Michigan Opens as 3.5-Point Favorite Against Texas A&M
Sounds about right:

And don't forget - we beat Texas A&M in 1982 for Bo, and we can beat 'em again now.
If you're talking football, we've only played TA&M in '70, '77, and '95.
We didn't play TA&M in basketball in '81-'82 or '82-'83.
A&M offered Bo a ton of money to come coach them in 1982.
Bo called a press conference and said this....
"I thought it over....longer than I thought I would. And I came to the conclusion that there are things that are more important to me. And one of them is Michigan. And with that in mind, I'm staying where I belong...right here."

I mistakenly thought he was referring to beating them on the field or court—my bad.
Being old enough to have been around then, I have very clear memories of the Aggie courting of Bo—locally, there was quite a bit of concern for a brief period of time until Bo announced his decision.
Thursday feels like it is so far away. Will be only our third game in 18 days. Hopefully that layoff doesn't continue to effect the offense.
hoping that TAMU's game against UNC was a fluke

Hopefully we can double the post with some impunity.
Steve Fisher's teams were always good at that. They would zip in there and immediately double the post as soon as the ball got there.
And they had good technique. There was always somebody fronting the ball and swatting at it so that it was very hard to dribble and turn. Any kind of hook shot was off the table.
They were also so athletic that they could pop in and out of the double quickly when the ball was passed back out.

We shoot the lights out we win vs
they pound the boards, block shots and run.
But we give up no fast break points. so should be interesting.
Go Blue.
