Rally Cry for MSG tomorrow
Just booked my seats at MSG in section Floor 1 literally 8 rows off the court.
Can’t wait to see X and Team ball in the Big Apple. I have a great feeling this team is going to bring it.
Call to fans at MSG ... let’s ride this officiating crew to a fair outcome. Rutgers likes to street brawl it so let’s go crazy on flagrant shit and bad calls. Let the crew know Michigan is in the house.
Go Blue !!!

"TOTAL EXONERATION"
January 31st, 2020 at 9:57 PM ^
its not 'X' any longer. it's 'Z', as in, rhymes with 'P'...
January 31st, 2020 at 10:06 PM ^
Let's hope he figuratively and not literally pees on Rutgers.
February 1st, 2020 at 10:13 AM ^
Coach Howard called him X. Wagner called him X. So X it is.
February 1st, 2020 at 1:58 PM ^
G, CRG, didn't U C about the P?
January 31st, 2020 at 10:04 PM ^
Give ‘em hell.
January 31st, 2020 at 10:25 PM ^
They’ll do better than the wings did tonight at the garden
February 1st, 2020 at 12:10 PM ^
I wonder if that was a coincidence that they both are playing there this weekend. Would be a cool sports weekend trip for a UM/Red Wing fan.
January 31st, 2020 at 11:05 PM ^
I'll be in the cheap seats, yelling at the refs nonetheless.
January 31st, 2020 at 11:08 PM ^
Is MSG on anyone's must see venue list?
That list is only really 2 long for me: Fenway & Comiskey.
January 31st, 2020 at 11:41 PM ^
Comiskey??? You mean us cellular? That place is not bucket list worthy. Save your money
January 31st, 2020 at 11:45 PM ^
you mean guaranteed rate...or the g spot?
January 31st, 2020 at 11:48 PM ^
I'm an idiot. Wrigley. And if it's dark & dingy like Tiger Stadium was in the concourses under the field, that's exactly what I'm looking for.
February 1st, 2020 at 7:59 AM ^
Haha. I read your first post and thought you were just trolling Cubs’ fans
February 1st, 2020 at 8:56 AM ^
You would have loved the old Boston Garden
February 1st, 2020 at 10:40 AM ^
What happens in dark, dingy recesses of old stadiums STAYS in dark, dingy recesses of old stadiums.
January 31st, 2020 at 11:45 PM ^
comiskey? why?
February 1st, 2020 at 8:55 AM ^
Did you mean Wrigley?
February 1st, 2020 at 9:55 AM ^
When I was I think 12 (~1983ish) we caught a game at Fenway while visiting relatives. The only thing I remember was at some point ump made a bad call and the fans were booing and giving it to him. We were lower level and I saw a shoe come flying down from the upper deck. As a 12 year old I had questions - like was this person going to walk around with only one shoe the rest of the night or try to get it back? Or did he plan ahead and bring extras shoes in case he was planning on throwing one? Anyways hope you make it there.
Also Fuck Rutgers and the Order of the Bull's Blood.

I won't be in NYC, but I will still probably be yelling at the refs - they won't want to ruin the Rutgers Magical Season.
February 1st, 2020 at 9:12 AM ^
Fuck Rutgers. I’ll be bringing in a Michigan flag!!!
February 1st, 2020 at 9:27 AM ^
NYC loves Michigan!!
What's our record there the past few years, aren't we undefeated? Clearly, the team gets a good vibe there, let's hope they feed off the crowd and defeat our rivals!
February 1st, 2020 at 10:25 AM ^
By my count Michigan has won 7 straight in NYC overall and 9 straight at MSG. Haven't lost in NYC since the 2014 Legends Classic final against Nova and haven't lost at MSG since the 2008 2K Classic final against Duke.
15-2 at MSG/Barclays since the start of the 2008-09 season.
February 1st, 2020 at 9:35 AM ^
It’s so weird they picked Rutgers for this... no one in NYC cares about Rutgers so why not just have two schools that can or will draw fans?
February 1st, 2020 at 10:03 AM ^
Actually, I think today will be different. Their basketball squad is doing well and they're probably licking their lips at the chance to beat Michigan in one of the top sports. Piscataway is just a stone's throw from NYC, too. Heck, there's probably a lot of Rutgers alums in NYC proper; I'd be surprised if there wasn't a sizeable Scarlet Knights contingent.
February 1st, 2020 at 10:10 AM ^
They may be a stones throw away but no one cares about Rutgers in NYC... if anything they are 4th, if that high, in interest and excitement in the City, well behind St Johns, Seton Hall and Syracuse.
February 1st, 2020 at 11:14 AM ^
Little secret - no one in NYC cares about college sports unless they went to do that school.
Seton Hall is a tiny school in North Jersey
Syracuse is in the middle of no where.
St.Johns is a catholic has been school.
If you really want to rank it, Rutgers would be no lower than the top 2 of that list. There are 18000 people gradujating from Rutgers each year and at least 15% end up in NYC.
Go back to school boomer.
February 1st, 2020 at 11:53 AM ^
I'm all for calling people and generations out for their bullshit...but don't be a punk behind a keyboard for no reason.
February 1st, 2020 at 11:54 AM ^
He’s entitled to his opinion just like you asshole. This was for amitrix
February 1st, 2020 at 1:28 PM ^
Guess at 38, I'm a boomer! Cool story!
Oh and for "St.Johns is a catholic has been school," they still averaged 16,500 (91.4% of capacity) for their 5 home games at MSG last year. Syracuse, despite being "in the middle of no where" reports to have about 52k alumni in the the NYC metro area and Seton Hall is closer than Rutgers to MSG (by about 16) while having one of the best and widely attended law schools in the NYC area by people who live in NYC.
Plus NYC loves college basketball, always has, always will, especially when it comes to former and current Big East schools, so yes, please keep talking about shit you don't know about.
February 1st, 2020 at 4:20 PM ^
I'd say your posts in this thread didn't age well, but they could not have been more wrong from the instant written.
Today's game will easily have the highest attendance of any big ten super Saturday game. Also it is 70/30 Rutgers fans.
Did you perhaps just wake up from 2015, do you not follow college basketball, or is this intentionally ignorant?
February 1st, 2020 at 8:36 PM ^
Other than the fact that the attendance today was just over 13,100, over 3k less than St Johns averaged attendance last year at MSG, totally.
February 1st, 2020 at 8:02 PM ^
Mission accomplished.
Go Blue !!!
