Title: MEMO to my boy ERIK BUGGS from TREY BURKE: how to defend Keith Appling
Post by: LaPorteAveApostle on March 18, 2013, 06:32:58 AM
1)  whenever Appling spins, he puts it in his right hand.  SO easy to steal his ice cream that way.

2)  make a really EEEEEE!!! happy face when you do so.  i hear you're good at that.

3)  the only part you'll want/need to work on is the dunk at the end. but i s'pose that's optional.

4)  BONUS GARY HARRIS PROTIP:  you can make steals on him by sagging off at just the right time to anticipate his blatantly obvious passing.

I don't think Valpo needs advice from anyone associated with Michigan. Michigan doesn't even have a Sweet Sixteen appearance since 1994. Valpo's been there more recently.

Great research!  I'm sure the coaches read this forum all the time and will get Erik to look at it long and hard!  Seriously, I doubt Appling has seen a defender as quick as Erik.  If we run we can negate some of their size advantage.  It will be an interesting coaching choice:  Play Bobby to try and match size or play Ben more for another outside shot and faster lineup.  My guess is we'll see Erik, LaVonte/Will, Ryan, Matt and Kevin a lot with Bobby getting playing time to spell Kevin or if Kevin gets into foul trouble.

He played in the B1G and as much as I love Buggs, Burke is better than Erik, and Appling also played that really good team down in Coral Gables.

Michigan State went to the Final Four 3 years ago.

STL, I love you, man, but you're a little confused about what's happening here...

OK, whatever.  I think I got it, but I'm really not sure, not that it matters.

Dude, he posted pictures from Michigan's win over MSU... literally Michigan's Super Bowl and only thing they accomplished this year besides wearing Zubaz and highlighter jerseys.

Erik Buggs and Valpo should never listen to anything that comes from that clown program.

And a Spartan fan would never be prejudiced against the Wolverines (I bet you even hate that X-men movie because of the character's name).  Since you are both from Michigan.   :)
