Its Been a While Vol. 2

Between my brother Ryan pointing out it has been a while and my lack of interest in reading/writing for classes, time for a post...

I will admit that my internet social networking/writing has been more focused on Twitter as of late. But, nonetheless, write I shall.

There is so much to write about, so I will try to spread it out over the next few days. That, and topics that have been beat to death will be barely touched on. So...Topic Number 1...

The Big Chill

Probably the most fun I have had at a sporting event in a long time. "The Big Chill" pitted the University of Michigan Hockey Team against Michigan State in front of 113,411 people at Michigan Stadium. A whole Wikipedia article can be found here...

I just wanted to say how much fun that game was. I unfortunately had to do back-to-back all nighters because of it. But you know what? It was totally worth it. The atmosphere was amazing. The game was awesome (whenever Michigan wins it is awesome). And, to be frank, I don't think there was a moment throughout the game where I wasn't smiling. It was just an absolute blast and I enjoyed hearing Athletic Director Dave Brandon mention the idea of having a game like that every four years or so. Now if only we could get the Wings to come play in the Big House...

GATOR BOWL

Michigan went up against Mississippi State on New Years Day in Jacksonville. Only one team showed up to play. Final Score: Mississippi State - 52 Michigan - 14 Bye Bye Rich Rod.

I think what made me the most mad about this game was you could clearly tell Rich Rod just gave up. His facial expressions. His decisions throughout the game. I just really don't feel like ranting forever. So...on another note...

BRADY HOKE!

Brady Hoke was named the successor to Rich Rodriguez about a week after Coach Rodriguez was fired. After previously coaching at San Diego State and Ball State, he returns to Ann Arbor, where he coached under Lloyd Carr and Gary Moeller. While he wasn't my first choice, I think he was the best option. Obviously I would have loved to get Jim Harbaugh, but that was not an option. Coach Hoke is a former coach who knows the Midwest, the Big 10, and Michigan Football. WELCOME COACH HOKE!

Michigan Basketball

I've only been to one game this year, but I have watched most of them on television at the very least. And, I am just going to list off a few thoughts that come to mind with this team.

1. Young
2. Live and Die by the 3
3. Evan Smotrycz needs to go by "Mr. Smots"
4. Black McLimans is McLiman in your window
5. Tim Hardaway Jr. is getting better, still not great
6. Darius Morris is good, but needs to pass the freaking ball
7. If you don't think John Beilein is a good coach, you don't know basketball.
8. They're good, but just can't finish
9. See number 1
10. Thursday is going to be rough...

Until next time...

I am really going to try and write more. It would probably help considering I am an English Major and all. I think with the next post I'll focus on the pros some. And I'm gonna do a music post soon...its been a while. Until then...

Cheers,

Kevin
