​Here's what happened this weekend (and Monday) across the internets while you spent some quality time with John Beilein...

  • ​Touch the Banner makes a quick list of Wolverine NFL free agents.  The Lions should pick up all of them...if they'd like me to be a fan that is.
  • The Fighting Burke's put away the Illini with a strong second half at the Center.  ESPN Recap  | ​ Maize and Go Blue Recap 
  • MGoBlog reports D-Line coach Jerry Montgomery has left Michigan for Oklahoma.  Fairly certain Brady coaches the D-Line...but his recruiting prowess will apparently be what we miss.  ​
  • As a football streaker that hasn't missed a game since mid-'99, I can't even fathom the dedication (and ridiculous cost) of attending every home and away basketball game for 39 years.  AnnArbor.com covers a woman that has done just that.​
  • Hockey #BeatOhio in Columbus on Friday, and completed the sweep on Saturday.​  Amazing that it was just their 2nd and 3rd road wins of the entire season.
  • Maize and Blue nation reminds us that Denard is fast.  Still convinced that he's not made for the next level, but ya...fast. ​ ESPN covers some other Big Ten combine numbers.
  • Ohio beat little brother in hoops ​on Sunday, daring us to hold serve and hope for another Indiana loss to get at least a piece of that Big Ten title.
  • BHGP reports on the difficulty of being a Hawkeye these days.​
  • Eleven Warriors pleads "A Student's Case Against Noon Games" and I'm all for it.  Can't make breakfast AND lunch at the tailgate with a noon kick.​
  • ​ESPN reports on a member of the 2017 recruiting class...a child that has two offers from the SEC.  Tom Brady's new contract will just about be expiring then.

I neglected to reference the fact that women's hoops beat Sparty on Sunday...my apologies to the title nine set.  And beating Sparty is beating Sparty, I don't care if it's a football game, a canned-goods collecting event, or a three-legged race.​

Today (2/22):​

  • Baseball (0-3) vs. Fordham (0-0) in Port St. Lucie, FL:  Heartbreakers abound for baseball last weekend.  Michigan lost all three games by one run...the first two were extra innings walk-offs, and the third a walk-off in the 9th.  Wow.  Sucks.  They head to Florida to face Fordham for their  season opener.  2pm
  • ​Hockey (10-18-2 / 7-15-2) at Ohio (13-12-7 / 12-7-5):  Weekend off last week for Michigan, who is probably still reeling from the 13 goals they gave up in two games to Manti T'eo's boys.  Puck drops at 6:35pm on BTN.

Tomorrow (2/23):​

    • Baseball vs. Fordham in Port St. Lucie, FL:  See above.  Old-fashioned double-header starts at 11am.
    • ​Hockey at Ohio: See above.  Puck drops at 7pm on Comcast Sports.

    Sunday (2/24):​

    • ​Basketball (22-4 / 9-4) at Illinois (20-8 / 7-7):  Michigan returns to action after a full week off, so I think it's finally time to put that Sparty game from the week before behind us.  And I think we're going to need all that we've got to get past the Illini in Champaign.  Tipoff is 1pm on ESPN.
    • Women's Basketball (19-7 / 8-5) at #7 Penn State ​(22-3 / 12-1):  SIMULTANEOUS TIPOFF ALERT!!!  What will you do?  1pm on BTN.
