The Sponsors

This show is presented by UGP & The Bo Store, and if it wasn’t for Rishi and Ryan, MGoBlog never would have gotten the yellow fixed.

Our other sponsors are also key to all of this: the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown gave us a room, the University of Michigan Alumni Association gave us a membership, Ann Arbor Elder Law gave us a plan, Michigan Law Grad got us down to a misdemeanor, Human Element got the site back up, the Phil Klein Insurance Group paid out our "if Beilein leaves" policy, Peak Wealth Management invested it, and HomeSure Lending is showing Juwan the Brandon's [sic] house, and introducing Fuegobox, the reason we can spit fire.

--------------------------------------------

1. Who's Juwan Howard?

starts at 1:00

Not your typical NBA to college guy. Has deep connections in the NBA, and in AAU, since his sons just went through it. Has developed some big time bigs with the Heat, including a guy younger than Teske. Johns and Castleton gotta be happy. Recruiting after the world of one and done.

2. Who's Going to be Juwan Howard's Assistants?

starts at 31:00

Going over who we've got—we definitely want to find an analyst job for Hayes's kids. Could keep them all, expect to have at least one spot for Juwan to fill. Use a spot on a recruiter, or a point god?

3. Who's Going to be Juwan Howard's Players?

starts at 51:33

How realistic is Franz now? Our Cumberland discussion is already dated since his cousin is going back to Cincy. What about last year's freshmen? Get through this season and make the tournament and next year can be the next F--- Five class.

4. Gimmicky Top Five: Not Shoulderpads

Starts at 1:20:25

In honor of the Red Wings bringing back Steve Yzerman and other 1990s things, other things you'd bring back from the Nineties. Honorable mention: Jason Horn and Will Carr. Kevin Bacon is now connected to everything ever put on a pog.

I haven't listened to the segment yet but as far as Franz; I guess I just assumed that Beilein made the decision for him and he would stay in Berlin...

Sliders is a sci-fi show that I'm kind of surprised hasn't been attempted to be reincarnated on Netflix.  The first couple seasons of that were great.

Also, Netflix, bring back the Highlander.  It is time.

I understand what Ace was getting at with regards to movies and original ideas, but it was amusing to me that he brought up Jurassic Park as a Hollywood original idea.  It was definitely a book before a movie and therefore not an original idea.  In fact you can also blame that on the run of Jurassic Park sequels that got progressively worse and the start of all the Michael Crichton books becoming movies like Sphere, Congo, Disclosure, the 13th Warrior, etc.  So not only was it not original, it was just another cog in the machine they were complaining about.

You are correct.  His first adapted movie was The Andromeda Strain.  That was also in 1971, a long time before Jurassic Park was adapted.  It did jump start a Michael Crichton movie splurge in the early 70's, with Westworld, Terminal Man, and The Great Train Robbery.  However, that run ended in 1978.  Jurassoc Park was released in 1993, so 15 years.  I would argue, given the time lapse, that they were 2 distinct and separate runs on adapting his material.
