So we're the 2013 national champions now, right? Honestly, to hell with perception and how this makes us look. Every school in America, from Rutgers on up to Duke, would be clamoring to add that banner to their rafters. OSU and MSU would do the same thing were they in our position too, and I wouldn't believe a single man, woman or child who tried telling me otherwise. This is not for a conference title, a sweet sixteen appearance or even for a Final Four appearance. This is for a damn national championship. 

Bring the whole team back for your first big non-con home game next year, raise the banner, and give Beilein and Co. the rings and recognition they deserve. 

The block was clean. And so was our team. Fuck Luke Hancock and fuck Rick Pitino.

After reading this, I watched the Big Ten elite on the 2013 team. Forgot they lost to Wisconsin because of a half court heave, lost at PSU, destroyed by MSU but got hot again at the end of the season.
That was a great season that fought through the toughest conference in decades. 5 teams in the top 11 at one point. Just scary.
I also have to point out, the block was clean!

I've resigned the fact that as a Michigan basketball fan, the universe has conspired for me to not have nice things. The older I get, the more I'm at peace with the fact that it's just the way things have to be.
