UMFan83

UMFan what happened? I had them in the FF, thought they were clearly the best team in the West, did not think they'd have much trouble advancing. Guess TT' defense was a big factor along with an off shooting night. Texas Tech is playing great basketball for about the last 6 weeks. Well they've been good all year but are on another level lately. Barttorvik.com shows that they have played like the 2nd best team in basketball since mid-February (michigan was 1 whoops). They were the one team I was really worried about in their bracket. I think their defensive system of keeping the middle clear was a horrible matchup for Michigan and they played right into their hands. It doesn't help that they had a horrific shooting night even when they got open looks and that the defense didn't play up to par in the 2nd half. Michigan with the right matchups could have won the title but I think most Michigan fans had concern that a game like this was going to pop up at the wrong time. The offense has been average (relative to other top 10 teams) but has had long periods in games where they've struggled to score. They had one of those games at the wrong time against the best or 2nd best defense in college basketball. Michigan should return everyone relevant from this year's team save probably Charles Matthews and will be adding a top 50 SF to replace him that can shoot probably better than everyone on the current team and create his own offense. Barttorvik (using this site again its great), they are projecting Michigan to be the number 1 team in CBB next year.

I'm okay going all meatbally on this and say that a mid-season trade for a draft pick is a locker room killer. If you held onto him it was to keep him all season and maybe get the 2021 draft comp. Wish it would have been for more, but that probably wasn't realistic. Well then in my opinion you keep him then. But what do I know?

Holy horsefeathers. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to hold onto him and see if we can get more for him at the deadline? I know NFL deadlines aren’t as big as other sports but you certainly aren’t going to get anything worse than a 6th by holding onto him

If you go back to the last spring games, the Cubs have scored 55 runs over their last 4 games. 24, 3, 16 and now 12. If we can average 10+ runs a game I think we’ll be alright.

Happy opening day everybody!

I want this clip played on repeat at my funeral

two thirds of this board are morons then which seems....low

Somewhere in Queens, Chili is weeping

Javy is a good sports player

Bryants warning track shot in the 1st looked like it was a HR to me and Javy's looked like a flyout.

Javy is a horsefeathering gem

at least Bryce is 0-2

Dallas Keuchel is still out there!

at least we got a few great years out of him

Schwarber could have done that

JHey fixed

Cubs offense picking up where they left off

Javy asking for his own swing call from 1B ump count: 1

Love the added image of Bryzzo on the video board. Not a big fan of Schwarber not being trusted against a lefty in an AL park. I'd like see him get chances to improve there this year.

Imagine going into the season with this starting lineup: [tweet] [/tweet]

Think its just the weather. This is the second year in a row where we've had a 3 city road trip before our home opener. I think even the Sox are on the road for 2 series before their home opener at the end of next week.

It sounds like they are having a super secret real wedding with their closest friends and family and then some crappy ceremony for everyone else at an undesirable time to keep the attendance low and they can still collect gifts from the people that are sending their regrets.

Isn't that what the DVR is for? i cant do sports on DVR. It's not a big deal, just 1/162. It's just my selfish preference to have the game start either earlier or later.

3:05 is the worst time for an opening day game to start. Either make the game at a time where the game can be completed during work hours or at night so I can watch the entirety at home.

dumb question, but when was Kyle due to be a FA? 2021?
