Go to CRISLER
I think it is important that we maintain this momentum into the Big Ten Season. If you can go, everyone should go to Crisler for the remaining cupcakes of the non-conference schedule to maintain the great basketball atmosphere at Crisler. It looked awesome on TV yesterday. The students will be home for a couple of the games so that hurts attendance some.
Next Sat. 12/13 Home vs. EMU
Sat. 12/20 the Palace vs. Oakland
Mon. 12/22 Home vs. Florida Gulf Coast
Mon. 12/29 Home vs. N. Carolina Central
Tickets should be cheap to scalp and cheap at the box office.
What does everyone think about Michigan playing at Ford Field in a high profile game in a few years? What would have to happen scheduling wise/logisticaly?
And what is Laval Lucas-Perry's 1st game?
Go Blue!

I'd hate to see Michigan play at Ford Field. They might catch the Lions disease (or jinx). But seriously I would much rather see them play in Crisler Arena.

LLP's first game is December 20th at Oakland.

Chrisler is about 1300 miles out of my range, but I just looked at the schedule online and there are only 2 games that wont be nationally televised! One is on FSN-Detroit (which I could technically get by buying a special sports pack, and I might do it since I think that package also would give me a channel with some hockey games) and the other will be streamed on bigtennetwork.com. So that is pretty cool, our entire schedule on TV whereas in past seasons there'd be about 5 games total.

Maracle makes a good point. For those of us that can't get to Crisler on a regular basis, the Big Ten network that we hated so much last year during football season is really going to be a godsend for following this basketball team.
I am a football diehard. Admittedly I am a bit fairweather when it comes to hoops (the Martin scandal ruined college hoops for me for a long time). I am however, really excited to be able to follow the Mens hoop team on a game-by-game basis this year.
I do however, plan to get up to Crisler a time or two this year for the first time in a loooong time. It has been 10 years since I saw a college basketball game live, and even longer since I have seen one at Crisler. This year's team has me excited again.

Even more important is that we have good crowds for our Big Ten games. It will be a major shock if we drop any of the next four, but after that it's going to be a battle. The Big Ten is pretty stout this year and we're going to have to hold serve at home.

Then my kid's team made the state championship, which is the same day, so....
We'll probably go to the Christmas break cupcakes, though. We went to Norfolk State and it was fun, if sparsely attended.

OK, I'm not familiar with the term 'cupcakes' in reference to games. Would someone please enlighten me? Geesh. It sucks to get old. :( Thanks guys. :)

No worries. The term Cupcake has not been applicable to Michigan Basketball for awhile. It means an easy win. I guess it doesnt' really apply to football as of late either.

I watched the Savanna game streamed on the big 10 network. The video was about 2 minutes behind the audio and the stream stopped about 30 seconds after Sims hit the winning basket. Not sure I am going to do that again.

"cupcake" meaning soft or easy opponents. Not sure UM after losing 22 games last year should be believing in cupcakes anyway. We are still only a serious injury to manny or deshawn from being a cupcake ourselves.

I just want to see Reed Baker play on the 22nd....
I miss the guy.

Please tell me that the crowd is going to cheer when he's introduced.
Well, at least, he's not going to be a target of scorn throughout the game.

Advanced education has been one of the most noteworthy elements in choosing every people accomplishment. I need to get term paper writing help to complete my research paper online. It grants people to investigate more options in calling and occupation.
