Unverified Voracity Reads Draft Tea Leaves
Inside the locker room. Grantland's Shane Ryan has a great article about Michigan in the locker room after the game:
This is clearly one of the most painful losses of your career. When it's over, you have a few minutes to talk to each other, to be alone, and then it's an onslaught of media. Your pain is still fresh. You can't get mad, you can't get annoyed, you can't refuse, and it lasts a long time. What's that like?
Tim Hardaway Jr.: [laughing] "I mean, it's not — I don't want to say it's brutal, but it is … it's a job. It's their job, it's your job to get stuff, so … I mean, I'm not worried about it, I'm not afraid to talk about it, so … that is the nice answer, but it's honest, I'm honest about it. It's part of what they do. It's part of what everybody does, so I mean, I'm not worried about it at all."
Hardaway's laughter was satisfying, in a way, because it cracked his shell for a moment. It broke through the training, and it showed, for an instant, the real difficulty it presented. The laugh was part sarcastic, part "how could I possibly explain this to you?" and part "it's miserable and depressing, but I know better than to say that on the record." It was also the prelude to shutting down again. I even interrupted him halfway through: "That's the nice answer" — but he was careful not to take the bait a second time. Still, I got that one laugh.
Reason #3,509 I have no interest in having a press pass.
Everyone's main question. McGary backed off the definitely back talk and is now in Hated Chad Ford's top 20. Let's seize on this quote and cuddle it for warmth:
"This will be a great team next year, with great guys coming in and a great group of guys leaving, you can't replace those five seniors," he said. "We'll see."
"There's some unfinished business. ... We'll see next year."
In the immediate aftermath, the News picked up this quote from Robinson:
"Right now, I'll be back. We'll talk about that whenever I need to but you know this isn't the time to talk about that right now," Robinson said. "It's about all these guys in the locker room that played their hearts out tonight."
Burke, of course, seems gone. Hardaway is 50/50 with tea leaves suggesting he leaves. Someone ask Tim Hardaway's hat.
In other news, NBA scouts are kind of jerks.
"I think it was obvious that he was the reason that Michigan got that far. He will be drafted higher than he should be," the scout said. "He wants to be (Allen) Iverson but I'm not sure any organization will just hand him the ball. I question his speed and size. Definitely (at least) an NBA backup point guard."
I question your face, buddy. And your basketball acumen if you think that Burke's an inefficient volume shooter and ball-hog.
Slate on the whatnot. Guhhhh.
After Albrecht's sadly non-superheroic jaunt to the basket, Louisville's Chane Behanan plucks the ball off the backboard and throws an outlet pass to Peyton Siva. The Cardinals guard is in the open court with only Burke between him and the basket. On the subject of irrational confidence: Just a minute before, the 6-foot Siva had gone backdoor, leaped high into the air, and stuffed in an alley-oop. Now, Siva jumps from the same spot on the court. Burke, who's slowed down to time his steps, jumps with him. Their hands meet above the rim, cresting at the midpoint of the backboard square. It's a beautiful play, proof that you can achieve athletic grace by canceling out your opponent's best effort.
And then the stupid ref ruins it by calling a stupid foul.
Levin eventually concludes that he's not sure what you could do to make basketball less dependent on the random guesses of [redacted] men in stripes. I wish I could be as benevolent about the lessons to take from the outcome.
Why it took so long to foul. Beilein screwed up:
"I thought we were in the 1-and-1, so it's a coaching error on my part" Beilein said. "We were trying to foul the right guy (Dieng). I was happy (Dieng) was going to the foul line, and I didn't realize we weren't in the 1-and-1. That falls right on me as a coach."
Fire this clown! HOT TAKES
Lawrence Frank disagrees. He got a little hot when the idea of questioning Beilein for sitting Burke as long as he did came up:
"Let's say he (Beilein) puts him (Burke) back, when, I don't know, two-minute mark, three-minute mark, and he picks up his third foul, up 12," Frank said. "What are people going to say then? 'Well, what the hell, you had a 12-point cushion, why would you put him back in the game?'
"Look, what it took was a guy that was a transfer walk-on (Hancock) to make four threes. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but trust me, John Beilein knows that Trey Burke's the national college player of the year. It's not a surprise to him. He knows how good the kid is. He also knows how the ebb and flow of the game goes."
Frank said he was stunned that Beilein's decisions were so scrutinized after a well-played game.
"Here's a guy, he's got the youngest team in the tournament, they're in the final game, and yet a story line is coaching. Are you kidding me?" Frank said. "Not that he's infallible or didn't make mistakes. He got the youngest team in the tournament to the finals."
Odes. Michigan blog tribute outbursts come in waves:
- Maize and Go Blue actually uses "ode" in the title.
- MVictors talks about how he shuts down during games. I alternate between that and outbursts when the pressure gets too high.
- Hold The Rope recaps.
- Hoover Street Rag says thanks.
- Genuinely Sarcastic focuses on how damn hard it is to actually win one of these things.
Horford zen. Jon Horford on the post-game locker room:
"It was beautiful," sophomore forward Jon Horford said. "Everyone was so calm. No one was crying, no one was complaining, no one was throwing things. Everyone was just so calm. Coach (John) Beilein just got up and he started to speak and he just set the tone. He stressed the importance of valuing everything we've accomplished.
"He just started thanking everyone, from the players and coaches to the support staff, and he just had this air of gratitude. Having great respect for the moment, and understanding the bonds we've made as a team are much more important than winning a basketball game, even if it is the national championship."
Spencer Brinton, come on down. Michigan says they'll look for potential JUCO or fifth-year QBs to address the whole "two scholarship QBs on the roster" thing. Projected impact: none. Even if they find a guy to come in, he'd be a JUCO who didn't get picked up already or a fifth-year guy knowingly walking into a situation where he won't start. That guy won't be better than Shane Morris, and if Michigan is going to try to get that redshirt on him they'll probably be riding with Brian Cleary late in games.
It's all about not quite paying the kids enough money to meet federal standards for financial aid. Everyone hates Mark Emmert. Some of us have good reasons. Others are Indiana State, and this creates a problem for that whole "stipend" thing which is really just bringing the athletic scholarship closer to how much it actually costs to attend various colleges:
In some ways, the issue has become a referendum on Mr. Emmert, whose attempts to get things done quickly have alienated certain factions.
"There are some people who will oppose anything he supports, and that's unfair," says Sidney A. McPhee, president of Middle Tennessee State University. As head of the NCAA Student-Athlete Well-Being Working Group, Mr. McPhee has become chief arbiter of the stipend debate. …
The climate has frustrated Mr. McPhee, who believes that even the less-wealthy programs have an obligation to make a priority of players and their unmet financial needs. "If you want to compete [in Division I]," he says, "you've got to step up."
They've had an almost unanimous straw poll with various stakeholders in favor; they believe anything they do would just get overridden.
Okay, no counsel. How about standing around them with passive menace? Taylor Lewan isn't going to give various Michigan basketball players noogies until they agree to come back next year:
"That's not my place at all," the senior said Tuesday after practice at Glick Field House. "What Trey Burke, Tim does -- I know Tim, have had class with him and he's a great guy -- whatever decision they make, you have to make the best decision for yourself.
"I think if they choose to leave, they'll have my support. I don't even know Trey Burke, but he has my support. Those guys have done a great job and earned everything they get."
Tremendous sighting. In the welcome-home pep rally yesterday:
With his team in folding chairs around him on the floor, Wolverines coach John Beilein took to the microphone and thanked the fans for coming out. He said he had heard about the Monday night gathering at Crisler when the arena was nearly filled to capacity, and called it "tremendous."
Etc.: Wojo on if these guys are going to hang around yo. SBN on Trey Burke. Of course it's the Detroit Free Press with the commemorative national title book. Twit factory, that place. Northwestern fans have discovered the work of the Michigan wikipedia club. They are not best pleased.
MLive is terrible at pulling out interesting tweets. This article on Burke's possible NBA departure sets new records for commenter stupidity. We are not going anywhere. Also not going anywhere.
Hello From The Future: Brady Pallante
Football player, state champion wrestler.
As the basketball team made their way to the Final Four, the football team picked up a grayshirt commitment from Naples (FL) Barron Collier defensive lineman Brady Pallante. As a grayshirt commit, Pallante will pay his way through school during the 2014-15 scholastic year—during which time he cannot participate in team activities—before joining the team on full scholarship for the 2015 season. If it makes it easier, just consider him the first commitment for the 2015 class, and one who'll get a head start on the academic side of things.
|24/7 Sports
Pallante, as you can see, is not a high-profile recruit, and his offer list—only Appalachian State gave him a non-grayshirt offer—is in line with his early rankings. The four services peg Pallante at 6'1" and between 255-278 pounds, making him a pretty stout interior lineman in the Rob Renes mold.
If you see the above and are wondering why the coaches offered a scholarship to an unranked kid from Florida, Pallante—a lifelong Wolverine fan—camped at Michigan last summer and impressed the coaches, as well as making WolverineNation's list of top performers ($):
2014 Brady Pallante -- He's a Florida kid who definitely turned some heads in Ann Arbor on Monday. He has a good combination of size and speed, which Michigan is always looking for.
Pallante won a state championship in wrestling last winter, and apparently reminded the coaches of a certain former Wolverines with a similar pedigree on the mat, per Scout's Kyle Bogenschutz ($) [emphasis mine]:
Pallante, 6'1, 275 pounds finished an impressive junior year with 59 tackles, six sacks, and four forced fumbles, all from the interior of the defensive line, exactly what Michigan envisions him doing at the next level as a one technique.
"The coaches up at Michigan said I remind them a lot of Mike Martin," said Pallante. "Coach Hoke just sat down with me and said, 'we're looking for a guy who can replace Mike Martin at nose guard and a guy that works hard and is a tough kid'."
Actual scouting evaluations on Pallante are scant; the only one I can dig up is from 247's Clint Brewster, who broke down Pallante's film after his commitment ($):
At about 6-foot-1 and 260-pounds, Pallante has the short/stout frame you want for a defensive tackle to be able to get underneath offensive lineman and gain leverage. Pallante is very quick off the ball and has a number of moves in his arsenal to beat an offensive lineman. He has a brawlers mentality in the trenches and can stand his ground against the run.
Pallante's speed and strength are also noted as positives, while his size is his most apparent area for improvement.
As said above, Pallante's other offer was from Appalachian State. Rivals lists interest, but no offer, from Boston College, Duke, Georgia Tech, Northwestern, Purdue, and UCF.
Per Scout, Pallante recorded 59 tackles, six sacks, and four forced fumbles in his junior season.
None of the sites list a 40 time. Rivals does have some lifting numbers: 370 lbs. bench max and 580 lbs. squat max.
Pallante doesn't have highlights on YouTube, but you can see an extensive junior reel on his Hudl page.
Pallante could conceivably play either nose guard or three-tech, though it sounds like the coaches have him pegged as a nose, where he can utilize his leverage to hold the point of attack on the interior. Michigan has pulled in a nose guard in each of the last three classes (incl. 2014) in Ondre Pipkins, Maurice Hurst Jr., and Bryan Mone. When Pallante is able to join the team in 2015, he'll be operating behind those guys. At this juncture, it's tough to project him as much more than helpful depth at a position that usually rotates at least a couple of players, but we'll see where he's at after his senior season.
Since Pallante accepted a grayshirt offer, his commitment doesn't affect the numbers for the 2014 class, and it's far too early to take a guess at the 2015 numbers with any real accuracy.
Best and Worst: NCAA Tournament
So yeah, this has actually been in the works for a couple of weeks, but being the superstitious person that I apparently am when it comes to sports, I held off posting while UM kept plowing through the best teams in the country. As a result, I've had to completely junk sections (e.g. talking about Burke's chances at national POY honors, lack of compelling storylines) while fleshing out others (e.g. horrible refereeing, announcers with agendas, 3-point shooting as a sustainable offensive strategy) with more information. And maybe the wounds are still too raw and fresh, but this post will be my little catharsis after going through the emotional wringer.
Best: Thank you!
This post may get a little melancholy, so up front I want to say "Thank you" to the team, the coaches, to everyone for a great season. When I caught UM in NYC just before Thanksgiving, I hadn't seen them play in person in over a decade. But not 5 minutes into that game, I couldn't get over how much fun it was to watch them. They played the game "the right way", but not in the cliche way old men use it to refer to a figment of their faded memories, but in the way good basketball should be. It has been an amazing run all year, and will be a tale I tell my kids years from now when they are staring at their iPad 7s at dinner and ignoring me.
This team was fun to watch, and as a fan that is the best complement you can give a team.
Best: Expectations!!!
Worst: Expectations!?!
Not to go all SEC and make everything about football, but does everyone remember how depressing the 2008 Michigan football season was? The team went 3-9 and wasn't even that good, and the bowl streak ended, the team was trounced by mid-level MAC teams and freaking Illinois, and everyone was bummed? And this stink, this cloud of despair, didn't really start to leave until Brady Hoke showed up and the team beat OSU and won the Sugar Bowl?
Well, the conventional wisdom during 2008 was that most Michigan fans had never experienced such a profound sense of national irrelevance, let alone the tangible results of a losing season, in their lifetimes, that they didn't know how to handle it. They had expectations, and those finally did not mesh with reality. As a result, they lacked the copping mechanisms other fanbases built up over time, of seeing your best efforts end in missed bowl games and losing streaks to rivals. You get used to the teases, the down years, the unknown trials and tribulations that put pencils in your hands during preseason prognosticating when you really want pens. You can't assume anything, which maybe makes the lows more ominous but also makes the highs that much sweeter.
People will say that UM basketball entered this circle of Hell when Steve Fisher walked out those doors, bodies sticking out from beneath the various rugs and buses strewn about Crisler. But that always felt like an easy-to-locate marker than an actual timestamp, the "official" end of an era for narrative purposes. To me, the beginning of this sports purgatory was that 1993 National Championship game. Until that point, Michigan had seemingly been on a perpetual rise. The title in 1989 felt slightly unexpected at the time but, in hindsight, kind of made sense given the talent on the team. They followed that win up with another solid season, one admittedly down year in 1991, and then the rise of the Fab Five. For a solid 5-year stretch, everything was coming up Michigan.
But then UM lost to North Carolina, and the magic was gone like that. In hindsight, it would have been gone regardless of the outcome, because expectations had been ratcheted up to unsustainable levels as soon as Chris, Jalen, Juwan, Jimmy, and Ray pulled up their black socks. 1989 was the title, but 1993 gave people the license to expect a title, and this pivot is what turns fans from 1980 US Hockey fans to 1980 USSR Hockey fans.
Duke fans feel like this, same with UNC, Kansas, IU and MSU. You want to just love your team for what it is now, but you can't completely ignore what they were and what they should be. And that taints your view a bit; you are relieved when they squeak by a 5 seed in the second round of the NCAA tournament because it means another trip to the Sweet 16, and it leaves the possibility open for a run to the Elite 8 and to the Final Four. You feel a release not of happiness but of pressure, vicariously living through wins and loses the way you always say you won't but inevitably ends with you screaming at the television in front of mixed company.
I guess my point is that regardless of how Monday turned out, UM basketball has returned to national relevance, and that is amazing for fans like me who tried to talk himself in Maceo Baston and Louis Bullock as saviors of the Maize and Blue cagers. John Beilein has proven to be a dynamic offensive mind and a very shrewd recruiter, who can meld teams into his image and overcome many of the deficiencies found in the college game. Even with the expected turnover, people will expect UM basketball to be back in the conference and national title hunts most years, like a national power should be. At the same time, though, the feelings of these past 4 weeks will probably never be there again, or if they are they'll be tinged with a dread you can't quite shake. The cloud over UM basketball has finally lifted; it may just be replaced with a far less oppressive one.
Worst: You can take the referees out of the Big 10, but you can't take the Big 10 out of the referees
Now, I could complain about the officiating in that title game as much as anyone, but it was emblematic of a trend in college basketball that has been going on for years. Whether it be due to the byzantine and obtuse rulebook and its inconsistent enforcement, the speed and development of the players, or simply a drop in overall quality, the officiating of major college basketball has been immensely underwhelming. Offensive players are either treated as Faberge Eggs with the ball (and any impediment of their travel to the hoop treated as a class-2 misdemeanor), or running backs in the worst Oklahoma drill in the world. Defensive players seemingly have no idea what qualifies as a foul or not, so they just throw their bodies around and get handsie like they're at the Gold Club until they hear a whistle. Blatant calls are missed while game-clock differences of .2s result in 20-minute private screenings of computer monitors.
Since players started to go directly to the NBA with little or no time spent in college, people have offered this up as evidence as to why the college game has suffered both aesthetically as well as in results. And while it is true that the overall talent of squads has been diminished, the quality of the games has been affected at least as much by the degradation of the officiating. Or maybe that's not the right term; the enforcement of rules has become so murky that referees seemingly are making them up as they go along, creating the disjointed and error-riddled product we've seen for over a decade.*
And while I love complain about it as much as the next guy, I don't think refs "pick" a team or storyline and skew the game in that direction. They don't get paid by the outcome, and despite Tim Donaghy's claims, I don't think most horrible calls are part of some insidious plan to defraud the betting public. But this whole season has been a parade of poor officiating in every conference, highlighted by a B1G season in which mauling a player or punching him in the Hoosiers barely registers. UM benefitted from these calls at times, especially during the tourney, but the fact that even the CBS announcers were calling out the poor calls during the game is an indictment of the "professionals" who are supposed to be keeping the game clean for the kids playing it.
*And I'll add that it's not like the NBA game is some bastion of beautiful play either. People point at Heat-Thunder and act like the rest of the season plays out like that. As someone who watches Pistons-Bobcats and Timberwolves-New Orleans, lots of games are downright unbearable.
Best: Player of the year != Dickie V's/NBA Draft Express's Ranking
This was one of those sections that was in an earlier draft, before Trey Burke pulled a Triple H and took every relevant POY award for himself. But whatever, it is still relevant. I know I sound like a cranky old man and/or Skip Bayless, but it feels like the POY award criteria has devolved the past 15-20 years from "who is the best player in the country based on a spectrum of elements, including team success, boxscore stats, and quality of competition" to a big switch statement:
case "ESPN likes him";
return POY;
case "Plays for Duke":
return POY;
case "White guy with funny hair and/or 'tries hard'":
return POY;
case "NBA teams will draft him high":
return POY;
case "Plays for 'big-name' team:
return POY;
case "Guy who plays basketball well":
return POY;
return not_POY;
I'm not saying this is a full-proof algorithm, but there is a trend, if you will.
But what makes his sweep so great is that he backed it up on the court in different ways, like a true player of the year should. Outside of the second halves against Kansas and Louisville, Burke could never find his rhythm shooting, so he turned on the ball-hawking defense and facilitated McGary and the shooters. He made his team better, and when they needed him to start scoring he usually did. Even in defeat, he scored 24 points in basically a half of basketball, and probably would have had more had two horrible foul calls (Hancock's three and his block on Siva) not been made. And he did it without the top-notch supporting cast that you sometimes see at places like UNC, Duke, and Kentucky, where multiple lottery picks are peaking at the same time. Simply stated – he put his team in a position to win every game, and it was refreshing to see a POY do that in big games.
Best: Growth
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I'm expecting McGary, GRIII, and Stauskas to return next year. Burke will be leaving and I expect Hardaway to be gone as well, but overall this team should have some talented players returning to supplement the Irvin and Walton joining the fold next year. It will be interesting to see how the young frontcourt players respond to an offense without a POY feeding them the ball at the best places possible, but I also have faith that they will make the necessary improvements to be leader-types next season. In particular, the rebounding ceiling of this team should rise dramatically, if for no other reason than a year in the weight room (not sure if they'll have time to be in the community) will bulk up McGary and Robinson to the point they can bang with other post presences in the conference. And while I'm not expecting Spike to replace Burke's production or leadership, he has proven himself to be a steady enough hand (and Beilein a great molder of PGs) to be a suitable replacement next year. The team will look quite a bit different, but a dramatic fall doesn't seem likely.
Worst: Draft Speculation
Ugh. Every year, as soon as the confetti has been swept off the court in whatever gawd-awful football stadium the NCAA selected to screw up their championship environment, the attention turns to which players will/should be declaring for the NBA draft. Until recently, of course, UM never had to worry about it. Sure, Jamal Crawford declared early and that stunk, but the NCAA seemed hell-bent on making sure he'd never play a college game again, so that wasn't a surprise. Manny Harris and Darius Morris were slight surprises but nothing shocking, especially given the clear ceilings in their games.
But the talk surrounding GRIII and McGary seems different, in that it epitomizes the "upside-idation" of pro basketball right now. It's no longer enough to just be a competent player who needs to improve and mature; now everyone looks at a kid and guesses how he'll look in 2-3 years, with more muscle, better shooting and different coaching, and then tries to figure out if he's worth a draft pick. I think both of these players will get drafted in the NBA when they finally leave, but I've seen nothing this season to make me believe they can be even a fringe-rotation player on a decent NBA team next season. That doesn't seem like a smart investment for either kid to leave UM, but I'm sure the next couple of weeks will be filled with dread.
Best: Likeable Players
This is probably more a blurb than a real thought, but it was refreshing to watch a Final Four in which none of the teams featured an outwardly-villainous player. That means, no Marshall Henderson's, no Derrick Nix's, not even an Evan Turner-type who doesn't do anything outwardly horrible but just seems like a jerk on the court. Maybe Triche at Syracuse, but I don't remember people hating on him like other players in years past. I certainly wasn't crazy about Luke Hancock as a player against UM, but him being good at basketball (and being bailed out by questionable officiating) aren't really character flaws to the degree that old Shark Boy from Ole Miss is.
Worst: Injured Players != Special Powers
I'm sure this will be unpopular to some, but the Kevin Ware situation drove me crazy not because of the way the Louisville players responded to it, but how everyone else with a buck in the game tried to exploit it for their own gain. Shirts were made so that Adidas could make a couple more bucks, blogs flooded their site with GIFs and videos to drive traffic while joining in the faux-outrage circle jerk, proponents of paying college players held it up as a shining example of why players need to be financially compensated, and the WWL/media amplified coverage to 11 in order to push the narrative that a kid's horrific injury meant something more than horrible luck. In short, it was what you'd expect from modern sports culture.
But the real travesty is that Ware's injury had very little to do with, you know, basketball. He was a good player for the Cards, but they obviously were able to weather his loss on the court reasonably well. Those kids were obviously hurt and pained by watching one of their friends and teammates suffer a horrible injury, but the narrative pushed that they were going to play "hard for Kevin" completely dismisses the reality that these kids were in the Elite 8 and playing for a f'ing national title already. Their next loss would likely be the end of many of their college careers. They had enough motivation.
Yet, to listen to pundits you'd think Louisville needed to sacrifice Ware's tibia and fibula to the Basketball Gods in order to overcome Duke, WSU, and UM. To cheapen what happened into some motivational plot device devalues the real pain and suffering that occurred. Louisville won and lost because of how they played on the court, and while I'm sure they were happy that Kevin Ware was able to watch them win the national title, I find it hard to believe that their motivation to win a title was supplemented in a meaningful way by his injury.
Worst: Looking for answers
After a loss, people always look for explanations, some fact or trend that explains how one team emerged victorious while another left in defeat. And in some games, perhaps there is a clear example – poor shooting, rebounding, defense, etc. Maybe the other team his 50% of its threes, or forced 25 TOs. But over time, you start to see that perhaps teams lose and win because, in a one-game playoff, anything can happen. UM was a mediocre rebounding unit all year, and that continued into the postseason (35.1 TREB in the regular season, 36 TREB in the tourney). They shot about 71% on FTs in the regular season, and not much worse in the tourney. The defense gambled with outside shooting all year and it usually worked out, except when it didn't and they were blitzed by teams like IU and MSU. Nothing much changed this postseason except for the fact that UM cruised past VCU and Florida in ways that people didn't expect. They squeezed out a win against a Kansas team that seemingly every year underperforms a bit. Syracuse was a nail-biter to the end, and Louisville could have turned on a couple of plays. UM's profile didn't change that much, except that when they went on those 3-pointer binges the other team usually failed to respond.
My point is that UM lost because someone had to, just like SDSU, VCU, Kansas, Florida, and Syracuse. Yes, talent tends to win out over time and that's why regular seasons matter in terms of seeding, but the best and worst thing about the tourney is that every game feels like its own little SimCity, and sometimes the power reactor is going great, the streets are clean, and the taxes are high, and other times, well…
Best: Next Year
As much as I complained about the dangers of expectations, it is also fun to realize that for the first time in, I don't know, decades, UM football and basketball seem to be both on the rise. I'm sure when one of these teams flames out early in the tourney I'll feel differently, but it's currently April 9th and everyone is still talking about UM basketball and not pining for the spring game so that we can all speculate on who's going to be the starting right tackle. That's pretty awesome.
National Championship Game Video Dump
Hi. You may be experiencing a tide of listlessness as the adrenaline pumping of the last few weeks subsides and takes its toll. We are there with you, glassily staring into nothing for minutes at a time. Absentmindedly putting mango habanero salsa on potato pancakes. Sweeping the same spot on the floor for a half hour. That kind of stuff. You're probably trying to add the word "butt" to a column of numbers in Excel. That's what I'd be doing if I had to have Excel open, anyway.
Instead I'm staring out at the rain, because I don't have to have Excel open, and typing this fairly poor excuse for things for people to read. Here are some things that MGoVideo thinks you may be interested in from Monday's game. The best is the Albrechtining:
And the infamous call on the block:
Look at it.
No, just look. In the image above, there is no whistle. There is just Trey Burke, consensus national player of the year, making another magnificent, awe-inspiring play—and in a season when he's done that time and again, I don't recall #3 blocking a shot quite like that. Stripped of the context of the game, it's simply 60 more frames of Burke's greatness.
We all witnessed a basketball classic last night, no "college" qualifier necessary. Michigan and Louisville put on a showcase of everything that is great about the sport—no two other teams in the country could've combined, on that stage, to showcase such a sublime combination of talent, skill, coaching, and the free-flowing style that makes for the most entertaining of games.
The exception was the officiating, and it's not like the Wolverines bore the brunt of that incompetence alone. Louisville's run to close out the first half could've swung the game even more had the refs not whistled phantom fouls on, if memory serves, both Peyton Siva and Russ Smith as they were in the midst of picking Wolverines clean and heading the other way for a layup. Look closely enough and you'll never fail to find points left on the table.
I watched the game last night at my apartment, with my brother and roommate, just as I had the first five games of the tourney—same people, same seats. After the final buzzer, we sat in silence for a few moments, collecting our scattered feelings. My roommate, normally the one who lets his emotions get the best of him, was the first to break the silence. Let's have a drink, go outside, get some air.
We stood on the back patio, and over a backdrop of hovering helicopters and wailing sirens we talked about the game, this team, the tourney run. The specifics of the conversation are lost to a long night and a few beverages, but I remember the smiles that crept over all of our faces as we recounted our favorite moments from an unforgettable season. Back inside, we flipped on a rerun of Arrested Development on the DVR, laughing with the Bluths like it was any other April night.
Today, I woke up a little late, and yes, with a little bit of a headache. This was what I saw when I turned on my laptop:
Michigan may have lost, but Spike Albrecht is still doing his thing, and I'm not one to count him out these days. After all, he was the Most Eligible Bachelor even before he had one of the most unlikely performances in championship history.
It's always disappointing when your team comes up just short, not because you're disappointed in them, but for them; there's no coach more deserving of a title than John Beilein, no player who's earned a crowning achievement more than Burke, and for a moment after the game I ached for them. But someone always has to ache, and who's to say who's more deserving? You know Kevin Ware; now read about Luke Hancock having the game of his life while his ailing father watched from the stands, or the incredible story of a 13-year-old Peyton Siva talking his father out of suicide, and there's no anger to be felt as Louisville celebrates. They have lives and stories just like our guys, we're just not as familiar with them.
And today, Spike Albrecht—Spike Albrecht!—is the talk of the nation, as is Burke's incredible block and that game, man, that game. Regardless of departures, and there will be departures, this program is in better shape than it was 24 hours ago. The whole country knows what we've known this whole year about Michigan basketball: they've arrived, they aren't going anywhere, and they're damn fun to watch. For 14 minutes, Spike Albrecht made everyone forget about Trey Burke, and we're not even sure he's going to start next year.
Look at it, one more time. It's still beautiful, and forever will be.
Notes From A Rooftop, 5AM
4/9/2013 – Us 1, Bottle Of Whiskey 0, season over
I'm not posting that photo to complain. It's symbolic: it didn't work out, but it was still awesome. (Dustin Johnston/UMHoops)
I'm not going to have too much to say today since at the time I'm writing this it's 5AM and at least ten hours tomorrow are slated for the road. I could have ensconced myself in my hotel room and pounded some things out but instead I did two things I'm glad I did.
One was wait around the team hotel until the guys got back and participated in the applause they got. We made the mistake of thinking things were over and only caught the tail end of John Beilein participating in a chorus of The Victors. I just looked at this guy, this chemistry teacher who'd overthrown his defense and offense and coaching staff—his whole self—and made it work without losing his essential Beilein-ness, and internally crumpled.
What can you say or think about him? I can't get a grip on it yet. I do know I was profoundly grateful this guy I would make a slight underdog against a shitzu in a hardness competition was Michigan's head basketball coach. I only wish I could have clapped hard enough to make any one of the players seem less miserable.
The second thing was hang around the roof of our hotel's parking structure drinking until about the time I started writing this. I was surprised to find out it was so late; infinitely more surprised to realize I hadn't even thought about the reflex action of checking my phone for hours. This weekend has provided a link to friends scattered about the US and drawn me closer to them—always an issue with me.
It sucks they lost, of course, but mainly I just think about how goddamn awesome the last three weeks were. Michigan took down VCU, Kansas, Florida, and Syracuse and played one of the all-time classic finals. It didn't work out; I could talk to you about rebounding and refereeing but I mean seriously that's beside the point. So beside the point. Tomorrow or the day after I will take those items on. At the moment, I'm all about whichever side of the brain is all about verbs and unicorns.
This team was awesome and the worst thing about all of this is now it's over, and that was going to happen anyway. We just talked, on the roof, about my world-spanning naiveté when I was a freshman in '97 and thought I should wait for a senior-year Rose Bowl. I 'm old enough now to have few illusions about how common a thing like this is. Boeheim's been to four Final Fours in 37 years. Massive all-encompassing basketball power Louisville last won in 1986. A thing like this does not come along often, and six points short pales in comparison to four people cementing themselves to each other on a cool Atlanta morning.
Go Blue. Thank you, 2012-13 Michigan Wolverines.

Treasure hunting in Athens and Ohio University
Internationally known artist Mark Dion will shine his spotlight on the collections from both Ohio University and Athens community members at the Kennedy Museum of Art in the exhibit "Collections Collected: The University Collects and Athens Collects Miniatures" running from Sept. 24 to Nov. 29.
Dion, an installation artist, examines the ways in which dominant ideologies and public institutions shape our understanding of history, knowledge and the natural world. A Mark Dion gallery space is unique because of the way he brings together objects from a variety of collections. He visited many departmental collections, including those from the anthropology and geology departments, the College of Engineering, athletics and aviation.
Royal Mapes, professor of geological sciences, oversees the university's paleobotanical collection and is eager to see the completed exhibition.
"I know [Dion] will put the collected objects in a format to excite people's interest and make them ask questions," he said. Mapes added that Dion was interested in objects such as mineral and fossil specimens and even an old miner's hat.
Dion chose visually compelling objects that represent aspects of the university and its researchers. He likens his process to treasure hunting, explaining that he looks for things that are unique to a particular collection, but also may represent the direction of that collection. He is especially enthusiastic about bringing people together from the community and revealing treasures from the collections he visited.
To complement the Kennedy's exhibit, the School of Art will host "Mark Dion: Collected Editions 1992-2009" in Trisolini Gallery from Sept. 18 to Nov. 14. The exhibit will feature limited-edition prints and multiples created by Dion between 1992 and 2009.
Opening receptions with the artist will be held at Trisolini Gallery in Baker University Center from 7 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 18, and at the Kennedy Museum of Art from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24. Both events are free and open to the public.
Located in Lin Hall at The Ridges, museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 12 to 5 p.m.; Thursday from 12 to 8 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The museum is closed on Mondays and holidays. Parking and admission are free. Visit www.ohio.edu/museum for more information.
Trisolini Gallery is located in Baker University Center 405. Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday. Admission is free. Visit www.finearts.ohio.edu/art for more information.
Prints kick off Hispanic Heritage Month
The Multicultural Center will host a selection woodblock prints created by the Assembly of Revolutionary Artists of Oaxaca (ASARO), a collective of young Mexican artists, in a new exhibit on display through Oct. 9 in its gallery on the second floor of Baker University Center.
"These prints give their makers the ability to voice their discontent in an expressive, evocative and direct way," said Caitlin Nolan, co-curator and a printmaking graduate student. "Because of the tumultuous political situation in Oaxaca many ASARO artists remain anonymous and would have great difficulty bringing their work out of the country for exhibition."
Seldom seen in the United States, ASARO's remarkable woodblock prints are part of Mexico's long tradition of popular revolutionary art. The artists sell woodblock prints for 100 pesos, roughly $10, in Oaxaca's zocalo, or the public square. ASARO's main objective, however, is to use the artwork in activist statements that highlight injustice and the turmoil of the area.
ASARO's acts have included creating paper stencils of an arrested comrade and painting her portrait over the walls of the historic city center. The group also printed 3-foot-tall woodblock prints of goose-stepping police monsters on tissue paper. By dawn a chorus line of mutant police was pasted to a cathedral's wall.
The exhibit was curated by Nolan and Kevin McCloskey, a professor at the Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, where the prints are on loan from its collection.
The exhibit will conclude on Oct. 9 with a lecture and reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Both events are free and open to the public. The gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Chris Powell ruled out for 3 weeks
Watford defender Chris Powell has been ruled out for three weeks with a calf injury.
The former England defender, who celebrated his 37th birthday on Friday, was ruled out of the trip to the Reebok stadium because of the injury that he picked up in training last week.
Jordan Stewart, who was first-choice left-back last season, will be hoping to keep his place in the team after impressing during Saturday`s 1-0 defeat an the hands of Bolton Wanderers.
Meanwhile, the now injury-prone Clarke Carlisle is recovering from a chest infection while goalkeeper Scot Loach has been ruled out until Christmas after breaking a metatarsal in his right foot in training.

Just a simple post. I had the super user badge and I was very proud of it. I realize that one is not supposed to work for badges but it was nice to have a badge that recognized my commitment to the community and the time I had spent on it. Now I don't have it today even though I had it yesterday? I have done something wrong? Or are these badges very lucrative to the amount of time you spend on Codecademy? Just was wondering why this happened and if possible an explanation would be nice.
A Badge Demoted? Why?
this badge is for TL3
from here:
i guess if you can lose TL3, you can lose the badge as well
Hmmm. Ok then. That is quite saddening to hear. I understand the concept and I would probably do the same to ensure active users have the badge. I guess it must have been since I was not very active over the holidays with Thanksgiving and my two week grace period was over 3 days ago since I got the badge 17 days ago according to my notifications. I realize that me and an admin got into a debate/argument yesterday since we disagreed I didn't know if I went to far in that discussion and thus lost that or what. So thank you and maybe I can get back to that xD Something about having Super in your name is very attractive
i think if you will be active for a few days, you will earn it back

7 The OSGi Alliance The OSGi Alliance is an independent non-profit corporation comprised of technology innovators and developers and focused on the interoperability of applications and services based on its component integration platform. Established in 1999, members worldwide Service Providers Membership spans many industries Auto Makers Device Manufacturers Residential, Automotive, Industrial, Mobile, Enterprise IT Providers OSGi Alliance ISV Membership information at Solution Providers Developers Others 7
8 What is OSGi Technology? OSGi technology is a dynamic module system for Java OSGi technology is component-based OSGi technology is service-oriented OSGi offers standardized ways to dynamically manage the lifcycle of software on the Java platform updates of software no longer require a restart of the JVM!

12 One slide from the OSGi Congress 2003: As usual, new technology takes more time to get adopted than the enthusiasts want to believe: Example: First work group meeting was held in 1990, broad market acceptance was not until around 2001 Corollary: The OSGi World Congress in 2009 will be spectacular! :-) 12
13 The evolution of the OSGi technology ?!
14 The residential OSGi market Three reasons why the residential OSGi market can resurrect: BOM for a R/G is now 1/6 of the price Wireless devices / sensors Broadband penetration 14
15 The e-ebox set the original requirements In the e-box we wanted a: Platform Java based Load software / services / applications dynamically Multiple Service Providers can co-exist Integrity between applications, no sneaking Remotely managed And the result was OSGi R1! So the platform designed for the intelligent fridge is now becoming a corner stone in JEE app servers. Without any major makeover / redesign 15

17 What is OSGi Technology? OSGi Technology is currently based on Java Java provides a high degree of platform independence Abstracts Hardware Architectures Abstracts Operating Systems JNI links Java and the native platform Java lacks a good module/component system! Java lacks dynamism - updates of software require a restart of the JVM! 17
18 What is OSGi Technology? OSGi technology is a dynamic module system for Java OSGi technology is Universal Middleware OSGi technology provides a service-oriented, componentbased environment for developers and offers standardized ways to manage the software lifecycle. These capabilities greatly increase the value of a wide range of computers and devices that use the Java platform. Addresses the lack of a good module system and lack of dynamism in the Java platform OSGi Class Loaders on Steroids 18
19 OSGi Remote Manageability OSGi is specifically designed with an eye towards remote management of networked services OSGi is management protocol agnostic meaning it fits in several different markets that each prefer their own protocols This is achieved by providing access to neccesary resources and functionalities inside the framework to Management Agents Management Agents implement management protocols 19
20 What does OSGi specify? Core - The framework and system services A general purpose middleware software platform Service-oriented, component-based Security and platform management related system services A Compendium of Services Different subsets of these services are relevant for different markets A subset can be formalized as a profile E.g. Mobile Profile, Vehicle Profile 20
21 Where is OSGi used? It can be used almost everywhere Java is used Used in desktop applications Eclipse Lotus Notes Used in embedded environments Mobiles Printers Telematics Used on server side Enterprise Application containers (J2EE) 21
22 Software Architecture 22
23 The OSGi framework The base - runs multiple applications and services Single VM instance Separate class loader per bundle Class loader network Independent namespaces Class sharing at the Java package level Lifecycle management Install, Start, Stop, Uninstall, etc. Versioning Multiple versions of same packages/classes can co-exist Intra VM publish/find/bind service model Operational Control Java Permissions to secure framework 23
24 Framework Layering SERVICE MODEL L3 Provides a publish/find/bind service model to decouple bundles LIFECYCLE L2 - Manages the lifecycle of bundle in a bundle repository without requiring the VM be restarted MODULE L1 - Creates the concept of modules (aka. bundles) that use classes from each other in a controlled way according to system and bundle constraints Execution Environment CDC CDC L0 - OSGi Minimum Execution Environment CDC/Foundation J2SE 24
25 Concepts of OSGi - bundles Bundles A plain jar-file with a special format manifest file Java code Resources Native code Internationalization Loaded into the framework 25
26 Concepts of OSGi - collaboration Bundle collaboration Sharing Java packages Exporting packages Importing packages Services Ways to get notified with bundles are installed, started, etc Isolation, own name space per bundle 26
27 Concepts of OSGi - class loaders Each bundle has its own class loader to: Provide integrity beween bundles Avoid namespace collisions A bundle class loader can only load classes from: The system class loader Imported packages The bundle s jar file 27
28 Concepts of OSGi - class loaders A bundle can export Java packages. Framework determines the actual exporter if several bundles offer the same package. The exporter with the highest specification version for the package will be the first candidate. A bundle with no specification version will be the last export candidate. A bundle can import Java packages from other bundles. If the package is not exported, the importing bundle cannot be resolved and is not started. To use classes imported from another bundle, use the regular import clause in the Java code. Imports and exports are stated in a bundles manifest. 28
29 Concepts of OSGi Manifest file Manifest-Version: 1.0 Ant-Version: Apache Ant Created-By: 1.4.2_11-b06 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)

30 Concepts of OSGi Manifest The framework guarantees that only classes that are declared in the manifest as imported or exported can be used as such. No sneaking No unvoulantary leaking The manifest can be inspected prior to installing by an administrator Bring in 3 rd party lib => inspect it first! 30
31 Concepts of OSGi bundle management Bundle primitives Install <=> load the bundle into the framework Start <=> start the bundle by calling a predefined method Stop <=> stop the bundle by calling a predefined method Uninstall <=> remove the bundle from the framework Update <=> update the code of the bundle (without restarting JVM) 31
32 Concepts of OSGi - Services Services A means for inter-bundle communication A means for providing functionality Dynamic publish/find/bind service model A service registered under one or more Java interfaces OSGi defines a number of standard services X.sayHello() Bundle A Bundle B Bundle C Publish service X Framework Get service X 32
33 OSGi Service Platform Overview HTTP HTTP server server Log Log Config Config admin admin + + Pref. Pref. Device Device Access Access User User admin admin Service Service Admin Admin JVM Register Register Lookup Lookup Active Bundle Active Bundle Start Start Install Bundle Bundle File File (JAR) (JAR) Native Service Registry OSGi Service Platform Bundles 33

35 OSGi & Remote Management The OSGi technology enables remote management But it does not dictate how to do it (so far) I.e. there is no management protocol defined (except OSGi MEG) Instead the model assumes a Management Agent This is a bundle that is the link between the OSGi platform and its management system 35
36 OSGi & Remote Management OSGi MEG defines an OMA-DM based provisioning through a management agent But it is not enforced, and the model is completely flexible. Arbitrary agents can be installed supporting any protocol! Application Manager OMA-DM bundle provisioning Management Agent (OMA-DM) Log Service HTTP Serice Preferences CM Service CM Service CM Service OSGi Framework But voices have been raised saying that a std protocol is a missing feature! 36

41 OSGi open source adoption Significant open source adoption Three open source projects / implementations of the OSGi specification (R4) Equinox / Eclipse Felis / Apache (Oscar) Knopflerfish / Makewave Used by several other open source projects Spring DM Important to understand The OSGi Alliance maintaines the spec, and certifies for compliance The open source projects are implementations of the spec. I.e. the implementation is not the spec!! 41
42 Programming with OSGi Pros Easy to get going Dynamic Non-stop applications Basic functionality for free (standard services) A new level of modularization (bundles) Cons Dynamic 42
43 Programming with OSGi What if I don t care about dynamics, service lookup etc.? One application, one vendor, one installation By using OSGi in any Java based system the modules/services often just falls into the right place. See the OSGi design philosophy as your guide to designing modular java applications. 43
44 Some examples Hello World package com.makewave.bundle.example.hello_world; import org.osgi.framework.*; public class HelloWorld implements BundleActivator { } /** * Bundle is starting */ public void start(final BundleContext bc) { System.out.println("\n*** Hello World!\n\tHere I am\n"); } /** * Bundle is stopping */ public void stop(bundlecontext bc) { System.out.println("\n*** Hello World!\n\tI bid you farewell\n"); } 44
45 What is the whiteboard model A service offers addlistener and removelistener methods Instead define a listener interface that other bundles use to register in the framework to create a listener design Now the framework takes care of the house-keeping when bundles come and go and This can be thought of as inversion of control. 45
46 Using the white board model The telematics R&D project called GST defined the concept of an Application Manager (Service Browser) The desktop of the in-vehicle system The component / service through which the end-user can manage applications from within the CVIS host 46
47 A telematics application manager 47
48 The white board model applied Bundles that has a GUI registers an App.View service in the registry. The bunde is not aware of the appl.mngr, has not registered a addactivatelistener(mylistener). App.View HMI / drawing area of App4 Client Desktop App3 App4 App1 App.View App2 Application Manager App.mngr picks upp all applications that implement the ApplicationView service and calls methods in the ApplicationView interface OSGi 48
49 An example of a bundle using this package org.cvisproject.service.hello_cvis.impl; import java.util.dictionary; import java.util.hashtable; import org.osgi.framework.bundleactivator; import org.osgi.framework.bundlecontext; import org.osgi.framework.serviceregistration; import com.makewave.service.appmanager.applicationview; public class Activator implements BundleActivator { private BundleContext context; private ServiceRegistration viewregistration; private View view; public void start(bundlecontext context) { this.context = context; view = new View(context.getBundle()); Dictionary properties = new Hashtable(); properties.put(applicationview.application_id, view.getviewid()); viewregistration = context.registerservice(applicationview.class.getname(), view, properties); } public void stop(bundlecontext context) { viewregistration.unregister(); } 49

54 OSGi in desktop eclipse Eclipse is fundamentally based on a plug-in model Up until release 2 of Eclipse they lacked dynamics restart required! In release 3 of eclipse they moved to an OSGi based architecture Runs an OSGi framework All plug-ins are bundles OSGi is still hidden inside eclipse, but is becoming more and more visible 54
55 OSGi in the server side Spring OSGi Spring has added support for OSGi such that a Spring application can be deployed in an OSGi environment. Benefits of using Spring OSGi for enterprise applications Better separation of application logic into modules The ability to deploy multiple versions of a module concurrently The ability to dynamically discover and use services provided by other modules in the system The ability to dynamically deploy, update and undeploy modules in a running system Use of the Spring Framework to instantiate, configure, assemble, and decorate components within and across modules. A simple and familiar programming model for enterprise developers to exploit the features of the OSGi platform. 55
56 OSGi in the desktop / server side John Kellerman IBM product manager:...ibm today consumes and redistributes 15 projects from Eclispe in over 350 products... The whole Lotus suite is now running OSGi for instance... 56

Los Comales in Chicago
Los Comales in Chicago which there are several of them located in Chicago. The restaurant that I love the most is located near downtown and I have been going there for more than four years. The reason that i love this restaurant is that they serve the best tacos ever on top of the tacos they have side dishes which usually comes in another seperate plate. Is not that expensive and is worth your money. On the weekends they play mariachi or a band and is something that my family enjoys while we eat and talk. Is a smaller restaurant and not a lot of people know about this place because the majority of people who live there are non hispanics. But a lot of people that I had recommended still go there after all these years and they love it especially their tacos.

Saw this in the "blaze orange tarp" thread -- has anyone tried it?
I could get the 12' for $40 if I use my credit card points. And it would be lighter than the Sportman's Gear tarp, if I believe what Cabela's says. But not stealthy at all. The main objective is to get a starter tarp for 2 hangers at a decent weight and price.
