You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.

Time is moving toooo slooooooow.....ready to watch some baseball.....getting sick of all this chi sox coverage on tv for todays opening day....ready to see the tigers...

And dont even bring up hoops....hoops is dead....rough loss....this ones going to take awhile to get over...this team was better talentwise then other izzo final 4 teams....applings wrist was the killer this yr...him not being a scoring threat hurt.....didnt hurt uconn basically played a home game and got a few home cooked calls....but oh well....sparty played like shit...

At least scUM lost...now wisky has to lose...man a wisky scUM final 4 game wouldve killed me....someone would of had to win...

But anyways....FAWK BASKETBALL!!!!

PLAY BALL!!!!!

 

[Cleaves2000]

The chi sox still have plenty of tickets left for todays game


Too bad i wasnt a twin fan...i could go to opening day.....looks like when the tigers come here this yr, half the cell will be detroit fans.

I usually don't get worked up over basketball losses, but yesterday was a real heartbreaker. Especially after making fun of Kentucky all season long.

 

[Nosferatu]

If the Gophers go to 3 more frozen four's -- They will have went to as many as Michigan has.

Yeah, most of those were when our grandparents were children. In my lifetime Minnesota has 5 National Championships, Michigan has 2.

You know michigan fans love to live off of the 1800's-1930's......same with football....they will tell us about all the wins over the 8 schools in 1890....

We dominated the 19th century though!!!

Yes, when MSU has 16 turnovers (to 6 for UConn), I'm not gonna say the officiating was the reason for the loss -- even though UConn got away with a lot of hacks inside. And one other observation: when did the NCAA become the NBA, with guys able to take 3.5 steps to the basket without travelling being called?

Hey give UM some credit. They have been to 11 frozen four's in the last 22 years. That isn't terrible for a school where hockey is secondary.

Michigan is a great hockey school I just like givin ya chit!

Yeah as Nos said(both posts). Michigan obviously has a great history, as always it's fun giving Dougy shit. But, a lot of their success was way way back like football.

Now the two teams are in the same conference. Conference champs and frozen four in year 1!!!

Scary thing is, basically this whole team will be back next year lol.

The Cell= dirtiest stadium in baseball

The cell is the broken down generic version of comerica...but i must admit...my wife got 4 VIP tix 2 yrs agoy for a noon sox game on a sunday....it rained all day...called game around 8....we got to go to that huge restaurant in right field with the big windows....sports bar upstairs, fancy buffet down below...we got to eat free and drink free all day...was nice in there...had walls covered with sox murals and memorabilia....i wouldve been in heaven if it was detroit...another cool thing was our section was between the 2 levels so we didnt have to go onto concourse....the concourse was inside carpeted and furnished with tv's and couches from right field all the way around to lf....so we stayed dry....even walked by the hawks booth...he had an old ass man sitting in chair guarding the door...i guess he was his security lol.....but besides that, the cell sucks....but it is detroits 2nd home

Yeah i dont blame the officiating either...just letting off steam i guess...they got what they deserved shooting all those jumpers and sloppy play....yeah college is slowly becoming the NBA....the FT's in the tourney and all the stopages have hurt it in my eyes...no flow...just like the crappy NBA

 

[Cleaves2000]

Damn i didnt start vmart

 

[Howie115]

Damn, V-mart almost parked another one. Foul by a few feet.

 

[da55bums]

Sal Perez is rollin. Almost bullpen time...

Tigers are going to put it all on Miggy's bat again, Royals better walk the guy the rest of the game.

 

[Howie115]

KC bullpen lets 'em down. Shocked.

No-decision for both starters, now.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Well that BP just gave up a 3B to gonzalez lol
