I'd rather have a root canal than watch that game.
February 7th, 2024 at 7:29 AM ^
This is really all you have to know about current MBB climate when fans turn down free tickets against top 10. Pathetic.
February 7th, 2024 at 7:10 AM ^
really need a run of Fire Warde shirts made up to wear to these games.
February 7th, 2024 at 2:04 PM ^
Need Portnoy and Barstool to make the Goddell/Clown version, but with Warde.
February 7th, 2024 at 7:24 AM ^
Sorry, but they're overpriced.
February 7th, 2024 at 7:30 AM ^
Can you throw in a 20 oz coke with it?
February 7th, 2024 at 7:52 AM ^
Wouldn't go if I were paid to take the tickets
February 7th, 2024 at 8:02 AM ^
not going, and i get that folks are having fun dunking on the hoops situation, but kudos to kok for the offer. good on you, kok, a very gracious post.

good on you, kok, a very gracious post.
This offer does not suck...kok.

First, this is a nice gesture. Secondly, this may be the first time in quite some time that a person has to pay someone to take their basketball tickets from them. Lastly, what went wrong (besides letting Beilein walk?)
February 7th, 2024 at 8:43 AM ^
The guy they hired to replace Beilein

Jesus Christ. How many times can this be beaten to death already. JB turned 71 on Monday. He was 67 when he left Michigan after coaching there for 12 years. He left in May after an NBA opportunity opened up. NBA jobs don't open up before then unless you're fired mid-season, which he was not going to leave Michigan mid-season. By all accounts, he seemed a little burnt out of college coaching and knew that his time at trying to coach at the highest level was dwindling. Not too many NBA teams are hiring first time NBA coaches damn near their 70s. He took a shot late at life at probably a dream and after he was a little discontent with the state of college basketball. People have free will and agency. Sometimes they do what they want and no one else can control it. Even if he had stayed, the likelihood of him continuing to coach at his age is not high. There's only 5 current NCAA coaches over 70. Coach K hung it up at 76.
February 7th, 2024 at 11:50 AM ^
Phil Martelli and Tom Izzo are both approaching 70.
Wonder if either of them will be around next year?
February 7th, 2024 at 12:38 PM ^
I guess. JB had been a lifelong college basketball coach who had just gone to the national championship game in 2018 and left in his 60s to take over a hapless NBA team with a bunch of egos and divas. I'd rather put up with college basketball recruiting than deal with that. If I were him, I would have either been at Michigan a few more years with Wagner, Livers etc. or retired right away. If he got the Celtics job or something it would be different. Coaching the Cavs post LeBron doesn't seem any more fun than being at Michigan. You have absolutely no shot at success in that organization.
February 7th, 2024 at 8:14 AM ^
Burn them. Nobody should go. I'm not usually one for silly walk outs but, if they're really bringing Howard back next year, don't even show up.
Howard and his walk ons can go it alone
February 7th, 2024 at 8:16 AM ^
leave the tickets in the bathroom at the fleetwood and let nature take its course.
February 7th, 2024 at 8:18 AM ^
agree this is a magnanimous gesture. this is like when managers stacked pistons tickets on the reception desk at work hoping they wd vanish. trying times.
February 7th, 2024 at 8:17 AM ^
Sounds like the basketball team is making kok feel kind of unexcited. Perhaps even flaccid in his fandom. The games are only entertaining about half as long as most of us would like. And they just leave us wanting more at the end.
February 7th, 2024 at 8:43 AM ^
Ha!
- Free tickets
- Leave early in the 2nd half while Michigan still has the lead
- Avoid checking for the final score
- Profit
February 7th, 2024 at 8:36 AM ^
If you pay me $100 bucks, I'll go.
February 7th, 2024 at 8:42 AM ^
Other free seats available
<serious>Kudos to the OP</serious>
February 7th, 2024 at 8:44 AM ^
Only if you add on two paper-bag masks.
February 7th, 2024 at 9:02 AM ^
Do any drink tickets come with it?
February 7th, 2024 at 9:05 AM ^
You know there is a problem when I am paying $5 to go watch my daughter's Freshman girls basketball game and Michigan basketball tickets are still cheaper.
February 7th, 2024 at 9:29 AM ^
The Badger 2nd half run will commence at 00:00 of the first half.
February 7th, 2024 at 9:38 AM ^
The Big Ten Network was playing the 2017 tournament final against Wisconsin this morning.
We were so gloriously spoiled.
February 7th, 2024 at 10:24 AM ^
I wish I lived closer my 8-year-old would love to go to a game at Crisler. The 7.5 drive from Southern Illinois would be a bit much. I was shocked to see the spread was -5.5 for Wisconsin.
February 7th, 2024 at 10:44 AM ^
Ill take em
February 7th, 2024 at 10:51 AM ^
TICKETS GONE NOW
February 7th, 2024 at 12:24 PM ^
Thank goodness for that!
February 7th, 2024 at 11:10 AM ^
I hope you gave them to the guy that asks for stubs in the concourse at the end of the games. The full tix will look nice in his binder.
February 7th, 2024 at 1:02 PM ^
February 7th, 2024 at 11:31 AM ^
Is it too late or did Harbugh already take them? Kidding....jk....kinda....
February 7th, 2024 at 12:25 PM ^
I also have 4 tickets if anyone wants them
February 7th, 2024 at 12:30 PM ^
We have a basketball team?
February 7th, 2024 at 1:07 PM ^
JHKMBB, allegedly....
February 8th, 2024 at 10:09 AM ^
Well done to the team to pull out a huge result. Hopefully whomever got the tickets had a fantastic time. OP, you are hereby obligated to give away the remainder of any tickets you might have.
