Way too much positivity
If I get banned, I get banned; am I the only realist when it comes to basketball? It’s all sunshine and rainbows — we sucked against a terrible team. A win is NOT simply a win in this sport. Please don’t let me be alone in this sentiment. Carry on and Go Blue.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
Haha!
December 15th, 2018 at 9:37 PM ^
And to add to the positivity our man J Peppers just got an interception against the Broncos. If it's thread worthy then go ahead and steal it, haha.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
LOL! That's a good one!
December 16th, 2018 at 1:10 AM ^
the first good one in a whiiile ?
December 15th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
It was an unimpressive win against a bad opponent. No one is arguing otherwise. That said, it was still a comfortable win in the end and this team has absolutely beat up some very good competition. Did you see Nova almost take out Kansas today?
December 15th, 2018 at 9:29 PM ^
UNC just hung 100 on Gonzaga, if that means anything.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:32 PM ^
Flowers was good and M got off to a slow start. The rest was fine.
December 16th, 2018 at 8:17 AM ^
Meanwhile, the person holding the "please don't call another foul, I just want to go home and study for finals" sign wasn't the only one. The players just finished the last week of classes and have finals this coming week.
Give them a break. They won a game they were supposed to
December 15th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
OP is just setting up his “ive been saying it all along” post for whenever the inevitable loss comes.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:51 PM ^
OP, I know you are obsessed with Michigan, but you should try cheering for them instead of devoting so much time and energy taking passive-aggressive shots at them on a Michigan message board. Trust me, cheering for Michigan is a lot of fun. I know it is a hard school to get into and all, but try not to be so bitter.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:25 PM ^
Quit acting like a bitch.
December 15th, 2018 at 10:18 PM ^
I don't think it's acting.
December 15th, 2018 at 11:29 PM ^
Does the OP look like Marcellus Wallace? Does Marcellus Wallace look like a bitch?
December 15th, 2018 at 9:26 PM ^
play like crap and still win - tough to get emotionally up for every game
December 16th, 2018 at 11:12 AM ^
It's easy to feel like you're the smartest person in the room. I've done it. Everyone knows this team will lose games. Villanova skullfucked the entire tournament last year after losing to Butler, Providence, St John and Cewighton.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:26 PM ^
I never thought I would ever in my life be one to say this but...
Our fans really suck ass sometimes.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:35 PM ^
One fan. The rest of us are really enjoying being 11-0 and ranked top 5.
Go blue.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
What!?! They have to win every basketball game by at least 25 points and go undefeated in football and only recruit Five star kids in both sports. If they’d just do that then we wouldn’t have to complain and could relax. Wait no we would have to do it for at least five years in a row. THEN it would be fun to be a Michigan fan. Is that too much to ask?!?! And you call yourself a fan Brutus
December 15th, 2018 at 10:28 PM ^
Some "fans" suck all the time.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:28 PM ^
Second deck!

What response would placate you? I'm here to help. WE [gestures around the board] are here to help.

It would be concerning if it became a trend. But, it is nowhere near a trend. Holidays are always a weird part of the season for hoops, regardless.
December 15th, 2018 at 11:06 PM ^
Check out the rest of the top 25 scores from today. Lots of games were closer than you might expect. It’s holiday tomato can time and weird things happen.
December 16th, 2018 at 9:56 AM ^
Yep.
#3 Tennessee beat Memphis 102-92
#7 Nevada beat South Dakota State 72-68
#8 Auburn beat UAB 75-71
December 15th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
We’ve played mediocre against most of the inferior opponents. Against the quality ones, we’ve played good to great. It’s been like this all season.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
It's nice to know that when our offense is absolutely putrid, our defense can keep us in it. The defense is still good. The offense will come. This is the sport where we have the schematic advantage on offense, to complement a battle-tested defense.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:31 PM ^
Oh, I don't think banning is appropriate.
Shunning, depantsing....those might be what will happen here, and rightly so. I mean, a lackluster win against a bad team - "PANIC! WE'RE DOOMED! WE'LL BE LUCKY TO BE A BUBBLE TEAM!". I hate people some days. No, most days.
I can't wait for your thread after our first hoops loss, which will be the predictable "SEE, I TOLD YOU GUYS AND YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN" thread.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:33 PM ^
It's gonna come right after Michigan's first loss of the season. No matter who it's to.
December 15th, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
Ha! You think we're going to lose.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:38 PM ^
I would remain silent in that case. I’m not expecting any loss at all. Just stating that our standard of excellence rises above what has been seen lately.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:42 PM ^
This is such a Michael Scott comment. "#1 was good enough until I found out there was a #1++" - Michael Scott - The Granddaddy
December 15th, 2018 at 9:52 PM ^
Get that "our" shit out of here. That's all you.
December 15th, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
Standard of excellence?
You’re a clambake boner
December 15th, 2018 at 10:57 PM ^
I don't know what this means, but I find it inexplicable hilarious.
December 15th, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
Props to you for commenting in the thread so people can properly neg you.

...-1

He should keep drinking and go play in traffic.

Looks like the username checks out, should we get off your lawn now?
December 15th, 2018 at 9:31 PM ^
You mean, the team had a lackluster game against a poor opponent?
That NEVER happens. Abandon the bandwagon.
December 15th, 2018 at 9:31 PM ^
We beat UNC and Nova, also Purdue. This team is good. Teske and Iggy had bad nights, it happens, the amazing thing is that we still have three other players get over double digits and a bench guy get 8, I believe, this wasn't the norm the past few years and is awesome to watch. You can either look at things with positivity and find good the bad, or look at things in negativity and find bad in the good. You can make that choice.
