10 weeks 5 days ago	Not sure if trolling	Bill Murray used the term "Cinderella Story" in Caddyshack to refer to an underdog winning.  So underdogs are Cinderella.  Cinderella went to the ball also known as a dance.  Hence, the big dance.
12 weeks 1 day ago	Also:	Provided Michigan beats Kansas and Gulf Coast beats Florida, on a scale of 1-10 how crushed would you be if they beat Michigan?  Gotta admit it'd be fun to see this team in the final four, no matter how big the dong punch.

17 weeks 5 days ago	I like to remember the	I like to remember the Wisconsin game a few years back--the infamous "backboard game."  The season seemed lost and everything hopeless, but everyone remembers that season for the tournament (The Eulogy of Bruce Pearl and KICK IT OUT TO STU, DARIUS!).  The season's not over and there's still a lot of basketball to be played.  Beilein has seen low points in a season and has seen his teams recover well.

20 weeks 5 hours ago	1.)  I think there are	1.)  I think there are certain SEC programs that 'dirty' recruit players (e.g. "friendly" coeds and the like), but would guess that the number of SEC schools offering cash to players is pretty low and not much above average compared to the rest of the country. 2.)If there was more Ben Franklin handshakes, then I think more people would come forward than just the "he said, she said" stories that are usually passed down through the grapevine.  Just one man's opinion

23 weeks 2 days ago	If confirmed, it would make	If confirmed, it would make for a pretty pessimistic offseason for MSU.  Please be true.
23 weeks 3 days ago	Criticizing the decision is	Criticizing the decision is fine (i.e. USC's situation, coach, what would appeal to him about playing there, etc.), but too often people on this site and elsewhere get so caught up in it that they resort to namecalling, putdowns, or wild speculations (e.g. "Michigan is a much better fit for him, School X must be paying him.  School X is a bunch of cheaters).   In the end, you may disagree with the presumed reasons that a recruit picked a school, but only the kid and his family know the real reasons and made the decision they felt was best for them.  Even if you don't think it was the best for them, you have to respect the decision.

Not necessarily "rooting".  There's no denying it's good for their program.  As far as "learning from mistakes", I am hopeful that the precedent has been set for universities so that nothing like this will happen again in the manner that this took place. PSU didn't get a slap on the wrist (though if anyone was rooting for the death penalty, then anything would seem minor in comparison).  Furthermore, I find the lawsuit to be disappointing, but the university has made it clear that it is not affiliated with it in any way, so I would say that it's fair to assume they university learned their lesson.
