Dickinson announced he was…

Dickinson announced he was transferring about a week before Love committed to Michigan. I don't think the two were related. I do think it was him no longer believing that Michigan could win and the lack of NIL that he got.

Dickinson leaves March 31:

Love commits April 7:

He wasn't going to resign…

He wasn't going to resign. The only way he wasn't going to be the coach was if they fired him.

Michigan should not be…

Michigan should not be giving more chances to guys without experience running a college program.

While it's true OSU played better under Diebler, they also experienced dramatic 3-point luck. Other than their loss to Minnesota, their opponents have been missing all their 3s.

In conclusion, Ross Bjork continues to be a dummy. Surprised he didn't give Diebler a 10-year, $95 million contract. That's his go-to.

I think there is a very,…

I think there is a very, very low chance of this happening. I can't see Howard walking away voluntarily nor can I see him leaving a bunch of money on the table. He's either getting fired or he's going to be retained as the ultimate lame duck.

If you're an Office fan it's worth it just for the Superfan episodes.

In what I am guessing is not…

In what I am guessing is not a coincidence, about two hours ago the Michigan Football Facebook page posted four photos of Q Johnson's hit on Egbuka, with no additional context.

It's true they're on a roll…

It's true they're on a roll with Diebler, but OSU might also have to hire him full time now, and unless he's a Brad Stevens type it's likely his ceiling will top out at what Holtmann was already doing. I guess we'll see, but it's a pretty big risk to be a program like OSU handing over the reigns to someone with zero high major HC experience.

And yes, I see the parallels with Michigan and Sherrone Moore, but at the time of Harbaugh's departure, there was really no other choice than to elevate Moore. OSU thought they would get a spot at the front of the coaching line, but it's looking like they may not even be a player.

Alabama is projected as a 4 seed...definitely not on the bubble. Their record may look a little wonky but that's because they played the second toughest schedule in the country (Michigan is #1).

The first NCAA ticket gets punched tonight when Morehead State and Little Rock battle for the Ohio Valley Conference title at 8 p.m.

Don't care.

Don't care.

I'm not surprised that idea came from Ant Wright considering it's absolutely terrible.

He wasn't commenting on…

He wasn't commenting on Michigan. He was playfully refusing to say something positive about Ohio State.

Bacon doesn't know anything…

Bacon doesn't know anything about the basketball program (or really the football program). Can we stop parroting everything he says as gospel?

Bench mobs only have…

Bench mobs only have something to do if your team consistently wins games.

But your larger point is quite valid. There is zero energy around the program. Everyone looks medicated. 

When said "kid" is a 22-year…

When said "kid" is a 22-year-old scholarship athlete (whether or not he deserved that schollie is another story...okay, he didn't).

If Juwan Howard can't handle someone rightfully calling out his son being a jerk, then he probably shouldn't be coaching said son (and we already have data that shows he basically let Jett do whatever he wanted with no repercussions)...or maybe not coaching at all at the college level.

I think you're kidding but I…

I think you're kidding, but I'll just say that Bacon doesn't know anything about the basketball program.

Yeah, Jackson was nearest the ball and just stood there before making a half-ass attempt to get it as the buzzer sounded. Oops!

Tray Jackson only cares when…

Tray Jackson only cares when it comes to whether or not he has the basketball in his hands.

Nah, screw Notre Dame.

Nah, screw Notre Dame.

Come to think of it, I saw…

Come to think of it, I saw no mention of groveling at the feet of UIUC for use of Memorial Stadium.

When they announced that the…

When they announced that the PSU game would be played at the Palestra, it seemed pretty apparent to me that regardless of who the head coach is, Martelli would be retiring after the season.

I am also of the opinion that I don't know what he even brings to the program these days. In the grim scenario where Juwan is retained, I think every assistant needs to be broomed. Eisley has good offense, but he literally does not recruit. Saddi seems like a great guy, but I don't think he is irreplaceable by any means. That many MMs (including his alma mater, WMU) have passed him over for head jobs seems a little telling. And then there is of course Phil, who is very likely to retire, but if for some reason he doesn't, you have got to send packing.

Gene Smith did the canning…

Gene Smith did the canning of Holtmann as Bjork doesn't become the official AD until July 1. Did Bjork maybe have a hand in the decision..? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't say he was going to…

I didn't say he was going to the NBA now or that it was a realistic thing, just that he was undoubtedly sold on Michigan being a means for him to get there.

I'm really sorry to see this…

I'm really sorry to see this happen to him. Nkamhoua is a good dude and it really sucks that he came here on the idea of being a #1 option and playing his way into the NBA, and instead he is the face (along with Dug) of the worst Michigan team in 20+ years.

Oh I agree, I just found it…

Oh I agree, I just found it funny that a primetime home game against our biggest rival has gotten zero mention.

Yeah, that made me laugh. No…

Yeah, that made me laugh. No preview, no postgame, no nothing. The mediocre hockey team is still getting lots of front page mention, though!

I signed up the afternoon of the Rose Bowl and got a 21-day(!) free trial.

I like the STEM focus of Blaze even if I giggle every time they say, "Let's blaze!"

I got Paramount+ as a who-cares throw-in with my Walmart+ subscription and now it's become essential because of Paw Patrol and Blaze. It's all my 2 year old wants to watch. 

ESPN+ and BTN+ don't get you…

ESPN+ and BTN+ don't get you access to the ESPN and BTN channels and there is no FOX network streaming service.

If you want access to all games via streaming, your best bet is either YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV (plus Peacock since at least one game will be on that platform), but don't expect it to be much, if any, cheaper than your cable subscription.

A $30 OTA antenna will get you all of the games on FOX, CBS, and NBC for free, and with Roku you can pause live TV for up to 2 hours with a USB drive (Roku uses the drive to cache the live TV until you unpause).

Maybe not "hot takes," but…

Maybe not "hot takes," but on 96.1 it felt like Costa was constantly saying dumb things that were immediately called out by his co-host(s).

I think he'll do alright,…

I think he'll do alright, but you have to wonder a little about someone who was broomed as OC at Indiana. I can definitely see Bama fans being underwhelmed with the hire, especially on the heels of Tommy Rees. My heart truly goes out to them.

Every time I hear the name…

Every time I hear the name Joe Cullen I think of Jim Bob Cooter.

I always get a craving for Wendy's myself.

Just like Kirk Ferentz…

Just like Kirk Ferentz retired.

He doesn't want to come to Michigan.

Supposedly, Dutcher still…

Supposedly, Dutcher still has bad feelings toward Michigan because of the Fisher firing and would not even entertain the idea of coming.

People keep saying this and…

People keep saying this and I don't understand why. John Beilein is done coaching. He's not coming back.

Yeah, Nate Oats is 100% a nonstarter at Michigan.

Is Patrick bringing the director of basketball operations from Niagara that he tried to bang?

Why exactly should I give this shitty article clicks (and money)?

Jerome Tang seems like an odd choice to be rattling the "Fair Play!" saber.

This "article" is pure garbage.

FanNation, ____ Wire, ____ Illustrated, etc. are not legitimate sources of information. The "people "writing for them (I'm sure most are just GenAI) are no more qualified to do so than a newborn.

Please stop giving these bozos clicks and enabling their bad behavior.

Mgoblue definitely goofed then as this was announced before the season as a Peacock game. 🤦‍♂️

This game is on Peacock, not…

This game is on Peacock, not CBS Sports. Also, the game at Crisler (which is what you've linked to in the Television section) is on regular CBS, but can also be seen on cbssports.com if you have a cable subscription that contains CBS. CBS Sports is a separate TV network that always exclusively broadcasts mid majors.

Not that any of this matters since it's going to be a slaughter.

What a storybook ending for him. Played on probably the worst FBS teams ever assembled at UMass only to cap his career with a prominent role on a national title winning team featuring one of the best defenses in modern history.
