I love 2014!
February 4th, 2014 at 9:17 AM ^
Is not "news" so much.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:20 AM ^
Unless you're a big fan of fresh baked bread with pepper.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:27 AM ^
or donuts. mmm...donuts. Hold the pepper.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:27 AM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 1:27 PM ^
and if you're not, well fuck you too.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:21 AM ^
I remember when Jesus tweeted the same thing...
February 4th, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
But some people claim it was a fake account.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:28 AM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 10:20 AM ^
But it was @TheRealJesus
February 4th, 2014 at 4:37 PM ^
It was @ItsJeeesus No fake blue check mark or anything
February 5th, 2014 at 10:14 AM ^
Jesus turned water into wine, and Mitch turned the Syracuse zone into swiss cheese. You're right, similarities abound!
February 4th, 2014 at 11:31 AM ^
But the hashtag thing ("#TheReturn") might have meaning - I guess it implies he's now beginning rehab?
These kids and their "Twitters" and such. What ever happened to a good ol' telegram?
February 4th, 2014 at 9:18 AM ^
Mitch is getting ready for Tourny beast mode. Me likey
February 4th, 2014 at 9:20 AM ^
I don't think there's much to take away from that other than things are seemingly going as well as expected. While that is good, it's maybe not exactly news. I could also say I'm up early on the grind.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:23 AM ^
How is your back doing?
February 4th, 2014 at 9:51 AM ^
not convinced that he is 100% not coming back this year. "Indefinitely" does mean something different in sports than "for the season," and the word that has been used exclusively to describe Mitch's status has been "indefinitely." He looks mobile and without any noticeable movement restrictions on the bench, and looks fully engaged with this team and what is happenning on the floor.
If he was conclusively out for the season I think those words would have been used already. I hope he's "up early on the grind" putting in work to see if he can make it back for the end of the season because from what I have heard(or not heard), though possibly unlikely, I don't think it is completely out of the equation.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:03 AM ^
not convinced that you didn't just use the old Dan Dierdorf double negative routine to make a speculative point.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:06 AM ^
him being out for the season is every bit as speculative.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:10 AM ^
that you didn't just miss the joke I was going for there.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:20 AM ^
I got it.
My side-splitting laughter is just wrapping up right now.
February 4th, 2014 at 11:37 AM ^
I'm not sure I don't understand what you're not saying about what Dan Dierdorf used to do or not do routinely. But I'm not sure I'm not wrong about that. I would not want to speculate any further.
February 4th, 2014 at 2:07 PM ^
+1 Impressive
February 4th, 2014 at 2:24 PM ^
that wasn't the best Dan Dierdorf imitation I've ever read.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:21 AM ^
Every day is a blessing. There's your good news. News'd
February 4th, 2014 at 9:22 AM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 10:42 AM ^
You have no idea how good some sleep feels. I would so much rather be in bed right now, and you can interpret that however you like.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:28 AM ^
...back surgery was to eliminate the grinding.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:35 AM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 9:31 AM ^
So if I'm reading the tea leaves here it appears that McGary got up this morning. And then after he was up he started doing things -what with him now being up and all.
That clearly IS good news.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:22 AM ^
...and tonite it will be #TheRepose
February 4th, 2014 at 9:33 AM ^
#TheReturn is trending right now.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:59 AM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 9:35 AM ^
I mean #TheRuturn doesn't lay out a time table for return to the court, but the fact that he's rising and grinding suggests progress on his condition. It's good news, at the least.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:42 AM ^
but sometimes it's only because I have to piss.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:51 AM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 9:42 AM ^
I woke up early and was on my grind this morning! Does that mean I'm going to be playing for Michigan basketball this year too?
February 4th, 2014 at 9:43 AM ^
I thought this was good news about Malik McDowell.
February 4th, 2014 at 9:50 AM ^
I don't see how this can be painted as good news. The title should be "McGary tweets something. No apparent change in return timeline"
February 4th, 2014 at 9:52 AM ^
It is good news. It was mentioned in a presser the other day that he hadn't even started rehabbing the back, but it looks like he's starting to now. Could be back in time for the tourney.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:02 AM ^
FIFY.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:21 AM ^
everywhere but on MGoBlog.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:31 AM ^
If you aren't familiar with The Kids these days, "the grind" is synonymous with "the things I have to do." It includes classwork, film study, yoga, grocery shopping, etc. So saying he's back on the grind doesn't mean he's lifting heavy objects or anything.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:39 AM ^
Not to mention that Kids These Days tend to tweet whatever the F pops into their heads. Adreian Payne tweeted that he would play against Michigan. Doesn't mean he did.
February 4th, 2014 at 10:44 AM ^
The use of #TheReturn suggests it might.
February 4th, 2014 at 11:09 AM ^
Yes, but I think "#TheReturn" at least mildly suggests that he's started rehabbing.
February 4th, 2014 at 11:27 AM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 11:53 AM ^
February 4th, 2014 at 12:43 PM ^
intensive purposes, I agree with that statement.
