Substitute any number of groups for Catholics and the reaction would be far worse. There is a way to poke a little good natured fun but he failed.

3 weeks 1 day ago	Sounds like the Michigan has	Sounds like the Michigan has found its way into Mr. Terry's head.  Just think how miserable he will be when he sees Harris snagging balls for the Wolverines and then has to face their defense.  That should help illustrate (and we know the Spartans do best with pictures) what the Michigan recruits are now talking about.

7 weeks 1 day ago	I say, AND NOT BECAUSE I	I say, AND NOT BECAUSE I AGREE WITH HIM, good for him for expressing his beliefs.  Let his views be marginalized by the onward march of culture not fear or censorship.

8 weeks 3 days ago	I am really going to miss	I am really going to miss this team.  I don't know that I've ever followed a team that so often just had me with nothing to do but smile as I watched. Oh, and great video.
8 weeks 4 days ago	I completely agree.  Stauskas	I completely agree.  Stauskas has a lot of work to do this off-season.  LeVert does too but I think in addition to his natural talent edge he's more versatile.  Moreover, as you said, I expect Irvin to be the starter which is going to make Caris' defense, ball handling and ability to run the offense a more valuable first off the bench option.
8 weeks 4 days ago	What happens if Beilein ends	What happens if Beilein ends up with the same problem he had this season...his best 5 players are a PF, 3 SF/SGs and a PG?  And I hope he makes the same decision...go with the lineup that wins.
8 weeks 4 days ago	No, the move is being made	No, the move is being made because they expect to have the roster balance and talent distribution to make it work.  They didn't have a better option at 4 to start this season, McGary wasn't prepared (injury and conditioning) to play many minutes, let alone PF.  Horford's early injury further jammed up any plans.
8 weeks 5 days ago	I never thought Mitch would leave. The joint	I never thought Mitch would leave. The joint press conference seems like a good time for the new faces of the program to announce they are coming back to lead the team next season.

8 weeks 6 days ago	He disappeared only if you measure productivity by	He disappeared only if you measure productivity by a box score. He was a team leader, a calming influence, the second scorer focus of defenses that helped open up opportunities for Robinson and Stauskas, etc. He will be missed.
8 weeks 6 days ago	I think a part of the	I think a part of the Hardaway Most Improved Award was earned by his attitude.  There was no head hanging and no losing his guy on defense after a bad offensive sequence.  He stepped up and with Trey, helped fill the leadership void left by Stu and Novak's graduation.

9 weeks 3 days ago	I didn't think they got	I didn't think they got signing bonuses as rookies.  If I remember right there is a rookie pay scale, with something like a $2.5 million annual gap between the first and tenth pick.  Your point remains though, it would take a long time to make that kind of money in the pedestrian world.  If you go in the first round you are looking at close to $2 million for two years, before the team option and then the player option kicks in.
9 weeks 4 days ago	In his post-game comments following the last game	In his post-game comments following the last game Trey talked about his relationship with Beilein. It seemed clear that he has learned a lot and understands now what Beilein was trying to teach him. It sounded like what was once a source of frustration has turned into a strength and he said he would always love JB. All this is to say only that Trey will make sure his decision is sound, he loves his coach and teammates in a way he didn't last year. I think he will leave but I respect the hell out of his maturity and thoughtfulness.
10 weeks 17 hours ago	Michigan allowed a man to	Michigan allowed a man to single handedly close the point gap...a gap that was built single handedly by Spike.  And I wouldn't be complaining about Hardaway.  Unfortunately it was Robinson's man who had 15 points and a dozen rebounds.
10 weeks 17 hours ago	I think it would have been	I think it would have been stupid to put Burke back in and risk either a third foul or tentative defense.
10 weeks 19 hours ago	Louisville makes runs, that's what they do.	Louisville makes runs, that's what they do. Michigan up with Burke sitting and now he can go all out the second half. And Louisville doesn't have the benefit to adjust to a Burke led offense at the half.

10 weeks 1 day ago	I don't get this either.  We	I don't get this either.  We are going to hear over and over about how many years it's been since Michigan was in the finals...and some want to celebrate the main actor in causing the long, dark era that followed the Fab Five?
10 weeks 1 day ago	After listening to Jalen	After listening to Jalen discuss how it's his belief that Webber wants to disassociate himself with his college career, I don't really think it would be that cool.  And I don't think it would be a great sports moment, it would remind me of the reception Tressel got last season.  I'm not saying to hate Webber because I don't, but I don't like how he's handled any of this.   He ought to have more of a part in reconciliation than showing up at a moment arguably long delayed in a large part because of him.
