JamFan's Fast Break - The Moment of Truth
The Clippers have benefitted by having played the fewest games in the NBA. No back to backs and lots of time to practice and rest between games. But that is all about to change this week. This is the week that we will find out what kind of team we really have. It is our moment of truth.
The Clippers just followed up a 28 point blow out over Houston with a 92-86 win over the...

What Should the Clippers Do About the Guard Logjam?
As of Friday afternoon, the Los Angeles Clippers sit at 3-2, and are the only team in the Pacific Division with a winning record. With all the roster turnover the team has undergone in such a short period, they should be feeling pretty good about things.
However, there’s still plenty of room for improvement. One would expect things to get better as the season continues and...

Clippers dream team still a work-in-progress
The Clippers got what they needed this offseason. They changed the culture around the team and added the game’s best point guard to pair with the league’s most exciting big man. With their new additions, they seemingly became a contender overnight.
But after playing the first two games of the season, it has become painfully obvious that the Clippers are still missing...

The Best Team Wins the Championship? What Kind of Communist Notion is That?
It’s too bad that this article resides behind ESPN’s paywall and is full of untrustworthy notions like “computer rankings,” because Brian Fremeau makes a very good, basic point about college football’s structure: it is more likely to crown the most deserving team. Fremeau notes that according to the Massey Rating composite, the BCS has consistently crowned the team...

Order Restored: Michigan Beats Ohio State for the First Time Since 2003
With apologies to Brian Cook's weekly declarations, it is finally appropriate to utter the words "Brady Hoke gets it." Hoke's Wolverines beat Ohio State 40-34 yesterday in a game that could have easily been a 20-point blowout in either direction. [Insert section about Braxton Miller's throwing accuracy here]
Simply put: ugly or beyond ugly, a win is a win. Michigan fans were...

The Los Angeles Clippers need more production out of the small forwards in 2011-12
The Clippers need more offensive production out of the small forwards in 2011-12. 22-year old Al-Farouq Aminu might get a shot to be the full-time starter this year. He played in 81 games (14 starts) for the Clippers last year and he averaged 17.9 minutes, 5.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Aminu only shot 39.4% from the floor and he’s going to need to...

Caption contest. Go.
The Road Ahead:
Iowa (5-3, 2-2 B1G)

My Chart is Growing
Showing the understandable effects of obsessively covering Michigan during a four-year period of barely mitigated suck, Brian Cook frets that my comparison of Florida and Penn State yields an unfortunate conclusion for Michigan: This is my concern, dude. Everyone regards PSU as a fraud, and we're kind of the same team except our loss was more competitive and our conference...

Three and Out: Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan Wolverines in the Crucible of College Football
This thing. It will be discussed.
One of the genuine perks about being a Michigan blogger, other than writing for all you fine folks, is sometimes we get...stuff. I must admit, when I first heard about John U. Bacon's book, Three and Out – which chronicles a blow-by-blow account of the three most tumultuous years in recent Michigan Football memory, I knew it would be...

Are you smarter than a Michigan athletic director?
Brian Cook takes Dave Brandon’s utterly inexplicable decision to schedule another game with Appalachian State as an opportunity to ponder what kind of mind is charged with running Michigan’s football program.

There are some changes to the Blogpoll this year, most notably the one in which MGoBlog's Brian Cook -- the founder of the poll -- will no longer be running it. The poll is completely in the hands of SBNation and Andy Hutchins now, who I'm sure will do a fine job wrangling all these ballots every week.
Anyway, ballots are due in on Monday now instead of Wednesday, which shouldn...

Brian Cook Wants To Instill Winning Attitude
Included among the many Fighting Illini basketball greats who returned to campus for the recent Alumni Game were several still plying their trade in the NBA. Brian Cook was one of those players. Now living in Los Angeles, he always appreciates returning to his roots. He reminds current Illini what it takes to win.
