Every starter from Michigan Wolverines Natl runner-up team drafted

By

The 2013 Michigan Wolverines accomplished a pretty amazing feat. All five starters from the unit that lost to Louisville in the 2013 National Title game has now been drafted.

Of course, it happens at … [Read more...] about Every starter from Michigan Wolverines Natl runner-up team drafted

Get ready for more futuristic, throw backs to the past, and just plain old UGLY threads to grace the stage on … [Read more...] about Five Worst NBA Draft Night Suits (Photos)

Michigan’s Nik Stauskas: top ten pick on Draft night?

By

Michigan star Nik Stauskas went from totally obscure to Big Ten Player of the Year and lottery lock in just one year. It looks like the former Wolverines star with the scorching hot girlfriend that the internet is creepily obsessed with (but hey, we have a couple gratuitous pics of Taylor Anderson here for you in this post....you knew we would) could end up in the top ten on … [Read more...] about Michigan’s Nik Stauskas: top ten pick on Draft night?

Michigan’s Taylor Lewan: 2nd overall NFL Draft to the St. Louis Rams?

By

Former Michigan Offensive Tackle Taylor Lewan may end up as the #2 overall pick in this year's draft. Which is shocking when you consider: 1.) how terrible the Michigan offensive line was, and how bad the offense was in general, 2.) the overall reputation of Big Ten football right now and 3.) Taylor Lewan's peripheral connection to the Brendan Gibbons rape case. And the assault … [Read more...] about Michigan’s Taylor Lewan: 2nd overall NFL Draft to the St. Louis Rams?

Mitch McGary declares for the NBA; makes sense given marijuana thing

By

I guess Mitch McGary, his agent and his handlers did the right thing. Surely, this is not the best of circumstances for the young Michigan Wolverines Center to leave school early for "league." Mitch McGary missed pretty much his entire sophomore season due to injury, so he really would have best been served by staying for his junior year at Ann Arbor. Then, he failed a NCAA … [Read more...] about Mitch McGary declares for the NBA; makes sense given marijuana thing

Jalen Rose says Tom Izzo to the Detroit Pistons, why he’s wrong

By

Jalen Rose isn't the only media member claiming the Detroit Pistons are going to make a move for Tom Izzo. However, he's the only name brand pundit doing so. Is he right? Probably not! Why is he saying it? Because it's silly season and these types of stories move the needle.

Warning: I will not be responsible if you copy this bracket and are out of your NCAA Tournament pool by Sunday.  However, if you do listen to my college basketball wisdom and win some money, I want 20% of the pot or at least a shout-out on your twitter or facebook page.
