Yea there isn’t a single…

Yea there isn’t a single player that is a must keep.  Pretty much says it all about the end of the Juwan era. 

That never really bothered…

That never really bothered me.  
 

What bothered me was his HORRIBLE roster construction and lack of player development.     That was evident 2-3 years ago. 

Whatever.  We basically need…

Whatever.  We basically need to add an entirely new roster.  

Unreal.  Can’t we just be…

Unreal.  Can’t we just be drama free for one full month?

Seems odd given the state of…

Seems odd given the state of college hoops is way worse than when JB left and he’s not any younger. 

The Athletic had an amazing…

The Athletic had an amazing article the other week about Josh Shertz.  Super interesting background and worth a look.  May take Indiana St to first tourney berth in a long time.

Seems like a perfect fit for Michigan in many ways.  Hope it happens!  

I LOVED those ads.  Those…

I LOVED those ads.  Those were brilliant. 

He hasn’t played for…

He hasn’t played for Michigan and I frankly doubt he ever does.  The program is a disaster and either Juwan stays as a complete dead duck or they start a rebuild under a new coach. Under either scenario keeping our current commits seems very unlikely. 

I’d rather play FYS but I…

I’d rather play FYS but I think you are right that it probably doesn’t matter much. 

I’ve got 3 tickets for the…

I’ve got 3 tickets for the hockey game this Saturday against ND.  Just looking to get back the $30 per ticket that I paid since we can no longer go.

An entire NCAA tournament…

An entire NCAA tournament caliber  roster and coaching staff needs to be added but I doubt that happens in one off season. 

Juwan’s problems with roster…

Juwan’s problems with roster construction have been evident for years.  He always just took dudes without regard to how they fit on the roster or how their skills meshed.   He was the king of tweeter forwards at the expense of guards and shooters. 

What a friggin joke. Juwan…

What a friggin joke. Juwan should have been canned months ago. Apparently zero tolerance has no meaning to the AD.  

in response to the most embarrassing season of Michigan basketball in decades, I am sure Warde will dick around and do nothing until he’s forced to just like with the Mel situation.  

I could obviously be wrong…

I could obviously be wrong but Tuttle seems more in line O'kornish abilities than Cade.   I guess it's a nice floor for the program, but I hope like hell one of the other 4 can step up and give us a higher ceiling.  

The whole thing is egregious…

The whole thing is egregious.  14 teams?!?   What a joke.   

Just another money grab that…

Just another money grab that will dilute the sport that is already slowly being killed of all tradition and sanity. 

Yea that is weird and not…

Yea that is weird and not fair to the season ticket holders. 

I love Mikey, but that ain’t…

I love Mikey, but that ain’t happening. The lions need a pure outside CB, not another slot guy which they have in spades.  

Bring back Dutch!!!

Bring back Dutch!!!

The Hoops program is totally…

The Hoops program is totally dead on and off the floor.   Juwan wasn’t alone in killing it, but he bears the majority of the blame.  
 

I don’t trust Warde at all to do what is necessary to bring it back to life and I fear another decade in the wilderness like the pre-Beilein era. 

Too bad for him and too bad…

Too bad for him and too bad for us if this just gives Warde another excuse not to make a coaching change  

obviously this season was a disaster before this, but when has Warde ever been guided by obvious facts and logic?

The old adage is if you have…

The old adage is if you have two starting QB’s you have none.  this coaching staff will have its work cut out for them sorting through 5 guys who all have some positive attributes but none of which who have played much or have a clear edge in talent. 

Interesting but how do they…

Interesting but how do they just ignore the home/ road splits?!?

And so it begins…

And so it begins…

Of course.  Sigh…

Of course.  Sigh…

Or in other words, Warde…

Or in other words, Warde bent over and said thank you sir, may I have another?

The hoops program is a dumpster fire inside of a train wreck under a shitstorm.

Sam said the opposite on today's Roundtable.   He said the players are excited about the possibility of Wink being their game show host...I mean game day coordinator.

Sadly that would be peak Ohio and a repeat of the Urban Meyer situation where Vrabel gets to be coach in waiting and able to step right in and the program doesn't miss a beat, whereas in Ann Arbor every coaching transition includes PAIN.  

Finally, some positive…

Finally, some positive coaching news!

I like the sounds of Lucas!  What are his ties to Cullen?

Is this seriously the best…

Is this seriously the best we can do?!?  He may be a perfectly fine NFL D-Line coach, but he has almost no experience as a DC or as a college level coach/recruiter.  

Exactly right and this is…

Exactly right and this is why I rolled my eyes years ago when everyone talked about how NIL would level the playing field for Michigan and its mythical “money cannon.”  Michigan never has and never will “play like that.”

Christ.  If Sherrone thinks…

Christ.  If Sherrone thinks that the only people worth hiring are those that at some point coached for the Ravens then we really are fucked for the forseeable future. 

What about some up and coming coaches who can actual recruit and like being in a college program?  

It is unreal, and it seems…

It is unreal, and it seems to happen in multiple sports.  It's like we just don't want to have continued success in anything.   No other school punches themselves in the dong as much as we do.  

I can't quit Michigan…

I can't quit Michigan football, but last year likely the nadir of my fandom for various reasons:

1) The traditions of college football that I grew up with have mostly been eradicated, and what little remains gets whittled away year by year. 

2) I still love tailgating and watching games with friends and fellow alums, but the in stadium experience gets worse every year with tv timeouts, stupid scheduling and in game nonsense. 

3) Plus you have the ever increasing absurdity of decisions from the Big Ten and the NCAA.

4) And now they have completely cheapened the meaning of the Game by setting up a stupid system where in there is a chance that the 2 teams could play 3 times in a single year and often at least twice per year.  

That is what made the 2023 season so amazing and special.  It was the last time that each single game had so much importance and meaning, particularly down the stretch.  

Jesus. Now our pets heads…

Jesus. Now our pets heads are falling off!

Of all the horrible,…

Of all the horrible, irrational and useless institutions (and there are many) the NCAA has to be the worst.

Good for Jay.  It was time for him to move out of Dad's shadow.

Jeez.   So sad to see Juwan flailing and failing like this.  
 

This has to be his last season, right?  RIGHT?!?
