Man, what is it about Michigan vs. Wisconsin AND COMEBACK GAMES???!!!! For those of you that might not know what I am talking about I am referring to Michigan being down HUGELY to Wisconsin (and what seems like an insurmountable deficit in the 2nd half) obviously in regards to yesterday’s Football game against Wisconsin @Home (being down 19 points to Wisconsin to start the 2nd half) but also to a Michigan vs. Wisconsin Basketball game @Home (like this Football game yesterday that 2003 Home Basketball game was also the BigTen Home Opener for both teams as well) in 2003 where we were down by as many as 16 points in the 2nd half (as late into the half as the 11:00 minute mark) and then Lavell Blanchard started to catch fire from 3-point land and Daniel Horton made some game-saving clutch plays on both the Offensive and Defensive ends to preserve the win (i.e. a key strip against Devin Harris I believe [if not him then it was Alando Tucker] and then hit a tear-drop floater). It was Bo Ryan’s 2nd season as Wisconsin’s Head Coach. By the way, I saw yesterday as I was walking to my Gate (that I was supposed to enter) Chris Hunter AND Daniel Horton at yesterday’s game against Wisconsin. I said hi to both of them. Dylan or anybody else . . . does anyone know what other former Michigan Men’s Basketball players were at the game yesterday??? Dylan, could you create a thread topic about this and/or the Basketball Recruits (talked to Nate Lubick and Austin Carrol along with Steve W.) and the impact of the game (obviously the stirring comeback and/or whether or not they left after Halftime — hopefuly they stayed, though ;.) ). Anyways that’s all I have to say. Peace.

I can’t completely take it back because although the bottom line is an emotional victory that hopefully “gets em goin” but there is far to many mistakes being made and those have to be corrected…im glad my comment instantly jinxed wisconsin though….
ps. still can’t wait for bball season!

At the time of BL11′s posting…everyone in the Michigan nation was agreeing with him.

In retrospect, he should take it back ;)

That game was awesome- I am still celebrating! :)

I personally like the way Lubick has handled his recruitment. Some kids feel the pressure to commit and it ends up meaning almost nothing. I think we will all see that by the holiday season UofM bball will have 2 new “big time” recruits on board. This weekend will play a large part in that.
