the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

| 3 days 54 min ago | Well that was certainly a proportional response. |
So that's nice |
| 6 days 20 hours ago | I think you read too much into language in posts |
in trying to make your exaggerated points. |
| 6 days 20 hours ago | I'm not sure I disagree much... |
I've long expected Fitz to parlay his on-field success plus NU's academic standing into recruiting (like JH and now Shaw at Stanford). One class is far from enough, but I could see NU consistenly recruiting on the top half of the league. I hope they do. |
| 6 days 20 hours ago | Seems silly |
Posting to say the thread is stupid is accurate and ok; posting to say "who cares?" is contradictory and annoying?
The act of replying to a post hardly evidences great feeling and emotion; takes about 2 seconds, and "who cares" conveys poster's exasperation with the subject matter of MSU always cluttering the boards, no? |
| 6 days 20 hours ago | Meh |
Message board posts along the line of "Player X commits to rival school, rival school complains about said commitment" is an endless carousel. Happens on UM sites as well. It's just not freaking newsworthy. |

That he has a great head in his shoulders. And that he loves U of M. Disagree that those attributes have much of anything to do with staying a fifth year if he's a top 10 pick. |
| 2 weeks 2 days ago | No |
We should be breaking down horse recruits for UM's soccer team. |
| 2 weeks 2 days ago | Yeah, guys |
It's almost like speculating on where a HS kid will go to college - whether you are paid to speculate or not - is pointless. |
| 2 weeks 3 days ago | I hear you. |
Assuming that, like me, you aren't a scout, it's easiest (and probably most fun) when our program goes after guys universally rated highly by scouting services and/or have offers from programs we consider "big time." But it is so evident that Beilein knows what he's doing -- from Stu, to Zack, to Darius (highly rated recruit, but essentially came down to Wash St. and us), to THJ, to Trey, to GRIII before he blew up on the rating services, etc.... I mean, really, with Beilein, this is just sit back and let the man do his work, time for me. |
| 2 weeks 3 days ago | That kid is fantastic. |
I have a 1.5 year old son; working on his "Go Blue." Currently sounds like "Bo Blue," which might actually be a nod towards Bo. |
| 3 weeks 23 hours ago | I negged the OP |
But I love this thread. So there's that. Also, in the OP's defense, his sleuthing didn't lead to the disastrous consequences of Reddit's crimefighting, so he's A-OK in my book. |
| 3 weeks 4 days ago | I had M. Krislov for a seminar in Law School |
Before he moved to Oberlin. Good guy, I liked him a lot. |
| 4 weeks 1 day ago | MSC was fantastic |
It's a loss for the University, but I expect a great candidate to get the job. |
| 4 weeks 2 days ago | I don't mean to quibble |
People can post what they want here.
But as you said -- it's all speculation. Not sure what you mean that you hope people don't take the comment out of context -- there is no context, just speculation. Really not a fan of threads being started speculating about transfers, but whatever. I said my piece. |
| 4 weeks 2 days ago | You've heard |
Of the possibility of Morgan transferring from who? I mean, people talk about a lot of things, but is this just idle speculation ("Morgan might be annoyed about his limited minutes; I could see him transferring," says man at the bar during the L'ville game) or something from someone connected to Morgan?
If the former; I don't know, man. I'm not a fan of threads based on "people talking" about random shit, you know?
Short answer: not aware of any grad transfers to UM. |
| 4 weeks 2 days ago | Repeat post. When a quality kid |
Represents your university with class, works hard, and plays an undebatable part in elevating the program such that we all got the privilege of enjoying a run to the Final Four, there is one acceptable response to his announcement that he's leaving:
Good luck.
Any other response indicates you're an asshole. Hard-hitting, in-you-face, years-of-experience-as-an-NBA-scout-I-Imagine, non-rainbow analysis or not. |

Northwestern IS Chicago's Big Ten School. Or so the billboard says.
Joking. But I was planning on walking up for the game (bringing my one year old; only plan to stay a few innings). Hope I can buy them day of (assumed I could). |
| 4 weeks 3 days ago | I was planning |
On just walking up and grabbing a ticket. Any idea what sort of crowd they expect? Obviously not enough to fill the stadium, but not sure if they plan to restrict certain seating areas. |
| 4 weeks 4 days ago | FYI - 4 B1G commits in top 47 |
Two each for Michigan and Indiana. I know MSU has few slots this year, but my 2008 mind is still blown |
| 4 weeks 6 days ago | Fair |
But is it really that incredible to think OSU could go undefeated... One year from going undefeated, returning most everyone of significance and facing a weak schedule? Sure, it's not a lock. But silly to have overly strong views on either side of this. |
| 4 weeks 6 days ago | No, it's not really different |
But perhaps a better example is an SEC atty going in house to work for a bank or broker dealer. Happens all the time. |
| 5 weeks 13 hours ago | Oddly enough |
I concur with the guy that said this video makes him want Burke to go pro. Kid worked his effing ass off at UM. Hope he goes top 3 overall. Best of luck in the NBA, Trey, you'll be great. |
| 5 weeks 1 day ago | Anyone got any more jokes about MSU? |
The time to flood the board with them is now, apparently. Our superiority complexes aren't secure enough, it seems. |
| 5 weeks 1 day ago | Dude |
That is pretty great. Both on your part for insisting on the Victors, and the station's agreement to do so. |
| 5 weeks 1 day ago | Moderated the original comment as |
"Unnecessarily dickheadish." "Trolling" didn't seem right. |
| 5 weeks 2 days ago | If there's a degree |
Worth guaranteed NBA lottery money, let me know |
| 5 weeks 2 days ago | Try it... |
I thought I'd be sad; but it was great seeing it |
| 5 weeks 2 days ago | I think some of you guys |
Should review the last 20 or so draft classes (Wikipedia, for example). Being a lottery pick is hardly a guarantee of getting a long term NBA starter, much less a star. |
| 5 weeks 3 days ago | Go to Wikipedia |
Check out the past 20 draft classes. |
