| 1 day 1 hour ago | The Lions Bowl will be played |
The Lions Bowl will be played with nothing but receivers and defensive linemen, the team with the most stupid penalties gets bonus points, and the coaches are each given one free challenge on an unchallengeable play. Oh, and whichever team has the most arrests on the season gets the ball to start both halves, while the other team gets the Marty Mornhinweg Memorial Wind Advantage in the dome. |
| 1 week 3 days ago | Smart? |
What exactly is a defensive minded team down their best player and former MVP of the league, their 3rd best guy who was an allstar this year, and a third starter supposed to do (not to mention their second best guy playing on a gimpy foot)? They have to play physical and try to take Miami off their game because on talent this series should be a joke. On talent this should have been an easy sweep. Hell, on talent the Bulls should have probably been gone in 5 or 6 in the first round given their injuries. Comparing them to the Bad Boys is even more ridiculous. Isiah is a HOFer and they weren't decimated with injury. Bad Boys won titles. |

We also have a Director of Player Personnel, Chris Singletary, which is probably what Hondo is talking about MSU not having. Singletary's bio starts "Former Wolverine linebacker Chris Singletary is in his sixth season as the recruiting coordinator with the Michigan football program. He handles all of the team's recruiting efforts, both on-campus and out in the community." |
| 2 weeks 1 day ago | CFL names |
There is the Chicago Rush in the arena league. But clearly this team should be the Roughriders or Rough Riders. |
| 2 weeks 6 days ago | SI/Lewan |
Even goofier, they said Lewan could have potentially gone number 1, and then rank him behind the guy who was aTm's right tackle last year because Joeckel was apparently better. |
| 3 weeks 3 days ago | Good |
Only following online and wondered with them taking Ace Sanders already if they might be thinking of Denard as a running back. I honestly think it's a better fit for him than WR and a spot where he should be able to do some things quickly. Easier to teach him blocking than all the nuances of route running, and lord knows he can explode through the hole. |
| 4 weeks 1 day ago | Basketball schedule |
Regardless of what you want, it's either going to be a weird divisionless schedule where the schedules are totally random as to your one-plays (i.e., just like now except there will be more teams you only play once), or it will be divisions where you play all your division teams twice and everyone in the other division once. An upside of the latter: two games every year with Indiana, Ohio State and MSU, and only once a year are we subjected to the soulcrushing Wisconsin basketball experience. |
| 4 weeks 4 days ago | We might still be behind VT |
We might still be behind VT for Hand at the moment but that gap seemed to be wider a few months ago, and there's a lot of time left for Michigan to convince him. Of course, that also means there's time for others to convince him, but he's been a sought-after guy for a good while and seems like he's already done a lot of the winnowing. |
| 5 weeks 18 hours ago | Just in case anyone was |
Just in case anyone was wondering why people rip on ESPN's football recruiting rankings, Luginbill posted their top 10 WRs today (paywalled) and there isn't a single guy from outside the SEC footprint. 5 from FL, 3 from LA, 1 from MS and 1 from TX. |

Another 6'5" lefthander named Hill? I'm assuming no relation to Rich given the spread in time, but a weird coincidence if he's not related. |
| 6 weeks 3 days ago | Woo |
Trey's shooting was for shit but he was great at everything else. He was the primary guy on MCW in causing his awful night, he dished fine and also hit the boards. That's what a great player does. And yeah, McGary was awesome again and I really hope he stays even if we win Monday. |
| 6 weeks 3 days ago | This |
The entry pass into the high post isn't trivial. IU had a bunch of turnovers against Syracuse on that kind of pass. |
| 6 weeks 3 days ago | Better matchup |
Burke should be a lot better with guys his height in the backcourt instead of the huge Syracuse guards. Although Burke's D on MCW was some of his best all year. Oddly although Louisville is clearly more talented than Wichita, WSU might have been a worse matchup. They're the monster rebounding tough D with shooters type we struggled with and we really didn't have any way to match up with Early, who was a beast. |

| 6 weeks 3 days ago | Tight officiating so far |
If they called Michigan games this tight Trey would shoot 20 free throws. |
| 7 weeks 3 days ago | Yeah, it's got to be GR3 on |
Yeah, it's got to be GR3 on Murphy. We don't want McGary pulled from the middle when shots are going up, he needs to be on Young so he's in there for the boards. |
| 7 weeks 4 days ago | Seth Davis retweeted a guy |
Seth Davis retweeted a guy who suggested that during those video reviews the players have to stand in the middle of the court so it isn't a free timeout. They really do need to do something about this, because this is two nights in a row where a team without a timeout got a free one to plan their last play. Of course, neither Arizona nor Kansas converted, but still, it should be easy to fix for next year. |

Costa Rica actually has a brand-spanking-new national stadium, but I suspect that they will now plan our match for Saprissa, which is much more intimidating (the fans are right on top of you, while the new national stadium has a running track so the fans aren't close) and has, as you note, the horrid artificial turf. |

Maybe a concussion/concussion-like symptoms, but also possible that given the location of the cut, the swelling was causing his eye to close up some and affecting his vision. |

| 13 weeks 6 days ago | He's a work in progress, but |
He's a work in progress, but he isn't a lost cause. I think he's already better than the guy ESPN had doing the 2006 World Cup (O'Brien). |
| 14 weeks 6 days ago | Well, the Reggae Boyz did |
Well, the Reggae Boyz did everyone a big favor by drawing with Mexico in Mexico City. Costa Rica got a nice point @Panama. We're in dead last for the moment, but the other two games ending in draws is not a bad thing for us. Also an indicator that the entire group is better than it usually is, which I think we already knew, but still. In the past you would never see one of the teams figured most likely to miss the World Cup take a point off Mexico in Mexico. |
| 14 weeks 6 days ago | Considering the run of play |
Considering the run of play so far, that would be a glorious result for the US. We look terrible. |
| 15 weeks 1 day ago | Here's a better angle, which |
Here's a better angle, which pretty clearly shows Watford pushing the arm and that there's almost no way Robinson would have known that Hulls was there given where Hulls had just run from. |
| 15 weeks 1 day ago | Hell, some posters on that IU |
Hell, some posters on that IU site are saying it's not intentional and that Christian Watford pushed GR3's arm. If IU fans are willing to agree it's not a big deal, then it probably shouldn't be a big deal. |

I don't know if others just haven't updated, but Chad Ford has Oladipo at #15 on his top 100 list and Hardaway at 72, and I think the general consensus is that Oladipo would go first round (and possibly even lottery) and Hardaway wouldn't go until round 2. |

In the Bayless family, there had to be some true awfulness to counterbalance Rick. Unfortunately, somehow that pile of suck managed to get himself on ESPN and inflict himself on the rest of us. |
