OK…we deserved one of those!

Someone does not trust their…

Someone does not trust their QB any longer. Good boring 3 and out…

GOAAALLL! We’ll that didn’t…

GOAAALLL! We’ll that didn’t take long. And we’ll deserved. Great job, men!

I f’ng hate college…

I f’ng hate college basketball. That was a foul, in any incarnation of the game.

Or he’s both gone and…

Or he’s both gone and staying at the same time. Just don’t open the box!

Would have been nice to call…

Would have been nice to call that hook n hold in our game. Why didn’t they go to the replay then?

Not exactly the same start…

Not exactly the same start Gonzaga enjoyed. They’ll pull it together...

None.

None.

LOLOLOL!!! Oh my god, how is…

LOLOLOL!!! Oh my god, how is Michigan in this position?

Yeah...that was OPI. Oh well.

Yeah...that was OPI. Oh well.

Man...how did we win this…

Man...how did we win this game? Great, gritty job by the M men!

Ball don't lie!

Ball don't lie!

I was definitely expecting…

I was definitely expecting them to call the foul on the Winston drive. 

We’re the only team in the…

We’re the only team in the country who gets that kind of call against us our home court. Just shit all the way around.

Nope...

Nope...

Oh my god...

Oh my god...

That’s why I turned it off…

That’s why I turned it off. Much better for the sanity.

Turning it off. Completely…

Turning it off. Completely fucking unwatchable with this kind of reffing.

Just Iike the pass Fields…

Just Iike the pass Fields threw after rolling his ankle. OSU QBs never gak a pass like that against us. 

To my mind, it's not just…

To my mind, it's not just admissions. I agree that the vast majority of kids accepted at the football factory schools would have gotten accepted at Michigan if we had been their selection. But I do wonder how many don't come here (and how many we choose not to pursue) because of the relative rigor and academic expectation of a Michigan program compared to those at the football factory schools.

I'm sure that Michigan athletes can take easier programs than the average Michigan student, but when you can stay eligible by taking only online classes (ahem, Justin Fields and Joe Burrows) or by taking an easier program at a much less demanding university, there is additional selection bias at work.

Call me naive (and I'm sure a lot of you will!) but it's not simply admissions criteria at work here.

This comment didn’t age well…

This comment didn’t age well. Thank god!

Having degrees from both, I…

Having degrees from both, I would heartily agree!

Actually had 48 in the…

Actually had 48 in the tiebreaker. Little bro had 54. I think a lot of us got hurt with that scoop and score. All we needed was a little sideways bounce...

I know, right? And he’s that…

I know, right? And he’s that sparty alum who “got into U of M” but decided to go to State because his friends were going there. Somehow that’s not my memory of those events. If he had gotten accepted to Michigan while I was there, damn right he’d have been in Ann Arbor.

Yeah, thanks but no thanks…

Yeah, thanks but no thanks Jourdan. Was sitting nicely with the weekly win in the Pick ‘Em pool, when he adds 7 to Dallas’ score and hands the tie breaker to my brother. My little brother at that (yes, he’s a sparty). D’oh!

Nice play. Nice TD. Very…

Nice play. Nice TD. Very good drive. Doing OK for a road homecoming game. Wiscy couldn’t survive that.

Ballsy call...I like it!

Ballsy call...I like it!

Yeah...that was a bad spot.

Yeah...that was a bad spot.

Goddam son! That’s the way…

Goddam son! That’s the way to start a game. Go Blue!

Definitely down. But still…

Definitely down. But still...WTF??

Yep...was sure we were going…

Yep...was sure we were going to do it again!

+3!

+3!

Rare to see a defense white…

Rare to see a defense white flag it on the first drive. My god is Illinois bad.

Col. Lousma visited us in…

Col. Lousma visited us in the Aero department in '79 or '80 as he was training for his Shuttle mission. By the time he flew STS-3 in 1982 I was working in the Shuttle Division at Rockwell, where we watched him pop a wheelie on touchdown (an inadvertent nose pitch-up after touchdown) which could have ended badly. Luckily he recovered it and avoided tarnishing the reputation of the M Aero department ;-). He was a stud astronaut, as were the Apollo 15 astronauts!

Giving the board nightmares…

Giving the board nightmares. Thanks man...

So, putting your elbow into…

So, putting your elbow into the opponent’s chest while blocking the shot is cool now?

That, coupled with the…

That, coupled with the missed over and back just before it, turned the game, I agree.

It was. 

It was. 

If by “questionable” you…

If by “questionable” you mean “non-existent,” then yes, I agree. POS referees are what make college basketball suck. And another example. Bulling their way through our kids, and then a phantom three point foul. Fuck them.

Go ice cold and let them…

Go ice cold and let them back in the game. Damn...

After the missed out of…

After the missed out of bounds and the phantom foul on Matthews, it just means we’re not getting hosed continuously. Which feels like the home whistle, I guess.

Charles didn’t even touch…

Charles didn’t even touch him! Goddamn...even on our home court the stripes like to screw us.

And look...they’re carrying…

And look...they’re carrying the refs off on their shoulders! We played like shit, but we still would have won with a fairly called game. Just fucking painful.

And their guy shoots the…

And their guy shoots the same off balance prayer that Poole does...and it hits. 43% from 3? JFC, every single bit of blind luck going their way. And we still will find a way to win. I can feel it...

And the fucking stripes want…

And the fucking stripes want to enable the upset. Such utter horseshit.

I don’t know why I keep…

I don’t know why I keep watching basketball. The reffing is so capricious. Should have called a held ball twice, then a mugging and steal. Causing a different kind of aneurysm than the one in the Diaries...

No call when Z is hatcheted,…

No call when Z is hatcheted, so of course you have to call him for brushing someone on the other end. Fucking stripes make college basketball pathetic.

Agreed...just stupid…

Agreed...just stupid inconsistent both ways.

What the FUCK is that…

What the FUCK is that reffing? Just spin the roulette wheel to decide if you’re going to call a foul?
