Tweet Season Wrap-Up   The season is over for the 2012-2013 University of Michigan men’s basketball team, and it was a good one. If the last 10 minutes of the National Championship game in the NCAA Tournament had played out a little better, it would have been an exceptional season, but it was still a …

Tweet After a 3 year gap with no national championships for Michigan, they have now won 2 in the last 3 weeks. Three weeks ago (03/30/2013), the men’s swimming and diving team won the national championship, and yesterday (04/20/2013) the men’s gymnastics team won another one.

I have mixed feelings about the game, and the season. On the one hand, I’m very proud of the team and how hard they played to get to the Championship Game, but on the other hand, I’m disappointed that they couldn’t seal the deal. If you look back over the last 14 years of articles, you’ll see that I very seldom blame a loss on poor officiating, and I’m trying hard to avoid that in this case, but it’s difficult.

His comments about Michigan over the years haven’t done much to win over his detractors. I should know, as I’ve carried around a lot of bitterness towards Webber since his role in the booster scandal became evident. But his mistakes now are over 20 years in past. It’s time to let it go. I doubt he’s the same person who made the wrong decisions back then. And while I can’t imagine myself ever actively cheering for him, I’m done rooting against him.
