Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

4 days 7 hours ago I'm surprised he is not more focused...

...on disaster relief, after being forced to run the option in Hurricane Katrina*



* Note: I did not actually watch that game, but I relied on a recounting from newscaster and eyewitness Mike Valenti.



Seriously, though, props to Stanton for being active in the charitable community. I am proud when current and former Michigan players are involved, but the needy benefit whoever's name is on it.

1 week 1 day ago The one and only, you can't

The one and only, you can't clone me (er...him)

1 week 2 days ago Aside from the shove, I'm not

Aside from the shove, I'm not sure about the whole "play like thugs" thing. Honestly, how is a team that STARTS Marco Bellineli and Nate Robinson supposed to even stay close to the Heat? Add on top of that a second-year non-star (Butler) is tasked with playing all 48 while guarding LeBron. This is a team that should get blown out like game 2 every game, but they are making enough plays to stay in it. This is not, as one poster pointed out, the Bad Boys with multiple future HOFers and all-stars.



I don't like the shove but I don't really care about the whining on either side. LeBron never believes that he commits a foul and stops and stares at the refs every time he misses a layup in traffic, but so what? The Bulls' coach did lose his cool at the end of Game 3 (as did a few players) and that is a bit embarrassing.



I'm sensing much of the criticism of the Bulls (based on the language people choose, accounting for the fact this is the internetz and we are almost all anonymous) is based on dislike of Chicago sports. That's fine--I'm sure there will be hate from Chicago when the Lions and Pistons are competitive with or better than the Bulls and Bears (both happened in the recent past and will again). In the meantime, I guess engage in therapeutic flaming of Chicago sports...

Big 3, little 11 (and counting)

1 week 3 days ago Mmmm Hmmm

I approve

1 week 3 days ago I was about to sarcastically

I was about to sarcastically post about being forced to run a 5-2 base defense in order to get the best 11 on the field, but then I remembered all those linebackers that we have. First world problems indeed...

1 week 3 days ago Most B1G schools would be like Wisconsin

If they had varsity men's crew (perennially top-15 and sometimes national championship contenders) with a good coach. Because even some of the best programs nationwide rely on walkons, a good coach and decent recruiting would put a Michigan in great position nationally.

2 weeks 1 day ago Also, in Newton's case, his

Also, in Newton's case, his trip to JUCO was after some alleged criminal transgressions (if memory serves) at Florida, where he went after high school.



Kansas State under Snyder is the master of JUCO-ing up the lineup and they have found some success over the years, so it can be done. But recruiting JUCO when you normally build through HS recruiting may or may not work for a position of need in a given year like Urban's OL.

3 weeks 2 days ago Good thing Mississippi State was not sending those letters...

...years ago.  Can you imagine?

To Drew Dileo: "You're a threat"

To Jordan Kovacs: "You're gritty and heady"

To Thomas Gordan: "You've got prison abs" (explanation: http://mgoblog.com/content/2009-recruiting-thomas-gordon)

To Will Campbell: "You're big-boned"

To Denard: "You're shoes are untied" (for the grammar-lovers out there...you know whoever wrote the Ferns letter would mess that up)

3 weeks 4 days ago It's as if Brady Hoke is

It's as if Brady Hoke is taking a Matt Millen approach to recruiting sans underachieving/(alleged) pothead selections. All the WRs to Michigan!

6 weeks 2 days ago I don't want to speculate how

I don't want to speculate how long that will last, but assuming it won't be until Monday what do you plan to do with the rest of your day?

6 weeks 2 days ago BUMP!

Perhaps it is time to bump this thread....

6 weeks 2 days ago After watching Syracuse sent

After watching Syracuse send two long, athletic guards to pester Burke around the half-court line, I suddenly knew what Shaka Smart meant about "heating up the point guard", but Burke did not overheat, so to speak...

That does not show up on the stat sheet but limiting turnovers was a huge plus.

6 weeks 2 days ago Charge OF Block?

...Not guilty.

It is pretty hard, however, to advance to the National Championship Game without some (or many) close calls going your way.  We would be very sore about those calls if the Cuse won and the calls went against us, but, as with any successful team: Close calls--we haz them!

Gottlieb just said on the post-game show that Florida screwed up not guarding Nik Stauskus because he is a shooter...proof positive that he is not just a shooter.

Probably--the KenPom voters are strongly influenced by recent results, as long as they are nationally televised.

...who wishes Don Criqui and the ND radio team was broadcasting for Kansas and repeating their broadcasting from UTL? I think the 2011 UTL call by the ND radio team had to be one of the top moments of sportscaster schadenfreude of all time.

Coach, you have to hold your hands further apart to do the five dollar foot long dance--the preferred gyration for the craziest parties.

7 weeks 5 days ago Yeah, but in typical SEC

Yeah, but in typical SEC fashion it is probably year-to-year and Saban will probably end up getting a medical hardship release if he ever misses a bowl game. Not that I anticipate that happening absent an NCAA ban...

Michigan 67

Kansas 65



That is all.

8 weeks 3 days ago Michigan by three touchdowns

Gibbons won't even need to think about brunettes.

I hope we can get our ground game going early, though, and take pressure off DG.

8 weeks 5 days ago Maybe he had just watched

Maybe he had just watched that BW3 commercial where 256 teams make the tourney. March-May Madness!
