My grandparents lived right down the road from the Grumman complex in Bethpage and my childhood best friend's dad was a project manager on the lunar module program at Grumman.  Small world.

Great discussion this morning on 97.1 about if Michigan qualifies as a "Cinderella Story" in this year's tourney. Some were yes (500-1 odds in mid-February), some no (UM is too big a brand for that). My take is that it certainly feels like a Cinderella Story, whether UM qualifies for that or not. Great story...

And watched the whole Illinois BTT game. No school due to power issue. Being he is 10, he liked Morgan and was quiet the first half. Then I told him of Morgan's comment of our beloved Wolverines and what white and blue collar meant. The second half my son had an "Enthusiasm Unknown to Mankind".

Random question, but what is the theme song to the Dak and Dunc show? I asked WD, but heard crickets. Thanks to anyone who may know!

Playing with house money right now.  I mean . . . WE WON THE FUCKING B1G TITLE!  Totally unexpected.  Just enjoying the ride and hoping they pull off a UConn a la 2014 (7 seed winning the title).

Is it a coincidence that Maverick Morgan has the same initials as the last guy who motivated our team to great heights: Mitch McGary? I think not.

Terry Mills -- T-Mills to these Wolverines -- played in Ann Arbor during Michigan's lone championship season in 1989 and is a close spectator of this current crew from his perch as radio analyst. He watches this team and sees it hitting the sweet spot: "Their confidence is at an all-time high," he says. "But they're calm. They're really calm."

On the show I do, we talked about things like "confidence" and "toughness" and all these things that we didn't feel like we were seeing consistently, and then the rest of the season happened and they found that groove and are poised for a deep run. It really has been fun to watch and hopefully will continue to be fun this evening.

Is something Hollywood couldn't script. JB's leadership and humility, the seniors stepping up, practice jerseys and biscuits, and the plane crash. We have the momentum and have beat every team with whatever they threw out way.

This is a season never to be forgotten.
