I didn’t have a problem with the Lions winning the game against the Cowboys by a score of 39-31. The big story as Detroit limped towards the end of the season was that they were in position to claim the #1 pick, presumably to draft Brady Quinn out of Notre Dame. The Oakland […]
I didn’t see any of the game but MGoBlue and Puckhead’s hockey page have all the gory details. It sounds like the team was totally outplayed by Michigan State, which was pretty obvious based on the 4-1 final score.
The Wolverines were completely dominated in terms of special teams play. The Spartans scored 3 […]
University of Michigan defenseman Jack Johnson scored the game winning goal at the 3:16 mark of overtime, giving team USA their second win in the World Junior Hockey Championships in Siljan, Sweden. The win put the United States in second place behind team Canada in Group A play.
Jeff Frazee stopped 28 of 30 shots […]
I like the preview Rumors and Rants has on the Rose Bowl matchup. I agree completely that the game will likely be decided by how much success John David Booty and the USC Trojan receivers have against the weak link of Michigan’s defense: the secondary.
USC will likely try to do what OSU was so […]
John Heuser from MLIVE has an article on Michigan’s preparations to play USC in the Rose Bowl on January 1st. Heuser takes a look at USC’s remarkable run prior to this season:
For 34 consecutive games, none of USC’s opponents could defeat the Trojans. The sixth-longest winning streak in NCAA Division I history included […]
The Wings have gotten into the habit of not playing complete games. Tonight was another perfect example of Detroit getting off to a good start and then allowing the opponent to get back into the game. But the Wings were able to get back on track in the third period to gain two […]
Danny Knobler from MLIVE, who usually covers the Tigers beat, has a good article on how head coach Mike Babcock plans to prepare for a heavier spate of games.
With the Wings scheduled to play 14 games in a 25-day span, keeping players fresh is…important. “We have a lot of hockey in very few nights,” […]
The U.S World Junior hockey team was outclassed by team Canada, losing 6-3 today. However there was a bit of a silver lining as Wings prospect Darren Helm scored two goals for team Canada.
Darren Helm of the Medicine Hat Tigers also scored a pair, including an empty-netter. Carey Price of the Tri-City Americans […]
The Wings only played 3 periods of hockey over the past 3 games, but it was good enough to secure 5 out of 6 points over the past week. The key factor for Detroit was clearly Dominik Hasek, who went 3-0 against Minnesota this month, stopping 85 of 87 shots for a .977 save […]
ESPN news services has a good article on the sports aspect of Gerald Ford’s life. Ford played center on the Michigan national championship teams in 1932 and 1933. He bypassed a career in professional football to attend Yale law school before beginning a long career in politics. He also had his #48 […]
