|So if no one leaves early
So if no one leaves early from MSU, they will have Trice, Harris, Valentine, Dawson, Costello that is a pretty smooth starting five, and looks even better if McGary, GR3, and Stauskas leave early.
However, Burke, Stauskas, Levert, GR3, McGary would be a fun team to watch next year.

|Agreed, and the defensive
Agreed, and the defensive boards were great and a bonus. I know we heard a little big about Irvin being a defender early in his career, and just thought it might be interesting to see another 6'6" guy, still pretty quick closing out on those corner 3's,
That said, I'm no basketball mind at all, just seems like all that length could be used in some sort crazy defense. The non conference should have us tested for big ten play!

With Caris running the top of that 1-3-1 it looked really good. I'd love to see another 'bigger' guy running the baseline.... Irvin? With truly how effective that was we might being seeing it a lot more.
A nice win tonight against a probable tournament team, great to see the team make that comeback without Burke and Hardaway to go to down the stretch! Hope to close it out sunday, and then finish this non conference schedule strong!

|I always thought that there
I always thought that there must be a certain thing as a shooter that is more effective than just yelling.
Personally, I think anything that would be distracting (like a car horn during your backswing in golf) or anything to take your mind off the shot.. If the entire stadium was silent and then one or a select few members of the Maize Rage yelled something to the shooter, or just had one person scream before the shot (like a screeching yell).

|Always kind of plugged this
Always kind of plugged this team around #10, so Sweet 16 would be slightly underacheiving, and the Elite 8 would be slightly overacheiving.
That said, I think that 30 wins for this team would be a nice total, granted if they get 4 in the BTT and then lose in the 2nd game of the NCAA it would be a terrible disappointment.
At least a BTT semifinal, and sweet 16 would be minimal and anything past a BTT championship and a final four would be "gravy"

Not positive, becuase I don't think they track the stat, but I thought he played pretty well today and sparked a couple runs for us in both the first and second half.
I know the missed layup wasn't good, but Mitch hitting those outside jumpers could prove to be really big in the future for this team. He seems to keep having "his best game of the year"
An angle I haven't read too much about is THJ taking that 3 at the end of regulation, I understand we were rewarded today, but that's two games in a row in a tie game with the ball and we took 3 pointers, I feel like burke should be able to get into the lane and take an easier shot. And also it seems like after the under 4 media timeout we go into a shell and stop running the offense. I know Stauskis passed up an open 3 early in OT and I'm sure we ran the clock down for a similar contested shot at the end of the possession.
Just have to somehow get over that one quick and regroup for msu!

Izzo's biggest accomplishment in March is winning the 2nd game of the weekend. He does have a few 1st round exits, but most of his exits are in the 1st game of the weekend (only 3 exits in the 2nd game of the weekend).

|Week 4, Tate moved up the
Week 4, Tate moved up the depth chart because that's when Devin got hurt, which is why he is trying to get a medical redshirt, not a regular redshirt.
That's like saying coach Hoke shouldn't have used him last year becuase they could have redshirtted him... He obviously used him as the #2 QB, maybe coach rodriguez just thought he was better than Tate and in that regard you can't fault him.
All in all coach rodriguez MAY or MAY not have burned his redshirt in his freshman year, but Hoke most certainly did LAST year. I understand they were different circumstances and Gardner won us/helped us win a few games, but if we're comparing an extra year to a probable win against Illinois there is no discussion.
Coaches make decisions that they believe are the best for the team.

I think this top 14 scenario is very interesting. All of those teams in the SEC and only 2 can go to a BCS game. By my math:
Obviously matchups don't mean anything:
K-state v. oregon
ND v. Nebraska
Louisville v. Florida State
Alabama v Oklahoma
LSU v Clemson
With the only other team available being Stanford (to replace Oklahoma or Clemson), but if they lose to Oregon, they will more than likely fall from the top 14.
My prediction is BEAT ohio, and back to the Sugar bowl vs. LSU!!!

|ND's New Barn
Headed down to South Bend on saturday night to check out the game and was VERY impressed with the new rink down there! Its just beautiful. Students are lacking enthusiasm as there were about two "huuuunnnnnwick" chants (probably because they were actually becoming so frustrated with his glove (saturday night at least). Their sole goal chant was uninspired and honestly have heard it louder at high school hockey games or even some crazy IM games back at Yost.
One thing that I found interesting is no advertisements along the boards, very refreshing to see! They are obviously building a contender down there and its a shame that the CCHA is dissolving becuase ND and Miami have really become good rivals.
Also, on a random side note, is it crazy that all 6 michigan schools in the CCHA are in the top 20???

Don't get me wrong they obviously are playing to win, but if georgia, lsu, and Alabama all are in the bcs, that's 3 teams getting that huge payout for the SEC to split, plus lsu is almost automatically in the nat. Championship already....
I'd love Bama to get left out of the bcs though with a georgia win and a ok st stomping of Oklahoma!

|What is all this #14 talk???
Under BCS rules, a team must finish in the top 14 of the final BCS standings to be considered for a BCS at-large berth -- unless there's only one team from its conference in the top 14. So if only one Big Ten team finishes in the top 14 of the final BCS standings, Michigan could still receive an at-large bid as long as it finishes in the top 18.
Seems like we should be okay because the Big Ten will only have 1 team in the top 14 after the Big Ten Championship game....
And, just remember although we are one of the most attractive team to choose for the BCS at large, just being up for consideration won't give it to us automatically, theres still a chance we aren't selected.. This is unlikely, but possible.

|Exactly. Now, I see the
Now, I see the two sides of most of these hits, also as a former player I have some perspective on the game
Chara's hit on Patch, dirty/intentional: in a way NO, but anyone who has played the game KNOWS where the boards end like that and dream of rubbing someone out. OBVIOUSLY not injuring someone, but making a good hit. Also, if you are the offensive player in that situation you ALSO know where you are on the ice and you have to be aware.
Komisarek also had a huge hit earlier in the week and people are saying Mark Olver was defenseless, Komisarek left his feet, hit him high (yada yada yada)... The thing is these hits don't happen if the offensive player has his head up, I've been hit enough times to think twice about going over the middle, making a clearing pass, trying to squeeze by along the boards...
Alot of these hits are debatable, the hits that really need to be removed are the ones like Matt Cooke last week, where he literally threw his elbow right on the chin

|Just a quick question
Just a quick question regarding the tournament this year, I'm under the impression that the worst 4 teams have play-in games for the 16 seeds, and then the "Last 4 in, At Large teams" also play in Dayton. How can Michigan State and Colorado be 11 seeds and have to play in that play-in game while both BC and Clemson are listed as 12 seeds? Is it just a geographical issue? Why not make Michigan state and Colorado 12 seeds?
Either way thats going to make those 5/12 matchups in the "1st Round" even more interesting.

|Not that I have any clue what
Not that I have any clue what Chara was thinking at the time, but they bumped and then Chara finished his check. I don't think he intended to knock him out, but TRUST ME, as a former hockey player you know right where you are on the ice when the glass starts at the end and middle of the benches. He didn't intended to injure him, but I would think he almost certainly wanted to rock his world into the glass between the benches. This is a dangerous part of hockey and I hope and wish Patch a speedy recovery.

|Wishful Thinking
It would be great if we can somehow manange 2 or 3 wins and get off the bubble completely.
Remember, this year, the field has 68 teams and its not all the 16 seeds playing in the Tuesday matchups, it also includes the last four AT LARGE selections. I understand that would still be amazing, but it would be nice to just have our name in the bracket and not in a play-in game...
On a big ten tourney note, I would love to stay in the top 6 to avoid osu or purdue in the quarters. It would be great to have that first round bye, but I think that those two teams have separated themselves from wisconsin!
GO BLUE! beat state!

|I believe your post has some
I believe your post has some very valid points. But you need to look at the fact that we played against ohio state for the big ten championship in 2007, 2006, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001... ect.
We were constantly playing for Big Ten championships, which is where everyone would like us to be.
And I really wish people would stop bringing up 2005. I understand that we are 7-5 this year and we went 7-5 that season. But do you even remember that season??? We lost 5 games by 21 points. 21 points! 21 points! We just lost by 30!
Our biggest loss that season was 7 points. We lost 17-10 to ND and in that game we were stopped on 4th down on ND's 5 yd line. Threw and INT at the ND 1, and fumbled at the ND 1.
I really think that your point was that we weren't setting things on fire before RR got here, so why is everyone complaining? Its just where we've fallen in the Big Ten race. When was the last 3 times we've had less than 5 conference wins before the Ohio State game? 1967/1966/1965. Since 1968 we had finished outside the top 3 in the Big ten a TOTAL of 7 times. Its not hard to figure out when 3 of those 7 were.
Coach Rod said it himself, this has taken longer than expected. But be patient everyone its going to be better, RR will continue to show improvement and I truly think that in 3 more years people will be back to complaining about people jumping on the bandwagon!
Go Blue! Go Coach Rodriguez! Lead us back to the top!

I think you missed something major:

In all honesty, going from 3 to 5 to 7 isn't what I was expecting, but I'm very okay with this progress. I hope the next 3 seasons go 9, 11, 13 (Gardner being a senior) :) Hell 4 years from now maybe there will be a playoff in place and he can get 15 wins!!!!!
Everything is going to be okay everyone, lets go win a bowl game!

The biggest thing about this is that the Big East could have a representative in UCONN, but also the SEC could have South Carolina, and the ACC could have NC State.
It doesn't meant that those conferences don't deserve a bid, it has to be taken as a whole. There are definitely some problems though. I just hope that they don't match TCU or Boise against the Big East. I'd love to see those teams play some legit competition!

I didn't mean to single out 2006, I just like the feel of Auburn v. Alabama (last game of the season) more than Miami v. Florida State (when is that game anyways... haha) certainly not the ACC championship game.

We are constantly making excuses that we only have freshman playing in the secondary, our LBs are just not good enough, ect. ect.
We all give the excuse that we have to let the team grow up. Now I can't believe our defense is actually playing this poorly and a change would definitely be in order, but why not let greg robinson, turn this thing around?
Best case scenario would be to bring in a defensive course and coach rod basically giving him total control of the defense. Only thing that scares me is that once again our players will have to learn ANOTHER system on defense...

Take everything for what it was... In 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007 we played ohio for the Big Ten championship.
7 out of the last 8 years playing the last game of your regular season for a championship is alright in my books.
Coach Rod will be there soon enough too!!! There is no need to divide on why its better now and why its going to be better soon. It doesn't do any good. Everyone's point is valid, let coach Rod turn this program around and he can start racking up Big Ten championships, just like Lloyd and just like Bo.

OP: I mean if you want to look at it like that I feel like you aren't making a lot of sense...
Injuries killed that team down the stretch. Just like they have hurt us along with departures this season and the prior two. To think that if we would have given a better effort against Wiscy the weekend before, 2007 would be our last Big Ten championship year.
Also lets reflect back on 2007, 2006, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1998, 1997. These 9 years we played ohio for the Big Ten Championship!
Plus a little sweetness in knocking them off in both 1995/1996!
Lets try and keep things a little positive around here! We'll be back to these days soon, I think as soon as next year. Playing for the big ten championship is what its all about, and this year we stop ohio's streak, while next year we start our own!

A loss there, a loss on a QB draw @ wisconsin, a 17-10 home loss with about what seemed like 15 redzone turnovers against ND, and about a 60 yard run to set up a FG for minnesota (who was without their starting QB and trying to run out the clock).........

|In no way am I taking a shot
In no way am I taking a shot at coach Rodriguez, but lets go back to when coach Carr announced he would be stepping down...
Had Michigan hired/promoted someone from within, and the offensive scheme remained the same, there is a VERY good chance that in 2008 (3-9) we would have been playing with Manningham, Arrington, Mallett, Boren....... Now I'm not saying we'd be world beaters but 7-5 or 8-4 plus a bowl game would have been very attainable, likewise in 2009 I feel that with a Junior QB in Mallett we once again wouldn't have dominated anything but probably finished in the 8-4 range...
So were we missing some talent? Yes. But was it enough to shoot us down to 8 wins over 2 years? Not necessarily. It was combined with the new offense installed with way way way too many new players.
I don't think coach Carr mailed anything in... Maybe he realized himself that he just wasn't getting it done recruiting over his last two seasons and knew he should be stepping down.
So what it comes down to, is getting through a few more 8-4 seasons before everything would have blown up in our face (probably right about this season). Or seeing where we are at right now. Our offense is very very good, with a quarterback who has only started 8 games. Our defense will get better, whether its scheme or players, it will get better and our offense is improving.
No need to blame Carr, no need to blame Rodriguez. Lets get a couple more wins and win a bowl game and keep improving on this for next season!

Hopefully he only plays about 6 or 7 of the next 12 quarters and we are 5-0! This would be spectacular!

Right. Yea its a pretty equal comparison right now I think. Superbowls are no doubt very important, but as it looks Manning will have the greatest statistics EVER in a few years, as long as favre finally retires.
I feel like I remember Marino being listed as one of the best to play and thats because he held all the records. But now his records are slipping away and he obviously had no Superbowls. Manning has his championship a second one would all but end the conversation.

Okay, I'm a fan of both and here is how I break it down.
Brady 3 Super Bowls and very good statistics
Manning 1 Super Bowl and more than likely the best statistics EVER.
I personally think Manning has to win another championship before he reaches that next level. Now if he finishes his career with all of Favre's records and has the Superbowl he'll be in the argument, but if he gets the 2nd Superbowl his records will carry him past everyone else. Because if you go just on Superbowls, Bradshaw is the best and Marino is as good as Joey Harrington.

Moss struggled in Oakland, and instantly is a success again in New England. I think both Quarterbacks are so good they make their teammates so much better.

I would normally consider myself as a person who doesn't complain about the refs, but did that really happen? The first penalty was a standard the home team is losing by a goal late, lets give them a chance. Which, although stupid it does happen. Terrible call though. Why did the wisconsin player have to throw his stick while being tripped? but the 2nd penalty? really? They could make that call 40 times a game. No lie. probably 40 times.
But, we just needed to finish, we had at least 3 or 4 chances late to score another, and no one could finish.
Alright boys, lets close out these last 7 strong. ND got swept, so we are looking solid for that top 4 finish. Lets take out BGSU tuesday and hopefully take our last trip into Omaha for while and grab 2 victories!

I know that hope is lost for this season, but really I don't think we have fallen as far as it seems. If we just have a couple better shooting games we are right there probably 14-8 or 15-7 even, with a legit shot at the tourney.
I was wondering where all our beautiful back door plays disappeared to, but now its evident that no one respects the shooting and therefore can just sag back and let us shoot and miss, and generally be one and done.

I was at this game tonight. The refs were terrible. It seemed like they had no idea what was going on during the entire game. Ferris students even started a "we want shegos" chant, which i just smiled at.
The first goal they scored was absolutly terrible. It would be like if you were a first baseman and the ball was thrown to your glove side and you just totally missed it.
The last penalty the Ferris player tried to dangle through Kampfer and he just stood him up, and they called him for holding.
Their second goal, I couldn't see a huge problem with the goalie interference from my view, but about 15 seconds before the goal a UM player was tripped up. It was one of those ah we don't have to call it because it doesn't look like it will turn into a scoring chance, but it gave Ferris the puck which they had until the D-man who pinched in fired a laser in the top corner.
This would have been a nice one to at least get the tie. Hopefully we can grab a couple wins next week!

Going into the season I thought that CMU had a very favorable chance to run the table, and against some decent teams. It would have been cool to see them play a mid level Big 12 or SEC team. Hopefully Lefevour can go out on top. He has had a tremendous career. Just 153 yards behind Harrell for second all time and 1464 behind Timmy Chang. That could have been in reach if not for some injuries last season. I'm looking forward to him putting up a few more touchdowns on that all time record as well!
He needs 64 yards rushing for 3,000. That would put him in the the 12,000/3,000 club.

yea, I think this is terrible decision. I would have loved to see these teams play major conference opponents. Because they are legit teams. I would have rather Boise not make it just so we can compare how good TCU is against someone.
We already know that the WAC champion beat the Pac10 champ. Lets see if the Mtn. West Champ can knock off another conference champ. Also I will not be watching the orange bowl now as it does not interest me. I'd love for Cincinnati to beat Florida 33-13 just to prove a point(no pun intended).
Oh well I guess the big ten along with the SEC is the only conference with 2 teams...

|How many great games has
How many great games has McDonough and Millen called this year? Along with UM/ND and this Cincy/Pitt game. I know they called a few other great games too, but just can't remember! I enjoy their announcing.

It would have been close... But who would have won the game vs. Michigan????

|So if something was to be
So if something was to be adopted where conference champions get an Auto-bid. Out of Conference matchups should once again get real good. Because if Michigan played USC, Oklahoma, Boise and Eastern and went 1-3, the fun has just begun. I would love to see some big OOC matchups again!! Well more than we see now...
Everyone and your playoffs, don't forget the kiddies have to study for their finals!!!

|Yes, the most important thing
Yes, the most important thing is the autobids. EVERY conference must have one, or they might as well not be D1. But it obviously gets tricky when you look at a team like ND. This would all but force them to join a conference. (Army/Navy too). But instead of 16, I think you could do 12. That allows all 11 conference winners and 1 at large. This would go to a team like Texas (if they lost), or the Bama/Florida loser this year. It would cause some problems in the case that if Florida and Texas lose, who gets the at large bid. (But both teams LOST their conference and should be thankful they are still in the picture) With a 12 team playoff the first and second round would be played at home sites, with the top 4 teams getting a bye. (Might as well use the BCS to figure this out so its at least used for something). Also, RE-SEEDING is key. If Troy pulls a first round upset, they get Florida. There is no reason for Florida to have to play Ohio State in the second round if Troy is available to them. Then do something exciting with the major bowls. That is only 2 weeks of travel, and I'm assuming if the national championship would be more like the super bowl which people would go to regardless. So my bracket this year (with favorites winning):
#12 Troy @ #5 Boise St
#4 Cincinnati plays highest ranked winner.

$10 He picks notre dame to win the national championship next year...
Actually if you give me 10-1 odds, I'll take Lou Holtz picking Notre Dame to win the national championship THIS YEAR.
Anyone hear him announce "James Clausen" for heisman consideration tonight?

|I can see him walking out
I can see him walking out with the old cardboard box and on top of it is a picture of him and Brady Quinn, and a thank you note to Ty willingham for letting him have two good seasons. I doubt he took the time to clean out the refrigerators in his office, he probably let the cleaning staff do that...

|How great is it when they do
How great is it when they do those mock trials where him and May pick a side. I believe good ole lou thinks he's actually representing someone in real life... I can't stand him, but for some reason I just laugh at how ridiculous he is during those segments.

|With both teams it could be
With both teams it could be very good for the big ten we each do decent. I haven't looked at other top teams in the big ten, but If msu can grab one from UNC or texas and UM steals a couple as well it bodes very well for our conference and thats a big thing as well come selection time!

|Why do we have to be for or
Why do we have to be for or against a coach. Its like people want coach rod to fail. The football team is representing a wonderful place where some of us went to school. Did I like coach Carr? Yes. Did I ever say he should be fired? No. Do I like coach Rod? Yes. Have I ever said he should be fired? No. But if that were to happen, or he were to step down 15 years from now, I will support the next coach just the same. Instead of focusing on what he hasn't done. You should focus on what he can do! If he can pull one out on Saturday we could be looking at a nice 7 game winning streak before we welcome the spartans to our house next october. I can't wait for saturday!

|I have probably said that "I
I have probably said that "I hate instant replay" about 1,000,000 times. The only sport I find it reasonable is tennis. It takes 5 seconds!
Why do these things happen:
A team takes a timeout, get their play set and then when they come back from timeout the ref announces the previous play is under review. What were they doing during the timeout? (happened to ND on saturday night) They lost the ball, and their timeout.
When a ball is thrown low and its called a catch and they show one replay and it bounces, but it still takes 3 minutes to review the play. Don't we have the technology to be like "dude, ref, it bounced put it back on the 35 with 3:17. Instead teams are forced to hope that the replay official buzzes down in time so the play is challenged. If a team hurries to the line isn't that reason enough to say "hey lets take a look at this" because it was obviously a close play.
The ball is fumbled and the play is blown dead, except the play isn't dead, you better recover the fumble even though the whistle blew. How does this make any sense? Not to mention I swear some refs swallow their whistles if they think its close just to let it play out and then go review it after. Even though sometimes teams don't have enough time to challenge the play, or don't have challenges left.
Lastly, when the review the play they get the call WRONG! How do you overturn something and have it be WRONG?
I hate instant replay.

|What makes the most sense is
What makes the most sense is to seed the conference champions and have a playoff. Just like they used to do in college basketball. You win your conference and you make the dance. So just based on what we have currently we'd have
Do the math and check out the AMAZING quarterfinal matchups.
Sorry, if people think that Alabama is better than Troy (they are, and I'm not saying bama won't win the SEC) but if you can't win your conference you don't make the playoffs. Or else there is no point for the Sun Belt/MAC/C-USA/Mtn West/WAC to even play D-1 football. Of course Alabama is better than Troy, but every team should be given a chance. If we had a 4 team playoff, Boise State probably gets left out, and we are in the same situation we are right now. Just my take. Everyone deserves a chance.

|I'll take the blame
After the defensive TD I texted a friend saying the D was playing well today. At the time we had forced a punt, got an INT, forced another punt (roughing the punter), and got a sack-fumble-td. I made the text and we didn't make another stop the rest of the game. Sorry.
Not placing any blame, but early in this game we had an opportunity to jump out way ahead with two drives starting inside the UW 40. Only getting 3 points and helping them continue a drive on the roughing the punter penalty was just too much to overcome. I do find it very strange that we have been absolutly dominated in the 2nd half in the last few games. That doesn't exactly cheer me up. Lets finish out this season with a couple wins let some young guys develop and come out stronger next fall!

|Craps is great. So much
Craps is great. So much action. Just learn what the sucker bets are and stay away from them. Don't play the field, and make sure you know the correct odds on the numbers. But if you can get a hot shooter its the best game in the world. I once rolled for 45 minutes in San Juan, Puerto Rico and everyone was chanting "Willy" before everyone of my rolls because they thought that was my name. I didn't care and just went with it the whole night. The next day when I was with the people I went to san juan with, some people from the table yelled to me and said "nice shooting willy." and my friends were like did they just call you willy?
Ahh memories. Craps is expensive though. Money can go real fast.

It's Lauren again! Jayn and I have had such a blast broadcasting from Aulani in Hawaii, but our time here is coming to an end.
I love that "Aloha" means both hello and goodbye, because even though it's almost time to say "Aloha, Aulani!", it's just a reminder of what we'll be saying next time we come here.
I can't believe how much we've packed into the last few days: paddleboarding, Disney movies, kayaking, delicious meals, hula dancing, water slides, snorkeling, sunset watching… I could seriously keep going.
And even though we did so many different things, there's still more to do here! I can't wait to come back with my husband 🙂
Mahalo, Aulani, for the best vacation ever!!!
