    RJBO should be happy the Lions made it to Sunday Night Football

    The only reason to follow Jay Bilas on Twitter is for his Bill Raftery one liners.

    Scuffle at midcourt as the teams head to the locker room. Novak was woofing in some Memphis guy's face. Michigan up by 6.

    Anyone else ever get the feeling the ESPN3.com halftimes were all recorded one day in August?

    This game has everything I hate about Memphis. They're trying to playground this game.

    This might be the first time Michigan is better than Sparty since what? The Fab Five days? Where's RJBO to throw cold water on us?

    I bet RJBO already has 3 pairs of these socks Michigan is sporting.

    @Keith Maybe the Maurice Taylor/Lewis Bullock/Tractor Traylor teams of the late 90's? I'm reserving judgment until they play Duke (probably) tomorrow night.

    What is expected of Georgetown this year? Should I watch that KU/Georgetown game?

    Georgetown could be decent by the end of the year, but right now it's Jason Clark and a bunch of freshmen. Kansas should be able to handle them.

    An impressive Michigan victory versus a Top-10 team, Verlander getting the MVP and Lions-Saints on SNF? "Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows everywhere----" Wrong tape.

    Memphis had no business taking as many 3s as Michigan.

    Dukies cannot put away the Vols. Still only a 4-8 working margin under 10:00 to go.

    He's great! Especially now after this blood transfusion. They do this every other month and it perks him right up. Also this is the last time he has to get chemo every 90 days. Now he has to get chemo every 6 months for like another year and then he should be in full recovery.

    Duke wins 77-67.
    Dukies and Wolverines tomorrow. Nantz will have his favorite bottle of wine and Michigan Webber jersey he'll cut up throughout the game handy for that one.

    Nice little surge out of a lifeless-early ND squad against Missou-rah. I need this game to be close so I can bypass most of the Tom Brady Tongue Bath that starts at 5:30.

    The Rangers sign Joe Nathan, moving Neftali Feliz to the starting rotation. Better than signing Frank Francisco to close.

    Chiefs settle for a 26 yard FG after getting inside the Pats' 10. 3-0 KC.

    We started playing basketball in my gym course (yeah I've got to take a gym course in college; don't ask why) and every time someone hit the rim, I thought of Tim Brando. What you people have done to me is a terrilbe thing.
