nice.  livers looks a little leaner and of course he made a 3.  castleton might have put on a few pounds (all weight gain or weight loss is good).  glad for JH, i think he's going to do very well.   i also want to see him shake izzo's hand where izzo is looking up at him like tattoo looked up at mr. rourke

With racism you mistreat, abuse, make fun of, etc. based on something the victim was born with and can't do anything about, isn't "wrong" in the 1st place, and shouldn't be "blamed" for.

Your height, on the other hand, is totally the choice of each person, like being gay, right? Of course it shows your bad character if you choose to be short, so your heightism is nothing at all like racism and is totally cool and fine.

Ya, a Trump voter who's username is appologizing for his kids blackness doesnt need to lecture anyone on taking anything too seriously.

Why is it that everytime I log in here (almost never) your in every fucking thread. Like, go raise your kids or something. Or dont. I'm sure you dont.

rod, didn't you get blocked/bolivia'd by the mods last time you jumped one of my posts?  

there must be a ton of turmoil and hurt in your life.  i hope it gets better.   and as for the kids, a number of bloggers here have met many or all of them, so you can ask them how we've been doing.

I've met XM and several of his kids on a few different occasions over the last 5 years, and let me tell you this: you couldn't be more wrong about him.  And his kids?  As respectful or more so than almost any I've ever met.

You, OTOH, seem to have a warped obsession with attacking XM.  Like you indicated, you seldom post.  But more often than not, when you do post, your posts seem to center on going after XM, totally unprovoked.

Get help.

Wait ... height is totally a choice? You mean I could have been 6'4" all this time?

Could I also have had chisled features, rock-hard abs, and thick hair that shone like corn silk in the morning sun?

Shit. I always find these things out too late.

Oh well. At least I've got the comfort of knowing that Keith Jackson is still alive.

HEY SNOWFLAKE, what gives with you and your obsession with "heightism"???  You have done this tirade before, and while I do not clear 6 feet, I can laugh at myself for being vertically challenged.  

BTW Napoleon, we only pick on tiny tom because he is a rival who is a PRIMO scumbug of a human being - and even that last part is debatable.

Da fuck is "heightism"???

I'm 5'5", and all my life I've dealt with being picked last for pick-up games - despite always holding my own regardless of the sport.  I've been overlooked in a crowded room at work because people don't think the little guy has much to offer - until I point out where they're wrong.  I've heard every height joke you can think of.  So I speak from a life of experience when I say this - FUCK OFF!!!

"Heightism"...  That is the dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard, and you're a fucking idiot for even thinking it.

(BTW, I think the handle 'Xtramelanin' is imaginative, descriptive, fun, and thoughtful.)

Can't believe Howard didn't pick up a grad transfer who can shoot.  This team has effective anchors in Zavier in Teske but who is going to score?  

Not optimistic on this team getting to the touney.

This is the true concern...one that the ostriches are totally tone deaf on. An offense that runs through Simpson and Teske is doomed-plain and simple. Here, why the truth is a negative is baffling. Howard's (major) task will be to find these two effective secondary roles. And we will see how those, now sophomores, have progressed. Howard seems very no nonsense...this could get very interesting from a variety of angles.

What a dumb take...  You think he didn't look at the grad transfers that were available?  Do you realize he had all but zero time to recruit one?  Maybe he just didn't think they were viable enough to actually get PT at Michigan?  Maybe he just likes the team he has?

Shooting is a liability we all know about, and JH does also.  That doesn't change if Beilein had stayed, either.  The simple fact is that new players step up each year, so we have to hope one of the shooters can step up (Nunez being the most prominent).  But there is a lot of talent on this team, including the outstanding PG and C positions.

Instead of being a whiny-ass douchy asshole, already claiming the team sucks and its hopeless, why not just accept it for what it is and hope for the best?
