    Their high school coaches and AAU coaches have probably a better appreciation of Michigan than maybe they had before," Beilein said. "It's a tough balance right now. Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

6 days 11 hours ago Hoke level problems?

So you are saying that will all of these amazing recruits Hoke is pulling in, there will not be any one rated low enough to fill a special teams squad, and so might need true freshmen? Sounds great to me.

2 weeks 5 days ago less tacopants

I seem to remember several passes a game where the reaction was, if he was an inch or two taller that would have been a great play. The difference 4" can make on a wr is the difference between a first down or a punt a few times a game.

I now want a t shirt of a minion whose head is painted like a Michigan helmet, and Gru pointing a something.

3 weeks 5 hours ago effect on recruiting?

I was checking on the draft occasionally to see when and who would get Denard so I could become a greater fan of that team. I noticed Michogan was not well represented, though one could lay yet another issue at the feet of richrod.

I was wondering, with top recruits considering Michigan, if that is taken into consideration. I could see S E C schools selling 25% of the draft.

Or is the general consensus that when Hoke's guys get there, there will be lots of M players taken?

2015 yards seems like a good omen for Michigan and their future tital hopes.

5 weeks 2 days ago my first thought

That was my first thought. Some msu fans decided to celebrate the loss in Ann Arbor while Michigan fans just looked on disdainfully.

6 weeks 5 hours ago How I am

 

Knowing this was going to be the last hurrah for some of the Michigan players, I wanted them to do well. 

Before the tournament started I wanted them to win just one game to erase the sting from last year.  They did and I was satisfied. 

When they played VCU, I figured at that point, they were playing with house money.  They dominated, and with their play told the talking heads to shut up.  They made it to the sweet 16, I thought it was a successful year.  I was happy. 

Then the improbable comeback happened, and I watched the ending five times, shaking my head with marvel.  I was joyous.

They played Florida, and I spent Easter with my family.  My DVR gave a higher priority to Mickey Mouse.  My kids were happy and I watched every Gif and highlight I could.  I was disappointed I missed the game but elated.

Last night, I watched as the back up players who cheered so eagerly and enthusiastically for those who had more playing time return the favor with great plays and clutch shots of their own.  I was ecstatic.

 

Now, on the eve of the national championship game, all I can think about is how I do not want the mantra to include references to the fab five, and how they could not get it done.  I am nervous, but hopeful.

 

Go Blue

6 weeks 10 hours ago I am not normally superstitious, but

 

I am not normally superstitious, but the Michigan shirt I was wearing for the Penn State loss is currently in my closet and has not been worn since.  I do not even touch it as I am looking for something to wear.

6 weeks 3 days ago Profesional Questions?

Al this is George Littlebottom, Stupid Question times:  "How much of the playbook do you expect for Share to learn before he has access to the playbook."

 

"As a follow up, could Gardner create the playbook on NCAA 13 and only give Morris the download code.  If so, what ratings would you give Shane if you were to create him on the game."

 

MGoQuestions were good though.

6 weeks 5 days ago Recreating "The Trey" (or trying to)

 

I went to a gym this afternoon in order to try and reenact “The Trey.”  While I am no Stauskas, I am not terrible from three.  What I noticed other than my going 0 fer was the fact that from that distance I was not able to shoot with any form and actually have the ball approach the basket.  I ended up chucking the ball at the rim. 

 

It just reaffirmed what I thought.  Not only was it a clutch shot, but the degree of difficulty, and the ease by which it appeared to be released, are just amazing. 

 

Remember when we were worried when Morris left early for the draft.

Injuries happen. I used to be a quarterback until I took an arrow to the knee.

Just got home to discover that the game was bumped to record Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Is there any hope to watch it?

7 weeks 1 day ago Glad Johnson stayed in the game

I want back and watched the final five minutes of regulation and overtime (about 5 times) and noticed that Johnson had a lot of costly mistakes that helped Michigan come back.  He had some bad passes that turned into turnovers, missed shots, and a 10 second violation.  He was the Kansas player mainly responsible for the comeback.  

7 weeks 1 day ago Trey?

I watched this game with my week old son, who is my third child.  I have begun to strongly consider nicknaming him Trey.

10 weeks 2 hours ago   And Burke climbed Pauline

 

And Burke climbed Pauline Blvd to where it intersected Maple Raod, and there the Lord showed him the whole Big Ten, from Nebraska to Maryland.  From the valley of corn, to the city of wind, all of the forest land of Penn, and to the heathens who worship trees with eyes. 

Then the Lord said to Burke, “This the conference I promised on oath to give to those who will play point guard after you.  I have let you see it with your own eyes, but you will not hold sway over it.” 

Then Burke, the point guard for the Wolverine, left for the NBA.   They mourned for his loss in Ann Arbor, and no one is sure where he will be drafted.  Trey was a sophomore when he left, and his jump shot was not weak nor his strength gone. 

The Michigan fans grieved for Burke for the basketball offseason until the time of weeping and morning was over.

Then Derrick the son of Walton was filled with the spirit of a Wolverine so his future team mates would listen to him and did what the Lord had commanded Burke. 

Few players have risen in the Crisler arena like Burk, who knew greatness face to face. For few have ever shown the mighty cross over or performed the awesome deeds that Burke did in the sight of all Ann Arbor. 

 

At least this is the best explination I can come up with for the last few minute of this game, and some others...

10 weeks 3 days ago Rooting guide?

I know this is contingent on Michigan winning on Sunday, but do we have a rooting guide for Michigan to win a share of the big ten? I do not understand the intricacies of how to determine/share the championship.

I felt dirty rooting for Ohio vs Indiana. Do i need to root for....(sigh)...MSU to beat Wisconsin because we split with the other teams at the top?
