Yea the refs sucked, yea too many turnovers...but we just beat the #9 team in the country and we're 17-1! Our guys had a stretch where they played out of their minds too...that's huge on the road.

I'm not sure you're even at the punch and pie level.

And there are levels. Once you get enough points you get invited to the secret meetings with the hookers and blow, where we spend the whole day clubbing hobos to death. Though if you're on the lower end of the point scale you have to dispose of the bodies.

30,000 points was supposed to get you a night with Jessica Alba, but Magnus got there first and ruined her for the rest of us.

Sorry, maizeonblueaction and MaizeMN, I forgot about these meetings. I don't have enough points to be invited and the jealously just seeps through in my posts.

And did Magnus really trade his points in for Jessica Alba? I always thought he cashed in for Scarlett Johansson.

I have thought all along that this would be one of the hardest games on the schedule. I think if Minnesota would have won tonight, we would have had a hard time overtaking them for the championship. Our team continues to impress nightly.

It's almost halftime in the Duke/GT game, and I can watch and they're going to show highlights and say glowing things about Michigan. This is what I do all day after a football win. I am quite happy.

The refs called way too much and slowed the second half down. But its great to see that this team doesn't have to fire on all cylinders to get a good win. As long as a couple of people step up each night this team is going to dominate offensively. 

McGary  continues to impress. I can't wait to see him continue to develop over the next few years.

Finally, the barn is awesome. It's a little cramped, and incredibly loud. The fact that we keep winning there is amazing because it is a really tough place to play.

Yeah that was Adidas fault. It's adidas fault hardaway's eye is swollen shut too. That game was pretty physical. I'm sure pro combat cheese ball crap wouldn't have done much better. And I can assure you it would have looked worse.

Maybe that wasn't clear in my previous comment despite the "I'm kidding." I don't actually have a preference in the Nike vs. Adidas debates. And I really like some of the Adidas uniforms, warmups, jackets, and shirts that Michigan players wear. It was a very physical game, but the Gophers' Nike jerseys seemed to hold up well. Again, I don't seriously want Adidas fired, but it appears that some improvements are definitely needed. Being able to see the jersey numbers on TV during the next bowl game would be nice, too.

I would just like to complain for a minute. How do you travel without an extra shirt??? Come on! Who packed for them? Clearly not the Mom.... Great game! Had everything. Bad refs, awesome dunks, real Trey, fake Trey, real Morgan, fake Morgan. Good stuff.

Loved Dicky V's excitement to see the new Crisler and the comments about the benefits to recruiting. Credit to Beilein and our entire athletic program's commitment to revitalizing the program.

For everyone in the last game snowflake thread who were asking "when was Michigan's last big road win?". "They can't win big games on the road".

They just did. For the first time since the win over duke in 96.

Would like to have controlled tempo ore at the end, but that will get better. Remember that for four guys who played big minutes tonight, this was their fifth B10 game. They will be much better after 10, and should be a real force come tourney time.

Huge road win by UM in the barn. Switched over to Sundance to see Hickory win in the finals of "Hoosiers" in a barn that looked like Williams arena. Good guys won both games.

This was a HUGE win for out boys, but I would rather beat Ohio one with a buzzer beater if that meant losing to Minnesota by 50 and hearing "overrated" from their fans.

OK, I'm over that shitty Ohio game now. We'll just have to kick their asses in a few weeks.

That's it. I just like saying the name.

Great win. Our freshman were all impressive tonight. We beat a very athletic team in a tough venue. Go Blue!

Is really good though. I enjoy watching him play and have absolutely zero ties or fandom to IU or UI (however you southerners do it). As somebody posted above, they can come out and beat us if they play a great game (mr. Obvious is obvious BUT) odds are they in favor of doing the opposite and underperforming
