It wasn't like you started it ten minutes later.
It was just a minute. Takes that long to type it up.
Edit: might need a little explanation with the posts already in there, but as someone suggested to e once, you could just edit it and turn it into a Fiesta Bowl open thread. We're going to need it later anyway.

Win-win
Because of the NBA lottery contract Trey Burke is obviously going to sign after this year, he made more money by coming back than he would have by going out last year. Really, everybody wins here. Better yet, more players might follow his example and not leave Michigan until they are certain first round picks, preferably in the upper half.

I'm always so disappointed when Stauskas misses. Not so much because we need the points, but I want to see him get up to 60%. Or at least stay above 55% through Big Ten play, even it's not realistic. Kid can shoot.

Great start to B10
If you are looking for improvement over an obviously dominant performance, here are two:
1. Did not look great defensively inside. Lotsa good big men in the conference this year. Hopefully, Horford is back sometime mid-month.
2. Gave up a lot of open threes. Almost all of which after we were up 20+, but do not want to do that against, say, Illinois.
But, yeah -- great start and just came out of the blocks on fire.

On the replay shot of Stauskus' first 3 point make, there's a fan in purple right behind the basket cheering. LOL! That must be poster Wendyk5 who said the family had to wear purple if they wanted those seats.

We couldn't do it. They actually gave us a stack of purple shirts to put on, and we couldn't do it. So there we were, surrounded by good samaritans - some genuine NW fans, some Michigan fans - all wearing purple. But we did refrain from cheering for Michigan. I instructed everyone not to, and they abided. Hardest thing we ever had to do. Confession: I clapped, but i kept my hands low so no one would see them.

Michigan put the smack down
Michigan came out with intensity on both ends of the floor and scored a knockout after 5 minutes. I would like to see better defense for 40 minutes (I am greedy...I know) but, damn, they look impressive. Trey Burke is the best player in the country and this team is flat out loaded. I look forward to watching every game and wouldn't miss a second of it. I don't want to start looking ahead to Jan. 13th just yet but........

Was at the game tonight
Was a great showing by the maize and blue on the court and in the stands. Gotta love that it was easily 2/3 rd Michigan fans. Gotta say, one of my favorite moments was Hardaway hyping up the crowd during one of the TV timeouts! Anybody else at the game catch that? After close wins and loses the last few years at Welsh Ryan, a blow out was much easier on my nerves! Hail!

Straw men.
Never said Beilein wasn't a great coach; said that saying there were numerous data points that show he's a better coach than Izzo is silly, because Izzo has accomplished far more. One can be great and not the best.
Using "all the players programs didn't want" as the reason for his greatness when they took the next step this season due to a lot of players teams DID want in his highest ranking recruiting class is a poor example.
But no, beating up on a horrid Northwestern team doesn't make one great. That's what should be expected. In the actual example, no one would ever say "Izzo's team just housed Northwestern; he's a great coach." You reach great status when doing that isn't a big deal. Since you're obviously a little slow, let me spell it out for you- the fact that Northwestern sucks doesn't make the team or the coach not great; it just doesn't really prove it either. That will come when playing Indiana, Ohio State, Minnesota, and yes, MSU. It'll also be proven when we actually win more than a game in the Tournament this year. Beilein didn't become a better coach since last year; he just has better players.
But thanks for playing; it was kinda cute. Now off to bed for you to sleep it off.

"when writing, less is more."
Says the guy who took three posts over a half hour to make his point. (And still in denial that you wrote more than i did last time). My "basketball IQ" may be low, but at least I'm smart enough to know how to use an edit function.
This reaction, you're either drunk, or emotionally unstable, or both. That you're still butthurt about being pantsed in an argument days ago says you need to get a grip. I didn't really give you a second thought after it. You've obviously been carrying some serious issues for awhile now since that's all you can think about. Seek professional help. It's not too late.
January 4th, 2013 at 1:02 AM
#1435
That's because you don't back your arguments with any facts.
You're just the guy telling me I can't say the tooth fairy doesn't exist, because "that's just like your opinion, man."
And your "responded in three points" claim still shows you're not bright enough to use the "edit" function (which is bullshit because it took you over 30 minutes to formulate your thoughts...either you're really slow, or so worked up you're frothing at the mouth). You remember because that's all you've thought about for days; how M-Wolverine made me look silly on the Internet. Because that's all you've posted about for days.
Being able to recognize even our rival's accomplishments just makes one rational. You should try it some time rather than basing everything on how you "feel." But you have trouble controlling your emotions, don't you?
Maybe you should go back to posting once every 4 weeks about how you don't like the Spartans or how much basketball you think you know. Save yourself the embarrassment.
January 4th, 2013 at 1:29 AM
#1436
You seem to care a whole lot. (Guy who negged the OP)
Since it's all you care about. I just think you're kinda funny. In denial. And unable to use the brevity you claim is so valuable yourself. Took two seconds to click on you to see all you've posted for a week is this exact same thing. Might want to proof read what you bold there though*. Because I don't care what assholes like you think of me. I just think it's funny to get under your thin skin.
*Well, if nothing else came of this, I taught you how to use the edit function. Though it is funny a guy who admits he's trolling the RCMB because of his Michigan State obsession is calling other people trolls. Did a Spartan steal your bike or something? Grow up.
I just caught in your edit...you're on drugs right now? Never mind, I understand your posts now.

Get off the drugs.
Don't go through life fat, stupid, and lazy.
And we all know you just freak out if I have the last word so that's all you're doing.
But if you want to put any money on that "undefeated" in March thing, let me know. In THIS Big Ten? (Of course, you still miss the fact that the goal is to be undefeated in games played in April. If that happens you might have an argument).
January 4th, 2013 at 1:38 AM
#1438
How about we do this:
Agree that Beilein is a great coach? I think you both would agree. Agree that Izzo has a great resume? I think you both would agree. The differences? Let's wait and see those hashed out rationally on the next "Beilein > Izzo" or "Beilein < Izzo so far" threads. Keeping this going isn't doing anything to help that discussion.
