Plane carrying Michigan's basketball team slides off runway into ditch

[cliftonparksufan]

Fortunately no one injured and hope they are ok. Hopefully they packed extra boxers because some probably dropped some deuces. The winds were terrible. Over 850,000 in Michigan lost power. Glad I didn't have to fly anywhere today. A very scary situation.

It's been crazy. Like 50-60 mph winds all day. Still going on. I'm in Detroit yesterday and today. A giant 5o ft pine tree completely uprooted and toppled onto my parked car in the driveway next door. 700,000 just in the DET area lost power.

Pretty windy in WNY as well...tractor trailers blowing over, trees uprooted, train derailment(?)

Just mostly dead. They've been mostly dead all season.

If Crabbe gets hot, they could get right back in this

As a further explanation, everything that was on the plane, including their uniforms, is being held as part of the accident investigation. Thus wearing the practice uniforms.

Great human interest story. From plane crash to B1G champions. They were very lucky. How far will it take them in the big tourney.
