I'm a bit raw today. Please ask again later
Legends don't run off. Love coach B but.. NO WAY!
legends win national titles
Though break for Bo, then.
The football field isn't named after him..... is it?
Yep, let’s pretend that Bo isn’t treated as a legend.
Funny how our board flip flops on that. Try saying goodbye to the “legend” that is Lloyd Carr in 2008 and see how that goes.
Why?
No. This is a bad idea.
No. Fuck off with this nonsense.
I respectfully decline. And furthermore, no f-ing thank you.
I'd rather it be called "The Fab Five Court" or "Court of the Fab Five". That was history making...history making in college basketball, pop culture, and Michigan Basketball. That team was the most influential teams in the history of college basketball. Period.
"Fab Five Floor" has a nice ring to it. Also you're right about that team's influence.
OK, now just nuke the thread, please.
Maybe we should just take a time out from posting for a while.
Are you fucking kidding me?! GTFO!
WAAAYYYY too soon.
Damn.
How about we sign a petition for you to kiss our collective asses
Now that’s a petition I’d sign.
Oh Jonah why?
Ironic that the OP's name is Jonah.
Let me guess, the OP was on the Maize Rage “executive board”
Holy shit. This is the dumbest shit I have seen all day. And I'm watching the Bachelorette with my wife right now...
On this shitty day, this comment made me laugh. Well done.
Literally LOL’d at that. Me to. Anything said on Bachelorette tonight made more sense than this idea.
Still laughing about your post uofmchris1!
No u
Y tho?
Can we sign a petition about regaining the ability to vote on OPs?
Had he retired here, I'd have signed the petition...but not this way... sorry...
Had he retired here, I would've legally changed my middle name to "JohnBeilein". Now? Nah. I appreciate what he's done but I also wonder if he appreciates how much he's given up to pursue the NBA dream. The pros may have a handful of things that college doesn't (money, no recruiting, etc...) but no NBA coach will ever be beloved like a college coach. None.
Jerry Sloan? I grew up watching the Jazz, and he is still beloved by the fan base as far as I can tell. Not saying that could happen again, and it certainly won't happen with the situation Beilein is going into, but it does happen. Also, Spurs fans love Pop. Maybe it's a small market, right front office NBA phenomenon
That's a fair point about Pop currently. When I pondered current coaches he's really the only one who I thought might've come close. As an outsider, it seems as though everybody in San Antonio really likes him, but he isn't the king of his kingdom in the way a college coach could be (though maybe my estimation of that is off). I've got markedly less familiarity with Jerry Sloan, admittedly.
Just logging in to make sure there's no shortage of voices shitting on this terrible idea.
I've got a better idea...no fucking way.
Too soon, man. Too soon.
This is like trying to give your dad the “Greatest Dad in the World” award right after he divorced your mom.
How about greatest MILF in the world award after banging his mom?
p.s. shitty idea
I’ll sign this after I sign the petition to create a new fight song
Like Coach. Appreciate what he did in his time with the program. But yeah, no thanks. Bar for something like that needs to be higher.
Fucking HELL NO!!!
I love John Beilein and wish him well at Cleveland. But the simple fact is that he left for what he considers a better place. He had a great run here, an awesome run. He may be considered a legend in time, but not right now. In fact, if Manual makes a good hire, we might forget about Beilein after a Championship with his (mostly) players...
He doesn't get a court named after him. At least not right now...
How about no.
Hard pass.
So far four people have signed. That is four too many.
So you're saying there's a chance?
And how about finally getting a mascot, too, while we're at it? Sheesh.
Let's not.
What the fuck is going on here today?
Is this serious?
like above, he didn’t win no national championship.
wtf?
that is some wack Michigan kool aid shit.
Steve Fisher won one.
Where is he honored?
We do a shit job of recognizing our MBB greats. Haven't raised any jerseys into the rafters since the Amaker era.
The court or something should be named after Beilein someday. But not any time soon. Don't know what the OP was thinking with this.
There should be a moratorium on naming anything after a living person. It sends all kinds of bad messages, and it leaves you open to embarrassment should that person go on to do something you'd rather they didn't.
As for retired jerseys -- I'm pretty sure you have to be a graduate to get your jersey raised, and I'm OK with that, even as it's increasingly likely that there will never be another four-year player at Michigan worthy of a retired jersey. If Burke, Webber, or Rose want to come back and get a degree, fine.
