...says Denzel Valentine of Big Ten Tourney favorite MSU, which is 5-7 in its last 12 games. Cumong, man.
Coaches' timeouts are worse. Basketball teams should get one, full stop.
"Though I received no official response to these sophisticated and elegant tweets to the Illini Athletic Department, I would like to think that Beckman spent the evening prank calling everyone in Illinois named George McLellan and then ordering an absurd amount of hats off an internet haberdashery to hoard in his home's hat annex."

Petway nails threes to death metal. Seriously.

"Tonight we were reminded that Michigan is five years further down the road. Which means we have a long road ahead. The State Farm Center renovations start in a few hours and will run for three years. Let’s hope that when they’re complete, we’re Michigan."
unfortunate break for Boilers
hooray

THE AGONY OF... VICTORY?
Today, on September 11, it's appropriate to celebrate some of the many of the things America does right. Fast food. Trucks. Big budget Hollywood epics full of explosions and ridiculous violence. God Bless the USA.
One of the things we're also great at is raising up heroes... and tearing them down. At least since the rise of Elvis, our nation, and particularly the national media, has had a knack for elevating our heroes to impossible standards, and then lambasting them when then they fail to live up to those expectations. But it's not just the media. We, the public, buy into the hype. It's dangerously easy to feel entitled to the type of expectations that arise from public perception. We defend the frantic need to be more entertained than we had been by the previous outing. Think Iron Man 2. Nucky Thompson. The Green Album.
Team 133 did not vote themselves #8 in the country. They did not write the team preview and send it to Athlon Sports. And they most certainly can't be faulted for trying their best yet not performing the way we wanted them too. For not picking up where a somewhat lucky and over-achieving team left off. We're AAAAAWWWLLL guilty of it, myself included-- but maybe that's a positive thing to emerge this week, the idea that whatever we expect from this team this year may very well not be what we receive.
I'm currently working on several strips right now, so on Thursday we'll either see how Tom likes to rant about the team's perceived shortcomings or Desmond will meet a famous singer/songwriter.

Dude, you are talking way too much sense with no use of strange meme's or repeatedly beating a dead horse...are you sure you belong on the internet?
Y U no like ManPanda?
It's not that I don't like it, it sounds kind-of cool, I just don't get it. When I read that I pictured the Kung-Fu Panda in my head and Jack Blacks voice being critical of Michigan football...I know, that isn't what it is...but it is what popped into my ADHD head.
Yeah. I miss the dicks.
Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
I do hear that there are bars that can accomondate you, though.
Also, what is the old man pushing away in the second to last frame?
I found Iron Man 2 to be damn entertaining....
....but your point is well made.
I agree, Iron Man 2 was awesome.
I sent this to my wife - I said this will be us in 30 years
Sorry?
