Random Thoughts 2/8/08

• The Tigers got a huge bargain when they resigned Curtis Granderson earlier this week. Granderson's deal will keep him a Tiger into 2012, and possibly '13 if the Tigers pick up his option. If he waited until next season, Granderson could have been a $10 million dollar a year player now.

• {Insert Me saying that I don't hate MSU} If I am a Sparty, I am very disappointed at the offseason that MSU coach Mark Dantonio has engineered. The combination of new coach smell and the Michigan coaching search debacle should have lead Michigan State to starting a new breed of domination in intra-Michigan recruiting. However, Dantonio finished with a measly 7th in the Big Ten in recruiting.

• Michigan head basketball coach John Belien may have the ugliest style of basketball I've ever seen. His idea of lack of rebounding and defense alongside low percentage shots make for some moments of deep, deep depression.
