THE DAILY QUITS! NEWS AT 11

CHIRPILY POSITIVE BASKETBALL SECTION

This was before the UNC-Charlotte game, and therefore it is dated. Ace makes a really good point about how a lesser burden on Walton on offense makes his job in the 1-3-1—running the baseline—more feasible than it was with Burke, who had to hoard his energy. We do not talk about how both of those freshmen losing guys on switches is going to catch up with them soon, possibly as soon as 7:30 PM.

/shakes fist at schedule

OFFENSE

Funchess implodes. Bad numbers. Bad everything. Feelings are bad.

DEFENSE

The usual script: good good good and then Henri The Otter Of Ennui at the end. Frank Clark had a game. Starting linebackers start for a reason.

TALKING BIG TEN WITH JAMIEMAC

Jamie puts an extra significant digit on all his stats. Discussion of getting on team X's level. Wherefore do we go now?

MUSIC

"Across 110th Street."
"Scythian Empires," Andrew Bird
"San Quentin," Johnny Cash
"Another Day Full Of Dread," Bonnie Prince Billy

...well that headline must really make a student-athlete feel even worse than he already does after a loss.

Going into rivalry week and feeling like your own school has given up on you...I don't envy these kids. I don't think I've ever heard this many people saying that they have given up on this team. It's louder now than it was when we were 3-8 and 5-7 a few years ago.

I hope these kids get the full support of every fan in Michigan Stadium this Saturday as they go out and give their best against one of the top teams in the country.

Go Blue.
