In reply to Kyl470. He'll be too old for a pro career when he graduates from UM. Isn't he the oldest sophomore in D1 athletics? The guy is 26 or so.

What??? Nothing to dislike??? Maybe except for all the Indiana kids they’ve been poaching from our back yard…. put those teams together and you get an ALL B1G Indiana team…sheeeesh…… I hate it.

When Little Dog falls into his funk again this year, who is going to coax him out of the corner to participate in the offense? He’s the reason Michigan didn’t win the B1G last year, and he is highly overrated.

In reply to And_One. Anything does go, like berating the other team's assistant coach on their home floor after a win. Come to think of it, UM does have a reason or two to not like IU very much...

In reply to Chris. I don't see Michigan making a Final Four run, but I think they will be a top 3 team in the Big Ten.

In reply to SCHoosier. I know some pro team will draft McGary, but he seems like your classic college basketball player turned NFL tight end.

In reply to BT. I didn't have much ill will toward U of M, but I moved to Michigan a couple of years ago and a small amount has developed after they made it to the Final Four.

In reply to BT.

Used by scuMSUcker fans, you mean? Couldn’t resist. But, yeah, neither that nor scUM has any emotion behind it. Decent, well-run programs, worthy of our respect, blah blah blah… Except during the two hours when the actual game is going on–then anything goes.

I think it is gonna take a while for them to find someone to take over to fill in the leadership role Burke had. I say top 10, but we will see.

Why is it whenever I see a picture of McGary, the first thing that comes isn’t about how smart he is? He looks like someone who hit his head on a brick wall one too many times. Just my opinion.

In reply to IUfanPurduePhD.

“scUM” is used mostly by MSU fans for obvious reasons. I don’t see why Hoosier Nation needs to have any sort of disdain for Michigan. It’s been a good, clean rivalry. Now Wisconsin on the other hand…

In reply to WhatsUpKnight.

Ha, “scUM” — hadn’t heard that one. I’m not sure if it carries the vitriol of “pUKe” or the playfulness of “BoilerWanker” (a term I came up with myself), but I like it.

can’t wait to see mcgary vs. vonleh. goes without saying i’m glad he’s packed on some muscle. you know scUM’s gonna be out for revenge after we smacked em around a couple times last year, should be some intense games

In reply to Chris. Spike Albrecht is good.

In reply to Chris. I whole-heartedly agree. Burke was what made that team go and Hardaway helped. The rest are a nice collection of players, but I don't buy them as a top 10 team until I see it.

Both McGary and G Rob are from The Region. As is Spike. CTC should start hitting Northwest Indiana a bit harder. Lots of good ballers up there.
