Because of cbs.com I am able to watch the Michigan game online!!! so right now I am up at 6:30am drinking Vietnamese green tea smoking Thuoc Lao (the vietnamese pipe) and watching my alma mater here is a break down of my thoughts
6:39am WOOO HOO! Michigan is up 17-13 and hitting threes all over the place
6:46am closer now 22-20…
6:47am tied… Come on blue we have waited 11 years DO IT FOR BO!
6:54am Forcing turnovers and sinking baskets w00t!
6:56am UP AT THE HALF HAIL TO THE VICTORS!!!
7:00am Nothing but praise for the Wolverines from commentators
7:11am Second half about to begin, don’t get cocky guys keep up the good work
7:15am ahh the fight song first time I have heard it in months da da da da da daaah da da da, da da da da da daaah da da da, da da, da da, da da bum da bum hail to the victors valiant hail to the conquering heroes hail hail to Michigan the Leaders and best (let’s go blue) hail to the victors valiant hail to the conquering heroes hail hail to Michigan the champions of the west!
7:20am “9-2 run to open the second half It’s been 11 years and the wolverines are feeling it!!!!”
7:24am Clemson is looking very patriotic the the American flag patches… too bad it isn’t helping their game much
7:26am up 41-28 Michigan, Clemson player whose name I can’t spell out… Awesome!
7:30am still up 13, but 15 minutes left, as a true blue Michigan fan, I am still pretty nervous.
7:35am Boom goes the dynamite!
7:40am Michigan D very impressive
7:47am Clemson keeping up the pressure, don’t let them get to you guys
7:52am now is not the time to be getting fouls…
7:54am lead cut to 7… let’s go guys
7:58am up by 8 with the ball, how about something other than typical Michigan basketball where we screw everything up
8:02am SIMS FOR THE THREE!
8:05am up 15 looking good
8:07am cut to 9 slow down and play the clock already!
8:09am Christ, this isn’t looking so good any more 58-52
8:14am I really hate that I care about sports sometimes
8:16am so we might blow this
8:17am minute left, turn over, shit
8:21am And one! up 4
8:22am 27 sec left up 2
8:24am up three 13 sec
8:25am WE WIN!!!! 62-59 it’s great to be a Michigan Wolverine!!!
Will we get much further? probably not but that was great fun! Here is why Americans don’t care about soccer it is 90 minutes, as opposed to 40 and there is a chance that not a single goal will be scored, but with basketball, every second is exciting.
PS This is pretty much what goes through my head during every Michigan game ever… glad when we go up but apprehensive we will blow it

Ever wonder why most of the world does think soccer is great. Only Americans do not seem to interested in watching it. Even if now more kids play soccer in the USA than any other of the superposed BIG sports.
