    God [expletive] dammit if the game isnt going to start until 12:30 then don't advertise it as starting at 12. Rushed to get home by noon only to be treated to commercials, Billy Idol and a really long introduction

    Rose said in the post game that he is not going to stop shooting 3s if the defense is giving it to him. Tonight the Nets dared Rose to shoot 3s and he did. Such a frustrating basketball player. I want to still like him and I definitely still support him but I can't believe how much he has fallen in my eye since 2011. With all the scoring we have right now id almost rather have a rondo type PG

    I don't have the numbers but it seems like he had 2-3 games where he shot well and started attacking and then went cold and settled for 3s galore again. I'm sorry a 26% 3 point shooter should not be shooting 5-7 3's a game. If he isn't able to get to the basket or conserving himself or something, then just don't [expletive] shoot 3s. Be a distributor. You have an MVP candidate playing next to you, find ways to get him shots.

    And now I look dumb Not the first time, definitely not the last time

    There's still PSU, Nebraska, Purdue, NW and Rutgers to beat up on. You think Michigan's had it rough, check on what Nebraska's been through. Plus, this game's not exactly over yet either. Still not thrilled that Illinois doesn't have any home games against Wisconsin, OSU, Iowa or Minnesota this year. MSU and Michigan are the only "marquee" home games they'll have this year. I know I know, I am "politely overreacting" right now. I'm more frustrated in general at the direction of the program not being able to keep the momentum from the last 3 years going on the recruiting trail. But we have the right coach to maximize lesser talented players so I guess its not the end of the world.

    I definitely shouldn't complain because the last 2 years have ended in the championship game and elite 8, and also because its Jim Harbaugh day, but did Michigan have to immediately go from contender to bottom 4 in the Big Ten? OK maybe that's extreme because I believe in Beilein's ability to make this team better as the year goes on, but it's not like there is a lot of talent coming in next year...there's absolutely no talent coming in unless Jaylen Brown somehow comes to Ann Arbor. What you see on the court right now is what UM will have next year most likely.

    If Michigan cant even win the Harbaugh game, we're in trouble

    Apparently in Trestman's book, he has a glowing endorsement from.....................................................................................Ernie Accorsi

    You missed a really good game. I made it the first two periods, and same thing. Saw the Facebook photo and did a double take, though it was just 4-3 when I crashed. Will keep an eye on the STL-NSH game tonight. Both teams played last night, so probably not a fair representation of the competition. But still, should be a good game. Never been happier to have Nashville with a decent, offensive-minded coach. Sure they are a tougher team to beat, but at least those six games aren't a total snooze. 4 games, not 6. I thought the same thing, but apparently the Hawks have already finished playing Nashville this year. Hawks went 3-1-0 against them, Nashville went 1-1-2 against the Hawks.

    Thank God. No one gets [expletive] Epix, now I can DVR it

    As a Cowboys fan, I say thanks. I have appreciated Marinelli on the Cowboys. :shock: :shock:

    Power ranking alert! I found it cool that the Bulls and Blackhawks were both number 1 in ESPNs respective power rankings today. Might we see a repeat of 1992 with the SC Final and NBA Finals both at the UC?
  16. UMFan83
    George needlessly talking up Trestman and Emery, saying Halas Hall is a better place because of them. Ultimately we didnt win enough games. Time to move forward with new leadership. Search for new GM and HC underway, talked to a bunch of people we respect, hired Ernie Accorsi as a consultant. Accorsi is former GM of the NY Giants Looks like nothing has changed with regards to Ted Phillips.
  17. UMFan83
    Wonder if George is making a point by starting his press conference early (not really but its nice to see)
  18. UMFan83
    Is it odd that there have been no reports confirming that Mel Tucker is fired? I mean I'm not worried about whether its going to happen, its just strange because his fellow coordinator got the public axe. I guess maybe it was a foregone conclusion so no need to report?

    The only thing that worries me about Marshall's behavior is the effect it has on his teammates. Marshall was supposed to be a veteran leader on this team, and I think best case he had a neutral effect on his teammates. -The Bears win a big game against SF, and Marshall is more focused on making a long, unecessary rant in a public press conference about something that happened 4 years ago. -Marshall is heard yelling at the [expletive] kicker after a tough loss, and later calls out his supposed best buddy Cutler -The most embarassing moment of the Bears season is the whole Kromer situation. Instead of defending a teammate and friend he says that he probably would have buyers remorse too. (note that what he said is perfectly defensable and was probably taken out of context, but its still an odd thing to say as a team leader) I don't even think this latest outburst, or the Showtime show, or the challenging the fan to a fight on twitter matter, but they are examples of increasingly erratic behavior. All that said, I think Marshall is fine next year as long as we have strong leadership. Edit: [expletive] I missed the part where we all decided to move past this argument.

    I'm probably just trying to make excuses at this point but its possible he is working on a new swing/approach as prescribed by the Cubs, thus making his results less important than him getting comfortable with the new approach. Then again, the last time the Cubs tried to change an impatient hitter's approach we wasted 2 years of Castro's career and drove him to attempted murder.
  21. UMFan83
    I could really see whoever the GM is moving on from Marshall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk This is such a random and unnecessary outburst by Marshall. He basically just threatened to fight Carmen, but won't because he will lose his contract and get sued.
  22. UMFan83
    Brandon Marshall is going off on his weekly show on ESPN 1000. I think its Carmen and Jurko interviewing him. Marshall called Carmen a clown and said he shouldn't be on the radio. It's getting heated.

    Figured it doesn't make sense to create a new thread every week so this is the thread for the entire NFL playoffs because I said so.

    Schefter went to Michigan, I highly doubt he's rooting for Harbaugh to not go there. I am not sure...he's been on the "protect the shield" brigade of reporters brushing off all Harbaugh back to college rumors until pretty much yesterday. I'm sure he likes Michigan but he loves the NFL even more. The rumors are Harbaugh actually accepted the job a week ago and some reporters are still pretending that there is a chance he doesn't go to UM. Of course all that tweet really means is that he called up the Bears, Jets and Raiders and asked if they would be going after Harbaugh if available.
