Take your mind off Harbaugh. Let's raise our spirits by watching basketball at Purdue on Peacock.

Llewellyn leading the team in scoring. Yikes! But it's a road game. Big ten baby!

Does the infamous blue wall ever ask juwan tough questions about what he has done to the team??? I never hear any commentary from him about how everything now completely sucks ass and he's failing.

Disaster factory. JH had one good year, and it was with a ton of NBA guys. Then you've had BB and other people who don't know basketball trying to prop this up. Shit has been real bad for a while. I love the Fab 5, but this is abominable, and I canceled my YouTube TV early this year to stop watching. Bye money cannon.

The fondest memory of the Michigan/Purdue rivalry was Teske dunking the ball over Haas in the 2017 B10 championship….that memory has now faded into an announcer saying “Michigan is still continuously playing hard” against the Boilermakers while down 30.

That was actually 2018 in the B1G Championship game fresh off beating the brakes off of the loaded #2 in the nation MSU squad a day prior. Moe got in foul trouble early and Teske stepped in and balled.

2017 was where we defeated the absolutely loaded Purdue squad in OT when they had NPOY Swanigan (RIP), the Edwards boys, Thompson, and that white guy who shot 40% from 3 along with Haas. 

I know, we had so much success in the 2010's that it is hard sometimes to decipher which great performance happened when.

Maybe the best thing to happen would be for this team to go up to EL and get absolutely obliterated on national TV, in front of God and everybody, on a Sunday. A 40 point ass-beating. Just get clowned on CBS for the whole world to see.

If that wouldn’t get Warde’s attention, I’m not sure what will.

EDIT: Ah, shit. It’s a Tuesday night game. And it’s on Peacock, no less. No one gets to see this disaster, I guess.

Sadly, this game was over in my mind when I saw the spread earlier today and my first thought was “oh, I’d take Purdue -17.5 all day.” I’ve never bet against UM before but I should have…sadly, that was as close to a sure thing as you get.

So if Warde decides not to fire Juwan this year, I wonder if he will get the entire year next year or if there is a point where things look like this that he goes midseason.

After going to 3 straight B1G Tournament championship games (winning 2) and winning the B1G in 2021 we have been relegated to an absolute shell of ourselves of a program. We have gone from a mainstay in the second weekend (Made at least the Sweet 16 in 7 of 10 years) to not even being good enough to qualify for the CBI. 

This is worse than Ellerbe who took over a program fresh off scandal and Amaker who took over the team during sanctions. As far as talent goes, the last 2 seasons have had significantly more talent than any Ellerbe or Amaker team. Shoot, way more talent than Beilien's 2010-11 team that basically had Morris and then the gritty guys of Douglas and Novak (THJ was so inconsistent and J-Mo as a freshman was a focal point of the offense).
