Last year Michigan opened the tournament as the #4 seed with a win against tOSU.  Then beat the #1 seed Penn State. And took down Maryland to win it.   Following a similar path this year.

Let’s go!   Kill this clock.  This is a program win against the #1 seed and LAX blue blood.  Boehm with 5 just willed this team back.   Excellent 2-4 quarters.  Go Blue!!!

Looked like a clean hit but Hopkins flagged for a X Check to end the half!   Big call as it gives Michigan free possession man up to start the 3rd.   Great quarter

Beautiful go ahead goal on a scramble situation following a sloppy failed ground ball by JHU.  Behind the back pass to the attack for a point blank shot.

ChiSox ballpark with its…

ChiSox ballpark with its terrible name is devoid of any character and sits in a nothing part of town.  But they have light up pinwheels on the scoreboard when someone hits a HR!  Very sterile all concrete feel to it.  

I remember the old ballpark in Arlington when it was somewhat new in ‘94. Steep upper deck stairs and they somehow made a modern stadium with obstructed view seating ala Tiger Stadium. 

I do like Pittsburgh’s ballpark. Smallish with a great view of the surrounding city and bridges.  

Comerica is still very good. The features in the concourse are good, team history and statues of the greats.  Above average experience for kids, carousel and Ferris wheel. Solid sight lines and view of downtown.  They finally installed bigger TVs out by the concessions.  

Fenway is great. Surrounding area is part of the experience.  Historic and unique.  A huge part of baseball.  I wish old Tiger Stadium was still our park.   Nothing better than seeing bits of the field while walking up the ramps.  Then the field opened up as you entered your section. 

I had a work lunch at the ballpark in Milwaukee.  I think it was a TGI Fridays. No game at the time.  It was far from the rest of the city.  The roof was half open. 


 

Braden Fiske to the Rams ‘24…

Braden Fiske to the Rams ‘24 from FSU with 3 years at Western. Recruited as a 3* 1590th overall.  Esposito recruited and coached him up.  

Chase Brown Bengals ‘23 drafted out of Illinois but had a cup of coffee in Kzoo   A 3* 1332nd overall recruit.  

Jayden Reed GB ‘22 from MSU with a year at WMU.  1783rd overall 3* 

It feels like 25 years ago Corey Davis lead the Broncos to a 13-0 record going into that Cotton Bowl.  That team was the best ever  @WMU . Due to the changes there probably never will be a better team.

i did for the first time see a table filled with every team’s hats behind a draftee the other night.  they were all lined up behind the couch on the table.

Brad Galli did a story on it before the draft.  impressive that they print with about 60 sec. notice to get it on stage in time.

got used to Millen and Quinn classes where 2nd and 3rd rounders were out of the league by the end of their 1st contracts.

i believe that grading draft picks as soon as they’re drafted is one of the most futile and foolish exercises in sports.  critiquing a front office for addressing needs sure.  but in reality you can’t fully assess until 2-3 years down the road.  having said that, I think Holmes got a haul in 2021, Sewell 7th A+, Onzurike 41st C-, Mcneill 72nd A , St. Brown 112th A+, Barnes 113th B,  Jefferson 257th D.

‘21 was one of the best drafts in Lions history if not the best, remains to be seen if it’ll be better than ‘89 with Barry, Crockett, Utley, think what you want about Rodney Peete but he had 15 seasons in the NFL, not bad for a 6th rounder.

As for addressing needs, i think they did good not great in this draft.  their clear position of weakness was addressed by the top 2 picks.  they filled needs  for backups/future pieces on D-line and O-line. Likely reached with the 2 picks in the middle and probably could’ve gotten better value for what they traded away to move up for both.

What a clear by Taylor after making the stop!  Stupid post obstructing the camera view of the corner of the field.  I knew something would be missed when I saw that in the 1st.

Michigan has made the mistake of playing not to lose.   Took the foot off the gas with 5:00 and a 5 goal lead.  OSU is within a goal and took the face off and called timeout with 1:08 to go.   Sloppy finish to the game.  Have not won critical ground balls.

With Izzo “determined” it feels like the last few years of Dantonio.  I like the timing of May building it back up.  Sure MSU will continue to recruit but they seem to be stuck in a spiral.

first sprained my ankle playing basketball in 7th grade i think.  After that it felt like a rubber band and would get minor sprains from the occasional uneven pavement or landing on a foot in basketball.

  3rd bad sprain was from flying off a tube behind my uncle’s bass boat a few years after first sprain.  wrapped it and iced it at night.  that summer i spent a lot of time in my cousins pool and in the lake.  never had problems with it since,  that was around ‘91.  I think swimming was key to getting it back.

I watch this every March 26th.  This video is the best and definitely gets the blood pumping.  And if you remember the hit on Draper the outrage was real and the vengeance was cold blooded in this team.

Probably the dumbest foul I’ve ever seen.  Mid court scramble situation with 0.4 to go.  Gifted 2 before the half.

so about an hour after i fall asleep i get a call just after 3am that my dad fell.  He’s complaining about his neck, he’s on blood thinners and i have to take him to Beaumont.  I don’t want to go in with him because i’ve been bio-terrorized by my kids and had been sick since Thu. Turns out no fractured orbital despite a good shiner, subdural hematoma will require an overnight and follow up CT tomorrow.  i get a couple hrs of sleep in time to meet with my contractor to hand over $25K and add $2K in upgrades to this project.  

So i really don’t give 2fux about downvotes or if you have to read to figure it out.  "it’s so hard because i don’t know what sport"! -crybaby Ronny Chieng voice.  Be glad you have a program that was in doubt a year earlier that is now #11 pre-season and defending a conference crown. now you know.  whinier bitches than the nextdoor app.
