and seriously do not understand why some people bother to come to Michigan basketball games.  You have the No. 1 team (or close to it at the time), the best offense in the country, one of the most exciting group of freshmen, a great gif-worthy play...

... and people stay glued to their seats.  Some of them look like there's a timeout on the floor..  Jeebus, folks, what does it take to get you people excited?  Medicare Part D, I know, but what else?

The clip cuts off before you can see any fan reaction. I can see a couple people start to get up, but generally it takes a second or two. The slow motion makes it seem like it's forever and they don't care.

Add in another 2-3 second for the brain to process that it's Nik Stauskas that just did that.

No, I'm not racist, that was his first dunk of the entire season.

I'm a big fan, but it is a litle harder to go all crazy as you get older.  You look a little, well, crazy. Also, I totally mortify my 12 year old.  Call me when you hit 40.

 

I do have a crazy old man story....we were sitting in the upper deck and it was the beginning of the Iowa game, which was not the best beginning.  Old man yells "box out!", like they could hear him.  It did not go as planned, so he yells, "I TOLD YOU TO BOX OUT!"

Looks like the forgot one important thing in the Crisler renovation -- they should've put 50-volt electric buzzers in all the seats, connected to a switch manned by someone from the AD. They could just flip it whenever there's a suitably big play, in order to get the Metamucil crowd out of their seats.
