if you're going to have a gluten allergy Ace, then Ann Arbor is the place to live for sure. You will not find a more celiac aware city on Earth. most restaurants have gluten free menus if you ask, and more importantly, most fully understand the concept and dangers of cross contamination. Original Cottage Inn and Zingermans Road House are just two that come to mind. My Step-Mom has this disease, and she raved about this city when she came to visit.
I wish you luck with your transition!
This board needs a bit more True Blue Michigan Slappy Optimism!
It's nice to know that there are others out there with the deep seeded faith that Michigan is better simply because it's Michigan, and that we expect to win because we're Michigan, Media and fair weather fans be damned!!! 12-0 baby! And the Lions are going 16-0, and Tigers are going to the Series, and Wings gonna win the cup, and the Pistons.... well, they still suck... But yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so it shall be that much jubilation will be shared by all, for verily the forces of truth, justice, and the American Way have once again triumphed over the nefarious denizens of the B1G. Let us revel in this conquest, and savor the sweet sweet taste of victory.
So that fans will stop following you in their car while you walk down state street, begging you to stay from their passenger window... Yeah, just saw this actually happen. Sounds like a bad TLC song...
Pretty sure Kentucky will be able to say they put 5+ of their starters in the league in one year lol. Tough break to run into KY just as they were starting to turn from 5 All Stars into one heckuva team. What a great game to watch. Proud of our effort this year, and proud of this team. Hope they all come back (I'm certain they won't) Thanks MGOBLOG for everything you do. You're always the highlight of my day.
Keep in mind, he went down pretty early in the game and UK still managed to handle a very very good Louisville team and pull out the W. Don't think losing him will have quite the impact we would hope for. Certainly doesn't help them any, but they're plenty deep enough to roll without him. Should be a good game either way. Can't wait.
one year, I picked every single sweet sixteen team. my bracket then turned into a tire fire from the elite 8 onward. early rounds are nice to get right, but champions are made in the elite 8 and final four.
I dunno if it was a double. Doesn't look like he got the full rotation there. Judges most likely going to hit him with a deduction. This could lose him the gold.
Love your post-game writing Ace. Combines excellent journalism with my own sense of mind-blown wonder that this is all real and actually happening... GO BLUE!
While stars are bright and shiny and fun for fans like you and me to look at, they are truly irrelevant. I'm quite certain Hoke could care less how many stars his recruits have. I'm sure there are a multitude of 5 stars with entitlement issues who show up not wanting to work, but there are, I'm sure, just as many who show up ready to bust their butts to earn the playing time. It's up to the coaches to weed out the bad apples. As such, no, I do not think you can have too many 5 stars. It just depends on what 5 star you're recruiting. it's about the kids, not the ratings. Find the right kids, and coach them up, and you won't have any problems. I think this staff is pretty good at finding the right kids.
Plus he knows a guy that knows a guy that delivers pizza to Brians best friends cousins step-sisters uncle. His name is also Onions. It's a long story. Parents were big into some stuff in the 70's. May have involved some sort of allium vegetables.
I dont' have time for some piddly little 3 star QC guy. He needs to get in and contribute early and not spend a couple years "Filling Out" or "Learning the Ropes". Better have at least 4 stars.
I'm of the opinion that in the NBA, right now, he WOULD be just a shooter. Doesn't yet have that ability to get to the basket among the trees in the NBA. They're a whole lot more able to contest shots than the kids in college. Another year at least to put more meat on, work on his handling, then absolutely he can play in the league. First round, i'm not so sure, but definately has a place in the league somewhere.
4 game Losing streak for Ohio is always a good reason for a POSBANG. So bang away.
That being said, I'd save the trash talk until AFTER we play Ohio. Let's not forget that our offense if carrying our team, and our defense is, frankly, a shadow of what it should be. We could have easily lost to Nebraska ourselves had we not shot as well as we did, and the ref's completely ignored Waltons charge. I know obvious statement is obvious, but it's obvious for a reason... Once we start winning games in absolute dominating fashion on both ends of the court, then I will be all for a little smack talk.
He's not the greatest, but there are far worse out there. Bottom line is, so long as Michigan plays like they did today and comes away with a W, then Miley Cyrus could call the game and I wouldn't care... Come to think of it, that might be entertaining as hell... Can we make this happen?

Game vs Harvard would be Fantastic in my opinion. Would be fun to watch I think.
Thanks for everything J-Mo. The leadership and experience from him will not just be hard to replace next year... It will be impossible.
2014 you mean... We shall not speak of the year that must not be named.
B1G Tourney champs (assuming there's a banner for this)
Final Four appearance
National Champs.
Am I missing any??

This team is so much fun to watch. Can't wait to clinch it outright.
Huzzah!
Love a good POSBANG!!!

My guess is between 11 and 13. Any lower is a crime. Any higher is wishful thinking in my opinion.
I love you Ace.
You're my boo!
