Beat the Buckeyes: Hype Thread

Submitted by MGoBender on

Enough of this Duke talk. Enough of this talk about #1.  None of it matters.

In two and a half hours we go into the pit of sin, debauchery, and cooler poopers. In two and a half hours we play Ohio State. We have the chance to make a statement on the road in Big Ten play.  We have a national spotlight. 

The time is now.  Go Blue.

I've said for a while, that first hype video is possibly the best one I've ever seen for any team in any sport. I wish Thefauxcreative would make another.

The second one I hate. Basically stole all the clips from the first video with a track that's much too overused.

Regardless, I am hyped, Go Blue, Beat Ohio.

That said. This is going to be a tough game. They match up fairly well w/ us given their length and athleticism. 1. Gotta find a way to force Thomas to shoot contested jumpers. GR III will prob match up w/ him. 2. Burke has to let the game come to him as oppossed to last yr when he seemed to force plays that weren't there 3. THJ will prob match up w/ Lenzell smith. Have to win that one. #3 could be the difference

to contribute some points as well as rebounds, for Morgan to have another of his big games against the Buckeyes. And I'm also curious how Stauskas responds to the hostile, big-game environment. We're still the youngest team in the B1G, so how much poise do we possess when the chips get down? Something of a cakewalk to this point. . . 

 

EDIT: Obviously, the stress here is on the bigness. . . . :)

I Dont think ohio thrives in a half court game and dont have the firepower in a high tempo game to hang with Michigan. MSU can win a slugfest even though i dont think they are overall better than Ohio. Regardless it's a college game and we're on the road

That's the first thing I thought about when looking at the schedule and trying to decide when the first potential loss would be.

I just hope they can keep their heads because they are going to be getting tackled out there today. Especially Burke.

It'll be interesting to see if Burke can draw a few fouls on Craft. Lucky for Michigan I think Spike can do a fine job running the offense, they may need him a little more today.

I hope we lay the friggin' hammer today. Don't get me wrong -- a win's a win -- but it sure would be nice for Michigan to just come out today and set the tone from the beginning. Send a message that hey...you just ain't beating us today, Ohio.

GO BLUE!

The "Worst State Ever" shirt is on and I am getting ready for this game. GO BLUE! BEAT OHIO!

Loved Bacari Alexander's statement, "Actually, what my tickets say is that this is 'The Nutcracker'" Awesome.
