Ghosts of Wayne Fontes:
For the first time in 11 years, the Michigan Wolverines ousted a top ten opponent, de-throning fake west coast pseudo-rival, UCLA, at Madison Square Garden last night.And more importantly, the Wolverines are unbeaten and giving Michigan fans a little heart starter that for once does not involve beer in the morning or an injection through the rib cage. At 3-0 and with a top 5 victory, the Wolverines, dare I say it, are gonna be ranked.
I'm kicking myself today, because I noticed last week when I attended the mother of all concerts, AC/DC - who I kid you not, has not lost even a semblance of a step and is worth $300 to see - that Michigan was coming to town this week. While I figured this year's team would see notable improvement in John Beilein's second year, the expectations are now soaring.
After all, Manny Harris looks like a bonafide superstar, averaging 23.7 points, 4.7 assists, and 7.3 rebounds per contest and DeShawn Sims is maturing into the real deal as well with 15.7 points and eight boards per game of his own.
Clearly, with a potentially disastrous Ohio State football game just about 12 hours away, a little lifeblood via the hoops team is exactly what us depressed Michigan fans need right now and hey, maybe lighting can strike twice? Go Blue. Fu&k the Buckeyes.Subscribe to us
