So great to see Verlander dealing like a madman out there. Hate to admit I was one of those who thought he might be a "500" pitcher with a 4+ ERA at best.
Show of hands for those that thought a year and a half ago he had become & would remain a mediocre pitcher at best?

After the game Coach Altman for Oregon said they wanted to foul after the inbounds, but player didn't get the message.

That's because they were all old. Most of them are all 25 yrs old now. If you go to a charter school, they are all fresh out of college. So true. Especially with the amount of charter schools in the city all you see is unqualified "hot" chicks teaching children. It's pretty sad the direction of education in this country. Bam! Back in the day it was all about "helping mold the future of young people", now it's.....HEY, summers off!!!!! What a gig!!

Devin Booker goes for 70. One of Beilein's post final four recruiting fails. 11th time in history someone put 70 on the board & the 6th time it was in defeat.

It was a fun ride while it lasted. Hopefully this will quell the Beilein criticism, and he can get some higher rated recruits. Fun yes.....but a shitty way to end it. The rebound given up on the front end of the 1 & 1 was horrible. THE key moment of the game. W was definitely within reach!

I had such a weird confidence going into the game. I never really felt worried when we were down. I hear ya. Couldn't watch the 1st half, busy at work. Goal was to get out of the office to catch the last 10 minutes. No matter what the score was at that time had confidence that it would be a game down the stretch. I'll take the W....but Louisville sure missed a few bunnies late. What the hell on the blown dunk? Dude hanging on the rim while he attempted to tip his miss back in. Is that not a T !!! Guess rulebook has changed.

Think about it. Early/Midway in the B1G season. The battle cry. Replace Beilein. Early/Midway in the B1G season. Replace PSU's Franklin. Similar late season heroics coming down the pike??

Haven't faced a defense like this. Hadn't faced an offense like Okie State either. 4 more to go!!! OK, stand corrected. UCLA.........

Yeah, I didn't even realize he was on the hot seat... I had heard some chatter about it.........but I thought they had some injuries down there this season so I thought it was ludicrous. Thought he'd get another chance next season. Had heard some chatter previously Missouri was interested in him & might make a run. Maybe it's a mutual parting.

I think there is a very good chance that U=M and MSU are both one and dones Call me a settler. But I'll take a B1G tournament championship over a 2-3 wins in the tournament. It's not like this team is a final four team, so at least they got something out of this season. They can hang a banner for this. I am happy for Derrick Walton Jr. He has had a nice skill set, he just seems to have been a late bloomer. Too bad he didn't play like this as a Sophomore. Often it seems to be a no win situation. If you "make a run" & roll to the sweet 16 or elite 8 with a mediocre team you're told, "where's you chip ring"...ie you didn't accomplish anything. If you get the 2nd season conference banner but exit as that 6-7-8 or worse seed right off the get-go it's like your season was a bust. Under this years circumstances with the flight the B1G Tourney banner carries more juice than usual.

I dont know that a team can play worse than Michigan did tonight in the last 4 or so minutes. Good for NW. Sacked up and made the play at the very end, unlike Maize & Blue! Putting Cats on my board for Sweet 16 Baby!

This team has really woken up. Its a shame they have to start over again next year. I heard a rumor that Wagner may go pro in Germany Seriously??? What a setback that would be! JB can't catch a break.......

Izzo shouldn't give a damn about what Dakich is tweeting, but Dakich does come off often as an ass. I guess he's cornball enough to appease some of the masses on ESPN....but my take is he's quite a bit of a cartoon character. An early day Dickie V lite I guess on a bit of a different scale.

So many great memories thanks to Mr. Ilitch No question. To make the effort he did in Hockey & Baseball.....kudos to him. Steinbrenner lite without the BS. Spend the $$ if that's what it takes.

With the basketball team all of a sudden turning into a National power I think maybe somebody should check out what kind of "promises" they're getting also!

So what's every one's take on the following:
Rather have the Lions MAKE Super Bowl LI & have the epic collapse at the hands of the Pats & Brady like the Falcons did or as things happened didn't get even a sniff of it this year?
Personally, couldn't handle what ATL fans are dealing with right now.

Newsome is for sure not playing next year right? Is there any news on him? Also, are there any grad transfers around that are about 6'5" and 315 lbs that can get into Ross? On the Michigan Insider radio show Sam Webb reported that Drevno said "don't count Newsome out", that "rehab is going well". Take it for what it's worth....#positivespin

Is this rock bottom for the Wings? Last night sure did seem like it. Totally dominated by a rookie infested Babcock led Maple Sap team. It almost seems like a fluke ANY time Wings score a goal. Its inevitable that they will turn the puck over in their own zone once or twice before they ACTUALLY do get it out, that is if the puck doesn't end up in the back of their net. Power Play is THE joke of the league. Are any of the Wings defensemen anything better than a number 4 for ANY playoff caliber team? Are we already at our "Dave Lewis" moment as far as our Coaching rope length given to Jeff Blashill? Obviously Wings don't have the talent we had back then, but is there a stronger candidate out there to get MORE from the players the Wings do have? Sucks there are no big time prospects out there this year for Wings to snatch up.

Certain radio hosts trying to say last week that Aaron Rodgers is the best QB of all time. Lol. Well technically they said IF Rodgers beat Matt Ryan & Tom Brady then you could start a conversation about it. Although starting a conversation about it 3 weeks before it could possibly happen seemed kinda dumb. It was definitely meant as a call out to the Brady lovers to chime in then & there!!

I see Watson throwing 3+ picks tonight. Bama 27-17 Nailed it After Clemson made it 21-24, then stuffed Bama & got the ball back with 12 to go....a buddy asks me, "is this the drive"? I said, nah....gonna be inside the 2 minute mark. Clemson took over with 2:01 to go, then Watson marches em down! Awesome!

So that's how you win a Natty!! Run pick plays at the goal line....not once but twice & get away with it. But seriously, did Watson show some huge ones tonight or what getting pummeled by that Bama D & still piloting them to the win.
