How sad is it that I turned my laptop on just to see if there were Muppets?

It's like listening for "All I do is win" at the end of each game. Worth the effort and the wait.

Happy to win, but beating OSU
Happy to win, but beating OSU
Happy to win, but beating OSU in basketball isn't muppet worthy in my opinion. That's a game you are supposed to win.

Did you see Michigan's record
Did you see Michigan's record
Did you see Michigan's record against Matta? It's pretty darn Muppet worthy if you ask me.

All I am saying is that if
All I am saying is that if
All I am saying is that if you believe that Michigan is as good as their ranking this year, the you have to expect them to win that game. I guess I just think muppets should be reserved for something more dramatic.

I'm very sorry this game
I'm very sorry this game
I'm very sorry this game wasn't dramatic enough for you
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
February 6th, 2013 at 1:17 AM |
Maybe dramatic is the Wong
Maybe dramatic is the Wong
Maybe dramatic is the Wong word. But if you have muppets after every mid season home win over a team you are supposed to beat it will get old fast.

I didn't know "dramatic" came from the Chinese...

You beat your arch rival in overtime in a must win game after already losing to them, I'd say it's worth a little excitement.

Yeah, if that win doesn't qualify, then what in the heck does?
I'm not a lunatic. Seriously, i'm not.
Ok, maybe just a little bit.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:26 AM |
Let's see, Your
Let's see, Your
Let's see,
- Your arch-rival (in an of itself nearly muppet worthy)
- A must-win home game
- Back and forth, high-intensity, classic bball game
- Overtime thriller with 2 point win to Michigan
- Aforementioned win against Top 10 team
- First meeting between them when they are Top 10
- Thad Matta was 17-3 against us coming into the game
I think it passes the muppet test, you may get off your high horse now and be a little bit excited.
HAIL.

You forgot night game on your list. Michigan has not had much success in night games as of late.
Also, I don't care what anyone else says, my heart at 120 bpm was telling me this game is worthy of muppets.

if you believe that Michigan is as good as their ranking
if you believe that Michigan is as good as their ranking
So Michigan is ranked this highly for the first time since you were shitting your diapers, but you're acting like we're Duke or Kansas and have been doing this for years. The problem isn't the Muppets, it's that your arrogant expectations have completely outrun reality.
This Michigan team—and program—still has plenty of games to win before we can consider ourselves a solid, year-to-year member of basketball's elite. Being ranked #1 or #3 midseason is great, but plenty of teams have done that over the years only to have been proven to be a momentary flash in the pan. The real test is how the entire season goes, including post-season. That's why this game was so important.
February 6th, 2013 at 10:06 AM |
Yeah...
Yeah...
...but by that rationale, then literally every game right now is worthy of muppets. It's a slippery slope.

Double post..

Nope
Nope
We were the #1 team in the country a week ago and #3 today. We're playing at home. Had to EXPECT to win this game - however hard and painful it ended up being. Most definitively not worthy of Jim Henson's furry puppets.

Agree with ms. Piggy's disagreement. Are we really questioning whether a last second win over our #10 ranked arch rival in a must win on a last second OT stop that sets us up to possibly be b10 champs is worthy of excitement?

Not sure which I'm happier about
Not sure which I'm happier about
1. The win
2. That Aaron Kraft looked like a complete d-bag tool sitting on the floor waiting for a call at the end.
Or 3. That those maize shoes were the sickest kicks ever worn by a M team. My son will be wearing those at his next ball game.
Good thing Herm was in bed by 7:30 or he'd have had a grabber seeing those unis.

Can we get a still shot pic of Craft's shot clock violation to shut up all the OSU fans crying about the last play of the game?

Or a gif of the flagrant that they'll never call in that situation because the rulebook gets tossed in OT. Because it was and it does.

Or the fact that if they did
Or the fact that if they did
Or the fact that if they did call a foul it was on Burke and it was well before the shot and they weren't in the bonus. They would have had to throw up a desperation shot at the buzzer.
The refs let them play all game and there were calls all game that could have went either way. They called it both ways.

This is a great point. If we

This is a great point. If we had a foul to give (I think we may have been at 6) then Burke arguably should have fouled Craft just after he crossed midcourt.

Text thread with my former Michigan roommate starting late 4th quarter:
Him: Better ending than I thought.
Me: Heluva game
Him: The big white dude (McGary) is tough.
Me: The difference
Me: Ohio offense playing out of its head.
Him: Awesome
Him: They are starting to crack a little.
Me: Burke needs to be more aggressive.
Him: Yes
Him: White dude for OSU also playing tough.
Me: Outplaying Burke
Him: Yes
Me: We're gonna lose?
Him: Or lucky.
Him: Not lucky. Great play.
Me: Gotta make both. Flagrant?
Him: Wow. Let em play.
Me: My dog is afraid of me.
Him: Trained him well.
Me: Debate is cool.
Me: Denard
Him: He is.
Me: Goodnight my friend
Him: Yes. Sleep well

I couldn't stand during the game - my knees were shaking so bad and my stomach was doing flips.

Great Day!
Great Day!
ok, in no particular order:
I am on vacation in Honolulu, I was asked today to honor my (M alum) father for a lifetime achievement award when I get back home, my (M alum) GF has been amazing to me today (censored for the kids). and Michigan BEATS OHIO!
I would gladly live this day over and over again and its not even dinner time yet. Could signing day be even better?
Ohio with a passion. But right now I continue to hate them with a smile on my face.
Go Blue!
