At the gym minding my own business talking to another Wolverine when two Sparties inserted themselves into our conversation. "best" things I heard:
* The reason the hook and hold took so longer was refs were waiting for Big Ten office, which is trying to keep its No. 1 seed (Michigan) intact.
* Michigan played bully ball down low and got away with it. Whenever MSU tries that they get called for everything.
* When the NCAA reins in NIL, Michigan is screwed because Dusty May doesn't know how to recruit and Izzo does.
* Michigan talks so much trash all game long and never gets whistled for it but the FIRST time Izzo yells he gets a T. (That one really made me laugh)
* Every 50-50 call went Michigan's way. Again, part of a conference conspiracy. Said you could see it coming a mile away when they let U-M get away with an offensive foul against Nebraska.
I just kept laughing and when one guy said to me, "you're laughing because you know it's all true." I responded, 'When I was a kid playing Little League my dad told me when you win a game the only ones that do the talking are the losers."

Izzo is 71...does he even want to recruit anymore with Michigan looking large in the state and not having NIL figured out well. I wonder how long he will keep doing this...?

Funny on your first point... I said to my boys the reason the hook and hold call was taking so long (because replay showed it was the correct call) was because they were arguing about who was drawing the short straw and had to tell Izzo that there was going to be a hook and hold, 2 FT and the ball, and no foul on Yax and no official wanted to take that heat.
