13 weeks 3 days ago	The amount of coverage has	The amount of coverage has surprised me too, but I suspect many have the same reaction that I did, which probably has something to do with it.  The article doesn't really focus on his birthday itself, but does give an interesting look at MJ behind the scenes, though, which is why I thought it was a good read.
14 weeks 18 hours ago	2000 = Advent of "modern college sports?"	Based on what?  I'm not trying to be overly snarky (or even remotely so), but how old are you?  TV money did not suddenly arive on the scene in 2000, and ESPN has been around for DECADES.  March Madness has been an advertizing/TV contract bonanza for years and years, to say nothing of the massive amounts of money exchanged in office pools, bracket challenges, etc.  Simply because some under the age of 25 might not remember Michigan pre-2000 (and I think many would) doesn't have anything to do with whether that time period (and arguably decades before that) was part of "modern college sports."  I don't think you'll find too many people argue that the Fab Five were not a part of "modern college sports" and that was twenty years ago.  While the stats from 2000 to the present say what they say, and I'm not knocking you for pointing them out (I agree they are fairly depressing) I think you could tell a completely different story simply looking at a different starting point.  In the end, Michigan is still Michigan.  Despite tonight's disappointment, I don't think you can honestly deny that both football and basketball are trending in the right direction.

28 weeks 6 days ago	Or he might be Skinner and	Or he might be Skinner and realize that the generally prevailing view doesn't fit and blow the whole thing up.  He doesn't need to be an expert in psychoanalysis to say, "hey, I don't think this is working.  Let's try something different."  I'm glad you know a lot--apparently--about the minutiae of football (but apparently not much about psychology), but to attempt to discredit anyone else's view simply because, "hey, I (think) I know more than you," doesn't really advance the discussion.  I don't think it's very complicated to say, "hey, whatever the reasons, the offense is not getting it done.  Isn't that on Borges?"
