If that is the real Z going forward, I’d be OK with that.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:31 PM ^
Here's 1987's Muppet Family Christmas, which, low-key, is one of the best Christmas specials ever.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:32 PM ^
Well that was unexpected, well done lads.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:08 PM ^
dilly dilly, I do say.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:32 PM ^
Muppets!!!
December 9th, 2017 at 2:33 PM ^
WHAT A GAME!
Didn't think anything could top my bagels, lox, cream cheese, onion, caper things. I was wrong!
December 9th, 2017 at 5:49 PM ^
But also added chopped scallions... tasty
December 9th, 2017 at 6:27 PM ^
I had red onion so I used that. Endless options as long as you have the bagel, cream cheese and lox, imo. So good. Scallions on the grocery list.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:35 PM ^
Oh, how i've missed you!!
December 9th, 2017 at 2:35 PM ^
MUPPETS!
December 9th, 2017 at 2:36 PM ^
This team should start every game down 15 and never be up by 20
December 9th, 2017 at 2:37 PM ^
And they did it with decent to good defense. Time and again I saw UCLA players drive and have nowhere to go with the ball because the roller was covered. A few steals and an air ball later, and Michigan had a 12-0 run to tie the game and put up a lead in OT.
Go Blue!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:10 PM ^
Where was that the rest of the game? Great comeback win for Michigan. This is something to build on.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:18 PM ^
The defense was really solid the last third of the game. Hopefully it continues, since I doubt Michigan will shoot this poorly from the line the entire year.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:37 PM ^
Go blue! What a glorious comeback!
December 9th, 2017 at 2:42 PM ^
HELL YEAH!!!
December 9th, 2017 at 2:42 PM ^
I've seen that video watermark... but never with muppets
December 9th, 2017 at 2:48 PM ^
Pretty generous use of MUPPETS...
UCLA is like the 44th ranked team in the country.
Great win, no doubt, but MUPPETS? :/
December 9th, 2017 at 2:50 PM ^
When it’s been a while it’s OK. Big win.
December 9th, 2017 at 2:53 PM ^
It’s not so much UCLA, although this will probably be our best non conference win, it’s the fight this team displayed coming back. Nothing went right today yet they stayed together and fought. That a great sign for the rest of the season.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:02 PM ^
Muppets because we all had FUN watching Michigan - which hasn't always been the case in recent memory
December 9th, 2017 at 3:07 PM ^
The importance to this years season was HUGE..come March this win will Help us immensly should we find ourselfs on the Bubble..If they can tack on a win at Texas things will look very Bright
December 9th, 2017 at 3:19 PM ^
with my microphone wire. You understand me?
December 9th, 2017 at 3:33 PM ^
Go fuck yourself
December 9th, 2017 at 4:35 PM ^
I've never understood that.
If we're being honest I mean yeah probably. I average about one every two days. What's the big deal?
December 9th, 2017 at 3:36 PM ^
Great Win AND the Ole Miss piracy is soon to start.
I'm pretty sure that combo is deserving of some muppets.
December 10th, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
Who tells five year olds santa doesn't exist. You may be correct, but who gives a shit? You take the 'n' out of "fun"
December 9th, 2017 at 2:50 PM ^
Muppets for beating a crappy ucla team? eek
December 9th, 2017 at 2:57 PM ^
Fuck off
December 9th, 2017 at 3:22 PM ^
Complaining about Muppets after beating a crappy UCLA team?
December 9th, 2017 at 3:33 PM ^
ahead and delete your life
December 9th, 2017 at 2:55 PM ^
what Muppets felt Like... A Round of Muppets for Everyone! On the House!
December 9th, 2017 at 2:58 PM ^
But it's friggin cold, I'm stuck at work and Michigan just made the day brighter. So why the hell not. GO BLUE!!!! Great comeback today.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:06 PM ^
Kind of feels like forever since we've had some Muppets. I understand some people questioning it but I'll take it.
Nobody could have predicted the last few minutes of that game and overtime. Let's just have some happiness for a day. We're long overdue for it.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:01 PM ^
Over the past few seasons, I've started to realize I enjoy watching basketball games more than football games. I've been struggling to figure out why this is the case, because it's not like the basketball team has been that much better than the football team in their respective sports. Both have consistently been in the 2nd tier of teams, with occasional forays into the top tier (2016 football and basketball were both arguably top tier teams)
I think the reason is that the viewing experience for basketball is just night and day better than football, primarily due to the commercial breaks. In football you don't have a good sense for when they're coming, and they are always long. In basketball, they are predictable - every four minutes of game time. And the "ad hoc" timeouts, primarily used to stop runs, do not last very long (usually under a mnute and maybe 30 s or less), and are not particularly disruptive.
Any way, this was what I was thinking about when we were down 15 in the 2nd half - that is, still beats a football viewing experience. Completing the comeback and winning in OT took it to another level. That was so much fun to watch.

P.S. - A big part of this could be watching Beliein's offense. Even when we stink, the constant movement and precision is so fun to watch

Actually they have most of the time.
2008-09 - football went 3-9, basketball went 21-14 and made 2nd round of NCAAs
2009-10 - football went 5-7; basketball 15-17 (pretty bad all around)
2010-11 - football went 7-6 and lost Gator Bowl; basketball went 21-14 with a big turnaround and made 2nd round of NCAAs
2011-12 - football went 11-2 and won Sugar Bowl; basketball went 24-10, won Big Ten, lost in 1st round of NCAAs.
2012-13 - football went 8-5 and lost Outback Bowl; basketball went 31-8 and played for the national championship
2013-14 - football went 7-6 and lost BWW bowl; basketball went 28-9, won Big Ten, reached Elite Eight
2014-15 - football went 5-7 (but hired Harbaugh after!); basketball went 16-16.
2015-16 - football went 10-3 and won Citrus; basketball went 23-13 and lost in 1st round of NCAAs.
2016-17 - football went 10-3 and lost Orange Bowl; basketball went 26-12, won BTT, reached Sweet 16.

Great W. Go Blue.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:12 PM ^
And with the hinting of the Ole Miss piracy...I’m thinking this is a muppets day
December 9th, 2017 at 3:14 PM ^
going to turn out. This team was starting to get run off the court and didn't look very good. But, they really turned things around and poured it on. Very proud of this team's effort today. Go Blue!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:21 PM ^
I'M HERE FOR THE PIRACY. Let it begin soon, please.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:21 PM ^
Its good to have these mfrs back on the blog!
Big ups!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:21 PM ^
for the glass half empty crowd.
December 9th, 2017 at 4:29 PM ^
Since we won, that's irrelevant, unless you think it's a sign of things to come?
December 9th, 2017 at 3:36 PM ^
Same guys who want JB fired are the ones who are talking shit about today's win. No one can be happy anymore. This fanbase is insufferable sometimes.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:40 PM ^
MUPPETS!!!!!!!!!
It's been a long time since I've seen you! Also, Why do I STILL watch these vids all the way through every single time?
Exciting win and I can't wait for the piracy to begin!
Time to pull the Muppets shirt out of the closet, and enjoy some Army/Navy:
GO BLUE!!!!!!
December 9th, 2017 at 3:50 PM ^
I always watch the videos all the way through, and in the proper order.
As we have seen recently, they are not to be taken for granted.
December 9th, 2017 at 3:42 PM ^
Big win and definitely a learning moment for the younglings on the team, but my god, 8/22 from the free throw line will lose you most games. And on the road against good teams, it’ll get you killed.
December 9th, 2017 at 4:13 PM ^
I lot of free throws will be shot this week in practice. They will wear out the nets and the balls until they start hitting them.
