Was just going to post that.

Jay Bilas, no less. He has been extremely complimentary of Manny Harris.
December 19th, 2009 at 3:12 PM ^
Bilas was great today - even said that Michigan still has the talent to be a tournament team this year.
Holly Rowe on the other hand.... good lord. I wanted to shoot her.
December 19th, 2009 at 5:37 PM ^
Even though she was wearing a complete outfit of 100% biodegradable bamboo?

of ravenous pandas. That could turn ugly quick.

"Hail to the Victors is the best fight song ever, hands down."
Old news
December 19th, 2009 at 12:38 PM ^
Too bad it's just called "The Victors".
Still, I appreciate the sentiment.
December 19th, 2009 at 1:08 PM ^
I know you MMB people take it seriously, but please, don't.
December 19th, 2009 at 2:10 PM ^
Only a Dukebag would misidentify it as "Hail to the Victors."
December 19th, 2009 at 4:41 PM ^
and I hate when it's mislabeled.
December 20th, 2009 at 11:02 AM ^
the Billboard charts version is
"(Hail to) The Victors"
So the OP is somewhat correct
December 19th, 2009 at 2:14 PM ^
Is anyone else as surprised as I am how he went out of his way to compliment Michigan? I mean, he was saying we were "back in the game" when we clearly weren't and he said we would be ranked again before the season is over. Hope he's right, but that's a serious stretch. What's gotten into him?
December 19th, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
He's really high on Sims and Harris having worked with them at various camps in the off-season. He even went out of his way to say that you can't find many better kids than DeShawn during the game after he was benched with 4 fouls.
It's refreshing to see someone, especially Bilas, not splitting hairs when there are good things to be said.
December 19th, 2009 at 10:56 PM ^
But I am not.
I see learning at least one foreign language in Manny's future.
I'd hate to see him leave after this year--he'll be drummed out of the NBA quickly.
I see him as a player without a position in the NBA. I don't think he is fast enough or handles the ball well enough to be anything but maybe a shooting guard.
Sorry, but like I said: foreign languages. There's good money to be made in the Trans-Siberian Basketball Association (TSBA).
December 19th, 2009 at 2:36 PM ^
Yeah Jay Bilas really was talking up Michigan a ton this game. I thought he'd be more balanced in his discussions about Kansas and Xavier Henry, but he just couldn't stop about Michigan and Manny.
Doesn't bother me though. I'll always love me some Michigan fluff.
December 19th, 2009 at 2:46 PM ^
This was a complete 180 from the Manny-Purdue game last year
December 20th, 2009 at 9:49 AM ^
If it weren't for that comment, the game would have been awful. Between the incessant "green" references and our inability to make wide open threes, the game was fairly unwatchable. I can't believe that Jay Bilas and whatever dope announced the game with him was the highlight of my day.
