Michigan vs South Carolina
Couple of 4-0 teams squaring off. Michigan is coached by a level-headed dude, South Carolina is coached by a raving lunatic. That's about as much as I know of SC. That and they haven't beaten anyone worth a lick.
Total crap start time- 5 PM. Blehhh.

yes, for the Music City Bowl.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:42 AM ^
But in terms of how I feel about the game, pretty tough road test. We are 3.5 road favorites, should be able to cover the spread. Hope they use the momentum from the 2k classic, great defense, nice flow on offense.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:42 AM ^
Actually I wasn't. Glad it was posted.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:44 AM ^
Will be on ESPNU for all of you who weren't aware.
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:09 AM ^
I wasn't fully aware.
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:35 AM ^
I was generally more than likely aware.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:44 AM ^
Of you being a grouch too? I am now.
Sure what the hell, make this the open thread. Didn't see anything posted about the game since I've been basically in a coma from the flu.
Edit, saw your edit. Okay with just you being a minor grouch.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:42 AM ^
Time for the day before Thanksgiving to be an official holiday, since no work is getting done today anyways.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:44 AM ^
With me. Have to go to the stupid DMV after work.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:53 AM ^
Why not just do that online? Unless, of course, you need to get a new license.
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:08 AM ^
Because not every state does that?
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:42 AM ^
...or every country?
November 23rd, 2016 at 11:17 AM ^
The registration information on my car is outdated, I bought a new car so I can't use the current paperwork to update the tabs. Have to go in.
Unless I can do that online and correct the information??
November 23rd, 2016 at 11:43 AM ^
I just got a new car too. I've gotta get it inspected smh.
November 23rd, 2016 at 11:28 AM ^
I have to do the same thing.. renewing my license and get a new picture taken as well.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:54 AM ^
That is the worst thing I've heard today.
+1 to you.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^
Don't tell that to my patients!
November 23rd, 2016 at 11:08 AM ^
Or mine. I'm swamped!
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:45 AM ^
I love a 5pm start. That way I can start drinking at 5 with no remorse! Plus I still get to bed at 9. And for those bar folk u can watch the game and then go out boozing. It's a win win win. Go blue!
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:54 AM ^
Yeah. Completely agree with the start time. I think it's great.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:58 AM ^
that's why I like noon games, can drink at 11 and not feel like and alchy :)
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:07 AM ^
For noon games...being on West Coast, and middle aged, it's perfect. Get up, game day is already on and "noon" games are on at 9 am.
Today, not working..Hang some Christmas lights in 65 degree weather this am, and turn on M BB at 2 pm. Perfect.
I also appreciate the reminder that the game is coming on later. There are plenty of crappy posts to rail on. I'm not nit picking this one.
November 23rd, 2016 at 1:06 PM ^
I used to live in SoCal, still cracked beers for the 9 am start. Shameful, I know :) But hey, I'm in my early 30's, don't have too many Saturday's like that left in the tank!
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:45 AM ^
Actually, I like the 5pm start. Leave work, grab a six pack, order some food and sit back and enjoy watching DJ Wilson posterize some dude. Then it's over by 7.
November 23rd, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^
Great thread.
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:20 AM ^
We'll make sure uncle leo asks your permission before he makes another thread topic.

Should've been a diary.

Ignoring the quality of this thread, this will be a pretty touch game. South Carolina started the year 15-0 last year and barely missed the tournament. They're probably a tourney team this year, and playing them for our first road game of the year will be tough.
They're pretty similar to SMU in terms of play. Big team, slightly larger than SMU, who can rebound really well especially offensively. They also have similar scoring splits to SMU before our game, but they've played a very easy schedule. We held up well rebounding wise to SMU in the first half and then struggled in the second half. This will be a good test for us.
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:26 AM ^
So if they are comparable to SMU Michigan will win easily.

I agree, it'll be a pretty touch game.

On ESPNU... hopefully I can find a stream

WatchESPN?
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:10 AM ^
Doesn't work unless you subscribe to ESPNU on your cable package.
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:41 AM ^
I did not know any company doesn't include ESPNU with ESPN in a base package.

That's how my subscription is set up. I've got Comcast and have ESPN and ESPN2, but not ESPNU.

Yep, I get ESPN, ESPN2, and for some reason even weird stuff like all the Fox Sports and CBS channels, even the freaking NFL Network...
But I don't get ESPNU or ESPNNews.
November 23rd, 2016 at 11:52 AM ^
I have wowway and don't have it or esnpnews, which both were included in my comcast package. Also, wowway is terrible.

I have the same problem. I'm trying to find a friend willing to share their login info.

To be sure, I'll wait until start time to make sure the links are valid.

I doubt these guys mind the 5pm start time compared to a 9pm where they probably wouldn't get back until early Thursday morning. Now they can fly home, relax, and get settled in for a much deserved holiday rest.

South Carolina was a pretty decent team last year that played no one in the non-con and got exposed a bit in conference play, but would have made the Dance if not for a loss to UGA in the SEC Tournament first round.
I do wonder how much of a crowd presence they'll have with many students potentially having already left for Thanksgiving break. OTOH, this and the game against Clemson are their only home games against P5 teams, so maybe the AD has implored students to stick around.
Kenpom predicts Michigan to win by 2.
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:25 AM ^
I'm two hours away, but F&F coming in today for the holiday, so no chance for me. Not too many tiks available on Seat geek, etc, so might be a good crowd. Go Blue!
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:18 AM ^
I'm fine with this post. I just wish it had included a detailed account of Gucci Mane's whereabouts and activities over the past 24 hours.
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:32 AM ^
How is Duncan's form today at the shoot around? Does DJ Wilson even wear pants to practice?
Someone provide answers.
November 23rd, 2016 at 10:48 AM ^
Heading to the game in a couple hours. I haven't seen the MBB team in person since the early 00s, so I am looking forward to it. Would be fantastic to go into the weekend with a shiny 5-0 record!
