Mens BBall Weakness No One is Talking About - Take II
Trying this again after a spectacular fail this morning.
Michigan's bball team is terrific. They have one glaring weakness though--a lack of a bench player to serve as an inspiration for gifs.
This team's starters are not the issue. Exhibit A, Jordan Poole does indeed drip of swag:
Similarly, Zavier's 'big mood' gif is a go-to for me:
But, the starters can't be expected to carry the load. They need help from little-known bench players to accurately depict the elation of the rest of the squad and the fanbase. I'm talking about luminaries like Andrew Dakich:
And Fred Wright-Jones:
Michigan's bench celebrations have me all like:
Is this a naked and cheap excuse to post gifs in honor of our badass bball team? YOU BETCHA! I will be forever grateful for their welcome distraction from immediate post-Peach Bowl football negativity. Please use this thread for gratuitous basketball gifs and posbanging. Special request for Dakich's golf swing celebration. N.B. I was not able to copy Fred Wright-Jones' spinning celebration, which is in a tie for personal favorite with 'Big Mood X'.
Go Blue and Happy Friday folks!

For me, only 1 of your gifs worked. Dakich. Could be my corporate firewall though.
January 11th, 2019 at 5:45 PM ^
Well, sucks for you...they're hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.
January 11th, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
I feel you on this! Last season the bench was insane.
January 11th, 2019 at 2:50 PM ^
Man when he went 'big mood x' I was dying laughing. I was so stoked when it got gif'd.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:04 PM ^
Considering the amount of embedding needed for this post I completely understand the gaffe on attempt #1. Take your upvote.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:25 PM ^
i'm not the op.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:50 PM ^
But you are funky! Have another undeserving up vote.
January 11th, 2019 at 2:57 PM ^
Check out gangly Teske in that the Fred Wright-Jones gif. Teske in that gif reminds me of:
reminds me of this:

Is that a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man!
January 11th, 2019 at 4:01 PM ^
from Al Harrington's Wacky Waving Infatable Arm Flailing tube man emporium and warehouse!!!
January 11th, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
This is, indeed, much better than the fail you posted earlier this morning!!
And yes, the bball team is in dire need of bench swagger. Maybe Poole could offer a Master Class in Bench Sass to players numbering 9-14 on the roster (or however many players there are)? Coach could bring the subs...
January 11th, 2019 at 3:00 PM ^
I knew it was bench mob related!
January 11th, 2019 at 3:02 PM ^
So this was the big takeaway from your epic fail? Nice
Edit:
I liked the epic fail post better because it was indeed so much more Fight Club-like
January 11th, 2019 at 3:05 PM ^
Now this is pod racing!
January 11th, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
Those were the days... Back when I could actually post a gif on this damned website.
January 11th, 2019 at 4:31 PM ^
Yeah, you have to find the budget version of the same old GIFs, or indeed different ones altogether. I know your pain.
January 11th, 2019 at 4:56 PM ^
The other day I hit my "upload limit" (who knew?) and trying to delete any of the ones in my folder from mobile made my browser crash. Cool beans, that.

html embedding has been working for months. just hit source and drop in the embedding code.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:53 PM ^
Can you post “how to” instructions?
January 11th, 2019 at 8:24 PM ^
this will be a quick version of the instructions:

Are you looking for a clown on the bench? Someone to amuse you? You seem to think winning basketball should be funny. How the fuck is that funny?!!!
January 11th, 2019 at 3:21 PM ^
This is very well done.
January 11th, 2019 at 3:06 PM ^
Eh, still a fail for the click bait title. Even if you were trying to make a joke.
January 11th, 2019 at 3:08 PM ^
Keep an eye on Adrian Nunez . . . he's got potential in this area.
January 11th, 2019 at 3:10 PM ^
No there was one from Nunez, maybe from the UNC game?
Whoever has it, drop it.
January 11th, 2019 at 3:16 PM ^
This mornings exploit should have found you unable to post for 24 hours.
January 11th, 2019 at 3:58 PM ^
I shared this with a co-worker who was an guest coach for a D1 Women's Team game this week. She loved it and made her own sign and used it to great effect.
I know, my cool story bro game is strong today.
January 11th, 2019 at 4:08 PM ^
Was gonna say that your cool story game was strong but then you said your cool story game was strong which undermined your whole thesis.
January 11th, 2019 at 5:46 PM ^
Guest coach? Did she win a radio contest?
January 12th, 2019 at 10:21 AM ^
he looks baked
January 11th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
i don't know what post people are referring to in the morning, but this is vitally important. sure, we may win a championship, but CJ baird et al have big shoes to fill.
January 11th, 2019 at 3:35 PM ^
There's a pretty amazing pic of Nunez giving crazy eyes from one game this season. Not sure where to find it tho
January 11th, 2019 at 3:48 PM ^
Ha ha! this was worth the wait. Nice work and go blue
January 11th, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
Damn, that is pretty from one end to another. One slick-azz Beilein mike drop right there. . .
January 11th, 2019 at 6:10 PM ^
All Mitch needed was his unicycle to make that complete.
January 11th, 2019 at 4:10 PM ^
I loved this post, but wish you didn’t apologize for or explain it at the end.
January 11th, 2019 at 4:11 PM ^
Now this is true analzying and is a verifiable weakness of our current team! Who is responsible?!
January 11th, 2019 at 9:30 PM ^
The biggest weakness of the Michigan basketball team is...women.
January 11th, 2019 at 5:02 PM ^
This one's my favorite. Clear dig on TV Teddy V. (That is tv Ted, no?)
