WE'RE TALKIN' BASKETBALL: Wolverine Is The Most Overrated X-Man

Michigan Wolverines at Iowa Hawkeyes, Feb 16, 2010 8:05 PM CST
In many ways, hockey in Canada is like basketball in Iowa. It's associated with frigid temperatures, it's enjoyed by white people exclusively, and everyone gets excited on the rare occasion that somebody actually shoots and scores--if we're lucky, four times in one game.
Time for a crucial game between the Wolverines and the Hawkeyes. Scoff if you must--lord knows we did--but there's some small postseason implications at play. Iowa and Indiana are tied at three wins in the conference, and the first to four likely sews up the 8 or 9 seed--that would probably be Michigan if Iowa beats them here. The 7 is probably Northwestern or Minnesota, and... actually, you know what? Nobody's going to give a shit after none of the bottom six teams make it to the semifinals. But let's play this thing anyway.
No slurs, no porno, no links to watching online, and fuck Michigan. Big Ten Network. Let's do this.

It speaks volumes about NBC's handling of the Olympics
… that I find this more interesting than what they’re showing now (a mix of tape-delayed snowboarding and speed skating and live figure skating). Hockey is, for some reason, relegated to CNBC.
Why the hell would NBC want to show live hockey?
It’s not like they have rights to the Stanley Cup or anything.

Curling is awesome.
I fell in love with it back at the 02 Olympics, I think. I was quite happy to find that there was curling on when I got home from work today. Until the US team biffed it at the end, anyway…
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
It's shuffleboard on ice
And yet it’s strangely entertaining. Used to be a good Sunday afternoon filler either in the NFL offseason or when the only available game was the Lions. (We got CBC in the dorms.)
You won't believe what they're showing on Sunday instead of Canada-USA
Ice dancing. Not even figure skating, but figure skating’s bastard ginger stepchild.

I assume it's on one of NBC's cable partners?

CNBC, I think
And in a shocking turn of events, even NBC wasn’t dumb enough to tape-delay it.
(Come to think of it, maybe that’s why it’s on cable – because NBC tape delays everything on their main network out west. Despite the fact that the games are occurring in the same time zone.)
CNBC? Meh.
I was hoping for Bravo or Lifetime for the most cognitive dissonance possible.

You're talking to someone who grew up in Minnesota

Okay, most-watched American sport worldwide
Still don’t buy that for a second, but that’s somewhat more plausible.
Also irrelevant, unless NBC is televising the Olympics for a Slovakian audience as well.

Nice to see, although his ranking has probably been the most volatile of anyone’s this year, among Iowa guys. Probably because he keeps following up big wins with head-scratching performances; hopefully he cuts that out this weekend.

Most of you probably don't care...
And anyone that does care probably heard,
UNI clinched the MVC reg season title tonight by beating Creighton, 70-52 in Cedar Falls.
I was at the game. It is an impressive win considering UNI did not have Jordan Egleseder because of Egleseder’s recent DUI arrest.
