U of M thread (in the Lions Forum) :)

I've seen a couple of projections for the Sugar vs. Houston if M beats OlieO

I don't get why all of East Lansing is expecting a loss to Wisconsin.

I'm not expecting a loss or anything but I' sure the mindset of a lot of people is that the Spartans played about as well as they could in that first game and needed a lot of breaks to win and they were at home. It's a toss up matchup.

[whodean]

The Spartans are playing very very well right now, I would not be surprised if they beat Wisky again.

It would be great to have both Michigan teams in the BCS

State can play better than they did in the first Bucky game.

[froot loops]

I guess, I don't see it though.

[NewOrleansLion]

They were awful early and late. Blown coverages. I think the O line has improved. It's all on Cousins. He doesn't have a track record of playing up to big games. We'll see.

What are the chances Penn State wins in Wisconsin?

The Big 10 is so awful this year, I'm not sure how good any of these teams are, Including Michigan.

#15 Michigan vs #8 Memphis in Hawaii today at 3PM on ESPN2.

We get Tennessee or #6 Duke tomorrow.

I have no idea what to expect from the hoops team this year. I just hope we make the tourny again.

[Kstat]

There's more than enough talent to get back. They lost nobody aside from Morris.

Trey Burke is the major question mark. If he can develop fast, they can stay in the top-25 all year. If not, they are probably where they were last year, as a 9-10 seed.

Today's game is going to be a major swing game for them.

I have no idea what to expect from the hoops team this year. I just hope we make the tourny again.

Early season hoops rankings are even less accurate than early season football rankings. Will be fun to see it all shake out though.

[Kstat]

True enough, but at least on paper, U-M is right there at the top of the big 10 with Indiana and Ohio State.

[Kstat]

man, this team is fun to watch. Even without Morris they pass the ball extremely well.

Trey Burke is going to be really good.

[Kstat]

I have no idea who our backup PG is, but he looks like he weighs 250 lbs.

[Kstat]

Trey Burke has 9 points at halftime going against a future NBA player in Joe Jackson.

He just rejected him at the rim (clean block) at the halftime buzzer and Joe Jackson just tried to fight him. Wow.

Michigan up 6 at halftime.

[Kstat]

Memphis's coach was quoted as saying "Michigan can't hit enough twos to beat us."

Well, 3/4 of the way through the game, michigan is up 11 and shooting %76 inside the arc.
