U of M MEN'S BASKETBALL 2016-2017

[Hannibal]

Geez, people, be nice.

[The Oracle]

So.. are any of you planning on traveling to KC to watch the game in person?

I've done my part these past few weeks. Someone else can go to that dump.

Thank you for your service.

[Kstat]

If K-Stat is anything at all remotely like his internet persona -- he absolutely has to be the most unbearable, miserable douche bag on this entire fucking planet.

Thinking you know anyone personally through an internet message board is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever read. Par for the course with you, though. You're....not smart. About as kind as I can put it..

Go back to telling everyone how Nebraska is going to crush us now. Your current streak of being wrong about this team is so impressive I'm starting to wonder if you're doing it on purpose.

Kstat once went to a Tigers forum game that I was apart of. Despite seats being open around the group (and this was in 2005 I think), and his seat being a few rows higher, he refused to sit with us because where he was was "his seat.".

I refused to sit with you because I wanted to watch the game and frankly you didn't look like good company.

What I find odd is ten years later you're still bitter I didn't want to sit with you... all I said was I would prefer to stay where I was and not have to wipe another puddle of rain off of another seat.

I see transference at work here. I merely stated a fact, and you are getting all upset about it.

No, you brought up one day over ten years ago where I offended you by sitting in a seat. You don't find that a bit weird? Let it go dude.

[CGVT]

Well, that exchange pretty much proved Niffla's point.

What a miserable fuckstick.

[Kstat]

Yep. I wanted to sit down. In a seat. What a damming piece of evidence!

Out of curiosity, what's your personal obsession with me? I don't talk about you yet for some reason you can't keep my name out of your mouth...

[CGVT]

My obsession with you? Ha!

You are just a miserable prick that brings down every conversation that you are involved in. You post in a passive aggressive, unwarranted condescending style.

And to top it off you have probably never held a ball in you hand in your life.

Yep. You nailed it little keyboard warrior. Your powers of observation are amazing.

Did anyone ever tell you about the tale of the pot and the kettle?

[Pasadena Blue]

almost afraid to post this with the Beilein - M Basketball lovefest going on here, but I am not giving Beilein a pass for the substandard recruiter that he is. Once I saw the minimum bump that Beilein got after getting to the national championship game, it was pretty obvious that M was going to face a hard ceiling for where this program could go.

Someone who is obviously a good x/o's coach and a good developer of talent, should do better than the middling 4*'s and 3*'s that he is pulling in. Sure, he has a reasonably good eye for ascendent players and does develop his players ... but I don't think he should be given a pass for how this has translated to substandard recruiting.
With his track record of turning 3*'s into NBA picks, he should be bringing in 5*'s on a regular basis now.... but they have no interest in playing for him.

Sure we are a hot team on a run this year, and we could even win it all (unlikely), but most years we are going to have no shot.

Sorry if my expectations are higher than most here. I am not calling for Beilein to be fired (which seems to be the sarcastic extreme position some are claiming is being taken here), but I don't see why he can't be held accountable for being a so-so recruiter and be asked to actually improve in this area. Enjoy the koolaid.

lmao what a dork

it's amazing...that's exactly what I'd expect from him though

[Jeff Buchanan]

Niffla and Whitley ....... please take your personal disagreement elsewhere.
