Michigan who struggled early in the season in non conference play made a statement in conference play today by defeating #15 ranked Ohio State 73-64.

Well, since this is a local sports blog, let’s start with the surprising 3-3 record of the Big Ten Conference Bowl Teams including a win by Ohio State (much to this Michigan fan’s chagrin) against an extremely talented Oregon team in the “Granddaddy of Them All”, the [...]

The past few days in college football are perhaps the most exciting for me as a fan of the sport. I am not a fan of a potential playoff system and I feel that if every conference could settle their own business on the field, i.e. a championship game, than both the bowl [...]

Like a Hulk Hogan leg drop leading to a 1, 2, 3 count, for the past ten years you could count on the ACC dominating the Big Ten/Acc Challenge. This year was at last a little different with the Big Ten Conference mustering up a win in the series 6 games to 5. [...]

Remember the days when our football weekend was defined by dominance on Saturday followed by a day of ineptitude?

Where is the football? Most likely it is in the hands of an opponent wearing the scarlet and grey of The Ohio State University who prevailed 21-10 over the Michigan Wolverines this afternoon with the home team Wolverines coughing up the ball five times to the Buckeye D. Ohio State is now the [...]

On the heels of the Big Ten Conference announcing that they will participate with the Big 12 Conference over at least the next two seasons in a conference challenge much like on the men’s side with the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, it is time to give the ladies their due and preview the season [...]

After taking a beating in Madison Wisconsin against the Badgers, Michigan Wolverine fans, players, coaches, alumni, and everyone that has anything associated with the program just has to feel let down.
