H2H is then 1st tiebreaker for tourney seeding. We are pretty locked to the 5 seed unless nebraska shits the bed.

9 weeks 5 days ago still too soon

yep

9 weeks 5 days ago I know they suck this year

but run it the fuck up on these guys.

10 weeks 3 days ago I seem to recall his commitment post

the Chinese just wanted lavar ball out of their country.

24 weeks 6 days ago concur with tunein

I've used that and had no problems.

29 weeks 6 days ago I think

that actually has more to do with the camera setup at Purdue. I can recall that same angle in previous games that we're aired on abc/ESPN and BTN.

Win the one pool if Oregon beats UNC tomorrow, regardless of the gonzaga game, but win the other one if UNC wins it all.

1 year 4 weeks ago my favorite quote

"after Deng basically took DJ's life with that dunk"

and he still should have won.

1 year 5 weeks ago Ace's game recap needs to be 3 words

Derrick fucking Walton.

1 year 5 weeks ago Wisconsin also a 6

so a theoretical B1G final against them could be for a 6 seed as well.

1 year 7 weeks ago I was hoping a post like this was coming

I like watching the coaches post game pressers for some reason and this was one of the few I can remember where the coach didn't go standard boilerplate.

As someone who never played organized basketball past 6th grade, I love seeing posts like this and breakdowns by coaches who don't act like they are giving away the missile launch codes if they discuss more intricate concepts that happened in the game, especially so in this day and age when pretty much every major conference game is on TV and those teams have an army of analysts/grad assistants breaking down game film.

1 year 7 weeks ago 11/14 and 12/13 play on wednesday

those winners play 6 and 5 seeds, respectively, with the 7/10 and 8/9 seeds joining them on Thursday. Seeds 1-4 don't play until Friday.

1 year 8 weeks ago Michigan players from that game should have PTSD

from those dunks that Griffin was throwing down.

1 year 8 weeks ago yep, snark delivered when you yourself are wrong

is solid. I'm dumb.

1 year 8 weeks ago 5 would play the winner of the 11/14 matchup

which, yeah, won't be Rutgers.

1 year 9 weeks ago Going back 2 months

the collapse down the stretch to VA tech sucks too. That would have been a nice win over another bubble team we will be compared to.

1 year 12 weeks ago haha, I logged in

to say that exact same thing.

1 year 13 weeks ago The problem hasn't been Mike Ilitch's willingness to spend money

The fear is in what will Chris Ilitch's willingness to spend money once his father passes away and he assumes ownership.

1 year 15 weeks ago my first thought when seeing iowa

get pounded by purdue was "eh, we'll still lose by 15 there". I hate how jaded I am.

1 year 16 weeks ago how in the blue hell

did you end up with murray, McCoy and bell? are you in a 4 team league?

1 year 32 weeks ago really cool

well done.

1 year 32 weeks ago if using your phone

make sure to turn the screen brightness all the way up. I tried to use phone 2 years ago and it wouldn't work because I had the battery saver screen dim on. Holding up a ticket line at the stadium/main gates is not a feeling I wish to have again.

1 year 34 weeks ago First trip to the big house

The Game 1993. Michigan puts a 28-0 beatdown on the Buckeyes to give a little solace of an average season by preventing OSU from going to the Rose Bowl.

1 year 39 weeks ago lost 35 since beginning of april

treadmilling while watching DVR shows, stopped drinking pop and single handedly helping the local market hit their revenue target for boneless skinless chicken breast.

1 year 46 weeks ago all of the state's hyphenated

last name players belong to us.

1 year 47 weeks ago they are part of the champions classic event

with kansas, Duke and Kentucky that takes place early in the season so they do play one of those two teams 2 of every 3 years.

1 year 48 weeks ago yes

he is banned on the full site, but those people can still post on the app.

1 year 49 weeks ago D League callups

I would bet that okc's d league team also being in okc's has a lot to do with that, they could call him up for 24 hours if they needed a practice player due to injuries or whatever and then send him right back down.

1 year 50 weeks ago he didn't make a bogey the entire event

56 holes in total.

2 years 1 week ago this post needs to be copied/pasted

2 years 9 weeks ago after not playing in the 2nd half

of a close game vs Purdue, I'd highly doubt caris plays 20 minutes tonight

2 years 9 weeks ago I'm impressed you have a balcony

overlooking a beach as well as mountains at the same time

2 years 10 weeks ago To show everyone they mean business about this

Mississippi Valley State's women's fencing team is gonna get the death penalty.

2 years 12 weeks ago I hope that comment about not loving every recruit

isn't directed at magnus. he is extremely level headed when it comes to player evaluations

2 years 13 weeks ago The actual shot was the "Robinson Transition Three" GIF above

But the broadcast replay is the one that shows the Maryland coach.

2 years 13 weeks ago I know the exact one you are talking about

I noticed that too.  Had to replay it a couple times on the DVR

I believe it was after Duncan's 3 right before the 4 minute TV timeout.  Dude had a look that was equal parts "Is this dude serious", "Wait, THAT guy is killing us" and "I need to take a dump".

It's right around 29 minute mark of this full game video posted the other day.

2 years 17 weeks ago the direct download link

hasn't worked very often any of the last couple of months

2 years 18 weeks ago don't forget the 19-13

halftime score in the final four game between them and MSU.

2 years 26 weeks ago I don't follow crootin close enough

to know hometowns of every single player but last one that comes to mind for me from either football or basketball is John Navarre.

And I only know that one becaue I remember my 18 year old self thinking "Cudahy" was a funny name for a city and that name has always stuck with me.

Obligatory "No offense to anyone is from Cudahy, Wisconsin"

2 years 50 weeks ago it will probably be right after

he mentions having family in the area and uses us to get a free trip to the family reunion.

Nope, i'm not bitter about bball recruiting at all right now.

3 years 5 days ago It was the finals in 97

We had the honor of getting trucked by Webber in the 91 finals as well.

Crazy thing is that Vall was the third best player on that team but the only one that had his head screwed on straight to take advantage of a D1 scholarship offer.  At least one other guy had one but combination of test scores and general knuckleheadedness prevented that.

3 years 5 days ago I had the honor

of watching my high school lose to both of those teams in the state finals.

3 years 6 weeks ago because of they way

they restructured his contract figures in the past, the franchise tag figure would have been $27 million, meaning they would have been paying 3 guys somewhere around 50% of the total salary cap

3 years 9 weeks ago I don't think

I could agree with this any more.  Well done sir.

Dude has been playing golf basically every day of his life for 30-35 years and claims to not know the exact rule regarding a pretty basic golf occurrence, a penalty drop, of which I am plenty familiar given how terrible I was during my H.S. golf days.

3 years 10 weeks ago I think he was talking about dunn

m

3 years 15 weeks ago I seem to recall hearing that

but I'm just not sure where....

3 years 17 weeks ago first post

and will most likely be your last for a while.

3 years 20 weeks ago I'd need 28

and even then I wouldn't be comfortable with it.

3 years 20 weeks ago Yeah it still happens

Michigan played back in 2007, lost in 1st round to Butler.

It's more of a mid-major tournament now though.  This year's participants are Pacific, Alaska-Anchorage, Missouri State, Colorado State, Rice, Mercer, Washington State and UC Santa Barbara.

Last year was Harvard, Denver, Wisconsin-Green Bay, Pepperdine, TCU, Alaska, Tulsa and Indiana State, so not exactly a stacked field.

3 years 21 weeks ago To be fair

Michigan doesn't really have a football team this year either.

3 years 24 weeks ago exhibition Nov. 15th I believe

vs Hillsdale. Regular season starts 17th vs. Bucknell in regional round of the legends classic.

3 years 28 weeks ago it's because its posted as a combined one below

m

3 years 30 weeks ago that article is 9 months old

and an ace Williams article. very little credence should be given to this.

3 years 35 weeks ago It's mindblowing to me

that we are somehow going to be one of the youngest teams in the country for what seems to be the 12th year in a row.

3 years 36 weeks ago I kind of fall in this boat too

My only issue is that Oregon manages to run out 57 different combos every year that are, at worst, mildly ugly, whereas everyone that we have run out there range from hideous to "What in the holy hell is that"

3 years 37 weeks ago Not 100% sure on this

but seems to me that there didn't used to be lines on games between 1A and 1AA teams, of which "they" were a 1AA last time.

3 years 38 weeks ago I'd settle

for us blocking a fucking a gap blitz once or twice this year

3 years 42 weeks ago that should be required celebration for every

that should be required celebration for every goal

3 years 42 weeks ago I wanted 6-0

but this is even better

3 years 42 weeks ago 6-0 Netherlands

I don't think that's an unreasonable request.

It's not worth winning if you can't win big.

3 years 44 weeks ago as a dad of a 4 and 2 yr old

there is no such thing as quiet toddler fun :)

3 years 46 weeks ago Just take my upvote

Such a great scene in that movie.

3 years 47 weeks ago It's not worth winning if you can't win

It's not worth winning if you can't win big

3 years 47 weeks ago Love the My Cousin Vinny reference

"Dead-on balls accurate"

3 years 48 weeks ago holy shit

wow, what a game

3 years 52 weeks ago dinwiddie tore his knee up

late in the season, I'd be surprised if he came out

4 years 3 days ago what a great game

playoff hockey at its finest

4 years 3 weeks ago mindset...

Win the game. End.

4 years 3 weeks ago game is at Lucas oil stadium

not bankers life fieldhouse

4 years 4 weeks ago won't be announced til tonight

my guess is that they will have msu and our games at opposite times. if it's msu/Virginia, I bet they get they get the 7 pm slot and we play the late game

4 years 4 weeks ago my favorite was

the one they got back when an airball caromed off Morgans shoulder

4 years 5 weeks ago the internet

you win it

4 years 5 weeks ago The thing that stands out to me

Is how often he starts the dances before or as the shot is going up.  The force is strong in this one....

4 years 5 weeks ago that gap gets larger

if you stretch it to the point where we beat msu at the breslin in 2011, finished that season 8-3 I believe

4 years 6 weeks ago not sure dakich could be a wr

he didn't make much effort to keep 2 feet in bounds and he did not make a football move before flipping it to the ref, gotta make sure to complete the process

4 years 6 weeks ago It's Wright State, not Weber State

Weber State is in the Big Sky conference, I believe.

4 years 6 weeks ago I think this has to be an error

Lunardi normally goes with either the leader of the conference standings or the highest RPI rating if ties are in place.  As you said, WMU is the #1 seed in the MAC tourney, so my guess is this is supposed to be Western instead of Eastern.

4 years 6 weeks ago this game

this is a fantastic effing game.

4 years 6 weeks ago this thread

should end well.

4 years 6 weeks ago saw on ESPN bottomline

that cuse's loss dropped them to the 3 line in lunardi's mind, lunardi disclaimers not withstanding.

seems to me that as long as michigan makes the B1G final, the only thing keeping them from jumping to the 2 line would be duke and Virginia meeting for the acc title.

4 years 6 weeks ago all that needs to be said

is Illinois shot 54% for the half and is down 22.

4 years 7 weeks ago not sure what u consider

top or bottom end of the bracket but if msu ends up as the 5 seed, they would slot in against the 4 seed in the quarters, assuming of course they win the 5 12 game on Thursday. They'd be paired with the 1 8 matchup, making up the top half of the bracket.

4 years 7 weeks ago if msu is the 5 seed

they would be in the top half, playing whoever ends up as the 4 seed in the qfinals.

4 years 7 weeks ago tiebreakers are determined by win %

so 2-0 is considered tied with 1-0.

4 years 7 weeks ago I laughed at the thought

of 5 maize ragers out there chucking balls at crean like the Vince Vaughn dodgeball movie.

even better, they should let meyer do the use thing.

4 years 7 weeks ago im going with joey king

he'll probably have double digits at the half.

4 years 7 weeks ago Wisconsin....

Single plays against MSU, M and OSU.  Granted, 2 of them are on the road, but seriously, how does this happen EVERY EFFFING YEAR.

4 years 7 weeks ago has a bit of an impact

has impact on M's potential B1G tourney semifinal opponents. Nebraska still in the running for a 4/5 seed, though they likely need to beat wisconsin at home to close the regular season to have a shot at that now.

4 years 7 weeks ago if Iowa doesn't beat iu

on thursday, they could finish 10-8 and maybe fall to 6th place if Nebraska wins 3 of their last 4, giving us a potential semi matchup of OSU/nebraska and putting msu wisky and Iowa all on that side of the bracket

4 years 8 weeks ago weird thing

the weird thing is that there have only been 4 or 5 years we could have met before the title game.

4 years 8 weeks ago that sound you hear

is the whistle of the izzo excuse train pulling into the station. can't wait for troll Sharp's article about how this loss also sets up msu better for the future

4 years 9 weeks ago those socks

those would be a top seller in the mden store.

4 years 9 weeks ago I'd love to see the reaction

of the blue hair contingent of the m fan base rooting for a qb named messiah deweaver.

4 years 10 weeks ago Is this parity or

does everyone outside a healthy msu and maybe michigan just kind of suck?

4 years 11 weeks ago a lot of people thought

there was slim chance of replicating last year's offensive efficiency this year without Burke and hardaway and look where they are.

4 years 12 weeks ago best comment ever

+1

4 years 13 weeks ago *ranked team at home

n

4 years 13 weeks ago Nebraska bball has been a raging dumpster fire

for a long time, 0-5 in the b1g this year and beat a ranked team on the road. I think court stormings happen too often but this one is okay by me.

4 years 13 weeks ago I've been anticipating this column

since the buzzer sounded and was not disappointed.

4 years 14 weeks ago That's correct

Those games will be an either/or, dictated by television.  This mostly happens when there are potential games that CBS/ESPN want to poach that weekend, which would change where these games would slot in.  Michigan had the same thing on last year's schedule for the home finale against Indiana.

4 years 15 weeks ago should have watched them at Wisconsin last night

were up 11 at half, close 2nd half, then McCafferty went apeshit costing his team a 5 point trip on 2 technicals, lost by 4.

Iowa is a legit top 25 team.

4 years 19 weeks ago you can't use the phrase

"you people"

that's ray-cess.

4 years 23 weeks ago I laughed at this re: Iowa

And this:

Since college football is nothing but a money whore

Why not go out and get the best coach possible and pay him a ludicrous amount of money?

Brock Sampson: Well we're halfway there

4 years 26 weeks ago I predict

Eastern Washington water polo gets the death penalty so the NCAA can show how upset they are with Miami.

4 years 26 weeks ago I knew it

I'm surrounded by assholes

4 years 28 weeks ago the loss of posbangs

is tragic for a post like this

4 years 33 weeks ago The NCAA is so mad they didn't find anything

The next school that allows a volleyball player to use university water to wash their car is going to get the death penalty.

4 years 34 weeks ago Surprised to see no mention of penn st 2009

In the 40s, windy and started raining in 1st half. M scored td to go up 7-0, psu ran off 35 of next 38. Graham zug and andrew quarless combined for 4 receiving td's, 3 of which were flat blown coverages down the seam

4 years 34 weeks ago Not sure about Houston Baptist

But I only count 2 in an 11 game non-conf schedule (excluding the 2 exhibitions), not exactly HBCU heavy.

With a remaining schedule that includes road games at Iowa State and Duke, home games with Arizona, plus neutrals with Stanford, Florida St/VCU in Puerto Rico, then a likely 3rd game in Puerto Rico of G'Town or K State, I think that's a more than acceptable non-conf. schedule for a team of what Michigan's caliber should be this year.

4 years 36 weeks ago Too late for this year but

Guy I work with ties their draft order into the Kentucky Derby, kinda similar to the NASCAR one above.  Each guy in the league gets 2 starting positions assigned at random.  They use the highest finish of the 2 horses for each person and rank the draft order as such.

Side bonus is that he also hit the trifecta this year using his 2 numbers and a 3rd he picked, won $4,000.

4 years 37 weeks ago I might be one of the few

Cmu grads that cant effing stand fire up chips. I had an r.a. my freshman year that said it all the time and it pissed me off.

4 years 40 weeks ago If he manages to convince both to come to Michigan

Give him the #1 jersey.  Braylon will understand....OK, maybe not.

4 years 40 weeks ago I'm a bit of a soccer newbie as well

but from the limited experience I have watching games, I salivate over the prospects of the 4 midfielders you list there playing together, especially the center mids.

5 years 5 weeks ago Nice to know Wojo reads MGoBlog

From his column in the Det News today http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20130315/OPINION03/303150334#ixzz2NcJF6NiM, this sentence leads the third paragraph:

"It's the noise Michigan needs to hear, the guttural sound of a large man grabbing a rebound or powering to the basket."

I'm sure it's complete coincidence Wojo uses the same not exactly common word, guttural, that Ace used in the opening sentence of his game recap.


 
5 years 6 weeks ago Yo tommy

Tell me how my a** taste

5 years 9 weeks ago State wins

On an 80 foot granny shot by nix at the buzzer

5 years 10 weeks ago You are so dominate in this

You are so dominate in this thread.

5 years 11 weeks ago Completely missed that part

My bad.

5 years 11 weeks ago This first part of this

"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.

5 years 11 weeks ago Indiana 86 Michigan 81

Hopefully no one has this one yet, not going to look it up.

5 years 12 weeks ago If those boobs

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

5 years 15 weeks ago Sweep the leg

/Cobra Kai'd

5 years 15 weeks ago ohio st and penn st

are mostly to blame for this.

5 years 18 weeks ago No he's not

The contracts on their face are both 5/$80 but Verlander's was structured at $8 and $12 the first two years, then bumped to $20/year the last 3 years so Verlander is making $20 million this year.  Unless Sanchez' deal is structured to be getting more than that this year, and teams very rarely frontload contracts, he won't be making more than JV.

5 years 18 weeks ago Don't forget

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

5 years 19 weeks ago 88-78 M

88-78 M

5 years 20 weeks ago 82-67

Michigan 82

Bradley 67

5 years 20 weeks ago Home schedule so far

Northern Michigan

Saginaw Valley

Slippery Rock

IUPUI

Cleveland State

Pretty hard for a crowd to really get up and into any of these games when the closest margin of any of these games was 28 points.  You'll see a much different atmosphere tomorrow night.

5 years 21 weeks ago he's been playing more minutes

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.

5 years 22 weeks ago kind of a misplaced

exclamation point

5 years 22 weeks ago ct/lo

5 years 23 weeks ago in the mac

western already played central. awesome analysis though

5 years 31 weeks ago Albion, MI

Home to bball asst. coach LaVall Jordan.

Graduated a year ahead of me.  Lost to Battier era Country Day in state finals their senior years.  That team had 4 guys that should have played at least D1 college ball but LaVall was the only one that had his shit together.

5 years 33 weeks ago brutal stretch in the middle

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

5 years 33 weeks ago coke

he just gets lefties out

5 years 33 weeks ago From UMHoops.com

"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. 

 

5 years 34 weeks ago my wife teaches at oxford hs

this was actually done outside of the actual school district. once the voters turned down the bond issue, the school dropped it and it was actually the sports booster club that undertook and did the financing for this.

obviously the school had to give its permission but the truly idiotic was done by non-school district people.

i would bet you'll see a large donation made by the detroit lions charitable foundation then an 11th hour refinance of the remaining portion of the unpaid amount, too much bad pr all around for the bank to just take peoples houses for something that "benefitted the kids", regardless of how monumentally stupid these peoples initial decision was.

5 years 40 weeks ago Been on flights with Mike

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.

5 years 44 weeks ago must be blocking out the pain of...

the dontrelle willis experiment.

5 years 45 weeks ago In a twisted way, I hope all of the 4 go pro after this year

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

5 years 47 weeks ago never fails to make me laugh

never fails to make me laugh

6 years 5 weeks ago Not necessarily favorite, but moment I remember the most...

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.

6 years 5 weeks ago State has an agreement

where they are going to play road games vs all 3 michigan MAC schools in the next 8ish years. 1st one is this year at CMU.

6 years 7 weeks ago I don't know..

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.

6 years 13 weeks ago We play 18 conference games

So we have 11 conf. games plus arkansas left.  We are currently 15-4 so if we win 5 conference games plus arkansas, we would finish at 21-10 overall.

6 years 13 weeks ago I'm actually impressed...

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"

6 years 18 weeks ago Big Ten schedule

EDIT: Nevermind, Raoul types faster than I do.

6 years 27 weeks ago Another correction...

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.

6 years 46 weeks ago Even though...

Nashville is in Central Time Zone, the better fit geographically is Nashville moving to the Southeast. 

I don't think you'll see the Wings moving east, leaving only one original 6 team in the West (Chicago).  My guess of the most likely moves are moving Nashville to the Southeast, Winnipeg moving to the Northwest with the other Canadian teams + Colorado and Minnesota moving to the Central.

Hopefully, the NHL uses this as the time to examine the schedule as well and change it so that each team plays the other at least once every year.  It's ludicrous that it takes 4-6 years to get to see some teams/players from the opposite conference.

7 years 6 weeks ago Funny...

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

7 years 6 weeks ago The team's response after Wisconsin game...

and how they played in the Minnesota game, as well as how they jumped on State from the get go after a full week layoff, makes me confident that we will see Michigan's best effort against Illinois on Friday.

 

They very easily could have come out flat for each of these games for very different reasons and didn't.

7 years 16 weeks ago SMU's leading rusher is from Oxford..

so you can root for someone from Michigan at least.

7 years 17 weeks ago Have the contact rules changed that substantially...

in the 10-ish years since Braylon was being recruited?  It seems like the father of a very highly recruited player would have some memory of how the process went down.

7 years 18 weeks ago Just imagine to possibility

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

7 years 18 weeks ago Sheppard

Sheppard is the raido play by play guy for Michigan basketball, so if anything, he'd be biased TOWARD michigan.

7 years 29 weeks ago Discussed this same possibility with a buddy last night...

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.

7 years 40 weeks ago The U.S. plays a friendly against Brazil...

on August 10th in New Jersey.  Given the World Cup and most players beginning preparations for their respective club seasons, it's debatable how many of the recognizable names for either side will be there.  I would think the U.S. or Mexico based players would likely be there (Donovan, Buddle, Findlay, Torres, Gomez), but I would question if the guys that play on European club teams (Onyewu, Dempsey, Holden, etc.) will be there.  Maybe we could see the return of Charlie Davies to the USMNT.....

7 years 42 weeks ago 93 OSU game...

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.

7 years 45 weeks ago I went to Albion High School with LaVall....

and he is an outstanding person.  The phrase "nicest guy you'll ever meet" is thrown around a lot, but it's true with LaVall.  So pumped he has gotten the opportunity to come back to Michigan.

8 years 9 weeks ago Looks like the Iowa fans are bringing out..

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

8 years 18 weeks ago Is he....

Is Antwan Boldin any relation to Anquan Boldin from the Cardinals?

I know what you meant, but couldn't pass this one up.

8 years 45 weeks ago (No subject)

8 years 45 weeks ago The Rule 5 rules also allow a

The Rule 5 rules also allow a team to offer a selection back to the team the guy was originally selected from for $25,000. Not sure if you can then just cut him if the original team doesn't want him back either.

You haven't seen Bloom this year because he was terrible in spring training and the Tigers offered him back to the Pirates and the Pirates accepted because they apparently didn't have enough terrible pitchers.
