Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports We’ve all heard of the bad boyfriend. He tells you he’s going to be better. He tells you that he’s improved and that he can make this work. You decide to get back together with him or stay with him despite your better judgment because you think maybe this time will […]

Thank You, Michigan Football
With a 49-24 victory over the Golden Gophers, a little bit of normalcy returned to Saturdays in Ann Arbor. I tailgated with friends (in my place of residence), analyzed the betting lines and which team was favored to win, and screamed in front of the TV when Zach Charbonnet’s 70-yard touchdown changed the trajectory of […]
2016 in Review: Another Blown Call
For many, 2016 was simply a year to forget. Riddled with the passing of iconic celebrities, continued tensions in the Middle East, and, of course, the election of business magnate and always-controversial Donald Trump, this year has done more to dishearten and divide the American public since “Dressgate”. However, if sports are your passion, 2016 […]
U of M Freshman Dorm Sends Message to Ohio State
Michigan students have a message for Ohio State University: “Fuck OSU.” The three story tall message, spelled out in lit up windows, appeared late on Monday night on the street facing side of Mary Markley Residence Hall, a freshman dorm. The coordinated effort by the residents involved working with all of the rooms facing the […]
Looking Forward: Michigan Football’s 2016 Class
Michigan Football seems to be on track to return to its former glory, and the 2016 class looks to add to this legacy. From offensive weapons to defensive titans, this class has it all–including a potential for growth amongst the few quarterbacks signed.
Fire Dave Brandon? Not So Fast
Contra rallies in the Diag, not all of the students at the University of Michigan want Dave Brandon fired. I did not sign the petition calling for his dismissal nor did I participate in the protest calling for his termination, because both measures are imprudent, if not extreme, measures (Coach Hoke is another story). Although […]
Firing Hoke: A Financial Non-Factor
The University of Michigan tends to spend money on some fairly outrageous things that the student body does not necessarily want or care about – i.e. spending $400,000 to relocate a tree. Tuesday’s rally and petition, however, made one thing abundantly clear – we want Brady Hoke and Dave Brandon fired. While the state of […]
FOOTBALL FALLOUT: STUDENTS PROTEST TO FIRE DAVE BRANDON
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Hundreds of students rallied at the Diag on Tuesday evening to protest Michigan Athletic Director Dave Brandon in light of his department’s handling of the Shane Morris injury. Morris, who wasn’t taken out of Saturday’s game versus Minnesota despite nearly fainting after taking a brutal hit, is now said to have […]
The Athletic Department Gets it Right with the New Football Student Seating Policy
Central Student Government and the athletic department have put together a new football student seating system beginning next season that should solve many of the problems regarding student attendance at home football games. The package addresses the incentives to not only attend the games but also to arrive early, while accommodating students’ most pressing desire: […]
Michigan’s New Big Time Football Hire Restores the Energy Around the Program after a Disappointing 2013
On Thursday January 9th, only a day after the announcement that offensive coordinator Al Borges would not be returning in 2014, Michigan announced the hiring of their new offensive coordinator, Doug Nussmeier. The move was quite a surprise and the speed at which it was executed was quite impressive for a program that has struggled […]
