I think it was the…

I think it was the convention center.  I believe I was in that exact same Indy spot when I took my son to “fan fest” at the B10 championship game. 

Still is, I believe.

I'm sure he is a good human…

I'm sure he is a good human being, and he is getting a Michigan degree, which is more than I have.

But I watch tons of basketball and have for 40 years.   He just doesn't bring a lot to the table in the B10, and he is out there all...the...time.   The "vitriol" for me is probably related to the fact that M basketball absolutely sucks the entire ass, and he's reached his ceiling long ago. 

My least favorite Wolverines…

My least favorite Wolverines player of all time, Terrance Williams, leads the team in # of shot attempts.  He then converts 27%, leading the team to 31% overall on the road in the B10.  That’s a huge blowout every single time. 
 

Make it stop.  

Well, thank goodness T Will…

Well, thank goodness T Will is back to play the mediocre basketball he has provided his entire Michigan career.  After this season is done, nobody will ever remember his career.  

And their coach?...

And their coach?...

T Will out with an illness…

T Will out with an illness might be addition by subtraction.   I am befuddled all these years how this guy is a starter in the Big 10.  I'm not sure what he brings to the table.  Nice MAC player. 

Bye Juwan. 

Bye Juwan. 

In Indy, I stood up after…

In Indy, I stood up after that first field goal and proclaimed "well, that should do it!".   Even the fellow Michigan fans looked at me like I was nuts.   But I was right. 

"this is the same plan that…

"this is the same plan that TAMU has been using to win their recent National Championships."

This line was so good.

Unrelated, in about an hour I will be at the Big House for a real estate event.   Cocktails in the suites, locker room and tunnel visits, chance to go on the field.   Total boner.

I'm a West Michigan real…

I'm a West Michigan real estate broker.    Several have beaten me to the punch of talking up Holland to Grand Haven.   Grand Rapids is great as well (biased, this is where I live).  If you stick to this triangle of geography (MSA of a little over a million) you should be able to find a high quality of life for a reasonable cost of living.  We have some world class amenities here, largely because some local billionaires have opted to keep a lot of their money right in the community.  

Not here fishing for leads, but mike at grar dotcom if there's anything I can point you towards.

More like 40.   Wheatley was absolutely enormous.

He has won 37 games as a D1 coach.  Bama is going to give him 3 years to get that many.  
 

A Dutchman, no doubt, but he’s really going to have to fly at Bama.  If JMFH leaves, I hope its Sherrone.

This type of guy is…

This type of guy is incredibly competitive.   They all want to take a shot at a top job.  It works out, or it doesn't.   DeBoer only turns 50 this year.  If Alabama doesn't work out, he still lands a good job elsewhere. 

I'm making up the scenario…

I'm making up the scenario in my head that JJ says he comes back only if Harbaugh is extended.  Powers that be want to take a shot at a repeat.   Please make me right. 

It’s over, Juwan.

On the 25th I am involved in a real estate industry event at the Big House.  Access to the field, locker room tours, etc.  Hoping the trophy is there.

Watching all of this with my 12 year old son was absolutely amazing.

A great little recent PG…

A great little recent PG film called Boys In The Boat (book about 10 years old, all based on a true story) is enough recent glory for the Washington Huskies.  It's Michigan's time.

With all due respect to a fine opponent in UW, just go ahead get the fuck out of the way - this championship comes home to Ann Arbor.

Bang me.  Gently.   Not too gentle.  Like you mean it.  Give it to me.

X Golf at 2.   Thank goodness. 

I love being part of this…

I love being part of this weird little community.   No idea what got me started.

Grew up in a family with lots of Michigan degrees, but I'm not one of them.  M sweaters on in my baby pics.  Grew up loving the Big House.  Off to Chicago after WMU, which was a fun place to be a Michigan fan.   I've been back in the state of MI for about 15 years, and it takes a collection of nutjobs like all of you to match the fever pitch I have for Wolverines football and sometimes basketball when its not 2023-24.

My 10 year old special needs…

My 10 year old special needs son is in the MGoHospital (Helen DeVos in this case, not Mott).  Things don’t seem too bad at the moment.  
 

I’m a prayerful person despite my constant potty mouth on this blog.  If you can match my prayers for my little Evan, I would appreciate it. 

And bang the hell out of my MGoPoints please, just for good measure.

Im thinking about doing both ribs and scallops on the Weber on Christmas.  Stop judging me.

I am at MBA in Grand Rapids as I type this.  Sanderson is here w his Michigan gear on.  That’s a plus for those of us that want to see him on Michigan’s staff in perpetuity.

My admiration and respect…

My admiration and respect for Juwan has dropped steadily during his time at Michigan.  

If that story is real, I'd back Sanderson in that scenario.  Calling it like he sees it.  Clearly something wrong, because with all the talent that was hanging around last year, there should have been way better outcomes.   Michigan basketball just isn't fun right now.
