Concessions at both Crisler…

Concessions at both Crisler and Michigan Stadium are a joke.  No variety and hot dogs are always cold with hard buns and pretzels are hard as bullets.  It’s ridiculous to pay those prices for horrible quality.  The Athletic Department needs to step up and get the message out to vendors.  Yes it’s difficult to keep things fresh for 110,000 but many times it’s worse at Crisler.  A family of four can’t afford to pay for food let alone junk.

Yes they did play a 1-3-1.  It allowed us to protect the lane and prevent drives in the paint.  OSU was forced to shoot over the top and didn’t do it very well.  The atmosphere was terrific and the attendance was near 10,000 to 11,000.

Yea.  Just look at Arkansas.  They may have 3 to 4 new starters.  They just bought in 5 from the portal.

Sam Webb eluded to the academic situation last week on his show.  He stated Kante had a few things to clean up before enrollment.  Evidently the young man’s academic standing couldn’t make it.  He also stated this situation isn’t uncommon for foreign born high schoolers.

The fact that the MSU player…

The fact that the MSU player was in possession of a firearm while intoxicated was much different than Mazi.  And it doesn’t matter if the MSU player had a permit or didn’t have a permit.  That is a felony.  And the charges probably include a DUI.  The article didn’t state that but if he was operating the vehicle he would be charged with a DUI.

Kim Mulkey is an ass.  After Baylor beat Michigan two or three years ago, Mulkey had the audacity to say “One of these days those teams up north will learn how to play basketball”.  She was a rock star at Baylor and is building that same status at LSU but to me she is trying to be bigger than the game itself.

I just watched some video on her.  She has good footwork and is pretty athletic.  She has a nice jump shot from 6 to 8 feet and runs the floor well.  She appears to shoot with confidence and positions herself well around the block.  Hope she works out.

I’m sick of his antics.  Waving at the crowd after a shot, then while leaving the floor at halftime.  With the record we have he should pay attention to the game instead of all the crap he is spewing.  No class.

The crowds that attend games…

The crowds that attend games at Crisler are not very enthusiastic at all.  Last night the television broadcasters even mentioned how quiet the arena was.  I don’t know what it takes to get people stomping their feet and yelling at the top of their lungs.  Maybe it only happens when MSU or OSU shows up.  As of now it’s probably a case of “ This team isn’t that good”.  It would be great to hear more crowd noise, that’s for sure.  Even the Maize Rage was quiet last night.

There are several bills that have been submitted in Congress to eliminate tax deductions for NIL deals.  NIL Collectives are filing for Non Profit status and getting around the required taxable income issues.  If Congress does pass some of these bills, NIL Collectives will be required to 1099 all contributors.  This will most likely reduce NIL deals.  Just what the NCAA wanted.

I’m not a tax person but even if Nil contributors do not get a tax break for money they give, I’m sure players have to get 1099’s for accepting money.  You cannot gift money without some recorded accountability to the IRS.

I got my notification early this afternoon.  Ended up buying 3 tickets on Stub Hub in the corner of the end zone.  In the building in the lower bowl on the Michigan side.  Wanted to do better but the ticket prices were outrageous.  Too far to go to wait for price to come down.  It’s like a crap shoot every year.

You have to appreciate Emily Kiser.  She didn’t get significant playing time until last year.  She stuck with the program, worked very hard and now benefits from all the effort.  She is a great quiet leader and is having a fantastic start to the season.

Kevin Warren, the current…

Kevin Warren, the current Big Ten Commissioner, has preached about diversity, athletes having a voice and about not tolerating racism in the Big Ten. The fact that he is a black man would lead you to believe he would have voiced some concern about this matter.  Yet he remains silent.  Not the leader the conference needs considering the times.  OSU is just being OSU with this issue.  I wish the MSU player the best of luck the rest of the season.  It’s amazing that the only consequence that may come from such a deliberate act of racism is being tossed from a game.

Tucker better start recruiting better or Spartan fans will start buying this new item.  I’m sure it will save a few couches.

I felt Doug Karsch did a very good job calling the play by play.  I thought his gravely voice would be a problem but it wasn’t.  He doesn’t have a “signature” touchdown call yet but all in all I enjoyed listening to him.  John Jansen was great explaining the plays.  He is tuned into the modern game and reads the plays very well from the broadcast booth.  He doesn’t talk over Karsch and breaks down plays that the lay person can understand.  I enjoyed listening to this broadcast team.

As of May 13th that is the 3rd fastest 100 meter time in Michigan.  I couldn’t get the full list but there are four 100 meter times nationally that are 10.1 to 10.3.

These NIL agreements are…

These NIL agreements are eventually going to bite people in the ass.  Nobody is going to give away hundreds of thousands of dollars and not get anything in return.  At first yes, but when the athletes transfer, get hurt or don’t start and the so called donor isn’t getting a return the money train will stop.  Kids receiving all that cash won’t concentrate on school or the sport.  I don’t see this party lasting that long.  Every athlete better have a good accountant, tax attorney and solid parenting.  There will be plenty of lawsuits for failure to deliver or breach of contract once all this crap starts.

College recruiting is…

College recruiting is changing so fast that universities will be having young prospects signing a NLI (National Letter of Intent), a NIL (Name, Image, Likeness Agreement) and a contract with guarantees on NIL revenues.  This should also include how long the contract is for, guaranteeing how long the player has to stay thus negating the Transfer Portal for the first two or three years.  Oh! I forgot that’s what the Pros have.

Michigan needs to get speed and shooters.  Every team in the final 4 attacks the rim relentlessly.  Then it’s kick out passes to shoot 3’s.  Pulling up at the three point line to run plays isn’t a formula for success.  It works in the Big Ten but not in the Tournament.  Attack, attack and attack more to put defenses on their heels.

It’s an obvious “Recovery Fee” for the revenue loss due to Covid.  But I paid it for the same reason as some others.  I want to save hard copies as I have for the last 30 years.

Mr. Glick was such a generous man.  Besides supporting Michigan athletics he did support the Jackson Community a great deal.  As the owner of Alro Steel he just donated all the steel for the new Jackson High School indoor practice facility.  It’s going to be completed this year and is a great high school facility.  His energy will be missed.

The beast, as you call it,…

The beast, as you call it, is South Carolina. Stanford is very good also.  I’ve watched Tennessee and we can beat them but it would be a toss up.  I haven’t seen UConn but they are not as tough as years past according to what I’m reading.  Michigan has great depth especially along the front court.  We are a very big team and bigger than most.  If we are hitting 3 pointers from Nolan and Danielle Rauch we are difficult to beat.  This team also plays great defense.  Even though Clark (Iowa) hit for 46 last night we shut the rest of the team down.  If you watched the OSU and Indiana games you saw better defense.  If we lack anything it’s speed at the guard.  Phelia had a breakout game against Iowa and gets to the hole at will.  She’s only a Freshman and will be very important as they go down the stretch.  Brown is out for awhile with an ankle sprain.  It’s only a three week thing and she should be ready for the Big Ten Tournament and the NCAA Tournament.  This team is very good.

As a Women’s Basketball season ticket holder I just want to say thanks to the Maize Rage for showing up tonight.  Also to all the other fans that don’t show up on a regular basis.  You created an outstanding atmosphere at Crisler Arena tonight.  It was very enjoyable and helped in the win.  GoBlue!!

Flint, Michigan.  Way too many to name but three I feel are way up there.  Glen Rice, Herb Washington and Rick Leach.  I’m probably forgetting 20 more.

Watched his highlights today.  Not bad vision.  Was timed as a 11.3 100 meter guy.  That seems about right watching his speed on tape.  They ran a ton of counter action with him.  Didn’t break a lot of tackles but still runs hard.
