This one's looking a little more fun. 19-5 Michigan with 9:30 to go in the half.

I feel blasphemous saying this, and I love his raw talent, but Manny is so frustrating to watch sometimes. I think in the last 5 minute stretch he has missed 2 lay-ups, turned it over 3 times, and hucked up an airball. I almost feel like our offense would "operate better" if he would let the game come to him and try to do less. Sweet pass from Morris. Kid is gonna be sweet.

I love Manny too, but dang it, I wish he wouldn't expect to get calls everytime someone plays hard d on him. He keeps looking to the ref for a call when he should be keeping his head and effort in the game. That being said, we'd be crap without him, and as I'm typing this he just drove the lane got fouled and sank a tough shot.

So the announcer just said the hawkeyes have been making a comeback this half. Don't know about you, but falling 2 points further behind is not a comeback to me.

The officiating in college sports on the whole is pretty bad, not much better than the high school level in general, especially in basketball.

I have no idea what a charge is in college basketball anymore. You could cut a guy's fingernail and get whistled for a charge, and the next time down the court you could hold your position for a minute and get run over by a Mazda, and called for a block.
