So Michigan is not that great this year. But, they have a "brand" and the team can either get intimidated with all that neon yellow or come out firing and take it to them!

We have to play super high energy and play great perimeter D. Got to get this win!!! Don't let the brand name fool you. Pony Up! #tempo. #lockarms.

Studying up on Michigan it seems their strength and go to is the perimeter shot (the reason they've lost is because their shots have not been falling). I'm not too concerned about their bigs. Once again, it will be our perimeter D and offensive efficiency that wins the day (or not) . . .

smu sort of like an eastern michigan.
i guess that's a compliment in a sort of back-handed way.

I'm on board with this. Us Buckeyes enjoy when anybody beats TSUN.

If anybody has questions on scUM, I can tell you about their team. Caris Lavert and Zak Irvin are a load...the freshmen are starting to come on but they're still a very young team.

Not a compliment. Their writers are a bunch of arrogant [deleted]. Not that OSU writers aren't but theirs think they walk on water. They think scUM football is still relevant and that they'll stand up with a top 5 recruiting class this year. If MK is back, SMU is better than TSUN.

To be fair, Beilein said SMU is like EMU "with more talent"

John Beilein is one of the classiest coaches in college basketball. I've always liked him

My B, I didn't see it was a Beilein quote. In that case, I respect it. I like Beilein a lot, hell of a coach. Absolutely one of the best in the country. I think he's my favorite in-game coach in the country (X's and O's). His adjustments are on point and he has a strong staff surrounding him. A buddy of mine worked on his staff for the last 3 years and can't say enough good things about the guy.

You're doing rivalry hate wrong. Try it again, but this time with more enmity and maybe say something terrible about his mother.

I do hate those guys. Please don't get that confused. I'm not sure what SMU's hate for UT is these days but I imagine it's similar.

Pretty similar. Though you then add public/private arrogance and a bit of the NCAA's disinterest in investigating UT at all and interest in giving us the death penalty for similar infractions.
