    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT BUTLER NIT FIRST ROUND IN-GAME POST-SEASON BASKETBALL(!!!) THREAD!!!***

    Not that it means anything but a bit of trivia that most people don't know, Crean is Jim and John Harbaugh's brother-in-law.

    Who's Your Side Show Bob's?

    Good and interesting topic. He might appear in too many episodes to fit the criteria laid out by the OP (about one in every three), but I always enjoyed Suart Margolin's portrayal of Angel on The Rockford Files.

    Gophers rumored to be paying $30,000 for Kramer to play in bowl game

    Won't Kramer be surprised when he finds out he's going to be paid in Fleck bucks!

    The NCAA has opened an investigation into No. 2 Michigan over possible rule-breaking around in-person scouting of opponents

    Maybe so, but I'll take a coach who gives weird answers in press conferences all day long who wins games at a high level.

    The NCAA has opened an investigation into No. 2 Michigan over possible rule-breaking around in-person scouting of opponents

    There's also a provision that allows 3rd parties to be hired to scout opponents. Obviously what this Stalions guy did went beyond that.

    The NCAA has opened an investigation into No. 2 Michigan over possible rule-breaking around in-person scouting of opponents

    Connor Stalions in one weird dude. I wouldn't be surprised if he's on the spectrum. He seems to have pulled this spying off without anyone else on the staff knowing. His mother is a big Michigan fan and seems to have indulged him since he was little and probably helped him finance the whole...

    East Lansing News: Spartan Fans Look to Basketball as Football Loses Again

    I asked a Michigan reporter six questions.

    I'm guessing the only Michigan fans who care about the Little Brown Jug are old timers like me. Also, I look at the one-sidedness of the game the past 55 year in a similar vein as Michigan's struggles with OSU the past 20 years where the losing team would have won at least a few games were it...

    2 Keys to Win v Michigan

    Do that, and Michigan will have to be sure to bring their own jug of Gatorade to games.

    2 Keys to Win v Michigan

    Focus on the pass for offense and stack the box to slow down Michigan's running game on defense. Michigan has one of the top D-lines in college football, and nobody has been able to run consistently against them. Based on PFF scores so far this season, Michigan has the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th...

    Iowa's McNamara likely out for season with leg injury suffered on Saturday

    Maybe that have a limit of one geezer and DeNardo already fills that slot.

    Iowa's McNamara likely out for season with leg injury suffered on Saturday

    It really sucks that he was injured. But of all the places to transfer to, why would any player on offense (except maybe a TE) transfer to a team with Brian Ferentz as OC?

    New Odds to Win National Championship (Gophers tied #32) and Big Ten (Gophers #6)

    I was surprised to see some of the Big 10 odds as well. But obviously whatever algorithm is used to come up with this list is factoring in the schedule. Rutgers has to still play all the East teams, including Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, and the West opponents left on their schedule are...

    Eastern Michigan vs. Howard

    I have a Master's degree from EMU and there were no fans then, either. Now granted, this was 40 some years ago and I don't really follow the Hurons as they were known back then, so I'm not up on how they are doing currently. They came up with gimmicks to increase attendance, like having the...

    45% of players who entered the portal this year will not play NCAA basketball in the upcoming 2023-24 season.

    The situation was different before I retired, because players most times had to sit out a year transferring between Div. 1 schools. But when I taught at an NAIA school, there were plenty of former Div 1 players coming through. For many of them this was their 3rd stop. They were generally...

    SI: Bulletin board material for Gophers quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis

    It's obvious there is not much effort put into some of these lists, especially once we're beyond the top 20 or so. A much better and more detailed analysis was put out by my go-to Michigan sports blog MGoBlog. The discussion is limited to QBs on Michigan's schedule, and the author, Alex Drain...

    Anonymous Players and Staff make unsubstantiated allegations

    I'm a Michigan fan so no dog in this fight. I'm also a retired college professor with a PhD. As far as using Doctor as a form of address, outside of academia, I almost never use it. The ones who insist on using it outside of academia are mostly asshats who are full of themselves. This former...
