The Top 10 Things Michigan Wolverines Fans Should Do During the NCAA Tournament

Since today the NCAA basketball tournament is kicking off and Michigan is at home with a losing record after making the tournament in 2009, I thought I would lend a hand to fellow Wolverines needing something to focus on during these next three weeks.

So whether you're tracking a bracket, betting on games, or just watching for the fun of it, here are 10 things you can do during the tournament.

10. Start a “Please Stay Manny” web site.

9. Start a “Please come to Ann Arbor Trey Zeigler” web site.

8. Root for West Virginia because with some TPP that could be Michigan in a few years. TPP = Time, Patience, and Players. I guess you better put an R in there somewhere as well. R= Recruiting.

7. Have your “I love Zack Novak" tattoo removed. Be glad you didn’t go with Agent 0 like you first wanted.

6. Wonder out loud if David Brandon can turn the Michigan basketball and football programs around like he turned around Domino’s Pizza crust.

5. Root for the Big Ten in the tournament. Even though Ohio State and Michigan State are Michigan rivals, there is always revenue sharing!

4. Write an email to Coach Rod asking if Mike Cox really has a 45-inch vertical, and can he walk on to the basketball team next year? That has to be good for 70 blocked shots next year. (Is it wrong that I mentioned Mike's last name and talked about length in the same sentence? Yes, I believe it is.)

3. Stop using the logic that if Evan Turner's shot goes wide against Michigan that U of M would have won the Big Tournament.

2. Make travel plans to Europe to scout any 18-year-old that is over 6'10".

1. Sell your Final Four tickets in Indy that you ordered last year on eBay (after Michigan made it to the second round and beat Duke and UCLA in the regular season), and don’t forget to cancel your hotel reservations.
