1. The X and Sleep Show
starts at 1:00
Nobody had ever given X the full Tum Tum before. He of course took it as a personal affront. Teske has a TO rate that's so low it's changing Brian's mind about 10-foot jumps. Matthews has not been hitting it, but in this game he make a concerted effort to get it to the rim instead of going for the fadeaway.
2. Illinois
starts at 22:57
Still pretty good. Michigan's balance shows in its consistency. Valuable Livers. Illinois makes you turn the ball over, Michigan played their game and got choppy in the first half, but got it together in the 2nd half. Simpson weirdly reminded Brian of Darius Morris. Matthews 0/5 from mid-range. M goes 18/22 from the line! It's impossible to fully appreciate Charles Matthews's shutdown defense. Brian already regrets his preseason 2019-20 take. David's sad fouls hour. Murderotter.
3. Coaching Changes
starts at 48:38
They got themselves a spread guy who hashtags spread terms to go with their hashtag spread players. BC guy is a good recruiter with mad Rutger brother. Probably can't get Jerry Montgomery back on DL. OSU defections.
4. Gymnastics
starts at 1:06:30
She was hirable and defendable, except the way Michigan did it. Time to discuss Warde.

The hiring of the gymnastics coach would have been seen in a much better light, had the Athletic Department been upfront with their decision, and presented reasons why. Hiring her under the "cover of darkness" magnified the situation, as if they were already guilty of something. Not good Bob.

Correct. It wasn't great. The fanbase reacted like lunatics. The AD cleaned it up quick. Moving on...

The question I'd like to ask Warde is - did he apologize because he believes she shouldn't have been hired, or because he did something people reacted negatively to?
If you believe it was ok to hire her, then firing her is a cowardly move, and very unfair to her.
If you think you shouldn't have hired her, why did you do it?
And to Brian's point - what is his WAR as an AD? I'm guessing 0. This incident should push it to negative, if only I had any faith a replacement AD would have handled it any better.

I see Josh Sanguinetti is scheduled for his official this week...he's been in the picture for a long time. I have always liked his film. Adding more "SEC" speed from Florida has to be a good thing. Josh's primary position is considered to be safety but he is a very good WR too...he does not get caught from behind! It will be interesting to see what Gattis thinks of him.
