The hope is that Tuesday was rock bottom for the Michigan Wolverines after getting absolutely manhandled by Purdue. While this season started off with last year’s trend of close losses continuing to frustrate, that has given way to good old-fashioned blowouts. More defeats are sure to come, but hopefully there will be at least a little dignity.
To get us through the final 12 regular season games, I will be calling upon “The Office” for post titles. Leading off is Season 3’s Grief Counseling, which feels appropriate after back-to-back blowouts. There is no funeral for a bird here, but it is a safe space to grieve this lost season — and perhaps long for the John Beilein era, which feels like a distant memory.
