    Their high school coaches and AAU coaches have probably a better appreciation of Michigan than maybe they had before," Beilein said. "It's a tough balance right now. 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.' "

35 sec ago Now finish it!

Woooooo

16 hours 6 min ago Yes!!!

Elvis for his performance. Denard for his smile.

4 days 17 hours ago Rented for 6 years

Like others, had to move while prices were down Now we have rented it out for 6 years. We have a friend who does a couple of hours of stand-in for us every few years (stopping by the house, meeting a contractor etc). Other than that, we haven't had a need for a leasing company. We have handled repairs over the phone ( ie. call Home Depot home delivery to arrange a water heater installation). Rent paid over PayPal.



Other than that the other people's suggestions about taxes, depreciation, and landlord insurance are all spot on.



A lot depends if you are a nervous person or relaxed when issues happen. It can be stressful if you allow it.

6 days 19 hours ago Taste tested most of the drinks on the menu

and....what was I saying?

6 days 21 hours ago Thanks for the tip

Having a dinner get together tonight. I always like to have a 'drink of the night' to put into people's hands when they arrive. All whiskey drinks tonight. ( even though I pretty much hate all whiskey drinks).



Taste testing my Old Fashioned recipe now...yikes

1 week 5 days ago Sanctions

Just goes to show you have useless a 3-scholarship for each of 3 years penalty is. UM will be under the OSU limit again this year (not counting the bonus walk-on scholarships that will be given out)

2 weeks 3 days ago Retaining Home vs Away

Without switching years of your home and away, you are limited to the same half of the other conference. The top of that half will continue to play each other, see MSU vs UNC

3 weeks 18 hours ago Hard to believe

But it seems like they have won more than 16 of the past 29. In my mind I can only remember a couple of the 'off' years.

4 weeks 1 day ago Defense day

I remember mine well. A most satisfying day.



Congrats!!!

5 weeks 3 days ago I did this once too

I checked MSU's preseason rank  vs. seed vs. tourney run over the past several years.  If I remember right, the pre-season rank correlated with their tournament result FAR more than their seed.   

5 weeks 6 days ago Projections

For those of you who said 'Carlton may be the better player, but Burke it the more important recruit in this class', You were half more right and half more wrong than you could ever have guessed!

6 weeks 2 days ago Consistent?

They were kind of consistent:

  1. First half McGary got undercut on a rebound...no foul.  Hancock's potential 4th foul was an undercut...no foul  (you could include the 'over Burke's back rebound here, also not a foul even though it was kind of the opposite)
  2. Burke, clean block - foul; on the Hancock undercut, clean block up top - foul (no, this wasn't Dieng.  They got the right guy if they ruled the block a foul)
  3. Pump fakes without a real basketball move to draw contact - foul both times.  With a real basketball move ( GR3) - also a foul
  4. Arm bars for the first 40 feet someone dribbled - never a foul.  In the 41st foot - ~3  fouls called.  (I'm sure UL was upset at some of these)

/s

6 weeks 4 days ago Wished we had the great finish

It was a great game of back and forth.  UL was one play away from opening a real lead for about 6 minutes from 11:00 remaining to 5:00 remaining, with every time UM made a play to cut it to 2 or 3.

With 5:00 to go UL was up 3 going in for the momentum building score when Burke made the block.  ...players make plays....  Without that call, the back and forth continues down the stretch.  With the call, UL got some momentum, made a number of good plays, and made it a desperate comeback finish instead of what that game deserved.

(additional boo, if they called the over the back with 0:50 to go, Burke could have made 2 FTs to cut it to a 2 point game.  Woooo, that too could have made for a great finish!)

6 weeks 4 days ago Watched it again today

Mostly just the 2nd half.  And, with the benefit of soberness and a day of perspective, and rewind/slo-mo, the officiating in the 2nd half was just as bad, if not worse, than it seemed at full speed last night.

'For every UL foul that should have been, I think there was one on us that should have been called' - Nope.  It's a style thing and a ref thing.  Style-wise, they clutch, grab, and challenge everything.  I'll agree with you, that the officials chose to let that go, and that is ok.  Every game has its own rules, if you will.  But the obvious missed calls really were about 10-2 against us.  

The only one I will 'defend' the refs on, was Hancock's non-4th foul.  Yes, they got the  wrong guy, but they didn't give it to a player away from the play.  They gave it to the guy who made the clean block.  The announcers got it wrong; Dieng was up at the foul line contesting the pass.  Missed call, but not terrible.  They often won't call a foul on a guy laying on the floor.

6 weeks 4 days ago Haven't tried yet

But I will be lamenting Trey's block call. Players make plays down the stretch. That was an amazing play. But the call and the subsequent UM miss, led it to being a comeback situation, instead of the heavyweight 12th round spectacular that this game deserved.

6 weeks 4 days ago In October

I thought those of us predicting a F4 run were crazy. That has made the past 2 weekends that much more fun.



All else aside, Louisville made shots ( many of them very difficult) down the stretch. They will feel like they made the plays to win, and they are right. The 'youngest team in the NCAA ' will have the opportunity to learn from this and make more plays in the future.

6 weeks 4 days ago Great to good

The game was punch- counter punch all game, until this counterpunch was taken away.



It could have been a great final 5:00.

6 weeks 4 days ago I love selected stats

This is a good one!!

6 weeks 4 days ago True dat.

6 weeks 6 days ago Let's finish off

The all-80's final four. Even WSt had a good team for a year or two back then

6 weeks 6 days ago Dumbest analysis?

"Indiana had small guards, this is completely different". --while UM had Burke and Spike in the game

6 weeks 6 days ago Flagrant 1? Didn't get a

Flagrant 1? Didn't get a great look but looked like a shot to the face

6 weeks 6 days ago Worried about a jinx

Maybe those of us worried about Brian jinxing us with that Louisville preview didn't understand the rules of the jinx ?

7 weeks 5 days ago Anywhere

Lagassi Stadium looked cool but a) you need reservations and b) they had a $50 minimum per person ( and we had just eaten).



We went to a regular Mexican restaurant bar along the Venetian 'canal'. During our comeback vs Kansas, the place got into it. Happy hour drinks and we got out of there for $20....not that I am cheap or anything :)

7 weeks 6 days ago 3...2...1

Final four!!!!!

7 weeks 6 days ago What

I have to switch over to the tennis channel to watch the end of this?!

7 weeks 6 days ago Jogging pick

By craft to open that up.

7 weeks 6 days ago Pg shooting

Craft and Scott have combined for 11 shots, almost all of them jumpers. That is a bad recipe for OSU. At least Thompson hasn't taken a shot.
