Michigan State and Michigan basketball fans obviously butt heads a lot. (Ditto for football, hockey and every other sport). It's a very heated rivalry to say the least. Michigan basketball fans tastelessly defacing the Magic Johnson statue in the week leading up to the football game between the two schools is the latest classic example. However, tomorrow will see Michigan … [Read more...] about Protest against Governor planned at Michigan St-Michigan basketball game

Michigan football tone deaf with new recruiting gala announcement
For some bizarre reason, the national media decided that Jim Harbaugh sleeping over at a recruit's house was "quirky" and "zany." National coverage of the Michigan football coach stalking a kid on campus was conveyed as "look at how dedicated he is!" and "he really cares about winning!" Instead of what it really is- more than a bit creepy. Why is Harbaugh allowed to play by a … [Read more...] about Michigan football tone deaf with new recruiting gala announcement
Cubs P Clayton Richard schools clueless Michigan football fan
Chicago Cubs Pitcher Clayton Richard wasn't exactly the greatest player in Michigan football history. In 2004, he lost the starting quarterback position battle to Chad Henne. Richard was the Michigan Wolverines QB2 that year, but only saw action in mop-up duty. Clayton Richard saw some garbage time in blowouts over Miami (Ohio), Indiana, and Northwestern. Richard, in total, … [Read more...] about Cubs P Clayton Richard schools clueless Michigan football fan

#10 Michigan Football vs #8 Ohio St THE GAME Preview, Prediction
Back in the summer, who would have guessed that Michigan football would actually be favored over the big, bad Buckeyes. They're not heavy favorites though and the line could still move a lot between now and kickoff. The spread actually doesn't matter all that much in THE GAME anyway. Weird stuff happens in rivalry clashes. … [Read more...] about #10 Michigan Football vs #8 Ohio St THE GAME Preview, Prediction
Jim Harbaugh gets big praise from Ohio St. Legend
I once received a compliment while in the midst of a very ugly and brutal break-up (Not that any break-ups are pleasant). My thought the next day was: "wow, that nice thing she said to me must REALLY be true, because she still said it even though she hates me more than any other individual human being on this Earth." That's legit praise right there. Likewise when one of the … [Read more...] about Jim Harbaugh gets big praise from Ohio St. Legend
#12 Michigan football game preview: #7 Michigan St.
Las Vegas did Michigan State fans a huge solid by making the Spartans a touchdown underdog. No fan base in all of college football embraces the Chicago White Sox style "second team in the region" chip on the shoulder as much as MSU does. That chip defines them. Michigan football- it is the Evil Empire to the Spartans. This game is always the Super Bowl to State, but this … [Read more...] about #12 Michigan football game preview: #7 Michigan St.
Tom Izzo rips Michigan fan “idiots” who vandalized Magic Johnson statue
"Oh ho ho it's magic...you know. Never believe it's not so. It's magic; you know." (Apologies to 1975 one-hit wonder "Pilot"). Seriously, show some respect to Magic Johnson. Think about all that Earvin Magic Johnson has done to grow the game of college basketball, and the NBA for that matter. … [Read more...] about Tom Izzo rips Michigan fan “idiots” who vandalized Magic Johnson statue

Hurricane Joaquin changes Illinois-Nebraska, Michigan-Maryland start times
Hurricane Joaquin is baring down on the Eastern seaboard, and right now, people aren't quite sure which way the tropical storm is going to travel. At least, the experts differed in opinion as of last night. This is a very fluid situation. It could be upgraded to a Category 4 storm by the time you read this, but downgraded to a Category 1 by the time it makes landfall, which … [Read more...] about Hurricane Joaquin changes Illinois-Nebraska, Michigan-Maryland start times
