Tell me how my a** taste

You are so dominate in this thread.

"He does it the right way -- clean -- and he adjust to his personnel. Before he had Burke, they didn't ball-screen a ton. They also used to play a ton of 1-3-1 defense and now he just sprinkles it in. He's a really good coach."

Just reeks of being from Izzo.

Still looking like that, I'll be Elton Brand for 3 or 4 minutes.

are mostly to blame for this.

Only beating Boise St. by 4 and Louisiana-Lafayette by 3, both at home.

Michigan 82

Bradley 67

than vogrich so far anyway so him not starting isnt really that big a deal. i think beilein likes him as an instant offense guy off the bench.

is at troy athens hs

western already played central. awesome analysis though

at iu wisky and msu, home to osu but get repaid with 2 of 3 after at being against psu plus finish with 4 of last 6 at home

"Irvin jumped 37 spots from 68th to 31st in the rankings while Walton rose 13 spots, to 44th up from 57th. Donnal saw his stock drop but only minimally as he fell from 103rd to 104th."

Irvin had a huge summer and is now the go to guy on his HS team with his teammate Gary Harris now in East Lansing.  A lot of rumblings from Indy BBall people have listed him as the best player in Indiana.  With a good HS season, I could see another jump from him to near 5 star status similar to the leap that GR3 made last year. 

Been on flights with Mike Tirico (Dallas) and Jason Richardson (Charlotte, NC) on separate occasions.

My best one was from just a couple of weeks ago.  Went to Pittsburgh for Tigers games and after a night of baseball, drinking and the casino, my buddies and I ended up at the same bar as Verlander and Gerald Laird.  My buddy and I beat Verlander and one of his boys at pool.  Verlander closed the bar down and left with a very fine young lady.  I'm sure she was a close friend from high school and his longtime girlfriend knows all about it.

That would most likely mean we are celebrating a 2012-13 Michigan basketball season that ended in Atlanta.

was Butler/Florida from 1st round in 2000.  I was the only one in my dorm tourney pool that picked Butler to win (I know, cool story bro), but the memorable part is that LaVall Jordan graduated from Albion HS a year in front of me and while we weren't more than acquaintances, we knew who each other were.  It was heartbreaking to see a guy I knew and an 85% free throw shooter miss 2 and Miller go the length of the floor to beat them.

There is a big difference in 1st round matchups between the 2 and 3 seed.  Assuming higher seed wins in 1st round of BTT, 2 seed gets winner of this weekend's Iowa/NW matchup where winner gets 7 seed.  The 3 seed gets loser of IU/Purdue matchup.  This of course assumes no upsets in Thursday 1st round BTT games.  HUGE difference in playing IU/Purdue vs. playing Iowa/NU

Fun Big Ten Tourney facts: In the 14 year history, the following matchups have never occurred:

Illinois/Iowa

Purdue/Wisconsin

Indiana/Michigan

MSU/Michigan

I'm sure everyone knows about MSU/Michigan never meeting. However, there has only been 1 year (2001, UM 10 seed, MSU 2) where they could have even met before the semifinals. Including this year where they can't meet until the finals, 11 of the 15 years of the BTT, the only way MSU/Michigan could have met was in the finals. That is crazy to me.

that it took until the bottom of the 1st page of the OP's link for someone to mention "getting no help from the whistle" and the bottom of the 2nd page for someone to call the over and back "complete homer BS"

Farmington Hills Harrison does not have a bye this week.  Their conference (Oakland Activities Association) has a crossover week this week between 2 of the divisions.  Harrison is playing at Lake Orion H.S. this week.

I live just south of LOHS and was thinking of going.

That was EXACTLY what I did.  As soon as he went up, I yelled NO, NO...WOOOOOOOOOO.

so you can root for someone from Michigan at least.

Just imagine to possibility of Denard and Dee running the "Annexation of Puerto Rico"

We both felt RR has to have been keeping something up his sleeve for Sparty.  The offense hasn't had to show many wrinkles due to the sheer dominance of Denard, but I would be SHOCKED if there aren't a few plays that involve more than 1 of the QB's.  My favorite would be Denard and Gardner in the backfield, maybe trying to get Gardner isolated on a LB on a wheel route or a jumpball play near the goalline similar to the one that tOSU ran for Pryor a couple of times when Boeckmann was there.

was the first game I attended at the Big House.  I doubt my experience is any different than any others' first game.  Truly, one of the more memorable sporting events in my life.  The epic beatdown on TUOOS that day was icing on the cake.

all the original plays on Michigan's name.

"Make Michigan" on the front and "Our Bichigan" on the back.

Also have seen an "Ann Arbor is a Whore" shirt.

All they need is a "Wal-Mart Wolverine" one to complete the cycle.

I know Iowa is really bad, but Lickliter should really have trouble looking his team in the face when he gives his munchkin son 7-10 minutes a game
