I've done a complete 180 on Michigan since Howard took over. Normally I never really root for any B1G teams outside of us in the tournament, but couldn't help but root for UM when Beilein was there.

I loved his style, he got the most out of his players, and they were fun to watch. Plus Crean would inexplicably beat them more often than not which made it easier.

Howard is the complete opposite. UM has good kids I'm sure, outside of that ****** Hunter Dickinson, but Howard is a complete clown.

He needs to go.

I'm in upper Indiana and we are looking at the same thing but with 8 to 12 inches of snow.  I used to live in central Indiana in a rural town and the effect of snow was completely different.....up in Northwest Indiana shutdowns are very short despite getting pelted with lake effect snow.  In rural Indiana we would get shutdown for days with much less snow.  I'm not familiar where Bloomington falls on that spectrum.  Also didn't consider the wind chill issue.

If this forecast ends up being close, Bloomington will be a mess until Sunday. The cold and winds will keep crews off the roads for a while.

Just to add a touch more unpredictability, where I am in St Louis we’re currently getting significant freezing rain, which was never part of our forecast. So, everybody, have fun.

Allow me to be the contrarian:

• Under Beilien, Michigan was easy to like and hard to beat.
• Under Howard, Michigan is harder to like and easier to beat.

Howard is chippy, volatile, and I get the feeling is a guy that I'd way rather spend an afternoon with than Beilien. Howard is interesting as hell, but not always for the right reasons.

Keep Juwan Howard!

Getting spitting rain in Eastern IL which wasn’t thought to be in the cards here either. Need to make a whiskey run STAT.

Keep it in IL.  I'm not wheels up until 7:30 pm.

Yesterday Iowa got a torrent of bad weather from Eastern Illinois.  Fran was not pleased.

I could hear all 18 EIU basketball fans screaming the “E-I-E-I-E-I-U” chant from my backyard.

Well apparently Covid cancelations are still a thing so I am looking forward to Howard's team shutting it down for a few weeks while the rest of the big ten beats up on each other like the past few years.

Iowa dropped from 27th in NET to 60th.   That stings 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

Well Harvard gave Kansas a better start to the game than we did for sure. So has Morgan State against Arizona. The weirdness of college basketball.

It looks like NW Indiana isn’t going to be hit as hard as thought.  Forecasts were calling for 8 to 12 inches now calling for about 3.

I’m enjoying this, given my enthusiasm for coach Gates and distaste for the Illini

Kansas wore new unis for the IU game. Appears they’re wearing more new ones tonight.

I don’t necessarily want IU to wear six different sets per year but I will say, the Kansas threads do a nice job of being true to their look. If adidas/IU could swing that — and they’ve had a couple more recent alternates I liked — I’d like to see some occasionally

This Illinois team looks soulless 

[Stuhoo]

Gates would’ve absolutely crushed it at IU.

Oh heavens no… They have last names on their jerseys?!
