I honestly can't figure out if I'm more excited for the rest of the football season or the beginning of basketball season. I'm seeing U-M top 15 in most preseason polls. With legit studs like Manny and DeShawn, combined with shooters everywhere and a few bigs, it should be a good year for the maize and blue.

Check out Zack Novak winning the dunk contest at "Michigan Madness". That's right, Zack Novak won the dunk contest.....and he deserved it.

UM basketball should be pretty competitive this year, perhaps third in the Big Ten. However, when Zack Novak wins the dunk contest, it might make one question the overall athleticism of the team.

I agree with this statement.

Also, Novak is one funny looking dude. He looks like an unathletic 6th grader.

uh, not worried at all about athleticism. its all about shooterr, and we'll have enough this year.

im geeked too. manhair, simms. i want to see this vogrich fuck. im predicting a much less interesting season (how could it not be?) but atleast a sweet 16 birth.

When bukdow's not in jackass mode, I actually find myself agreeing with him quite a bit. Of course, I much prefer being entertained than being
agreeable.

Did you watch the video? I know he looks like a clown, but wow. Dude is tough (played PF for most of the year last year) and can stroke the 3.

I saw the video - I was just commenting on his appearance. I thought he was great last year. He is just an extremely unique looking person.

The dunk was cool - I was thinking Manny should be able to beat that, though.

Who figures to get the majority of the minutes at the big positions? Zack Gibson did fine last year in small doses, but teams that had a big center (Tisdale on Illinois comes to mind) just completely owned us.

Will Cronin be a rotational player?

That's really disrespectful to the basketball season.

Ben Cronin runs like an injured buffalo.

I know, but all is forgiven if he can rebound.

I think I've found my answer.

Richie Rod coulda gave you that answer before the recent loss. I was at meijer waiting in line to pay for some late night shopping, and dude behind me had on a West Virginia sweater. I immediately said "man, do you want your coach back?". He responded with laughter and "no thanks". :(

When's the first televised UM bball game?

I hope UM Basketball > UM Football/Pistons/Baseball this year.

I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm tired of my hopes being destroyed by the hands of my favorite teams. I'm going to be more like LeBron and cheer for nothing but frontrunners so I feel better about myself.

Anyone watch the game today? They didn't play particularly well and still had enough to beat a gritty Creighton team. Fun game to watch...

I caught the last 10 minutes and the OT. This team has played 2 games in like two weeks. They're just not in any kind of rhythm yet.

I will say that if Manny Harris is ready for the NBA, then the NBA has slipped.

Lost.

Defense might be a problem this season.

Fire Him?

No? Okay, just checking.

Unless Beilein decides to rape and murder half of the team, I don't see any way they could fire this guy for the next decade or so. After over a decade of irrellevance, he got the team in the tournament and ranked.

It's all about expectations.

Fire him, that motherfucker!!!! He has ruined the traditional power known as Michigan Basketball. I heard rumors that he rapes and murders players and recruits! Michigan cannot stand for this.

FIRE HIM.

Lookin' good!

Playing the #1 team in the country on national TV.

Is this good or bad?

Wow, Kansas has never beaten UM.

"The Green Game", huh?

Wow.

They seem, I don't know, unmotivated?

I know that's not possible, though.

^^^Insensitive!^^^

Nope.
