Good to be dancing again. Its nice to watch a tournament with special significance. I think Michigan can go to the Big 10 championship as all the teams that handled them are in the top of the bracket. These next few days will be interesting.

Your recent posts are awesome. They are also, thankfully, now irrelevant.

That Minnesota game was hard to live down; this one was how it should have been. Of course, had UM won that game and gone to the tourney, Amaker would still be here, and the program would be muddling through another mediocre season with little direction. So while it hurt then, it may have worked out for the best.

And thanks again for not live blogging! No, I don't think it made a difference, but hey, don't tempt fate! And the difference between Amaker and Beilein is that coach B's teams win when they absolutely have to and improve from game to game. I guess we're in win or lose tomorrow. Just remember that these are young kids. Freshmen and sophomores. As well as they played today, they can play just as intense on the bad side. So please everyone, be proud of what they have accomplished this year whether we sweet 16 it or are one and done in the big dance. It's good to be a Wolverine BB fan again!

Deseo para nada más que decir simplemente que siento absolutamente contento con el resultado del juego de hoy. Quizás aventuraremos adelante derrotar un equipo tal como Syracuse o Clemson y encontrarse posteriormente en el segundo redondo del torneo descrito lo más comúnmente posible como "Marzo Madness."

We're playing with house money the rest of this season. Hopefully a year from now the only uncertainty will be how high Michigan is seeded.

They are just young men, but they are also something more. Upon the glossy municipality of Conceco Fieldhouse, their shadows froze like monuments to a bygone era. The air, thick with the moment's levity, was stifling. It had the taste and the touch and the satisfaction of achievement. We have missed you, oh we have missed you. The old has been replaced by the new, the untouched how now been touched and everything is abuzz with the concentric force of electricity. But in this bristling energy, there are moments of pause. There are always moments so pause, subtle but enduring. Think of Lewis and Clark, how they set their eyes upon the Pacific, expansive and new, how they watched the waves crest and a die on the sandy beaches that marked the beginning of the beginning. Think of their tender embrace, the way that Lewis took Clark into his arms and whispered, "take me, boy, I am yours." There is, always, the bigger picture. But in that bigger picture, there is always the moment.

Any ideas anyone on how to get tickets? Is the alumni association an option?

From someone who was at the Timeout game (yes, that Timeout game), it has been a long time. Wooo!

It's damn near PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

Inexplicably I just happened to be flying during that Minnesota loss a few years ago. I was on my second leg of my trip from LA to DC. I planned my trip perfectly selecting Frontier airlines so I was actually able to watch that game on the plane. I was so pissed during that second half that I'm lucky an air marshall didn't escort me off the plane when we landed. The only consolation on that trip was that I got to nail Miss Florida all weekend so things only got better after that loss.
