OT: MIchigan Sports Thread: UM wins Natty Championship

[guinness]

The recent thread over Ozzie and the HHOF has me thinking a much more clear cut case...what/why/how is Lou Whitaker not in baseball's HOF?

I think someone like Jack Norris is honestly 'eh', to be in, but for a sport that can be statistically analysed forward, backwards, dead ball era adjusted, I don't get it.

I love Sweet Lou:
Batting: Above Average-Great (for a 2B)
Fielding: Above average-Great
Awards: ROY, 5 AS, 4 SS, 3GG, '84 WS
WAR: 81st out of every MLB player ever. Only people who have a better WAR than him and is not in the HOF are Pete Rose (obvious), Barry Bonds (obvious), Schilling (obvious), Clemens (obvious), A-Rod (obvious), slew of active players, then two old timey players who played in the 1800s.

Lou should be in.

Baseball writers are and have forever been idiots. If he played for the Yankees, Redsox or Dodgers he would in in HOF.

My current mood

It's a real shame he won't be healthy for the opener, I think it could've been our most exciting one in quite some time. It will still be fun to watch the other kids though I suppose.

Frozen Four or bust

I think anything less would have to be considered abject failure. So far they've played up their hype. They just beat 2 of last years Frozen Four teams back to back. Not many teams lay a smackdown on Duluth like that either.

Frozen Four or bust

National Championship or bust. They have a hockey team, this season, equal to Alabama in football. There is zero reason they should not win a Natty. Anything less is a massive choke job with who they have on the team.

Sadly the pistons didn’t have a Cunningham tonight

Anyone gone to a Michigan hockey game yet this year? How did you get tickets? I wonder if it's difficult to do so.

All games are sold out. Need to check second party sites.

How many games do we allow until we can fairly say Killian Hayes won't ever be what we hoped? Half a season? A full season?

Yeah it's getting pretty bleak isn't it? Still a solid draft with Bey and Stewart, but it looks like Hayes just can't score against NBA competition.

He'll definitely get a long chance to play through it this season, so I'm not sure I can put a number of games on it, but it's not looking great for Killian at the moment.

This. Feels like every game. Every freaking game.

Correa to Yanks? Ranking MLB's billion-dollar class of free-agent shortstops -- and where each might land

ESPN's evaluators obviously see the Tigers as a safe choice for one of the five top SS FAs and as frontrunner for Correa. I could definitely live with that.

The emotion of success and failure in a split second.

Get ready for the waterworks. Well deserved. The Ford's did something right for once:

The way Tork and Greene looked this year, dominating anywhere they were, the Tigers could be really solid next year. I will actually be really surprised if the Tigers dont land one of these shortstops. I know tey havent spent money lately, but now is the time at a crucial position that theyre weak at. There wont be a short stop group like this for a while

I really miss those 90's Lions.

These Broncos are giving us the business tonight

Took me a minute.

Lions? Nope. College Football? Nope. Hockey? Yup. Michigan Hockey? Yup. Oof. 2-5. Ranking will take a hit I assume?
