We Couldn’t Have One Without the Other

This podcast is presented by the Bo Store, UGP & Moe's. Rishi and Ryan have been here since the beginning—shopping with them supports us and supports good dudes who are deeply involved in the Ann Arbor community. It was recorded at the Residence Inn Ann Arbor Downtown—you should probably book your next stay in Ann Arbor there to offset all the free stuff we took.

Speaking of offsetting costs, here’re the people who bought us the set we use to record way more of these than we used to: Homesure Lending, Ann Arbor Elder Law, the the University of Michigan Alumni Association, Deo Bookkeeping, Michigan Law Grad, Defensive Drivers Group, and Peak Wealth Management.

You don’t have to visit them now, but remember to come back to our podcast to get a link when you need them!

1. Tales from Indy Part I: Okie State

starts against 1:00

The best 7-10 game in college basketball history? We’re saying that. Michigan’s three-point shooting was matched by the legit #1 offense in basketball. New developments include DJ Wilson: impact shot-blocker.

2. Tales from Indy Part II: L’llv’lle.

starts at 23:05

AKA the OTHER 40-minute heart attack. The Cardinal survey available poisons and choose the tall bottle with an import sticker—that too is the wrong poison. Was it that or a Pitino long con, because that pump fake drive was there all year. M’s six-man rotation is Don Brown-like in its multiplefromthesamepersonnelness yes that’s a word you want me to prove it fine now it’s a tag on mgoblog.

3. Ace and Brian’s Excellent Gimmicky Top 5 Adventure

starts at 46:22

Now a gimmicky top 5 so grand (whoa), so magnificent, and so vast, it spans 7,000 years (no way!) Brace yourself for a most triumphant Top 5 premise, as two bloggers jump in a time machine that can go back to mid-January, encounter their other, pre-Maverick selves, and unveil the future. Starring: Zak Irvin, Mo Bamba, Beilein players with lip curls, Red, and an odd casting choice for Jules Winfield in the Pulp Fiction remake.

4. The Tournament So Far, plus Oregon Preview and Beyond

starts at 1:06:56

When a 5-seed isn’t chalk in the first round, you’ve seeded badly. Appalling calls, especially those that took the air out of the end of some great games. However the insane seeding did lead to some radical 2nd round games. Bathroom Bill sinks Duke deliciously.

Oregon is without their DJ Wilson—that might mean a lot. As for Kansas, they’re super athletic, and coached only just enough not to step on each other, i.e. not the guys you want to face after a quick turnaround.

I know he doesn't have quite the athleticism, but Derrick Walton is a 2nd round pick, right? He seems like he could be a great backup point guard in the league with his shooting, his ability to run a team, and his rebounding. 

HEAR THAT, NBA? YOU WANT DERRICK WALTON. HE'S THE ONLY GUY ON MICHIGAN WORTH DRAFTING.

Beilein said it in the post-game interview, Ace reiterated it on the podcast, even going so far as to correct Brian: "We won every 4 minutes of the 2nd half"

Not so.  We lost the first 4-minute segment (20min - 16min) and we tied the final 4-minute segment (4min - 0min):

  • Halftime score: UL-36, UM-28
  • 16 minutes remaining: UL-45, UM-36 (-1)
  • 12 minutes remaining: UL-49, UM-44 (+4)
  • 8 minutes remaining: UL-53, UM-53 (+5)
  • 4 minutes remaining: UL-59, UM-63 (+4)
  • Final score: UL-69, UM-73 (+/-0)
