the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection
but I thought that draft was supposed to be incredibly loaded?
If you're gonna go please be in the first round.
another delightful side effect of a 14 team conference
I disagree.
GOOD PLAN
hahahahaha
thoughtful piece from Jacobi on middle finger lady
Their high school coaches and AAU coaches have probably a better appreciation of Michigan than maybe they had before," Beilein said. "It's a tough balance right now. Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "
"When I call somebody a midget, clearly I'm not trying to insult f---ing midgets. I'm just using basketball terminology."

And you think you're crowded at Michigan Stadium

this is amazing
But I just love beating up Rosenberg with technical and undisputable stuff.
Rosenberg has fiercely tried to keep his sources anonymous. Part of that is ordinary journalism ethics and s.o.p. For instance, Rosenberg won't admit that Toney Clemons was one of his sources, even after Clemons outed himself.
But there are so many problems with what he did. There's no explanation why former Michigan players would have to fear "retribution from coaches" as the article originally claimed. I called Rosenberg on this, and he admitted that he should have said something like "general retribution." Huh? "Retribution" from whom? Rosenberg vaguely claims that even other coaches, NFL scouts and coaches, etc. might no like a rat, so to speak.
But that does little to truly explain Rosenberg. Why did they name the two then-current freshmen, Stokes and Hawthorne? I questioned Rosenberg about that one. Did they decline anonymity after it was offered to them? Did they even know what the story was about? Does it make the slightest bit of sense that somebody like a Boren or a Mallett or a Clemons would demand anonymity (Clemons said he NEVER demanded anonymity) while two current freshmen would not? What happened to fearing "retribution."***
This is such a garbage pit of mas failure for Rosenberg and Snyder. I hope this book haunts their entire careers. I'd like to make that happen.
***I want to note that in at least one place in the book, John U. Bacon explicitly grants anonymity to one of his sources, a journalist who knows Rosenberg, who demanded anonymity based on a fear of professional retribution. I hope Bacon gets asked about that, so that we can compare his answer, and the detail thereof, to Rosenberg. Remembering that Rosenberg's ONLY sources for his story had been anonymous players. (Forget Stokes and Hawthorne; they disowned their quotes as having been taken completely out of context, and they were substantially supported in that regard by none other than Angelique Chengelis, who witnessed their interviews herself.
