Michigan Info

Michigan basketball had flight troubles today and are still in Ann Arbor. They will fly out tomorrow at 6am for a noon game in DC against Illinois. I think the travel snafu has potential to screw up the rhythm. I have alread placed a larger bet on Illinois. Just passing on info.

To be more clear, their plane actually crashed on take off. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

Crashed is a strong word I think. Very windy in Michigan yesterday. Wind blew plane off runaway on takeoff, so takeoff was aborted. No injuries, well...no physical injuries. I would have literally shit my pants I think. Take-off is my least favorite part of a flight.

Per Twitter, plane landed about 2 hours ago.

And...you are right and I am wrong. Crash seems to be the correct word. Just heard the story from a coworker...pilot knew it wasn't going well and hit brakes, ran out of runway and swerved, through a fence and bellied out in an embankment...cuts and bruises but nothing major.

Looked good today in their practice jerseys regardless.

I was dead wrong.

Ah, what the hell. Push in the buds and listen to some good tunes, I am, LOL. It was an intriguing angle, and yep, I played it, but with anything in life, sometimes ya win, sometimes ya lose. GL
