Per the suggestion in the banhammer posts, discuss the game tonight freely.
(And don't make me look like an asshat by flaming the football team here).
that is all
Edit: boy Jimmy doesn't seem too comfortable with mic so far
Hopefully I can get my weekly fix of defense in this game. (Kidding... kidding...)
Seriously pumped for this season though. I can't wait to see what Beilein has in store for us this season. Also can't wait to see Vogrich starting to get his 3-point groove on and Morris getting more comfortable in the system.
YEAH BLUE! Can't wait to see the new group.
Excited for the game tonight. This is the first time I've been this excited for a season start since the depressing Lavell Blanchard and Bernard Robinson Jr. years.
so you should be able to see that with a halfway decent cable/sat provider.
"So I come out of Ohio Stadium after we beat the Buckeyes, and right there on the hood of my friend's car, some one took a dump, in the shape of an 'O'. no shit. Oh, sorry, bad pun."
Oh hey, it is being televised on BTN.
You’re two Reese’s Pieces away from the offensive line.
Section 1 probably thinks the students should sit down.
Willie Heston - 72 touchdowns; 4 National titles; 43-0-1 record; All-American; Law Degree
I lack a halfway decent cable/satellite provider. Any link to a stream?

i havent found anything yet, though furiously trying . . . the BTN has really cracked down on online feeds since the start of fb season...
I don't have cable and was hoping to catch some of these early games streaming on the BTN site. I was looking forward to this because I really wanted to see a Michigan team dominate today...
I like Jimmy King, but speaking extemporaneously is not one of his strong suits.
Gesundheit!

Hey - I'm pretty sure the Big Ten Network calls these guys at 3pm and asks "You doing anything today! No, ok good, want to make a few bucks and do some commentary! OK, just show up at 6, 6:30 and we'll go from there"
The BTN has never struck me as a well oiled machine when you get past the first commentary team
Game a bit sloppy, but the defense and energy is nice to see. It is nice to see Beilein has this team up for the game.
manny's hammy looks pretty good, hes jumping out of the gym, grabbing boards, put backs...and the team is looking very fresh in the all white unis
Morris is looking good out there, and Manny is playing like this is Duke or Kansas, not NMU. Man, this team is going to be fun to watch.
Nice to see the freshman finish at the rack ... that has been an area of weakness for this team through the past few years.

So far they sound pretty good. Can't wait to get somewhere with BTN after the half so I can see them in action.
Gards are so much longer this year with Morris out there. Love him in the zone.
Morris looks like a keeper. Kid seems in control for a true frosh in game 1.
Be nice to see a win here tonight!
Stuck in Columbus.
WOW! - Bball in the UP must really be bad if you are going to the hockey capital of the universe for players
All the good ones go to Tech :)
You’re two Reese’s Pieces away from the offensive line.
has good talent, just ask jevohn shepherd... oh wait never mind..:)
but in all seriousness, canada does have good talent. steve nash has panned out ok and rick fox wasn't half bad. i grew up playing HS ball over in windsor and i played agaisnt a couple of kids that could have played at a low end D-1 high d-2 school easily but college scouts wouldn't make the trip over back then. now the university of windsor runs a tourney every year around x-mas time and invites the best teams from ontario to play. there always a bunch of scouts there looking at players. the other issue is that basketball is sport number 4 in canada that most kids play. hockey of course is number 1, followed by baseball, football and then basketball.
I know there will be like 100 basketball games on the BTN, but does anyone know if each team will be shown on the btn evenly? I assume the games will be on overflow channels as well if there are several games on at once like football.
you can go here to check out the schedule, and if you click on the tv icon next to each game, it'll say on the right, which network is broadcasting it

Not trying to mix the two, but I watch this team, and it makes me think about UM in football. Maybe UM won't make a bowl game this year, but year 3 with your own players and your system thoroughly installed, you can see how good the teams could be.
Nothing like some Beilein basketball to provide some optimism!
I am really liking the defense so far. Sure they are giving up some open shots, but everyone is swarming and denying.
Jimmy King's X factor. so far, that's going to be my takeaway from this game.
I just realized that now we have two players wearing a t-shirt underneath their jersey.
I noticed that too. The look works for college kids for some reason, but looks dumb on anyone else.
Any other students here seriously regretting not getting season tickets? I wish I was at Crisler so bad. Hopefully the resurgence of UM BBall will cause the Athletic Dept. to give "The House That Caz Built" a facelift/replace it/rebuild it.

I'm seriously doubting the game was sold out...why not just go?
BTW, love the KKHHHHHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!! Post. And wouldn't you know it, a priceline Shatner commercial right now.

I walked to the ticket office the day of the last home game of the full Fab Five vs. NW (and anyone with a brain knew Webber was gone after that year), and was able to get like a half dozen tix (admittedly in the upper bowl). Other than HUGE games, I don't think many will be complete sell outs.

Nothing against Jimmy King, but I couldn't help but think of this as he calls the game:
Jesus - He looked pissed on that foul line.
