Basketball Update

-
My quick opinion on this Michigan Men's basketball team hasn't changed much. That loss at Northwestern is what it is: a talented home team with a fired up crowd going toe-to-toe with a hot but streaky Wolverine team in the middle of a tough stretch to wrap up the season. Good on the Wildcats for playing a tough game and making the play of the year at the end. Way to go! Now let's focus on Nebraska! We will know more about this team in the coming weeks. The Big Ten tournament will be very interesting. If Michigan gets hot they could make a couple runs like they did last year. No doubt. One player that I'd like to point out right away is freshman point guard Xavier Simpson. If he continues to rise the way that he has been over the last few weeks then this team could become a real threat to make a run for the Final Four. And yes, I do mean that. Why not? A team with great depth can stay more fresh during March Madness, and there are plenty of rising stars on this roste...

Mark My Words!: Annual Dose of Preseason Predictions from a Very Optimistic Michigan Fan

As the 2014 season gets set to unfold I've got a slew of bold statements, biased outlooks, and straight-up facts that should help in getting any Wolverine fan excited. Yes, I do believe it pays to be positive, even if I've been proven wrong more times than not as of late. This year will be different, mark my words! Anyway, here are some things to think about as the season approaches: Facts: 80% of the roster last season was made up of first and second year players who will now be true sophomores, true juniors, and redshirt freshmen. At least 18 freshmen got significant playing time in 2013, with several collecting a few starts and three making the conference's All-Freshman Team (Kalis, Butt, and Henry). There are more four and five-star former recruits on the roster now than there has been since 2007. Brady Hoke has graduated all 69 of the seniors he has coached since arriving at Michigan nearly four years ago. Attrition has gone down considerably und...

Getting Ready for Sparty

-
Quick Note: I've held radio silence on this blog for most of this season. Partly because I am too busy to share my thoughts in blog form. Also, partly because I like where things have been going and wanted to see it play out a bit more before offering anything. Let's face it, the opener against Notre Dame was meaningless, as were the two games that followed. They were all tuneup games. We always knew it would come down to the division record in the end. It always does. So here we are: Michigan is currently undefeated in the Big Ten Conference with a 4-0 record. The team currently ranks third in the B1G in scoring offense (38pts/gm) and number one in scoring defense (15.4pts/gm). As they prepare to take on the Spartans, the Wolverines rank #6 in the AP Poll and #7 in the Coaches Poll. Michigan State has two losses on it's record already, including one to Northwestern, earning them a 3-1 record in the B1G. They pulled off an upset over Penn State last week and possess the...
