While Michigan does throw the ball, they spread the ball around. In 15 games, Michigan's leading wr had 48 receptions, 2nd had 47 and 3rd had 22. Loveland had 45 and Barnum had 22. Edwards had 30.
Friday is going to be a really long day for Tiger. Not sure how well his body will hold up. He's got a late start today so with the weather delay he probably won't finish his round. Friday will be getting up super early, finish the first round, have a short break while the first round finishes and then start the second round.
PSU has obviously never made the playoffs and only has the 1 big ten title, but they've won 10 or more games 5 of the last 7 years (with 4 of those seasons being 11 wins), played in 5 NY6 bowl games and at the beginning of the 2023 NFL season were 8th in schools with players on nfl rosters.
They've been a top 15 type program. They just haven't been able to beat OSU or UM.
The crazy thing is since MSU's last win the big ten has put a lot of teams in the final four. They've had 15 times in the final four with a number of them making it to the final - Wisconsin, OSU, Illinois, Michigan and Michigan St. and Purdue.
The NCAA tourney is a crapshoot. It wasn't like FAU went to the FF as a 1 or 2 seed. FAU was a 9 seed and beat the 8 seed, 16th seed, 4th seed and 3rd seed. The 4 seed was Tennessee whose coach, Rick Barnes, is almost the poster child for ncaa disappointments.
Having watched a decent amount of her games the last year+, her court vision is the most enjoyable part of her game imo. It's almost Magic/Bird like in how she sees the court and plays developing.
NIL doesn't come from the university it comes from donors - individuals and companies. Since you're complaining about the university being cheap, are you contributing to the NIL fund?
The kicker with say McDermott is he's still in the tourney and at best you're talking to his agent. Other than a 'Thanks but no thanks', you're probably getting a 'let's talk after the season'.
So do you roll the dice on a 'maybe' or go with May while knowing that if you don't grab May asap there's a good chance he's Louisville's coach.
If a Michigan basketball coach had Izzo's record, we'd be talking about how great he is but since Izzo is at MSU, people try to downplay his accomplishments.
Has Izzo seemed to slip in recent years, no doubt but acting like 8 Final Fours and 1 National Title is just due to longevity seems a bit like sour grapes.
0 ncaa championships is a bit of a surprise but to me only 2 Final Four appearances is the bigger shock, and none since 1980. Winning the tourney isn't easy, but Purdue doesn't even get to the FF.
The guy's shirt isn't wrong. The crazy thing is 42 points wasn't the fewest points they've scored in a game this year. They had a 5 game stretch late in the year where they scored under 50 points in 4 games. In one of those games they only scored 41 points.
Imagine if Juwan actual understood UM's transfer policy like Harbaugh did. Stewart, Wallace, Hausman, Nugent, Hinton, Henderson, Barner, Tuttle and Tucker were all transfers who contributed to the football team.
Harbaugh didn't seem to have many problems with the portal. Wallace, Stewart, Hausman, Hinton, Henderson, Nugent, Barner, Tuttle and Tucker were all contributors to varying degrees on the NC team.
One of the biggest battles for a NFL draft pick is getting picked by an organization that will utilize a players strengths and not try to fit a square peg in a round hole. Pacheco hit the lottery when he was drafted by the Chiefs and got Reid as his head coach.
Reading posts about Juwan being restricted by transfers in the portal is getting old. Yeah, getting transfers to UM isn't easy. You pretty much need to focus on grad transfers and players entering their sophomore and maybe junior years. Harbaugh didn't seem to have a lot of trouble with the portal though. There were a good amount of contributing players on the NC team that were acquired through the portal - Stewart, Wallace, Hausmann, Nugent, Hinton, Henderson, Barner, Turner (kicker). Juwan is in year 5 of working with UM on portal transfers. Considering the success Harbaugh had in the portal, at some point Juwan's lack of success in the portal is Juwan's fault.
5 stars probably expect a 'signing bonus'. While UM's NIL seems to be doing good, from what we tend to hear UM doesn't give a 'signing bonus' to a recruir.
Beilein's first year the team went 5-5 in their last 10 games.
This year, UM is just getting smoked in these games at the end of the regular season. It went from "they can't finish/how many close games can a team lose" to just getting blown out in the second halves.
Kansas has the 4th most players of any college on nba rosters. Only Kentucky, Duke and UCLA have more. Coach K retired and UCLA's list goes back before Cronin took over.
Rutgers had 9 guys get over 10 minutes of playing time. No Rutgers starter played 30 minutes. One of the guys who started for Rutgers played 20 minutes and another played 21 minutes.
It would hurt the SEC and Big Ten in other ways. For the SEC the big loss would be baseball. Baseball is a big sport in SEC country while the Big Ten is a mid-major in baseball.
For the Big Ten, wrestling would take a loss. The Big Ten is one of the premier wrestling conferences while most SEC schools don't have wrestling as a varsity sport.
It's like the Frank Layden (Utah Jazz coach) and Larry Bird question. Bird was tearing up the jazz and asked Layden if he had anyone who could guard him. Layden looked down his bench, looked at Bird and said, 'No'.
Oline: while the potential is there to be very good. It's pretty much all new starters at UM. I'm guessing there will be some growing pains early in the year with the oline.
Holtmann in 13 years as a head coach (3 different schools) has never won a conference title. That includes both conference tourneys and regular season titles. Is he really that good of a coach?
Kelvin Sampson is 68 years old. In the last 4 NCAA tourneys Houston has 4 sweet 16 appearances, 2 elite eights and a Final Four. They just joined the Big 12 so they're no longer in a mid major conference, and they're in first place in the Big 12. Why would he leave that for OSU?
Yeah. It was so frustrating seeing how much slow Morris was on the crossing route. If he had SEC speed, he might have been able to get the first down and had a slim chance to maybe score.
I wouldn't exactly say the '81 and '84 Super Bowl teams were stacked. Rice and Taylor weren't on either of those teams and Craig's big breakout year was '85.

Yeah, there's only 13 WNBA teams. If you aren't one of the truly elite players in college, the odds that you make the wnba are slim to none.

Isn't SMU going to the ACC?
Bennett's likeability takes a hit imo because of his team's style of play.
Sankey will squash this and make sure nothing happens to Bama.

Michigan played Colorado St in a bowl game in the mid 90s.

Not being snarky, honest question - the Big East is considered a power conference?
0 ncaa championships is a bit of a surprise but to me only 2 Final Four appearances is the bigger shock, and none since 1980. Winning the tourney isn't easy, but Purdue doesn't even get to the FF.
I'm guessing NIL for UNC's bball program is top notch. UNC bball is a religion down there.

Louisville recently?? but I think ncaa violations/sanctions had a big role in that.

Sampson is 68, will be 69 before next season. Why would he leave what he has going at Houston for a total rebuild at UM?

Most of these guys who are opting out of the combine will do private workouts for the nfl teams.
Beilein's first year the team went 5-5 in their last 10 games.
This year, UM is just getting smoked in these games at the end of the regular season. It went from "they can't finish/how many close games can a team lose" to just getting blown out in the second halves.
Yeah. I don't think anyone could make this team a final four contender but a good coach would probably have them on the bubble.
Their scrubs are probably better than our starters.

Yeah, the regular season wrestling matches get little tv time but the ncaa finals are on espn.

Didn't realize he was 76. Time flies.

Since Purdue is on the road, this would be a Quad 2 win for Purdue. If Michigan keeps losing, it could be a Quad 3 by selection sunday.
Heck, the Soviets were playing games against NHL all-star teams in the 70s and winning a decent chunk of those games.
Beano Cook?? He can do color alongside Keith Jackson doing the play by play.
If he's an employee, wouldn't he need to file an 'accident report' for the injury?
Oline: while the potential is there to be very good. It's pretty much all new starters at UM. I'm guessing there will be some growing pains early in the year with the oline.
Holtmann in 13 years as a head coach (3 different schools) has never won a conference title. That includes both conference tourneys and regular season titles. Is he really that good of a coach?
Besides State Farm she has deals with Nike, Gatorade, Goldman Sachs, Buick, Hy-vee, Topps, Bose.
They can be talking to agents and gauge interest through other means then directly reaching out to a coach.
Kelvin Sampson is 68 years old. In the last 4 NCAA tourneys Houston has 4 sweet 16 appearances, 2 elite eights and a Final Four. They just joined the Big 12 so they're no longer in a mid major conference, and they're in first place in the Big 12. Why would he leave that for OSU?
Holtmann has been the OSU coach for a while. If OSU has been having medicore rosters, that's on Holtmann.
Yeah. It was so frustrating seeing how much slow Morris was on the crossing route. If he had SEC speed, he might have been able to get the first down and had a slim chance to maybe score.
I wouldn't exactly say the '81 and '84 Super Bowl teams were stacked. Rice and Taylor weren't on either of those teams and Craig's big breakout year was '85.
Interesting. Never been a coordinator. Always been a running backs coach with last year being Associate Head Coach and Running Backs coach.
