Mazi Smith situation is a Real bad look for Michigan coming off tunnel gate and campaigning for criminal charges for Msu players. Smith should not have been playing with a gun charge hanging over his head for the last 7 weeks. #MichiganFootball #B1G

ESPN should check the tape of what Isiah did to Stockton in ‘92. He torched him, made him look silly and out of his league. And that was at the end of Zekes career. Come on man! Do your due diligence. Stockton and Nash won jack. Isiah repeated in an era when nobody repeated.
