Palmer from First Team All B1G to possibly Honorable Mention!

This is the way I feel after looking at the Half Time Stats:

@HoiBall That hit a nerve for someone who's been bashing Miles for the past 3 weeks?

 

I feel sorry for you if you’re enjoying watching this. Someone once told me this is a basketball board, stick to basketball.

 

I just figured you of all people would enjoy the sarcasm of how poorly this game is going.

[Dead Dog Alley]

At least Roby's gutless performance in the first half seems to have gotten a well deserved mercy killing.

wtf with the half page spam? 

 

I dunno; Ask @atskooc.  He's the one who quoted it (I had the decency to 'Delete'  my mis-post!  I've started Drinking dontjaknow  )

Wish Miles had the guts to do this earlier.  Some of these guys needed benching.

[Huskerpapa]

I appreciate the changes in the line up...play hard or sit and watch.  No problem at all.

Can't believe we reached a point this year that we had to find guys that give a sh*t. 

[Red Don]

Maybe they refused to go on the court to start the 2nd half?!

Never considered that possibility.  If so, I would have told them to turn in their uniforms!

[brfrad]

I agree with sitting them to start the 2nd half, but disagree keeping them on the bench for 8 minutes.  Maybe play the other guys until the 1st media timeout.

It was a joke (I think).

Not that it matters, but that wasn’t a shooting foul.

I don't think in the NBA it is a shooting foul.

The Michigan player undercut Akenten, stepped right under him, pushed his already airborne legs out from under him.

[huskerbaseball13]

Do some people still really think that if we keep Miles that next years team will be a 20 win team?

 

The only good thing about this is Miles has made it extremely easy and there should be absolute zero pushback when he gets his walking papers. 

[Huskerpapa]

We are playing better in the second half.  The bad news is that it wasn't going to take much to play better.  BUT, the good news is that a bit of heart is showing through.  I am still upset that they didn't show up to play the game.

this one's over. everyone knows it. i think it's part of the reason that players are so uninspired right now. coach has to have a job to play for, and they already know he doesn't. 

 

Tim's done pretty much no matter what (within the realm of reality for anyone but a couple of our dedicated contrarians).

You know, this just occurred to me: I wonder if Jim Harbaugh goes the basketball games? Ya think? Wouldn't that be something?

a lot of that is Michigan being absolutely bored by this whole affair. We're not even giving them a very good scrimmage. they can pretty much extend the lead at will and they know it. and so do we. 

 

make a few no-pressure shots here and there and once more we can close up a score and make the game look far better than it actually was.

He's a superfan, harbaugh. He'd always come to A's games when he was in the Bay area. We actually have a great relationship with Harbaugh in the A's fan community. He's a lot of fun.

Well you can check off announcers questioning team's heart on national television off the coach being fired check list.

If Michigan is a championship caliber team, which they are, they would not be bored.  We are quick to provide angst against the program, we need to be equally quick to acknowledge when we play better.

nana and tom don't appear to be on the bench.  hope they're ok
