Michigan vs Penn State (Big Ten Opener) Open Thread
The game is at 7:30 on BTN, for all who do not know. KenPom gives us an 86% chance of winning this game. The highest probability of any Big10 conf. game we will have this season.

By gametime, this thread may not be on the front page anymore.
December 29th, 2011 at 5:55 PM ^
I think he really wanted to get his 2 points for starting a thread.
December 29th, 2011 at 6:16 PM ^
I'll be starting a Sugar Bowl Open Thread later this evening.
December 29th, 2011 at 6:21 PM ^
I think I'm going to hold off on making my National Signing Day thread until next week.
December 29th, 2011 at 6:41 PM ^
Haters gonna hate...and there is only one post that was started after my post, but u can be a complete asshole if you want. Just like the rest of the douches that decided to comment on it.
December 29th, 2011 at 6:49 PM ^
damn, looks like someone's goin all brian kelly on us
December 29th, 2011 at 6:59 PM ^
My advice for you would be to not take everything said here so seriously.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
needs moar hydralisks
December 29th, 2011 at 7:11 PM ^
You created an open thread nearly three hours before gametime. Did you think nothing was going to be said? Geez, grow a pair and learn to take some ribbing like a man.
EDIT: See this thread for an example of more appropriate open thread timing. At least keep it within an hour of gametime, we're not tailgating...

The game's in 45 mins and I am the second one up, wtf are u talking about? Straight up dick!
December 29th, 2011 at 7:10 PM ^
Take criticism in stride, especially critcism given in jest. This does not just apply to MGoBlog.
If you absolutely need to start an open thread for a basketball game against Penn State, do pretty close to game time. Like within 5 minutes. That way, no one will give you crap, and if someone starts one way early like this, it won't be you taking the crap.
Curse less at people on the internet. It accomplishes nothing other than making you look like a classless jerk, and almost always encourages whatever it was that made you mad in the first place. It's like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.
The more you know.
December 29th, 2011 at 8:33 PM ^
And are you over 12 years old?
<br>
<br>You're not a special little snowflake for creating a thread. Being a jackass about doing stupid things does not encourage people to post in your thread.
<br>
<br>And you might actually want to POST in the open thread you create, if it's not just about being first.
<br>
<br>And yes, I don't think I really want to post in your thread anymore...

1. First of all didn't realize that there was a specific time period before I could start an open thread. It is my first open thread and my first mgoboard forum post in general. Sorry, next time I will only post within 10 mins of the game or whatever the specified time is. I was excited for the game as it is the first game Michigan will be opening the Big10 conference with. My bad!!!
2. I don't think 2 hours or whatever before game time is that long. Some people might want to comment on the game before hand or preview the game. It's not like I started the open thread yesterday or midway through the game, because I think both of those would be stupid. Again, my apolgies to all of you who were deeply offended by me posting 2 hours prior to your liking.
December 29th, 2011 at 10:21 PM ^
Hey man, no one here was offended but you. We were just giving you a little ribbing and you got all worked up about it.
December 29th, 2011 at 4:58 PM ^
We need to start of the B1G season right. Get some momentum with these next two games going into Indiana.
December 29th, 2011 at 6:38 PM ^
Would anyone notice if he wore Horfords jersey?
December 29th, 2011 at 7:12 PM ^
In regards to what's on the BTN right now, Michigan is playing Washington in the 1993 Rose Bowl.
Things I've learned from that game:
1. Gary Moeller looks a bit like Stephen King.
2. Tyrone Wheatley is black Jesus.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:13 PM ^
Stu was on the court really early. Look for him to have a big game.

For anyone looking for a link. Hopefully it works.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
Is it working for you? I'm only seeing a V-CAM sign.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:36 PM ^
Same here
December 29th, 2011 at 7:40 PM ^
Same with me. At least there is audio.
Hopefully someone gets a working stream going.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:57 PM ^
I just tried the StreamTorrent thing/link/torrent/whatever the heck it is, and it actually works right now.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:32 PM ^
December 29th, 2011 at 7:33 PM ^
According to a text from a friend at Crisler, Mitch McGary is courtside at the game today.
Edit: Nvm, I see the earlier tweet from him. Fake neg away.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
That block was UGLY...
December 29th, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
Sweet moves from Burke in transition
December 29th, 2011 at 7:42 PM ^
Dammit, Smotrcyz, stop bringing the ball up!
December 29th, 2011 at 7:44 PM ^
The ball up. Give it to a fucking guard!
December 29th, 2011 at 7:46 PM ^
Beilein going to the bench early
December 29th, 2011 at 7:48 PM ^
Ugly shots tonight...
December 29th, 2011 at 7:49 PM ^
And then Vogrich drains one from NBA.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:51 PM ^
I just may have yelled "JIMMER RANGE" when he took that shot.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
Looks like we're going to finally start hitting some... let's light Penn State up.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:50 PM ^
Good to see us getting some points in the paint.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:52 PM ^
Everyone on this team has their own place on the floor, Hardaway though can hit a shot from anywhere, he's pretty amazing
December 29th, 2011 at 7:57 PM ^
December 29th, 2011 at 8:13 PM ^
The shooting is definitely off tonight. We should have close to 40 with the number of shots we're taking.
December 29th, 2011 at 7:59 PM ^
December 29th, 2011 at 8:00 PM ^
Nah, get the 'tussin!
December 29th, 2011 at 8:05 PM ^
I love my dad for many reasons. One of them is the access to his DishOnline account which gives me free access to BTN streams live.
December 29th, 2011 at 8:06 PM ^
Gotta love Magic Smotrycz and his coast to coast no look passes. Then we got Tim "George Mikan" Hardaway with the running rolling hook shot. Too much
Keep dribbling Smot keep dribbling
