Good shit guys. Well deserved.

Great to see Novak and Douglass get this after going through a tough four years.

Every time we broke the huddle it was "Big Ten Champs"...what a great feeling to set that goal and then reach it.

Let's go win the B1G Tournament!

Couldn't be happier for Douglass and Novak (two kids that no other D1 program wanted), and the rest of the team. To say it's well deserved would be an understatement. Go Blue!

OMG RCMB is absolutely melting down.  Here's a brief summary of what i've learned by spending about 5 minutes there:

1. Game was fixed

2. Delany hates MSU and ordered the refs to fix the game

3. MSU needs to pull out of the B1G (not kidding....that sentiment actually has LEGS there)

4. B1G fixed games to selll more conference championship T-Shirts

I havent been on that site ever but i think it's safe to say that if you took all the posters and added up their respective SAT scores I don't think you'd get to 1,000.

from one of the Sparty sites:

 

"Losing this game, and even sharing the title, normally wouldn't bother me. But we have to share it with SCum. Any other team and I really wouldn't care. But even after being transferred to Texas 3 1/2 years ago, I still can't find any peace because of that institution, their arrogance, and yes, their success (their Sugar Bowl bid was bad enough, but hoops?? I can only hope Izzo, the coaches, and the players are just as upset)."

I'll be perfectly honest, I shed tears of joy.

12 years ago today was the darkest day in Michigan Basketball history.

12 years later, B1G Champions.

So happy for the team and especially the seniors.  Funny that MSU, OSU, and U of M will all get the same rings but will probably look at them much differently.  MSU with regret, U of M with pride, and OSU on the hand of the guy at the tattoo parlor they sold them to.

So happy for Zack and Stu. Hang that banner and give them boys their rings. Now have to go shower - still feeling a little dirty when I was so happy that shot feel for ohio

to the NBA I would have never thought what happened today had any chance of coming true. With what the football, and basketball team has done this year by out doing even the best outcomes we had in our minds before the seasons started was huge. They both went over and beyond what my expectations were, and all I can say is wow. We are Big Ten Champs end of story, way to go guys.

An update from RCMB (just because it's fun).

An OSU poster is on the site and basically it's a battle of f-bombs, variations of the word shit used in ways not intended and generous use of the always funny word "retard".  And it's going back and forth so it truly is beyond amusing.

It's kinda like turds telling vomit they smell bad.

Can't overstate how much Novak & Stu deserved this.  They signed up for Michigan when no one knew how Beilein would work out, and Beilein spotted them when no one else wanted them.  From playing a major role in upsets against UCLA & Duke in their freshman year to leading the team to a B10 title as seniors, they have had phenomenal careers.  I'm going to miss watching them play (esp. Novak) something awful.

Great things happen when Sparty chokes in their most important B1G game. I can't believe that he ran into the kicker.... I mean blew that huge lead at home!

....It was about 13 months ago that many were saying to fire Beilein, that he could neither coach or recruit well enough.  Cue Douglass with the dagger, B1G title, and top 5 recruiting class.  Yeah, "Fire Beilein!"
