OK...I guess I'll do the POSBANG
So, our football team might be average at best (or complete garbage according to some folks here), but at least our basketball team is a bunch of bad asses. Dan Dakich said during the broadcast that Duke is the most talented team, but Michigan should be ranked 1. Of course, basketball rankings are entirely useless, but it's still nice to hear that. We're finally into conference play the rest of the way.

Suppose it depends on what you mean by "average", but the football team is clearly better than the average B1G team, the average P5 conference team, the average D1 team...
It is not better than the average fan's expectations and might be about average compared to historical Michigan team's performances.
January 4th, 2019 at 9:36 AM ^
As I have written before and I will write again Michigan is a basketball school, thank God! I think?..
January 4th, 2019 at 9:39 AM ^
They better bring their A game against Indiana..the last 4 games havent been very impressive while 14-0 is Awesome I hope they didnt peak to early..If they play the way they have the last 4 games they will get beat by Indiana..
January 4th, 2019 at 10:18 AM ^
I think an A- or B+ game should be enough at home but North Carolina type beating would be awesome

The long, dry desert of Michigan's FB offseason is upon us...God have mercy on our souls

*Simpson makes another hook-shot*
Dan Dakich: "Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the best hooker of all-time."
January 4th, 2019 at 9:46 AM ^
POSBANG 2019!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!
January 4th, 2019 at 10:58 AM ^
I can try and bang.
January 4th, 2019 at 9:54 AM ^
TGIF FUDDRUCKERS
Solid basketball win last night plus wrasslin'
Urban Meyer is still retired
Reinforcements for the football team arriving imminently (and later too)
Life is good (unless you're Maizen or Eeyore)
January 4th, 2019 at 10:00 AM ^
Awwwwwwww yeaaahhhh, let us bang! Go Blue, Beat IU!
January 4th, 2019 at 10:03 AM ^
Birthday weekend, bang me!! Hopefully my girlfriend, whom I tend to piss off more than I'd like to acknowledge publicly, will throw me a bone.
January 4th, 2019 at 10:06 AM ^
First bang of the new year! Go Blue!
January 4th, 2019 at 10:08 AM ^
10-3 is "average at best?" I get that the way the season ended blew, but you people are miserable.
January 4th, 2019 at 11:08 AM ^
Yeah... that stuck in my craw as well. I assumed that he meant "average at best among the top 25," which would be legit.
January 4th, 2019 at 10:10 AM ^
I dunno. According some here, the basketball team is hot trash too after last nights “close” win. BPONE is a very strong disease.
January 4th, 2019 at 10:11 AM ^
I need a good bang. We are going through what are always to me the two longest months of the year, crossing through the armpit of winter in Jan. May basketball keep the spirits warm as we journey to March Madness and the end of winter! Bang, bang and Go Blue!
January 4th, 2019 at 10:12 AM ^
Why do we have posbangs?
It just gives trolls points to make them look legit and not like trolls for other posts. It's especially true since we can't negbang OPs (unless they comment in the actual post).
January 4th, 2019 at 11:12 AM ^
I never thought about that but you're right. Posbangs undermine the points ecosystem... (not that the site makes optimum use of point thresholds or trending, but I'm sure that's in the mGoBacklog)
January 4th, 2019 at 10:18 AM ^
Get ready for a good game on Sunday and another win for JB and company. Happy Friday, MGoBloggers.
January 4th, 2019 at 10:22 AM ^
Scissor Me!
January 4th, 2019 at 10:25 AM ^
Michigan football is better than "average" regardless what anyone says. FACT. And yes, Michigan Basketball is playing elite.
January 4th, 2019 at 10:27 AM ^
Two questions:
1. I wonder if anyone is going to say something about an angry Pat Chambers pushing his player in the huddle.
2. Anyone else surprised by Eli Brooks’ dunk? Yeah, every D1 and pro over 6’ can dunk, but for him to throw it down like that was unexpected.
January 4th, 2019 at 10:45 AM ^
i may not remember this correctly, but wasn't it a two-handed flush?
EDIT: lo and behold, with the magic of the interweb, somebody posted a pic of it 7 hours ago. here it is
January 4th, 2019 at 11:15 AM ^
I was expecting a routine layup. Was very impressed with the dunk, although he game down a bit awkwardly. Don't hurt yourself, Eli!
January 4th, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
I thought the Pat Chambers push was disgusting-- he looked like a bully with anger management issues. Watching it in real time, I said "He deserves to lose.." And for once the universe listened to me.
January 4th, 2019 at 10:29 AM ^
Must be one of those days I guess...
January 4th, 2019 at 10:45 AM ^
Is there even a point in posbang any more?
- asking for a friend
January 4th, 2019 at 11:03 AM ^
I'm sure I'll be made fun of for asking this, but what the hell does POSBANG mean?
January 4th, 2019 at 12:22 PM ^
You can find most of the weird acronyms in the MgoBlog FAQs. (like BPONE, POSBANG etc)
January 4th, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
Bang for 2, is there a Bang for 2 in the house?
January 4th, 2019 at 12:20 PM ^
To think that this team lost its top two scorers, and Duncan Robinson, and could be improved is remarkable.
January 4th, 2019 at 2:35 PM ^
BASKETBALL BANGBANGBANG ME!
Go Blue.
January 4th, 2019 at 4:29 PM ^
Hate being so late to the first posbang of 2019, but better late than never. Go Blue, it's gonna be a good year !
January 4th, 2019 at 4:30 PM ^
I STILL love our FB team and always will. Such good news about Hudson staying another year. Bang for the Viper!
