sat next to a guy while I was wearing a block M pullover at a restaurant bar in SLC last week. He said, "don't hate me if I tell you I went to Alabama". I said, "why would I? We won".
Brian made a good point that even shitty NHL teams want to get their potential stars to sign earlier so that they can get them on the 2nd contract before they elevate to the next level of performance. That way they can hopefully sign them for less than what they would with one more year or seasoning/development.
ha, that's awesome. I really don't remember much about Jason. I looked it up and he was a career 82.6% FT shooter at WMU. Looks like he only played there 3 years, 1994/5/6. I don't recall if he got injured.
John Garavaglia (MSU) won Mr. Basketball in 1993. I have been trying to find the voting list from that year but cannot. Chris Crawford (Comstock) came in top 5. I believe St. Clair Shores Lakeshore had a big guy that finished near the top. Don't know where Saddi/Black finished
I am his age. We played against him in summer ball before our senior year in 1993. Also played against Jason Black (Holt?) and they played together at WMU.
Didn't really know Saddi, we spoke a bit between games that day. Seems like a good guy. Wish him the best.
Jimmy picked him up by his underwear in front of the largest college football viewing audience 3 years in a row. Probably best to just shut up. Really fucking tough of him to talk shit when he knows Jim can’t kick his ass for a 4th consecutive year.
seriously, if I were on his roster these comments would make me rethink my opinion of him.
"Georgia holds the record for most NFL draft selections by a college in a single year since the NFL draft became seven rounds in 1994, setting the mark at 15 players in 2022."
You just know that if Michigan is sitting at 15 players when the Chargers on on the clock at pick #253, Jimmy is going to break that tie with a Michigan player.
I just don't believe that he'll be there at 11. Feels like the Vikings acquired the #23 pick solely to package with #11 to trade up to 5ish to take JJ before the Giants. It would be quite a coup for them to get him at #11 and hold onto pick #23.
This is exactly the point Joel Klatt was making recently. Harbaugh and his staff were expert at several things: recruit scouting, player development, locker room culture, and Xs & Os.
Conversely coach 3rd base seems to only be good at begging his AD/donor base to cut checks for hired help.
There aren't a lot of coaches that can take the preseason #4 ranked team all the way to the 2nd round then get their asses kicked by the preseason #19 ranked team (UNC) with such grace.
I hope May shoves his ass out to pasture in the slowest, most painful was as possible.
I've been to Michigan sweet 16 games in LA and Anaheim, an elite 8 game at Staples, and some final 4s in San Antonio and Atlanta. But these will be only my second 1st rounders since going to some of them in Indy in 2021.
Haven't done my brackets yet. But I have placed small money line bets on every first round underdog, except the #15s & #16s.
I assume MSU fans/"journalists" are taking a victory lap about all of this. Hopefully Izzo doesn't reach the 2nd weekend, which I will enjoy immensely.

He kinda stepped into that one.
sounds like he didn't graduate yet even though he's in year 5. that seems difficult to do.
I predict something will happen soon as a result of this post.
WTF?
Has any college football team panicked harder than OSU this off-season?

We went to Surly after the Michigan/Minnesota football game last fall, great spot.
great rec, thank you. might have to belly up to the bar for a chicken parmesan before the game.
go blue.
edited: here now for lunch and beers. got the bartender to put on the master's with sound. Think I'll stay here until game time.
Wondered where he was. Thought it might be Dockweiler.
not seeing any yelling anywhere

Great article. Just the right amount of analysis coupled with relevant stats and the 2 videos. Well done.
Flying into Minneapolis for about 20 hours Thursday to catch the games, first Frozen Four.

Please add that it's women's basketball next time. I understand that the sport is gaining steam, but it still felt very ESPN bait-and-switchy.

1998 was my (5th year) senior year. I hope the 2024 class gets the same experience.
Yeah, agree. But with my username I didn't want to go there.
Mulkey is certainly taking some incoming lately, oof.

Good stuff.
I have done a 1st round draft pool for about 10 years now, so I've studied mocks every year and have watched the drafts very intently.
One thing that seems to be fairly consistent is a QB going higher than expected. Of course there are outliers to this like Manziel, Rodgers, etc.
I think you meant #11 to the Vikings.
I just don't believe that he'll be there at 11. Feels like the Vikings acquired the #23 pick solely to package with #11 to trade up to 5ish to take JJ before the Giants. It would be quite a coup for them to get him at #11 and hold onto pick #23.

Anyone remember what happened a few months after we won our last football national championship in 1998?
Just sayin'

Did you really just wish that the refs burn after the game?

The Izzo/MSU insta-bid needs to stop. He's a fucking tone deaf clown that doesn't deserve the respect he seems to get every March.
And of course he doesn't want smaller schools to get in so that can't keep embarrassing him all the time.
I'll be at the 4 games in SLC on Thursday.
I've been to Michigan sweet 16 games in LA and Anaheim, an elite 8 game at Staples, and some final 4s in San Antonio and Atlanta. But these will be only my second 1st rounders since going to some of them in Indy in 2021.

First game I've watched all season, I'll take the credit.
Great minds...

I sincerely hope MSU/OSU fans honestly believe that Michigan will get the death penalty over signgate, all the way to their graves.
That's offensive to tools everywhere.
sure they are, you're just not digging deep enough.

Oh, please entertain me on what you think could happen then. Falcons check could bounce, cousins won't pass the physical, false reporting?
yeah, unfortunately that was a great landing spot that I didn't want to mention.
