(Central-PA) Thu, 19 Mar 2009 18:55:02 +0000 http://www.block-c.com/?p=4008#comment-9569 Good luck to you Clemson folk. To be sure, at tip off, with Michigan circled around the center of a real-life (really, you mean this isn't a dream?) NCAA tournament court, my eyes will be taking in that sight for the first time since the birth of my University of Michigan fandom (I arrived in Ann Arbor for undergrad in 2001). That's some exciting stuff. And--since your fanbase seems both friendly and understanding of our recent plight (because your coach, in a way, accomplished the same things for Clemson that we are beginning to thank Beilein for doing for Michigan)--I'm glad we're facing off against one another today. Best wishes members of the Block C, with an obligatory "Go Blue", for good measure. Good luck to you Clemson folk.

In terms of who I've come into contact with I'd say it's been about 60/40. Anyways it doesn't matter...The only reason Clemson fans aren't talking a lot of trash is because none of them are very confident in their team right now. Michigan played very well out of conference, going toe to toe with the best team in the Big East. They don't turn the ball over and are very well coached. We HAVE to use our size to our advantage, outrebound, and feed the ball to Booker so we can get the outside game going as well. That's the only way to win. Fair enough Willy.

Win or lose, I just hope we show up. We haven't played well lately, and I'd hate for us to tank it in this game. I wonder how much the ref's will have an impact on the game. It seems that different conferences have different types of fouls called. How long do you guys think it takes a team to adapt to that? Just a thought, probably not worth the effort it took to type it. @4, I’m sure Sunshine is disappointed.

I'm sure they get a lot of t-shirts like most big programs but all the ones I've come in contact with are nice and knowledgeable. And no, I'm not trying to blow sunshine here. @2 – I gotta disagree about Michigan fans.

It was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game like you wouldn't believe. Win lose or draw, this is going to be a hell of a game between to evenly matched squads. Size, shooting, coaching, everything seems to point to a really good contest. CU - to answer the next question, who the third scorer is, it'll be LLP, Douglass or Novak. that's how it's worked all season. Douglass was the hero against UCLA. Novak against Duke. LLP against Minnesota in a must win. They're all capable of going batshit from behind the arc. But whether they do will determine the outcome of the game. Like you said, if it's just Sims and Harris, you guys move on. But if we get scoring from someone other than those two, we'll be in good shape. No matter what, it's gonna be fun tomorrow.

They've been talking mad shit. But these guys are cool. I agree with the first question's answer for sure...if Michigan finds a 3rd scorer for this game...we're fucking toast. Both of those dudes are future NBA talent. Actually most Michigan fans at work, on the internet, and on the radio are assholes. They’ve been talking mad shit. But these guys are cool.

I'm glad they were open to opposing interviews for this matchup; there have been some asshole-ish people in the past who have ignored such requests (I think that Nebraska did that for the bowl game). Most opponents will talk smack, but the corn beer guys do it with a little more class. Those guys have a great website over there.
