    Game 31: Michigan State 79 Michigan 62 Final

    Unless the programs involved are Michigan and Michigan State and it was Michigan State that beat Michigan during the regular season and Michigan won the national championship.

    Game 31: Michigan State 79 Michigan 62 Final

    That win over OSU was as "meaningful" as they get. And M had no control over what happened after that.

    Game 31: Michigan State 79 Michigan 62 Final

    I can't speak for MC, but I can say that Michigan beating OSU in the regular season, in Columbus, and for the fourth consecutive season, more than compensates for OSU winning the D1 NCAA football tournament that was far less challenging than the regular season was. And I can say with assurance...

    Game 31: Michigan State 79 Michigan 62 Final

    I think the it's those phonemes emitted by those feral creatures. They just hit the ear wrong. What DOES a buckeye say?

    Game #64:Ottawa 2 Detroit 1 Final

    I knew that that idiotic and contrived 4 Nations tournament was an ill-timed hiatus from the NHL season for the Red Wings. The last thing that that particular group of men needed to do at that particular time of the season was to stop competing for two weeks.

    Game 31: Michigan State 79 Michigan 62 Final

    That scrum never got out of the "OH, YEAH?" phase. It's not even worthy of the title of "conflict." It's one notch above "I'M TELLING!" Do you recall the Minnesota-OSU basketball game of January 26, 1972? THAT was thuggery on the part of MInnesota. LINK (scroll down in the link to read the...

    Game 31: Michigan State 79 Michigan 62 Final

    I expect that this game was over before the opening tip-off. As for the "indecent" at half-court, I've been in far more violent fights in beer-league hockey games. Hell, I've been in more violent fights in my driveway as a 10-year-old defending the honor of my family.

    Congratulations to the MSU basketball team on a well-earned B1G Championship.

    2025 Tigers Spring Training

    I like the Fangraphs metric of wRC+ (weighted runs created). Similar index, to OPS+, where 100 is league average. Torkelson's 2024 wRC+ was 92, or 8% below league average. Fangraphs has his 2024 WAR at 0.1. 2025 protections are not much better (107 wRC+ and 0.4 WAR). As a first-round pick...

    Tiger Payroll Purgatory

    Since you appeared to imply (correctly) that this next CBA will be and already is especially contentious, and since Boros is looking for 10+ years, 40+ million a year for Skubal (spitballing here) and the owners want a salary cap because the Dodgers are spending money more recklessly than...

    Tiger Payroll Purgatory

    Bregman's replacement on the Astros, a former Tiger, is projected to have higher OBP, wOBA wRC+ and WAR than Bregman, and he makes $33.5 million less a season.

    Game 27: Michigan 49 Nebraska 46 Final

    Did they exchange secret handshakes at the end of the game?

    Game: 26 : MSU 75 @ Michigan 62 Final

    I've always been an admirer of MSU basketball back to the days of Mike Robinson, who would have loved the three-point line.

    Game: 26 : MSU 75 @ Michigan 62 Final

    Certainly not anymore, with players launching fade-away threes from Benzie County. (hyperbole intended).
