Make free throws.

Get rebounds.

Michigan just getting beaten by the basics right now.

LFG.

A really cool video if you are looking to learn more about what defines the Survey Research Center at ISR. โค๏ธ

Huge statement win for the Pistons, especially with Cade going 4-17. LFG!
Jaylen Brown missed a pull-up 14-footer, and the Pistons beat the Cs 104-103! Hot damn!

Utter nonsense
The stupidest part of this is going to be a coworker saying "oh, you still think Ben Johnson isn't gonna work out".

Yes, he totally called a fourth down play where Caleb sprints back 25 yards and heaves a prayer to the end zone.

This Bears team is one giant horseshoe up the ass.

Decided to take the kids to this game. They had lots of questions about hockey. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Had a little bit of everything (Iโ€™ve never seen a player get ejected before the puck dropped for a face-off!), but I do hope that Ivankovic is OK. Such a bush league play. ๐Ÿคฌ

Interesting study of the effectiveness of randomized incentives!
"Survey incentives can worsen bias! Randomized incentives help detect & account for nonresponse bias. Methods using both incentives & reminders outperform existing approaches."

Can someone explain to me, like Iโ€™m a first grader, WTH the point is of declaring that you are entering the transfer portal when you simply decide to return less than a week later? Is that really enough time to see what your market value is? Just seems nutty and pointless. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Absolutely bonkers run. And no signs whatsoever that any of it is a fluke. #HAIL

So watching this exhibition, which Michigan football players give you optimism for next year?

1. Andrew Marsh
2. Jake Guarnera

Uhhhhhโ€ฆ.

3. Bryce with a real QB coach?
4. A healthy Cole Sullivan with a real DC?

EOL?

Wink with his final double-bird to the Michigan fanbase. Scouted Eli, got Arch.

Bryce has a lot to work on this offseason.

Absolutely brutal tackling. Gotta believe that will improve under Whittingham.

This game needs more flags. More holding calls than the Michigan D has earned all season, but nothing so far to show for it. LFG!

Same. Letโ€™s get it done.
