Not hard to do considering both Russell and Chamberlain were retired long before the three-point line existed, and Rudy T only played for two more seasons after the NBA adopted it.
A Beilein succession plan may not have been that successful. His highest-profile assistants have all been mediocre-to-bad at their head coaching stops:
LaVall Jordan: 94-98, 6 yrs, Marquette (1), Butler (5) - 2 winning seasons & only made the tournament in his first season at Butler
Luke Yaklich: 43-60, 3+ yrs, UIC, currently 8-11 this season
Congratulations on all the hard work over the years. You guys deserve to have this moment as much as the rest of us. It's amusing to me that, after all these years, at the end of each podcast you still link to the post with my email to you about "Across 110th Street."
I grew up in SE MI in the 80s, I didn't know any kids that were M fans and ND fans. Especially considering how many times ND handed M a crushing loss on the 1st or 2nd weekend of the season in those days.

Prior to 2010, the start time of games was largely dictated by the fact that Michigan Stadium didn't have permanent lights and the portable ones weren't very effective for the 3:30 start times late in the season.
As much as I loved that play, Orji is a one-trick pony. It's no secret that when he's in the game it's a run. He has one pass attempt and completion for 5 yards in his career and it was last year. Moore sprang it at the right time today to catch OSU off guard, but it's not going to surprise anyone else going forward.
People on Twitter are claiming those images came from the All-22 video, in which each play starts with a scoreboard close-up to show the score, time, and down & distance. The All-22 video is a perfectly acceptable source from which to decode signals.
But, the MSU one was hilarious. Every time M hit a big play, the color guy would mutter, "oh god..." And every time they whined about a call on the field or a missed play, the replay would show how wrong they were. It was very entertaining.
It's not quite as good as the photo of Denard vs Notre Dame in 2010, but JJ gained more yards on his pose photo play than the play that Denard's picture was taken from.
It's weird having Nessler and Danielson back doing B1G games because they spent the last 18 or so years on CBS shilling for the SEC. In particular, the week after Michigan lost to OSU in 2006 comes to mind, as they spent the entirety of the SEC Championship Game blowing Florida and Meyer, saying how Michigan shouldn't get a rematch with OSU. It only got worse when Tebow took the reigns.
I do wonder how many times Danielson recounted his glory days playing with the Lions handing off to Billy Siims while doing Georgia-Florida or the Iron Bowl. He's probably happy he gets to dust off those stories again.
MSU had Drew "I hate Michigan fans. They're all Walmart Wolverines" Stanton playing lights out in that game, until he got hurt and they had to rely on Damon Dowdell in the second half. It's likely Michigan loses that game if Stanton kept playing.

Yeah, it's some sort of unstructured sport coat, which is very weird.
Hmm, I can't find an entry for 30-24.
EDIT: damn, I was wrong. It has their NIT seeding.

Mike Hart ran a 4.77 40 at the combine. He was slow and already pretty banged up by the time he was drafted.
Fastest guys of the Harbaugh era who ran the 40 at the combine. For reference Denard ran a 4.43.

From 1980 - 2012 the Lions only had two kickers.
Mel Gray was deadly in Super Tecmo Bowl.
We had a one of those basketball games at my high school too, except it was Lions vs Packers. Eddie Murray dropkicked several baskets.

Turnovers barely existed this year. There were 8 all season and 4 of them came in the Bowling Green game.
One of the funniest tidbits to come out of this season. I'll always remember that quote when I hear Corn Jo's name from now on.
I personally liked Kris Jenkins interview with Jason Avant after the OSU game, "We did that Shit!"

I agree. Alabama had that play blocked if Milroe follows his guard. Mike was too deep.
A classic, Brian Cook MSU burn.
I think you mean the Scott's Weed 'N' Feed Garden of Eden Bowl.
If that's the case, we definitely know it wasn't Fran's defensive calls. Those don't exist.
The boy's got his own money.
I'm guessing Juwan's cardiologist wants him to lay off the steak and whole milk these days.
Do you call it Polishing the Cob?
Edit: Already answered, Denard won Offensive POY in 2010, though. Harbaugh is the only other QB to be named POY.
Michigan's other POY/ Offensive POYs:
Carter, Desmond, Wheatley, Chris Perry, Braylon
Also, two in a row for Blake!

It was seeking asylum and you turned it away?

Decoding. Totally different.
"Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons..."
It was mostly Michigan fans left at that point.
That's how Chris Spielman did it in 1994.

I'll watch the TNF Lions-Chiefs game, as well, to see if the Lions hype is worth anything. Then likely cancel.
McCaffery definitely did not set the world on fire at Northern Colorado. 6-16 record in two years.
EDIT: Already mentioned below.
Barry returned kicks and punts all three years too. His numbers in '87 were bonkers:

It was "The Dougie." It's on YouTube.
He would have liked to have seen Montana.

Spike doing a little, friendly victim blaming.

Hindsight and all that, but I wish Chaundee had the last three-point attempt vs UCLA in the 2021 Regional Final instead of ice cold Franz.
