Looks like I’m in the minority here but I think this is exciting.  Much happier about adding them than RU and Maryland.

Belushi’s is an American style sports bar chain in London.  I’d guess they’d be showing it but I would check ahead to be sure.  You also will likely need to reserve a table.

I don't profess to be a good lip reader, but it looked like Houstan called the ref 'bald man' on the way back down the court.  If that's true can see why bald ref man t'ed him up! (Also is pretty funny).

Frustrating that there isn't more hockey on the BTN, or even picked up by some of the other "Fox sports" college channels that I have.  There were several times this year when there were just reruns of old shows/games airing instead of Michigan hockey games.  Maybe they were on BTN+ or whatever, but if they want to increase eyeballs/exposure, you've got to highlight the games better.

From Rivals:

Just before Devin Davis stepped to the line for two free throws that would have clinched a Houston win over Michigan in the round of 32, Cougars guard Rob Gray approached U-M freshman shooting guard Jordan Poole.

Poole engaged him in conversation for a few seconds before he realized what was going on.

“With 3.6 seconds left you’re kind of thinking the game’s over, anyway,” Poole said. “I really wasn’t trying to talk to him … I was like, ‘whatever.’

“He kept talking to me, but I was like, I’ve got way too much pride to just let him bark in my ear right now. I said, ‘yeah,’ told him where I’m from [Milwaukee] and everything [and that he wouldn't be punked], and he kind of felt like I was being a little sassy, so he decided to bark back.”

Gray told him, ‘Well, you’re about to go back to Milwaukee.”

Poole didn’t respond, thinking like many that the Wolverines had lost.

“I was like, ‘oh, he’s bold,’ but what am I going to say in a situation like that? There are three seconds left,” Poole recalled. “I’d be crazy if I said something back.”

The rest, of course, is history. Davis missed both free throws and Poole nailed the game winner from 29 feet with a hand in his face to give the Wolverines a 64-63 win.

I think man bun guy for Houston talked trash to JP before the shot.  Something like - asking him where he's from, and when JP told him, he said looks like you'll be headed there soon.  LOL

I muted the game in the Second Half because some guy/kid(?) was sitting behind the BTN mics and screaming and driving me nails-on-chalkboard crazy.

Ref should have walked away from Beilein at half.  Have no idea what Beilein said, but guessing it was PG-13 at worst. Even if -gasp- Beilein dropped an f-bomb - BFD, let it go, man.

This made me remember Brandon telling Hoke that he wanted to hire him without an agreed upon salary (just like like Bo!) and then Hoke's attorney/agent taking Brandon behind the woodshed for that dumb as rocks attempt at a PR stunt. SMDH  We've come a long ways, folks!

The worst

It was/is driving me nuts.

Checking in . . .

A "Go Blue!" to all of the old faithful and a "thank you" to Brian and staff.   

Blackburn

Also recall what was a huge conundrum when both Michigan's goalie and MSU's goalie were named Blackburn.   IIRC, we sharted a "JOEY - SIEVE" chant instead of Blackburn- Sieve. Good times.  

Carrot?

Anyone recall the fan/parent(?) of an opposing team who brought in an actual carrot on a string and stick in an effort to "get back" at the jeers?  Am guessing it was in 98 or something like that.  Needless to say, it backfired.      

J Dilla

Late to party but . . .

Was flying out of DTW yesterday.  Lots of people lined up for missed flights.  Tried to get on an early flight to NYC (there were open seats and I had only carry on), but they would only put me on the flight if I paid $50 extra dollars per passenger(!).  I tried to explain that with all the chaos, it probably makes more sense to put me (and my family) on to clear room for later flights.  And to charge us $50 per person when there are plenty of open seats, and when Delta was gettting national press about a major screw-up, seemed not to be a great idea.  The gate agent was having none of it.  Sure enough - a later flight to NYC was cancelled and my flght was delayed 7 hours.  Lots of angry people.  Dumb gate agent.  

Harold Reynolds

I can't speak to his color commentary, but I think that he is really good on MLB's Baseball Tonight show.  

Joe Buck

Joe Buck - he just grates on me.  Too smarmy.

Chris Berman - I literally cannot take listening to him any longer.  

Forgot another - Doug Flutie is pretty terrible (I don't even know if he is still in the business . . .)
