Lets hope we come out of the gate like we did against them last time we played. Hopefully the team we saw last week is here to stay for the rest of the season.

Gouden Carolus
I bought this belgian specialty from the Anker brewery since 13oo's for x-mas decor and am killing it in honor of simms's trey and the team effort tonight. This ale is well worth even a seemingly lofty asking price. Damn, how come the belgians don't dominate in all things and yet commonly fail to qualify for the world cup. They rule in brewing. From the cork to the cage to the label to looking at the product in a glass...wow. It has a bit of the winter ale sweetness I usually don't like but this it a cut above and worth it on a special occasion, like beating Iowa on the road. HEll yaeh.

It is because you are a true blooded fan. Through and through. Win or lose, it doesn't matter. The team, for better or worse, has a hold on your heart, your psyche.

all the original plays on Michigan's name.
"Make Michigan" on the front and "Our Bichigan" on the back.
Also have seen an "Ann Arbor is a Whore" shirt.
All they need is a "Wal-Mart Wolverine" one to complete the cycle.
I know Iowa is really bad, but Lickliter should really have trouble looking his team in the face when he gives his munchkin son 7-10 minutes a game

Basically as you say...LLP
Basically as you say...LLP hit a few, they ended up tying us on a couple free throws after time expired. Don't really know how they caught up there, except that we missed a bunch in a row. Sims struggled...missed several at point blank. Still shooting 52% but it seems like it's worse because of the drought at the end of the half.

Agree
A little out of context here, but I don't really think Beilein will get us to national championship calibur. I don't think that's what he was hired for though. I see him as coaching for 7-9 years, making 5 or 6 NCAA tournaments, being a consistent factor and not a joke. Then you bring in someone who takes the next step.

I think he said
"toe hop" but it still looked like he lifted it off the ground and should have been called a travel.
[EDIT] nevermind just say the replay n he did say "crow hop"... Jim Jackson is an idiot.

I wish Bobby Knight was announcing this game. At least that way, everyone would know the refs are calling all the tick tacks on us.
February 17th, 2010 at 1:09 AM
#1355
Among other reasons...
The brilliance of Coach Knight's commentary last week just makes it that much harder to listen to the hacks BTN has decided to employ. I won't pretend to know much about basketball, but I feel like tonight's color commentary made me dumber.

Boy am I happy
to see Cully Payne suck it up here at the end of regulation/OT. He has immediately become one of the more annoying B10 players for me, based largely on his name and those ridiculous shorts

What a relief. I had to listen on cbssports.com which is always annoying, but happy to get the win. I have no illusions of a magical run, but it would be nice if we could finish with big ten record above .500
February 17th, 2010 at 12:31 AM
#1426
Above .500
seems like too much to ask at this point. "Assume" wins over PSU and Minnesota at home and you have to win two out of three vs. Ill, @OSU, @MSU. It'd be nice, but I'd be shocked.

All they got to do is get hot at the right time. Outside of Purdue I don't feel there is any other team in the Big Ten that Michigan couldn't beat if they were playing well.
February 17th, 2010 at 12:31 AM
#1428
so if you could have 3 plays back
which ones would you take? Sims v. msu, manny's foul v. northwestern (we were up 1), and the late turnover v. bama. Win those 3 and we are probably on the bubble similar to last year. Fuck!!!! good win though. Go Blue!
February 17th, 2010 at 12:35 AM
#1429
Agreed.
That goes to show that this year isn't really all that different from last year. Last year those things all seemed to work out, this year they don't. Obviously we didn't see the improvement we were hoping for / assuming, but I don't think they're necessarily any worse than they were last year.
I like to equate '09 UM hoops to '06 Tigers baseball. Everything fell into place when it needed too. Then you have '10 UM hoops and '07 Tigers baseball. Theoretically better teams than the previous year that just didn't have things go their way.

DVR Fail
I wish it didn't take extra steps to set my DVR (U-Verse) to record an extra 30 minutes. That 3-pointer to force OT was so exciting, but the realization that my recording ended in 3 minutes was so unexciting.
February 17th, 2010 at 1:06 AM
#1433
Pro Tip - Just schedule the
Pro Tip - Just schedule the DVR to record the program immediately following all live events, unless it conflicts with your scheduled recording of Golden Girls.
I have Tivo, (Old School, Loyalty) and anytime you schedule a recording of a live event it prompts you to select how much extra time.
February 18th, 2010 at 1:21 PM
#1434
Tip well taken
Yeah, I should've known better - I do this sometimes (especially for football games... you'd think somebody would know how long those last, by now), but thought that I would catch up to Live and this wouldn't even be an issue.
Comcast has the same prompt for live events - that's one of the few things they have done better than U-Verse, really.

watched earlier
and now watching the replay. I don't think people understand how much Sims does for this team offensively. In what I believe was only the final minute of regulation he has a put back and 1, another and 1 off penetration, and arguably the clutchest three of the year to tie the game. All in ONE minute.
Gonna miss him.

Lickliter has to be the worst
Lickliter has to be the worst coach in the country. No foul on the last play of the game when you're up by 3? That's why your team is garbage.
