Good Morning and Go Blue! MBB Semi-finals
It's never too early to get a day like today started. Grab your coffee (or perhaps a Bloody Mary), take the dog for a walk NOW, don your Maize and Blue, and prepare to freighten your wife and kids with excessive exuberance.

AFTER our game, son.
Winners meet in the Big Ten Frickin Title Game.
The stars have aligned and the Michigan ________ Hating God seems to have taken up residence somewhere near Columbus Ohio, at least for the time being. The boys have already made this a memorable season, but now......HOLY CRAP......NOW they have an opportunity to do the unthinkable: win the big ten championship. The #2 and #3 seeds have already demonstrated the age old adage that "anything can happen in a one-and-done tournament and some teams lose focus of the conference tourney with the big dance looming." Well, maybe it's not AGE OLD, but you know what I'm gettin at. And as if THAT wasn't enough, after we conclude the "Worst Week Ever for the Worst State Ever", is the real possibility of a rematch against Little Brother, who has given credence to the Sparty Mantra: wake me up come March.
TREMENDOUS!
Hail to the Victors!
Sorry for the enormous photos. I resized them, and they looked fine when I previewed the post, but alas, they're friggin huge. Doh!
Heres to a great day and weekend. OSU, MIchigan is coming for your head!
+ 1 to you sir! Today is going to be a great day, the day we make tosu basketball feel almost as terrible as their football team does. Well, I guess as terrible as one can feel getting paid at a better rate than in the pros. GO BLUE!
That Bobcat punching Brutus makes me laugh every single time, without fail. I need to find a high res version I can get printed and framed.
Love the post. GO BLUE!!!
Being an Ohio resident I have carefully planned out my day. I am going to go to the Winking Lizard (very cool bar chain down here) with my Michigan Basketball t-shirt on and my Michigan hat. I will sit at the bar and will drink Dogfish 90's they have on tap. And I will yell my ass off watching Michigan knock off the damn Buckeyes thereby making their really shitty week even that much shittier.
And I will smile and revel in their misery.

Which Lizard? I think you are the Hudson guy. Peninsula is too far. I'll be your clone (UM shirt) at the Canton Lizard downing some Great Lakes Dortmunder.
God I hope we can get this one. Buckeye people there are ruthless.
I'll take some HAM please!!

I don't think there is any way we win today, I will support the team but really do we actually think we can upset the #1 team in the country with this team? know guys

We played them tough both times, anything is possible. Obviously Sullinger will be a force but Craft will be a key to the game. I hate that guy, but he really harassed our guards.

Keep those "Izzo Meltdown" pics coming--they just never get old.
If we win this game today (which is a huge stretch to be sure), we could easily beat PSU or MSU after they've played for three days straight.
