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.' "

5 days 9 hours ago The point was just made

The point was just made above, as I was typing this - Nov. 8 @ Ryan field is an awesome home game... let's make it feel that way to the purple-clad who show up anyway!!!

Weather-wise there's always a chance of a repeat of the great deluge of '98, where we won the game but lost the war.

Then again, there's always a chance of a lovely crisp Autumn evening in Evanston!

4 weeks 1 day ago I moved away 30 years ago & still miss it!I will

I moved away 30 years ago & still miss it!
I will say it's an infinitely cooler place to be 23-30 than when I left...
enjoy myself immensely every fall when I make my pilgrammage. Can't wait!

4 weeks 6 days ago Yes my thoughts as well... Why couldn't THJ

Yes my thoughts as well...
Why couldn't THJ improve his game with another year?
He's just quite honestly NOT an NBA player at this time!
His passion, his energy, his occasional scoring bursts will be missed at Michigan... they will not earn playing time at the professional level in this country, however.
BAD decision - and I'm assuming wondering if he did it for need of coin was a joke?!

6 weeks 2 days ago whoa! waitaminnit... ya wanna watch the goshdurn

whoa! waitaminnit... ya wanna watch the goshdurn National Championship game, but the goldang thing runs til maybe midnight?!

18 weeks 2 days ago Kind of sad really... when

Kind of sad really...
when someone says Samuelson upgraded schools when switching from Nebraska to U-M, you trot out comparisons of relative Post-WWII football success...
The phrase "unclear on the concept" comes to mind.
I will use this forum to both agree that the young man has steadily upgraded his situation, and share concern he has done so perhaps too frequently.

21 weeks 1 day ago Brandon Marshall? 4th round?!

in a 20-team league?!?!
Pretty obvious how you stormed thru that league to your destiny!
Stick with those marks, you don't wanna try playing with experienced players...

21 weeks 1 day ago Your travails bring joy

to those who win their leagues with humility & grace.
You know - the Michigan Way!?
The epic detailing of how bad luck is all that stopped you from gloating again actually reminded me of how Urban Meyer would talk about his fantasy team... y'know, if he had time for that!

24 weeks 2 days ago The MLB-ncaa analogy

isn't just apples to oranges, its apples to bowling balls.
If the Chisox finished 1 gm behind the Tigers despite dominating the season series, you'd know that they both played their other games vs identical opposition, with identical home/road splits.
Stanford beat Oregon, in Eugene, and their ooc loss was at #1 ND, in a game many feel they actually won. Oregon didn't play ND ooc, they played Tennessee Tech!
So elevating Oregon over Stanford into a playoff based on that result actually rewards "worst practice" scheduling, and cheapens the playoff.
This is perhaps the best outcome of having a committee pick the entrants rather than a bcs style poll. All teams' complete schedules will hopefully be considered, along with head-to-head outcomes, and conference standings.
Another outcome I'd hope would be considered in a future playoff is exemplified by Georgia vs Florida for a playoff spot, despite adding a loss to their record in an extremely competitive SEC title game. ESPN, et al seem to automatically elevate Fla over Uga in their "what if" debates.
I'd definitely hope that losing in the conference championship gm wouldn't penalize a team, having teams they've defeated & finished above move past them (unless they lose like the Huskers did, in which case we should DEFINITELY be moved ahead of them by bowl selectors!)

26 weeks 2 days ago Ex-frickin-zactly...

...let's NEVER have a NASCAR thread again!

Ignoring it isn't enuf...

Banishment is the only appropriate action!

Please, please believe me, talking about politics will be far less fractious.

Mods, lift the politics moratorium & in its stead place one on discussion vehicle racing.

Please consider this!

26 weeks 2 days ago Actually, yeah dude, I have

Actually, yeah dude, I have some questions:
Somehow Saban is LESS DESPICABLE?!?!

I didn't make it to Dallas, but the descriptions of Tide fans as the type to wear Dockers & apply hair products for a football game sounded a lot like Domers. They are further away tho!

Is there an accepted meme here that we compete w/ ND for recruits but not SEC teams? Marquise Maze, Nico Johnson are 2 I can think of off the top who had M on their list, or even decommited, to go to Bama. Not to mention all the recruits we're battling auburn for lately?!

Kelly may have negligently allowed a student to put himself in harms way, but does anyone think Saban cares about ANY students... on the team or otherwise? He'll over-sign, medical, and use any other under-handed means necessary to gain an advantage.

He'll schedule Coastal Carolina for late Nov...

Man I could really go on for quite awhile about why it is NOT BETTER - for M or college FB - for Saban & the SEC to win the BCS again.

That being said, the Tide will "Roll" ND when/if that comes to pass. Barkley injury makes it pretty unlikely SC will stop it. But me, I'll be rooting for Auburn & Uga over Bama!

All work & no play
makes Jack a dull boy

26 weeks 6 days ago I can barely remember what

I can barely remember what it's like to be so young that this is the most excited you'd ever have been about a Michigan hoops team... yet I still so CLEARLY recall the excitement of returning nearly all the '76 NCAA runners-up & beginning '76-77 @ #1...
and the thrill of setting out to defend the '89 title - albeit minus Glen Rice & Rumeal Robinson...
and of course being CERTAIN that the experience of losing to Duke in the finals in '92 was just what the Fab 5 would need to win M a 2nd title in 4 years....
So yes, I'm an old fuck, and I'm very intrigued with this team's potential... but I've got my memories, dammit, and we used to EXPECT to be this good... at LEAST!!

27 weeks 3 days ago he had a receiver in the

he had a receiver in the area... totally covered, but in the area!
how is that grounding?!

27 weeks 3 days ago Yup PatFitz did himself no

Yup PatFitz did himself no honor with that jut-jawed moronic leaping about after his QB is nailed late.
Not even an assistant coach should react like that.
That's what fans are for!
Like to think that reaction was "Instant Karma'd" by Tree's catch in a most delightful way...

30 weeks 9 hours ago I love the specificity of

I love the specificity of your rebuttal, but...
you CANNOT ask Brian not to publish criticism - especially extremely well-diagrammed, alternative-laden criticism - on the theory that it may splinter the fan-base!
I've been just so, so happy we finally put sparty down that I have set aside the nagging feeling that we could be doing more for the time being.
Howeva... c'mon, saying we should run OL sets that attempt to deceive the D at least a little bit isn't - can't really be - that harmful to the cohesiveness of fan-base can it?!

31 weeks 1 day ago and yes Carl G did say we

and yes Carl G did say we were part of the largest crowd watching a football game in America that day1

31 weeks 1 day ago you need to go back to

you need to go back to obsessing about 3 & Out Section... there were not - and can NEVER be - fewer than 100K in the House!
You see, as we finally dragged our soggy asses back downtown to a warm, dry bar, the PA thanked us for being part of, I believe he said, the 241st CONSECUTIVE crowd of over 100,00!
So you can see now where you HAVE to reassess your predicted head count, right Sect?!
Bashing the AD for undercutting RichRod is all well & fine for a predilection, but don't go shatting on us that spent over 3 hrs in a cold drizzle by suggesting WE were part of the crowd that broke that streak... kaykay?!

33 weeks 6 days ago Well, actually it's more like...

...if RichRod succeeds elsewhere it makes us look like WE failed, not him.
I mean, who wants that?... Other than RichRod?!

37 weeks 1 day ago tell you the truth...

... this is exactly what I started saying around half-way through the 1st quarter. As it became apparent we were not going to utilize ANY Denard runs or misdirection, but rather were going to force feed a pocket passing offense onto him, I said exactly this:
We (our coaches) watched film, analyzed our best options, and decided there was not a Damn thing we could do to win this game.
So, that being accepted, why show anything? Why risk anything? Why not "keep the powder dry" and "save some bullets" for ND & the B1G schedule?
So while anyone can criticize Borges, Denard, Hoke, the refs, Brandon, Richrod, Jerry Jones, Delta Airlines, Mattison, any-& everyone they want... I defy anyone- on this board or any other- to suggest any gameplan that would've had ANY chance at victory.
If, on the other hand, we successfully utilize an attack more reminiscent of the ohio gm going forward, then we can take solace in the notion that we gave away no secrets in DFW.

40 weeks 6 days ago can I get something straight here:

is there a Magnus, Mangus & a Mangos on this board?
For reals?
So.. the one who purports to know about football & adds shots of
hotties to his site is Magnus?
The one who includes links to Kate wet t-shirt photos is Mangus?
Who is mango then? What are you contributing, sir/madam?

42 weeks 1 day ago Or maybe some people just...

...enjoy football - even when their favorite team is being showed up as slow, unimaginative & unprepared in comparison w/ its opponent.
But hey - those Seminole teams were full of cheaters... so there's that!

42 weeks 5 days ago RR... sheesh is right

After reading how pathetic his talent judgement (both athletically & academically)... don't you wish we.could.fire him again!?

47 weeks 14 hours ago you may not be the only one wondering...

...but you're for sure the only one being a Dick. As per usual!
Over-selling that whole "got a life, too busy angle"... No?

48 weeks 10 hours ago Jon06 - why be such a...

Fuckface to a MGoBlog reader just tryin to hep out?
Oh wait... you work for that ohio printer right!?
