If you don't want to pay for bar drinks drink at home. |
| 1 week 3 days ago | Daniel Horton |
I love all the players on this list, but will go with Horton first. He single-handedly beat Bo Ryan (down by 14 with 5 min to go) as a freshman. In most years, his freshman (but for sanctions) and senior teams would have gone to the tournament. At one point he made something like 45 straight free throws. I'm not an Amaker-hater, but wonder what he could have done with Beilein. I think as a shooter he would have fit Beilein's system, but I also think under Beilein he would have been helped to become more of a passer etc. |
| 1 week 4 days ago | What made a mistake at the time |
Almost everyone agrees that RichRod's 3 years on the field meant that in retrospect his hiring was a mistake, but what it made a mistake at the time. He had won BCS bowl games and was a game away from the Nat'l Championship. Yes, Les Miles was bigger time but who was Schiano (the other candidate)? W. Virginia is certainly bigger time than Miami of Ohio or San Diego State. I think MSC shoudl have simply said that she's sorry it didn't work out and is that she's thrilled with our current coach. |

If I understand the rules, and the limit is 3 - then Mike Hart, Manny Harris, and Shawn Hunwick. |

I never met him, but his original shop in Flint is one of the best hockey stores around. Very sad news. |

Sorry -- downtown Ann Arbor. |
| 10 weeks 6 days ago | Tonight |
I really think this should be easier than NW. Beilein usually finds a way to exploit the weaknesses in athletic but not terribly talented teams. My wife (who's a big Mich BB fan than me) can't drive to Indy (may go tomorrow if there's a reason to) but are thinking of watching downtown. Does anyone have any recommendations as where we might find folks cheering Michigan on (Arena, Bar Louie Conors?)? |
| 10 weeks 6 days ago | Florida |
This is a question (not a criticism, or an effort to get into a Hoke/RR debate), but I've noticed that you seem to never see Florida players on the list. I realize that prior to Rodriguez we only got a few guys from there -- Hutchinson, Rivas, & Baas come to mind - but would think that the fame of Denard would raise our profile in the Sunshine state. Is there anyone we're looking in Florida who didn't make it into this post? Again, I'm thrilled with Hoke's recruiting and am in favor of focusing on the midwest, but seeing players from Georgia, Texas and California made me wonder about the absence of Florida kids. |
| 11 weeks 1 day ago | On Amaker |
I want to congratulate and defend Tommy Amaker. Yes, he wasn't the coach that Beilein is (and may never be), but here are a few of points in his favor: 1. I believe we would have made the tournament his 2nd year if not for the sanctions (he only had 17 wins but had a 13 straight win streak in the B10 and was a 3 seed in the B10 tournament). The NIT win says to me that the 2004 was NCAA-worthy. 2. His mid-Michgian career recruiting fell off, but his early classes (Horton, Harris, Abrams, Hunter Sims) and his last couple of classes (Manny Harris, Deshawn Sims, Udoh, Legion) were good. 3. He may not have been great at developing players but I saw progress in Graham Brown, Chris Hunter, Courtney Sims (to a lesser extent) and Dion Harris. 4. Finally, as was noted above, he was a class act who never embarrassed Michigan during a difficult time. Even after he was fired he urged his recruits to stay.
