1 week 3 days ago Are the Thome's related to Jim Thome?

Mostly a shot in the dark, but I know he spend lots of years in Cleveland... just curious?

1 week 6 days ago No gerund jokes?

In the post? I'm surprised. I think Channing needs a gerund related nickname.

2 weeks 5 days ago Glyph - App that tells you what's best for you based on habits

There's a Detroit-based (soon to be Ann Arbor-based) startup that built an app and website that peruses your spending history and tells you what card would be best for you.

Beyond that, every time you're about to make a payment, it will tell you which of your pre-entered credit cards will maximize your rewards.

https://www.paywithglyph.com/

Disclosure... a good friend is one of the co-founders. But seriously, I highly recommend, and so have Fortune, Tech Crunch, etc.

that's a great line.  But let's hope we don't read it next week.

15 weeks 20 hours ago Any refs out there? - when a shot goes up...

Re: the Ravenel goaltend... when a shot goes up, what do the refs look at?  I think the priority is to watch what's going on under the basket rather than actually watching the ball and the hoop.  

That being said, there are 3 of them in college, is one of them (maybe the one in the backcourt?) supposed to watch the hoop while the other two focus on contact between players?

16 weeks 1 day ago Opponent's Center?

This is really cool, great work.

I wonder if Morgan is more frequently going up against an opponent's top center while McGary might be playing against a backup more often.  Could be a part of the difference - i.e., Morgan is 'less better' than the top center and McGary is 'more better' than the backups?

17 weeks 5 days ago What if Denard knew?

WHAT IF DENARD THREW ALL THOSE INTERCEPTIONS TO MAKE SURE MANTI BECAME EXTRA FAMOUS BECAUSE HE KNEW THE TRUTH AND WANTED IT TO BE EXPOSED

18 weeks 5 days ago Love these posts

Keep em coming!

I know little about football Xs and Os and learn a ton from this blog/comments. I know more about hoops and love the opportunity to chime in a little here!

18 weeks 5 days ago Setting up the screen

Part of the reason #15 (guarding Burke) fights over the screen well is that Burks didn't do enough to set it up.  In a perfect world, Burke & McGary should rub shoulders when Burke passes the screen, not allowing any room for the defender to fight through.  It's basically impossible to get this to happen, but there are a few feet between Burke & McGary when Burke goes around the screen.  If Burke takes another dribble toward the hoop before he dribbles left around the screen, #15 will have a harder time fighting over McGary.

Setting up the screen falls more to Burke than the screener because the screener can't be moving as long (or else it's a foul).  So the dribbler needs to be work toward the hoop (in this case) before taking a sharp angle past the shoulder of the screener to optimize the chances for the dribbler to get a shot off.

That being said, Burke getting a shot off is only one option - on this play, Burke seems to be thinking #1 look for Stauskas's cut and #2 wait for the re-screen.

Just my two cents, I love how the offense has many layers and Burke et al work through them and find great shots.

I don't know much about HS softball, but am curious what the other two hotbeds of softball talent are (with SoCal being one).

 

Anyone know?

1 year 15 weeks ago Darboh, Chesson & Braden

Darboh and Chesson because of their incredible stories.

 

Braden because he was first (I think?)

1 year 19 weeks ago U-M vs CMU 2 games prior to that...

that was my freshman year, when I was one of what seemed like 12 season-ticket holders.  The low point to me was the game vs Central Mich that made us 0-5.  Chris Kaman had 30 pts and 21 rbs and their PF had 28 and 9.  

That freshman class (Horton, Brown, Abram, Hunter) may never have quite met expectations but I think really moved the program along from a super low point...
