Oregon wants revenge
We have three guys who started in that game still on the team, Derrick, Zak and Mark Donnal. MAAR and DJ Wilson combined for four minutes
I found it:
the Wolverines won 70-63 in the Legends Classic at Barclays Center.
Yikes, that seems like a reach.
But who am I to argue with the searing pain and lifetime scar that a loss in the Legends Classic can do to a man?
I was at that game !!! hahahaha Maybe I should head to KC ???
Go Blue!
Be very careful. You are a marked man.
I can't wait until we can get our revenge on Villanova.
Bastards.
pretty sure they were the reason Walton's foot got hurt that season. (or at least it happened in that game vs. Nova)
Walton hurt his foot in the championship game against Villanova and the season went down the tubes shortly thereafter.
It could also be for the crushing 78-53 defeat at the hands of Michigan in the 2004 NIT semis.
I knew it!
That year of 2014/15 hoops was a nightmare. We did not even make the NIT that year. Injuries to Derrick and Caris as well as some inexcusable losses to Eastern and NJIT.
That was one of the 3 bad years Beilein has had while at UM. I totally have erased that season from my memory since it was such a disaster.
Oh, I thought you were talking about Brady Hoke.
Yeah, well, I want revenge for 2003.
2007 football. Now the only question is whose desire for revenge is greater.
I felt like I was watching that entire game with my pants around my ankles wearing Sponge Bob underpants in a room full of hot women.
in my list of most disheartening Michigan sporting events I have ever attended:
1) Michigan State basketball pantsing a clueless Brian Ellerbee team at Crisler in 2001. Wikipedia claims the final score was only 91-64, but it felt way worse. 3/4 of the arena was MSU fans, including pretty much the entire upper bowl. Wikipedia also reminded me that they beat us 114-63 at th Breslin that year. I did not attend that game.
2) Donovan McNabb unfortunately illustrating to us what the next 10 years of Michigan football would look like by running circles around us in 1998.
2-tie) Oregon humiliating us in much the same fashion a decade later, as the fans booed our senior quarterback and the rest of the team off the field at halftime.
I actually felt worse about the 2007 Oregon loss than the 2007 App State loss.
The App State game was the first game of the season on a beautiful day, Hart was gimpy, and our heads were up our ass. That kind of stuff can happen with college kids. Replay that game a thousand times and we never lose it again.
The Oregon loss was structural. There was something seriously wrong that was not going to be fixed overnight. Replay that game a thousand times and we lose it worse each time.
The future looked dark after that game. (And it was.)
That was one of the reasons that we were so excited about Rich Rod at the time.
We could not solve the Spread to save our lives, and now we were going to be coached by the man widely credited with inventing it.
There is a lot of revisionist history about Rich Rod after the fact, but when he came in here there was a lot of justifiable excitement.
We were going to be the Oregon east of the Mississippi.
I'll bet you do.
Don't think that we forgot.
I sure know that I have never seen a duck pull a truck. Not sure if appropriate, but I have just been dying to use that line.
Weird example. So you wanted to take revenge on your ex wife by providing less money for your kid(s), and lost in court because at the least she had compelling arguments as to why you should indeed continue to provide for your kids at least at the same level. Not only is this awkward, uncomfortable, and questionable, the connection with Oregon wanting revenge is about as clear as mud.

I wanted revenge on that guy who called the cops just because I beat him up kind of bad. So I sued that guy. And my suit was dismissed! Fuck the system--the courts are so unfair.
...i have no memory of that game. none.
For being born.
about losing? It's like being pissed over losing an AAU contest from the past. Wow, really. Yeah, so you want to win because the team in front of you is good and has beaten you before? Like losing in December two years ago is such a relevant cause for driving your team's push for glory two years ago? Whatever. I would love to have Michigan beat Carolina or South Carolina. But alas, that bracket can wait. Whatever motivates you.
I still have bad vibes from some high school football losses from 50 years ago and a ton of YMCA basketball league playoff losses from the past three decades. One trial learning under duress goes deep into the brain. I missed the second of a one and one at the end of a game that made it go into overtime 20 years ago and still practice free throws every time I shoot around in a gym with that pain in mind even though I will never shoot another meaningful free throw the rest of my life.
Did you win in OT?

Fuck a duck. He's outta luck.

...for sending them Brady Hoke.

you know you have issues when you are trying to pull motivation from a loss in a pre-season tourney from over 2 years ago...
