I stayed up late to get this one right, figuring there would be more morning readers who wondered what happened than people looking for a recap after 11. Short version: Hoiberg put on a coaching clinic, May put out a basketball team. mgoblog.com/content/mich...

my mom just yelled RB mesh traffic im so proud of her

A great Canadian professor named Bob Altemeyer studied the psychology of authoritarians in the 2000s. His book is free to download for Kindle/whatever here: theauthoritarians.org HIGHLY recommend to those who want to understand what's going on/how to counter it. Good writer too.

Trying to make the shot type charts more elegant on my preview graphics. Does this make intuitive sense?

got fully in my feelings about Indiana winning the national championship, the greatest story in college football history. If Indiana can do it, we can do it

You get the slide, get skinny.

Michigan is absolutely killing it in Vibes management this month.

I love watching replays from Bad angles trying to figure out if the ball had an atom in the cylinder so we get to see the foul they didn't call on the original shot again and again.

They're putting Connor Enright on Mara. I imagine they're spending this break on the bench letting Aday know this fact.

According to AI I've officially coined an athlete's nickname.

now we are calling roughing the passer

I like Mendoza. He's a person who takes Reach for Your Goals posters at face value.

gee i wonder what the play is

I broke my rules to put the OREB flair on BQD

Denethor gave in to despair after doomscrolling on the palantir for years. Don't be like Denethor.

Been trying to find a way to talk about this for days, as if I could add any more context than the obvious. Same target (even the same part of the building) as 1967, same kind of person, same ideas, but instead of a KKK membership card it's faith-based maxxing. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/13/o...

They knock the net off its moorings.

How many steps was that? At least six

Duke and Ohio State is an elite flopping education.

Oregon has a McPoyle!

Eh, most contemporaries called them something that meant "borderlanders" or "savages" in a language that wasn't theirs, or confused them for some completely different barbarians, and it stuck because y'all wanted to be some corporate mouthful like United Federation of the People of the Frothy River.

Outshooting your opponent by 30+ is one way to break in a freshman goalie on the road.

Our traffic is still majority direct but this is a little annoying, especially because our most likely Google hit is a search that includes "mgoblog" in it.

Basketball and bookies, two worlds that are amazing at nicknames, collide. www.justice.gov/usao-edny/pr...

We hear you Michigan fans! It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine.

It was driving me nuts who JJ Mandaquit looks like it's Joe Lo Truglio from The State!

Does Steinbach know how to set a screen or does he just put his hands out and shove guys as they go by?

There's basketball tonight. Here's the preview: mgoblog.com/content/hoop...

I always played in a ravine behind the auto dealers at 12 and Telegraph as a kid. Mine like to visit a creek in the woods behind our house at 14 & Northwestern. They're all considered pieces of the River Rouge.

really?

First time in the Dusty era that Michigan had more other 2s than their opponent in a half?

Relevant to sports, where a lot of the new model was tested. Focus has shifted to fewer fans paying a lot more to be there/watch. Been pushing middle class fans to communal (eg bars) spaces where there's a lot of sans cullotte-ish talk about how expensive tickets and streaming services are.

National halftime adjustment: Stop being amazed that IU is this good and start being afraid IU is this good.

Penn State, which was total ass in both sports, nearly upset Indiana football and Michigan basketball this year.

Once again the NCAA should be incentivizing against transfers through the House cap. -Transfers count 1.2x against the cap (redshirts exempt). -Every year at your school your cap hit goes down 20% for that school. -If you graduate from one school in 4 years you won't count against any school's cap.

Happy 2026. www.youtube.com/live/SRrLhVo...

He's going to Medill!

Watching it again, Yax murdered the high ball screen Penn State was trying to run by pushing WAY out on Dilione

TBfF Dilione taking the absolute dumbfuckiest Dilione shot possible was exactly what I was afraid they'd do.

A law that conferences can't have any say in announcers so when the entire game is a ref show, we don't have doofuses insulting everyone's intelligence by claiming it's the loud road environment.

Donald Trump is trying to rewrite the history of Jan. 6 because, at a fundamental level, he does not believe in democracy or the Constitution www.gelliottmorris.com/p/pardon-my-...

I've been tracking attrition for years and one thing I've noticed over that time is yes, you do lose some guys to the transition year, but teams tend to lose even more guys the year after. It's super hard to keep a guy as a backup for a staff that didn't recruit him.

It's Jan. 2 and Indiana football and Nebraska basketball are both undefeated.
