I don't have it in me to do a full preview so it's just the lineup cards. Dug is serving his first of six road game suspensions for reportedly academic reasons. Also: football are the national champions.

I think we’d all rather think about football anyway.

No Dug for six road games. Sheesh. And I thought the season was already looking terrible.

This is about the same amount of energy I would put towards this game, right now, after winning a fricken National Championship!

If Seth et al don't feel invested in addressing this, I completely understand, but...
Should we consider cyaning Juwan on these diagrams? It's frankly not undeserved and maybe it'll have a late-season Cade or Q-Jo galvanizing effect that spurs better performance. Or maybe this is a weapon you only deploy judiciously?

Has it been announced that Khayat is starting?

With the caveat that I support our players and hope for their success...
This was given exactly the amount of effort it deserves. Michigan Football won the CFP National Championship earlier this week - many people don't know this!

MBB sacrificed itself for the good of the team.
Fun fact - first game I ever attended was App state. I'm pretty sure I'm cursed. Ran into Juwan in Vegas for Atlantis tournament, and ever since then football has been on the rise and bball is dropping.
All that's to say I'm pretty sure I put the curse on Michigan football, but also moved it over to the bball team. Not planning to go to a bball game ever again.

I don’t know anything about Maryland basketball but if their coach thinks having guards is overrated too, we might have a chance?

I am throwing out all of my superstitions tonight. I don't think any of them will work and I don't want to waste them.
I am going to watch but I am not going to get upset whatever happens. I will crack a smile if we win.
I am comfortable selling out basketball for a football championship. If the price is having basketball suck this year it is a small price to pay for the confetti and their stories.
I wonder if someone will start an open thread or whether Keith Jackson will be there.

Writing "Football 'are' the national champions" seems like instead of basketball, too much time has been spent covering the other kind of football in Europe. Sorry, but this is not Michigan FC.
