the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

Vintage stauskas taunt haha
"Welllllllll..."
Love the Stauskas 270 bench troll. Cocky as fuck and on any other team I'd hate it but somehow it works for me.
Holy shit Dan Dakich is a fucking cunt. Most negative commentator ever.

Read your second sentence. Then read the first. Is the irony overwhelming yet?

Every time we have a chance to take the lead we run a horrible offensive set!
Hardaway's 2nd of the half, so be rules he's done for the half.
Blank.....Blank......You're not looking at the big picture here.
THJ just picked up his third foul. Wow.
This is MICHIGAN
Stauskas is going to be the most hated player in the B10 when Aaron Craft leaves.

it's ok to drive the lane, but kick it out you know when two big guys are in your face. don't chuck up a prayer.
Nik can do the same run again but pass instead of crashing the board next time :).
Not a good start, only down by 1.
Is McGary playing the 4 when Bielfeldt is in the game with him?

Down a point having survived the inevitable surge Wiscy would get off of playing at home.
On the road, we could be really scary.

Fat ref just needed the TV timeout so he could eat a hotdog
If I tell you it's Easter, you better start looking for eggs.
Some folks call it a sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade.
played well without trey in there for that stretch, good sign to see that.
We need to take smarter shots than some of the ones we've chucked up there.
I'm surprised ESPN doesn't put Walton and Dakich together to announce a Michigan game. That'd be so much fun.
Taking coaching advice from an anouncer is almost definitionally stupid. What is an anouncer but a failed coach?

Except for Doug Collins, he is a good coach and announcer.
I enjoy Manly Bielfeldt rebounds
Me fail English? That's unpossible!
But these refs are horrendous.
You Get Nothing MSU. You Lose, Good Day Sir!
What was horrendous? The Horford block/charge looked wrong from our view, but we never got a decent replay. Regardless, we got the next call.
The only other thing I can think of was the borderline goaltend. Yeah the fan in me wanted it called, but it was pretty damn close and I can't say I'm sure it was moving downward yet.
Gene Seratore is one of the best - he's also an NFL head ref.

Legitimate question, since I get negged for every attempt at promoting civil discussion in a game thread:
Is it possible for the refs to not be terrible? In every game they are "horrendous" and whenever I try to reasonably discuss it, I'm treated like I'm trolling.
Trolling is going to an MSU board and stirring up shit. I'm trying to legitimately discuss something. That used to be the strength of MGoBlog - we were better than the lowest common denominator found at MLive and RCMB.
I'm not calling people out specifically, but the game threads lately have been a bastion of sophomoric bitching and aversion to reasoned debate. I know it is a game thread and emotion will normally trump logic, but still: Can't we hold ourselves to a higher standard?

Trey's not playing the smartest basketball this far, and if Ryan Evand wants to take 15 foot jumpers then please let him.
Blank.....Blank......You're not looking at the big picture here.
that pick and roll can be surgical sometimes
Let's make cancer feel foolish!
Interesting lineup with Spike and Trey
michigan was always in a bind with tim and grIII coming out simultaneously
Let's make cancer feel foolish!
Burke needs to figure out what to do with less than 20 seconds on the clock.
That half was ugly.
EDIT: Sorry for the double. Have this to make up for it.

Good half. A lead at WIsconsin at halftime is always a good half.
Some great minutes from Bielfeldt too!
CoE Class of 2007
I'll take a lead after that start

Albrecht and Bielfeldt quietly played some quality minutes for us

McGary with 2 jumpers today....very nice
