If enough of us watch, can we trade the ratings points in for an extra eligibility year for Stu and Zack? Life without them scares me.

What does that mean?
February 10th, 2012 at 1:48 PM ^
Certain games late in the schedule are set for a particular weekend, but they keep it open whether the game will be played on Saturday or Sunday depending on what the TV networks want to pick up. This was one of those games.

thanks

Can this injury be turned into some kind of Robbie Hummel 5th year of eligibility?
I will miss Novak

I lucked into corner seats on the floor right next to the Michigan bench. I remember the look on Novak's face when they took him by to the locker room to clean him up. Dude is a warrior.

sighting. Volunteer Assistant Coach? How have I missed him on the sidelines?
February 10th, 2012 at 5:08 PM ^
I'm pretty sure he has been there the past few years. Not sure if you remember him, but he was the 7'0" 4 star recruit that we all drooled over out of hs. Unfortunately his career ended early and he was never really given a chance to make an impact. It's to bad
February 10th, 2012 at 4:20 PM ^
Of course the student tickets don't work for this game...

Novak's number should be retired. He was a 3-time captain, second time ever that has happened. Not to mention that he led Michigan to their first NCAA tournament since 1998.
