the board on that day. Again, if you don't get your picks in 24 hours before the first kickoff I will purge you from the leauge if I have other posters saying they would like to sign up. If I don't get any feedback indicating that people are waiting for a purge to get involved I won't waste my time because it's a giant pain in the ass. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladies and gents,
It's that time of year again. Please, Please, Please DO NOT sign up if you're not going to get your picks in for the first week. This league fills up quickly and after years of only having about 2/3 of the members actually put picks in for week one I set a deadline to purge those that hadn't put their picks in 24 hours before kickoff last. It took me hours to do so to free up spots for people that wanted to participate and I don't want to that again. With that said I will post a few reminders after the spreads go up and will again purge those that don't have their picks in 24 hours or so before kickoff. With that, happy picking and Go Blue!!
