Early Morning Good Times Roll Thread
I really think with UCONN's win tonight that MICH's RPI will rise high enough that the Tournament is easily in reachwait? wut?
Still, MICH played 3 BCS teams and a fourth that won 11 games. And despite really the worst case scenario any of us could envision on D, still went bowling.
And, if I can be frank....I think this year's basketball team is better than last years. And, better than the 2008-09 outfit. Just sayin' Hockey? Frozen Four. Book It! After a Big Chill beatdown, natch.
Merry Christmas. Happy Hannakah. Merry New Year. Let The Goodt Times Roll
We're not where we want to be. But, we're one step closer. Unless its soccer, then we're exactly where we want to be.
Changed thread title. In case there are people who have a hope of seeing the sunrise. Hey, I am having one more, but no guarantees. See ya over morning coffee. Optimism better remain, yo

Hold you down and posbang the crap out of you for starting this Dee-scusion.

steak dinner. Bonanza?
December 5th, 2010 at 1:00 AM ^
UCONN going to a bcs game is lol funny.. Ironic that they don't even score a offensive touchdown in a game that sent them to play a BCS game where they will most likely get stomped.. Frazer is pretty bad
December 5th, 2010 at 1:04 AM ^
this is a basketball thread bro...?
December 5th, 2010 at 1:06 AM ^
my bad, football too
December 5th, 2010 at 1:06 AM ^
a feel good about all Michigan athletics thread. Although diminishing our win against UConn is not cool.
December 5th, 2010 at 1:32 AM ^
It was a big opening win, but im not diminishing it. I stated a fact.. Frazer is not good, and it is laughable that they are going to a BCS to get pounded badly.
December 5th, 2010 at 1:43 AM ^
but I will still tell my friends we beat a BCS team.
December 5th, 2010 at 2:08 PM ^
That's impressive. Can't wait for us to get one of those kinds of kickers...

Fruity Pebbles
But, cereal, did we think we'd have three double digit scorers in hoops? We do. And our best recruit isnt even one of them. Stu and Zach are, wait for it, # 5and #6 in scoring, and yet today filled the Merritt/Lee role to a T.
Hoops. Get on board now, people.
Also, clear your schedule. January 2012, BCS game. March 2012, Sweet 16.
Heard it here first. BOOK IT!
December 5th, 2010 at 1:39 AM ^
And the lack of faith among too many fans, I find disturbing.
Sev. questions:
- Predicted football record, game by game, 2011.
- NIT in 2011? Discuss.
- Basketball recruiting: sufficient?
December 5th, 2010 at 1:59 AM ^
Alright, here goes. But, I am answering them a little different
1.) I have already said, and will maintain the prediction, that MICH will be at least 1 game better after 10 games in 2011 than in 2010. 8-2, with the division in our own fate. Can we play with BRASKER and OSU? We'll see. But we're closer than CW says, despite the score last week.
2.) Hoops. My Preseason pick was 9-2 before league, 7-11 in league, loss to KU, 1-1 in Big 10 tournament, That is an NIT bid. We can do better. But, we are so young, I think those coin flip bubble games will go against us. Then again. I mean this. Without BS. This is Beilein's best team at MICH so far. And, he's already dragged us into the tourney. But, keep those thoughts on the down low. Sssshhhhh. Lets keep this between us.
3.) Uh, yes, He's already brought in the best back to back classes that MICH has had since the Fab Five 2 Era. With some good recruits coming with future classes.
December 5th, 2010 at 1:05 AM ^
Does this make us Big East champs?
December 5th, 2010 at 1:41 AM ^
According to Jamie Morris, we're that best Big East team.
December 5th, 2010 at 1:10 AM ^
Lets see
Utah is DEADT
FYS is DEADT
And to be safe...Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi State is DEADT
Who is soccer playing? I dont know. Akron? DEADT
ALL OF THEM ARE DEADT!!!!!!
December 5th, 2010 at 7:47 AM ^
Wormer? He's a DEADT MAN!
Marmalard? DEADT!
Niedermeyer...
December 5th, 2010 at 1:13 AM ^
awesome thread. i cracked up when you started getting on a roll at the end... Frozen Four? BOOK IT! natch!
December 5th, 2010 at 1:16 AM ^
Soph D-Mo is better than Soph Manny
Not as crazy a statement as you think
December 5th, 2010 at 1:28 AM ^
Watching him last year, I told everyone I could, "Morris is going to be good. I mean real f'ing GOOD!"
He instantly became my favorite player. The front line is going to take some time and I think the conference schedule is going to be pretty rough for this team, but I like next year.
December 5th, 2010 at 1:19 AM ^
Damn, you're gonna make me wheel out all my Dead stuff again. Okay, whatever
December 5th, 2010 at 1:26 AM ^
Keep it going.
Any clip, any song. Link it below. My rule is always: If you get confused, listen to the music play
December 5th, 2010 at 1:38 AM ^
This is for RR...don't give in...don't know how to embed
December 5th, 2010 at 1:39 AM ^
Love this song, thanks for the late night music.
Side note: Me and my fiancee's "song" is Eyes of the World
Stay strong RR
December 5th, 2010 at 1:57 AM ^
Well here's to her and you...this is as good as it gets...soccer, hoops, football (okay, I am a UM alum, one kid currently in UM, one at UConn), we're on tonight
December 5th, 2010 at 2:06 AM ^
Immediately recognized this version because of the crazy looking fellow in the suspenders front row...popping in the Grateful Dead Movie now.
Not an UM alum here, but looking and trying my hardest to get to AA for law school.
Go Blue!
December 5th, 2010 at 2:24 AM ^
I'll make a concession to age here, only because I'm in such a good mood. I saw the movie in its opening release in NYC in 1977. Enough said.
Rock on
December 5th, 2010 at 2:30 AM ^
Never met a guy that loved the Grateful Dead that didn't love MMW as well, so here's a great video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nizdV8gFYsc
Cheers and Go Blue!

Kinda reminds me of our football team's growth the last couple of years. verse by verse. next year, the final lick. we win no particular way but our own.
December 5th, 2010 at 12:10 PM ^
Fire up 6-10-73. It should warm one of those early winter Ann Arbor days.

Is Soccer really in the Final Four
That is sooooo killer
Folks may not know that I am an IU grad. Soccer is, well, ahem, our sport, I guess. Anyway, when I was in school it was so long ago that the Big 10 actually having a soccer league seemed far fetched, let alone another school other than IU doing the footprint proud.
I did some time broadcasting IU soccer games in the early 1990s on student radio
Could not be more proud to see a Michigan soccer team kicking ass like this
December 5th, 2010 at 1:25 AM ^
The five losses this year were all tough to swallow, but when looked at in this light it makes things easier. Looking forward to heading up to AA from Atlanta next week for the Big Chill!
Cheers to a improved team in 2011 and the many great possibilities for Michigan Athletics!
GO BLUE!
December 5th, 2010 at 1:28 AM ^
I like this post A LOT.. and that's not the booze talking....
I'm booking my tix for Green Bay.. werd
December 5th, 2010 at 2:22 AM ^
A post not about recruiting, harbaugh, richrod, db, or gerg!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Thank you, for being able to create a post that looks at the big picture. For bringing into light the success that all of Michigan athletics is having right now. Most people get so tied up into all the controversy surrounding the football program that they forget to look at the big picture. Its nice to have a thread that makes you step back and take perspective. Good things are coming. For all the naysayers out there, its up to you to decide whether you want to be a part of it or not.
December 5th, 2010 at 2:27 AM ^
Lot's of great things happening in M sports! Let's celebrate! Go Blue!
December 5th, 2010 at 2:28 AM ^

And a JAGERBOMB for every one

Jumbo size it and make it frozen, and I'll be all over that!!
December 5th, 2010 at 3:02 AM ^
Lulz go blue.
But this hockey team is soft. Someone needs to demonstrate the ability to take over a game. Carl, I'm looking at you. Louie, feel free.
December 5th, 2010 at 3:32 AM ^
I figure things are looking up
More so than people want to write or chirp about
We have the best young talent in the league
And I could be talking about a loit different sports

Wait, your last paragraph is two sentences long. You forgot to hit enter.

Jamiemac's performance is an 'embarassment'
He should resign
immediately.
For the good of the blog.

Talk amongst yourselves. I'll give you a topic. Grape-Nuts- it contains neither grapes, nor nuts. Discuss.
