The CJ Baird honorary Friday Posbang
of a truly great weekend!! Go Blue!! :)
I think that, for me, C.J. Baird's shot might have been the most exciting single moment in the game in a way, since he's someone you know of but never thought you would see, much less in this situation. On top of that, he makes an awesome shot and gets what is probably one of the loudest cheers of the game. Very cool.

if you really want to:
btw- after you have replayed CJ's shot several times, watch the bench as they encourage him to take the shot, then their reaction...!

Anything in the waning minutes would top the Austin Davis slam. Happy to be wrong though. Wow what a night!

For both of the players with points. You train your entire young lives and make a great team with a great coach. The other guys were heavily recruited but you are the one who has to work hard to just stay on the roster. The moment comes for you and you do not waste it. The bench erupts and a stadium filled with Mgofans explodes. That was the tears of happiness moment from this grizzled, old fan.
YAY MOAR POSBANGS! We'll lose all these points in OT season anyway.
Last night was the most animated and intensely, maniacally I have cheered in a long time. That was such a fun game.
Here is a fun clip of The Ringer's Mark Titus (former manager/walk-on at OSU) interviewing CJ after the game:

When was the last time, if ever, Michigan had 8 different players hit a three in a game?
What a fun game! Cackling with glee with the way the threes were raining down!
I regret that I have but one upvote to give this reference.
Take that, Johnny Football and your shit talking band of giants!
for outscoring MSU in the Sweet Sixteen over the last 3 years!
I changed the lyrics to the Weather Girls song. "It's Raining Men" to...."It's raining threes..Hallelujah!!.......It's raining threes!!!
Bang me sweet lil Wolverine, and come back for more!
Happy for CJ, and everyone associated with the program. Hope they feel even half as good as I do right now.

It's always awesome to see the love the end of the bench gets.

I scouted Baird last year at Catholic Central and recommended him to a few NAIA/D3 coaches as a bully ball SG with range (essentially a D3 version of Robby Carmody). CJ ended up with a few offers from those type of schools but turned it down to take the academic route at Michigan............I'd say its worked out pretty well for him.
Baird out scored both Bates-Diop and Bridges last night....
