Found ESPNU on my Comcast menu....
didn't think I even had it. (Edit: Channel 708 on Comcast) Also got it programmed to record on my other TV. And of course I'll be tuned in at 5:00. I'm getting real anxious now. You'd think after all these years I'd be more relaxed about this. I've followed almost all the big battles over top prospects, all the way back to Magic Johnson and Clark Kellogg. It goes both ways, but I have a good feeling about today. Go Blue!

I was excited until today
I was excited until today
Call me a pessimist, but with the overwhelming majority saying it's going to be UM, and the fact that McGary has been been pretty private about the whole situation I'm just getting a bad feeling. We know his coach like UM and his parents like Duke. We know what Mitch has said in his blogs, but I think all of the pro-UM sentiment is simply conjecture and guesses. I give us a 60% shot right now, but I'm ready for both possiblities tonight. Ultimate i think having GRIII in the class is what pushes him to commit to UM.
November 3rd, 2011 at 3:51 PM |
You're a pessimist. You also make no sense.

You're pessimistic, yet you think he'll be pushed to UM? What are you a Duke fan?

Sorry for being confusing
Sorry for being confusing
I just get the sense that most people think that MM is already a done deal. I explained myself poorly before. I think having GRIII gives us slightly better odds (60%) but I still think there's a very good chance he picks Duke and it's not as definite as a lot of journalists have made it seem. I did a very bad job of explaining that before.

Final Sales Pitch on ESPNHS
Final Sales Pitch on ESPNHS
Pretty funny reading from ESPNHS...
http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/boys-basketball/
They have the final pitch from fellow commits from three final schools.
The following quote from GRIII caught my attention...
You’ll get so much more attention here. We’ve got a great academic reputation, of course, and we’ve got some of the best looking girls in the country. Everything that you want and need is here at Michigan.
I am guessing GRIII really has not spent much time on the campus...
November 3rd, 2011 at 4:00 PM |
I am guessing GRIII has not
I am guessing GRIII has not
I am guessing GRIII has not spent much time on other campuses. Michigan's girls could be some of the best looking if you don't have other college girls to compare to. But for me, after visiting Ole Miss, it's all downhill from there.
November 3rd, 2011 at 4:13 PM |
I've visited a couple SEC
I've visited a couple SEC
I've visited a couple SEC schools now, and have found the girls to be quite overrated. They are definitely more friendly down there, but really nothing special in terms of looks.
The problem Michigan has is that there are very few blonde girls. For someone who didn't even look at brunettes before coming to school here, it definitely took some adjusting. Once I started looking at the brunettes, I realized that there are actually some very attractive girls.

Prep work
The biggest difference is the amount of time girls in the South spend getting ready for even the most mundane of occurrences. Putting on a dress will give (almost) any girl at least a +1 bump from yoga pants, uggs, and hoodie.

Me, too!
Me, too!
As a brunette female, I had the same problem - not enough blonde guys. And not enough hot guys. Not enough guys with great bodies, or even better, body builders. Not enough guys who wore muscle t's or mesh tank tops or who spent a ton of time working on themselves. But after I came to school here, I realized that you could just close your eyes and pretend you were with a hot quarterback. Oh, it took a 12-pack to get to that point. But I got there.

Every school has good looking girls, but some have more than others. A star athlete is likely to have more contact with the best looking girls on campus. The rest of us? Well, we hit the parties and have 7, maybe 18 beers and then they all look the same anyway!

they wait until the end of the show to have him announce, so I'm guessing it'll be close to as long as the Cullen Christian one.
