I honestly thought that was gonna happen when they fired Weber, straight up trade for Martin. I would have been OK with that.

The radio is saying he's hurt today and trying to play through a knee or groin.
I would love Frank Martin as a coach. Get a positive, Groce-like assistant to contrast with his demeanor and you have a classic good cop/bad cop dynamic set up. I'd eat it up.

Man Crispin loves the Illini
Nice that someone in the media does.
Give the guy a break, he has come off of two major injuries. He always give 100% effort. Don't try to put the players down when we are losing. Go after the coach.

As predictable as this was(to me at least), does anybody really believe he doesn't harp on them, push them, prod them....do everything possible to get them ready?
It's a combination of issues. I think he's over his skis, I think his assistants are WAY out of their league and I think as mad as people get at him...the talent on this roster is subpar.
Read the comments about the individual play. There are only so many directions you can go with what he has, BUT he recruited what he has. So, it's on him.
You recruit players with talent, heart and people who fit what you're trying to do. I can't tell what he's trying to do and I don't know if it's because he's lost or because he has pieces that don't fit(No PG prior to Lucas playing, no athletic big who plays on both ends, no quantity of athletic shooters, etc...).
When he had Paul, Richardson, Egwu, etc....they looked like they had it together. It's a lot easier when you have scorers, shooters and rim protectors.

My guess is they're talking about where to go eat tonight and what sights to take in during all the free time this weekend.
Everyone ready for the "I was really proud of the way we fought" postgame presser?
This made me throw my lunch.

is it me or is there literally orange in the seats? All michigan....
I get what you are saying there. This game would be ugly without him. Just came off as complaining about his play during the season.

Yeah, not at all complaining. I love TA. He's all heart.

Needed this defense all game. Their early run killed this game momentum and competetiveness.

One word: Embarrassing.
Definitely a possibility. He obviously was playing injured at the end of the Rutgers game.
