Michigan

They are now a basketball school, apparently.  A fun early season measuring stick. I like MU's chances.

Michigan did a great job last Tuesday.

[tower912]

I enjoyed the job they did on Saturday almost as much.

I wonder how Keefe is coping.

Please no.

Shaka's teams at MU have tended to play well in these winnable early season games against other power conferences when he has had a decent roster.  Whether that is at home or away.  He has a good roster this year.  Michigan is beatable.  I think Marquette will surprise Michigan with their intensity on defense.  I think they will shoot well enough to win comfortably.  Go MU!

Michigan is evil and must be destroyed!

Given all the raping done by Michigan State athletes, I prefer our student athletes playing Michigan

Kind of an amusing thread on UMs paid 247 board where a fan claims to have flown our  team to Ypsilanti last night and joking about playing the "the victors" all flight.

Nigel needs to outplay Cadeau.  This is beyond a winnable game.  Handle the crowd early and punish them from all spots and angles on the floor.  The defensive intensity should be full throttle and cause Michigan headaches.  LFG!!

Not as ridiculously long as last season.   Michigan is projected to have one of the top backcourt in the country.   The new coach is deliberately playing down the 'defending national champion' trope, as this is a much different team with a different coaching staff.   If MU is able to play at Ann Arbor the way they played against MSU, I think MU wins. 
But, first regular season road trip is always a crapshoot.  Could just as easily get rolled.

Will be at the game. Very interested to see how we look. I think we're going to be a good team this year, but I don't like that they've already played another high level opponent and this is our first road game.

If they get rolled, someone should be fired

For those going early enough to wander Ann Arbor, Zingerman's deli is legendary.  And, if you feel the need to make it up to your wife for abandoning her, stock up at the Cherry Republic store downtown.

In my 1987-1991 Marquette tenure I can't count how many times I heard "I saw your school on the Weather Channel map!"

Their gummy bears are awesome. As are the sour balls (I have JB's attention now). Wife loves their cherry salsas.

Wife, parent in laws, and aunt/uncle in law will all be there rooting for Michigan.

You will all be wearing the same colors.

1) Nice one!

2) WUT? Please tell me your wife is an alumna of UM.

Don't be silly.

Michigan is maize and blue

Marquette is blue and gold

Completely different.

[wadesworld]

You will all be wearing the same colors.

I intentionally brought my championship blue today.

1) Nice one!

They have all lived in Ann Arbor since the 80s, and never had any connection to Marquette until meeting me.

Agreed Wades, my only reservation is that they have already played UConn and have a loss and won't want another on their home court.  Hopefully they will be looking past us.

Second this. Add on the fact that this is Michigan's first game since losing to UConn. They enter this game with a retaliatory mindset, and what better than against another Big East opponent. I don't expect a win, but it'll be all the more impressive if we do pull it off.

On another note, Michigan is getting a big dose of Big East this month. Their non-con schedule includes UConn, Marquette, Villanova, and Creighton, all of which are November games.

I still remember the corned beef on rye from Zingerman's, and I had it over 25 years ago!  Mmmmmmmmmmm

That game with UConn was in Boston.

Nigel activates his glutes, puts in 20+ points.
Fru's going to get a double double.
Josh Clark plays well, but struggles.
Adrian hits several three pointers.
Royce carves up the middle.
Ian leads the bench in EGBs.

MU by 3.
