Nicely done, sir.

2 days 9 hours ago As a fan of the Detroit pro

As a fan of the Detroit pro sports teams, I will wholeheartedly support the Ilitch family over the Fords.

2 weeks 15 hours ago It's a FIRE! Sale.

It's a FIRE! Sale.

2 weeks 4 days ago I don't really have a problem

I don't really have a problem with the suspension. Hard to argue he didn't make contact with his head and it directly resulted in an injury.

I understand people freaking out at the NHL, and it largely is justified. How Weber didn't get benched last year is absolutely beyond me, but that doesn't mean this hit was clean.

Neg away...

4 weeks 7 hours ago Not to mention Tae Odoms...

Not to mention Tae Odoms...

4 weeks 2 days ago No. The car wash is a

No. The car wash is a reference to how ESPN shuttles athletes through multiple programs throughout the day.

4 weeks 2 days ago Not even Denard would make me

Not even Denard would make me watch First Take. I'll wait til SportsCenter.

4 weeks 5 days ago Uhhh. No.

Uhhh. No.

4 weeks 6 days ago Fixed that for you

"Huge is kind of an ass-clown but he is AcTUally a Really gooD interviewer."

Fixed that for you.

4 weeks 6 days ago Good pickup for WMU. Don't

Good pickup for WMU. Don't rule out the fact he might want to stay close to home. WMU isn't a bad option compared to the bottom of the Big Ten. If M and MSU weren't gonna offer? What's the best option for your situation? MAC football still is a scholarship.

5 weeks 3 days ago So...only formal college and

So...only formal college and professional athletes are allowed to be critical? Regardless of their educated opinions? Do you watch anything other than ESPN?

5 weeks 4 days ago Damnit! Who let Bill Simonson

Damnit! Who let Bill Simonson sign up for an mgoblog account!?

6 weeks 3 days ago Mother of God. So. Many.

Mother of God. So. Many. Dunks. And alley-oops. And dagger 3-pointers.

It really just hammered home how much fun it is to watch this team when they are clicking on all cylinders. There were stretches in some of their tourney games where they looked like the damn Globetrotters.

One more game, boys. Get it done! Go blue!

6 weeks 4 days ago This, I like.

This, I like.

Just so we are clear, if a woman doesn't have fake tits or dresses like a stripper, she is a man.

6 weeks 5 days ago Ahem.

I'm here for the hang bang.

8 weeks 14 hours ago Not so fast my friend! Don't

Not so fast my friend! Don't forget, this is the NHL. Parity is key. Even more important is getting hot at the right time and strong goaltending. Howard is more than good enough to carry the Wings to a cup. Don't count them out.

9 weeks 4 days ago Wolters is a tremendous

Wolters is a tremendous player, but teams with size and skill in the paint are the teams that tend to bother U-M.



It really comes down to if Michigan plays its A game. They have more talent and athleticism than SDSU as well as VCU and Akron. It's a legit upset/choke job if M isn't in the sweet 16.

12 weeks 1 day ago The Blackhawks ruined Chelsea

The Blackhawks ruined Chelsea Dagger. U-M assisted in killing Seven Nation Army. Doesn't change my feelings toward The White Stripes.

12 weeks 2 days ago I agree with all of your

I agree with all of your points, but The Fratellis are pretty awesome.

12 weeks 3 days ago It's all gold, BiSB.

It's all gold, BiSB.

12 weeks 4 days ago It takes a lot of balls for

It takes a lot of balls for people to complain about the writing styles of a free (and fantastic) blog.



You don't like it? Fine. Move on. I think Brian and the gang are quite informative, solid writers and pretty damn funny. Constructive criticism is one thing. Bitching about how it doesn't fit your taste? Pointless and bordering on obtuse.

13 weeks 1 day ago Jacques

Somehow, this is perfect. God bless you, Interwebz.

13 weeks 5 days ago It's only a problem if they

It's only a problem if they both are on the field at the same time. There are plenty of repeat numbers when you include walk-ons. Unless Keizer is the next Jordan Kovacs, it's a non-issue.

13 weeks 6 days ago Me. Unranked on all major

Me. Unranked on all major recruiting services. What I lack in skill (none), I make up for in heart (four healthy valves). Can't overlook intangibles.

14 weeks 1 day ago Yo, person who is a fan of Pasadena.

I get it, buddy. You are frustrated. That was a shitty game last night. It sucked. But you look like a royal ass. And if you still are upset about Darryl Stonum, who hasn't been affiliated with the team for a year, you have some serious anger issues.

14 weeks 1 day ago I really appreciate you

I really appreciate you taking the time to vent about Darryl Stonum and Al Borges of all things in a story about how a young (but very talented) basketball team got their collective asses handed to them by another very good basketball team on the road.

You're a great human being.

14 weeks 6 days ago I'm having a hard time

I'm having a hard time reading this because I can't get past that picture of Bo Ryan. It is terrifying. It's like he is taking a deep breath and stealing children's souls. And the souls fuel his lust for ginger big men. This is proof there is pure evil in the world.

15 weeks 1 hour ago Ole Miss just came off a 7-6

Ole Miss just came off a 7-6 year. They play in the SEC and are in the south. Tons of top-end talent in FL, LA, TX. Not to mention, yeah, they are playing by ESS EEE SEE rules. $$$

15 weeks 2 hours ago I think the problem lies in

I think the problem lies in the fact that he is implying that the rest of the Big Ten isn't trying to recruit well? It's not like Minnesota wants the No. 54 class in the country (just guessing). It's because they are Minnesota and ... yeah. They are Minnesota. Not a hotbed of talent, not an attractive school for top-end recruits. 

If the also-ran teams of the Big Ten classes could bring in the best recruits, I'm sure they would.
