Date Title Body
3 weeks 2 days ago Bang! Double-digit victory

Finally no mismatches or shot blockers to worry about. M has the advantage everywhere, and looking forward to the offense opening up with Z and MAAR, even Matthews, being able to drive with zero caution without a SWAT team in the paint.

Michigan by 12+

I have fond memories of MSU as a 2 seed...

12 weeks 2 days ago Subbing out your most sure

Handed PG with FT woes is very different than subbing out a wing or, even more, a PF/C. Who says we get the looks/opportunities that we had if Z is taken out? I trust Beilein with this decision.

Plus, this was one of the LEAST of reasons why we lost this game...

14 weeks 4 days ago Exactly.

That proves my point even more (about National Title contender, not nec division title). 8-5 in our tougher division COULD mean we’re even closer to a contender than Georgia 2016. And don’t say “we’ll we have to win the division to be a tire contender,” because, uh, Bama.

14 weeks 4 days ago Jumping high doesn’t equal athleticism (GRIII)

Not criticizing you, but I’ve just heard a lot of people have been putting GRIII on this athletic pedestal. He was/is very athletic, but the MOST athletic? Was he THAT quick and agile as a defender? Was he even above average in his agility and balance while attacking the basket with the ball in his hands? Maybe we just never saw these attributes of his athleticism because he was such a timid player. He did make some very athletic dunks in the open floor, however, that we hadn’t seen from a 3/4 in some time at M.

Braylon has repeatedly, flagrantly disgraced himself and Michigan. OKorn simply hasn’t played up to our expectations on the field. A “Michigan Man” is a title earned beyond merely the statistical performance on the field...C’mon man

9 of those 11 carries were bigger holes than anything Evans or Higdon had. He'll settle back down to #3 RB as the season goes on because Higdon is better...in pretty much every way.

Exactly! You should have to get out of the pocket then chuck it, or throw it in the vicinity of a receiver. You shouldn't be able to commit a penalty...with no penalty. Hopefully this scenario calls for a rule change.

Best point I hadn't heard, yet: "Yes, Michigan’s three toughest games (Iowa, Michigan State and Ohio State) are all on the road, and yes that does concern me. At the same time, if there was ever a year to get those three teams away from the Big House, doesn’t this feel like it?"

Ocean City, MD

Unfortunately my Labor Day weekend will no longer be spent in Ann Arbor and Irish Hills, but in a car for at least 20 hours and hunkered down for two nights near Ocean City, Maryland. Fiancé's grandfather is near death. I'm "all in". Ergo, you go with fiancé even when she insists that you don't have to.

If possible, I'd love to catch the game. Even less likely, I'd love to hit up Dogfish Head brewery, which is only about an hour away.

1 year 36 weeks ago 2 teams will play 16

which is 3-4 games less than 2 NFL teams will be playing

And we're not going to 16 anyway. His division and playoff breakdown is moot and just for the sake of speculation. The author's point is more about the alignment of these tv contracts with the dilemma of the Big12's current position. He's stating how realistic and opportune it will be for the other conferences to pounce, given the current tv deals, and how necessary it may be, for several teams' sake, that the Big12 desperately make a last ditch effort...
