1 hour 30 min ago	yeah, nothing wrong with the duderstadt	he was a leader in implementing some pretty significant policies with impact well beyond michigan. point was he was somebody who lived in ann arbor and reported to work every day at u-m;  and although compelling, wasn't exactly the headline fodder that the commencement-speaker arms race seems to demand.
2 hours 47 min ago	i had no idea	who spoke at my commencement, so i googled it. turns out it was james duderstadt -- president of the university. i guess they couldn't even get anyone to come speak. maybe that's why i didn't bother going, though i don't really remember.
1 day 3 hours ago	couldn't upvote this anymore	but feel compelled to register my agreement with this. That anticipation, excitement and tension before kickoff, or at crucial moments in the game, is a beautiful thing that shouldn't have to compete with, and definitely doesn't need to be "augmented" by, some idiot at the controls of a big-ass PA system.  The grandiosity of the event, captured so effectively by Keith Jackson, is cheapened by all that gimmicky crap. But, the main thing to be taken from that video is just how great it was to have Keith Jackson in the booth, and how much he is missed on fall Saturdays.
4 weeks 2 days ago	ha, was just going to post that	that's how an emmy-winning veteran news anchor does it.
5 weeks 2 hours ago	Back in the day, I'd watch	Back in the day, I'd watch any game being called by Summerall/Madden. These days, I hardly watch any NFL games at all.  I've missed that pair (and Keith Jackson on Saturdays) for years. RIP, Pat.
5 weeks 3 days ago	happy for Trey	and thrilled that the BBall program is relevant and drawing top talent, but find myself rather uncomfortable with that characterization.
6 weeks 1 day ago	what hurts is	two of trey's fouls were total phantom calls. that very much affected his play at the end of the game (not to mention his absence for most of the first half).
6 weeks 1 day ago	i dunno	1989 glen rice, loy vaught, terry mills, rumeal robinson, sean higgins.... 1992... you know who 2012/13...again, you know who. there will be others to come.
6 weeks 1 day ago	an all-time great basketball	an all-time great basketball play goes in the books as a foul. shame.
6 weeks 1 day ago	that trey block was an	that trey block was an all-time great play. shame that it went down called as a foul. weird how more fouls were called on louisville (justifiably), but the ones called on M affected the game. oh well. cant take anything away from what this team accomplished.
6 weeks 2 days ago	While it may be a stretch to	While it may be a stretch to call Webber a victim, he was far from being the main actor. It was, after all, the Ed Martin scandal. Also, this isn't about celebrating him -- it's about celebrating this year's team. People comparing this to Tressel's triumphal return at the horseshoe last fall (as someone did the other day) are way off base. He won't be getting carried off the court on anybody's shoulders, but it would be cool if he was there cheering when Trey Burke is.
6 weeks 2 days ago	so glad	coming back for his sophomore year worked out so well for him. Should be a good example to other potential one-and-done players of the kind of development that can happen with another year in Beilein's program.

6 weeks 3 days ago	what i'm drinking tonight?	the sweet nectar of VICTORY!!!
6 weeks 3 days ago	that's what i was thinking.	the close game for the night is out of the way, and i'm sick of hearing about this 2-3 zone. time to kill it!
6 weeks 3 days ago	haha	did greg gumbel just call them the wichita state "stalkers"?  i like it... and they're making louisville nervous.
7 weeks 2 days ago	not really a valid comparison	florida was incidental to the victory today. it was about getting to the final 4 after a too long absence, and we would have probably beaten anybody today. beating florida in the bowl game was gratifying because it was florida (tebow, urban, etc), and carr got a nice send-off with a good victory (against the sec) after an otherwise disappointing season.
7 weeks 4 days ago	per ESPN	Mitch McGary and Blake Griffin (2009) are the only players in the last 15 seasons with consecutive games of 21+ points and 14+ rebounds in the Men's Basketball Championship. He is just the 6th player since seeding began in 1979 to have two such games in a single Men's Basketball Championship.

12 weeks 2 days ago	yeah,	here we go, finally some energy! nice active D by Morgan.
12 weeks 2 days ago	what's uglier	the way this team is starting, or the uni/socks/shoes combo? yeesh.
13 weeks 2 days ago	his d is so bad...	his guy has 11 of 9 points scored by the team!  go figure.
