Jim Harbaugh And Luke Fickell Bicker About The James Hudson Transfer Saga
Of all the NCAA’s heavy-handed mechanisms of controlling players, the transfer portal is among the most confusing. The 2018 opening of the portal theoretically makes it easier for athletes to switch schools, though it has done little to actually make things smoother for transferring players, which m...
Jim Harbaugh Probably Should Have Waited A Bit Before Speaking Out Against Mental Health Waivers For Transfers
It’s that time of year where reporters and other media members get to ask questions to college football coaches that often lead to these meathead leaders of the gridiron showing their ass on topics they’re clearly not too well-versed on. The most recent edition of this annual tradition features Univ...
Vanderbilt Terminates Michigan's Cinderella Run, Wins College World Series
They didn’t have the luxury of superstar pitcher Kumar Rocker on the mound tonight, but Vanderbilt didn’t need him for even a moment in their winner-take-all game against Michigan on Wednesday night. With a dull but decisive 8-2 victory, the Commodores completed a comeback from a 1-0 series deficit,...
Righteous Baseball Dude Kumar Rocker Saved Vanderbilt Again
The last time we checked in on freshman Vanderbilt pitcher Kumar Rocker, he had just vanquished the vile Duke Blue Devils with a 19-strikeout no-hitter that also featured some well-earned shit-talking. That start saved Vanderbilt from postseason elimination, and now they are facing off against Michi...

If John Beilein Is Such A Good Person, Why Was He A College Basketball Coach?
Longtime Michigan men’s basketball coach John Beilein announced yesterday that he’s leaving the university to take over as coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. It’s a move plenty of other college coaches have made before, but the departure of Beilein—reportedly beloved, supposedly clean, and, at 66, d...
John Beilein Leaves Michigan To Coach The Cleveland Cavaliers
In an out-of-nowhere bit of NBA coaching news that I have at this point quintuple-checked to make sure it’s not coming from a Fake Woj account, University of Michigan head coach John Beilein is leaving Ann Arbor to try and save the sinking ship that is the Cleveland Cavaliers. The two-time national ...
Texas Tech Drained Michigan Of Its Will To Live
Texas Tech sucked the life out of Michigan in the most brutal of ways on Thursday night, riding adequate offense and criminally exasperating defense to a 63-44 win and a trip to the Elite Eight. For all 40 minutes, the two-seeded Wolverines didn’t look like they even belonged on the same court as th...

NTSB Report: Michigan's 2017 Plane Accident Was A Couple Split-Second Decisions Away From Catastrophe
Back in March 2017, the charter plane of the Michigan men’s basketball team aborted takeoff from an airport in Ypsilanti, crashed through a chain link fence beyond the end of the runway, and came to rest in a field beyond a surface road and a ditch beyond the airport boundary. The plane was all tras...
Mark Turgeon Implores Maryland Crowd To Stop Calling Michigan's Ignas Brazdeikis Ugly
Maryland fans were waiting for Michigan freshman Ignas Brazdeikis to get to the free throw line. It wasn’t because he’s terrible from the charity stripe, where he hits 76.5 percent of his shots. Instead it was because the home crowd wanted Brazdeikis in an isolated situation so that they could remar...
Michigan Remembered Its Identity And Smothered Maryland To Death With It
Maryland did an excellent job surprising the crowd at the Crisler Center during its game against Michigan on Saturday. Unfortunately, the surprise came about because of how good the Terps were making the Wolverines look. Coming into the game, Michigan had the 302nd-ranked tempo in the nation, accord...
Zavier Simpson's Skyhook Is One Of The Seven Wonders Of The World
Michigan junior point guard Zavier Simpson picked up only the sixth triple-double in school history on Tuesday night, and of all opponents, he did it in a win against Ohio State. Zavier (formerly Xavier) notched 11 points, 12 assists, zero turnovers, and—most astonishingly for a guy who’s only liste...
New Ohio State Coach Ryan Day Has Already Poached A Pair Of Michigan Coaches
Today marks the end of Ryan Day’s first week as Ohio State’s head coach, a position he inherited after Urban Meyer slunk off following the Buckeyes’ Rose Bowl win. Day will face a tough task as he takes over for a man who had single-digit losses in his seven seasons. (Hopefully he does not imitate M...
Jets Deny That They'll Try To Woo Milk Fiend Jim Harbaugh
Though this isn’t as strange a rumor as Condoleezza Rice to the Browns, ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio says a league source told him that after the season concludes, the New York Jets want to throw a buttload of money at Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh and see if he’s interested. Huh!...
Iggy Brazdeikis Is God's Honest Truth
Wednesday night’s game between North Carolina and Michigan featured two of the most hyped freshmen of this college basketball season, and both of them played for the Tar Heels.

Chris Olave Continues Breakout Day For Ohio State With Touchdown From Blocked Punt
Ohio State’s special teams made up for the muffed kickoff that set up Michigan to cut the lead down to two with a blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown with 4:41 left in the third quarter. What made this return special, though, wasn’t just that it was smooth as all hell, but that it came fr...
Ohio State Returns Momentum To Michigan With Muffed Fair Catch Attempt
For a majority of the first half, Ohio State has turned Michigan’s top-ranked defense into mincemeat. Dwayne Haskins has thrown for three touchdowns and hasn’t been under any serious pressure all game. So when Michigan scored its first touchdown of the day to cut Ohio State’s lead down to eight with...
How Good Is Michigan?
An early shock in the young college basketball season happened just outside of Philadelphia last night, as the Michigan Wolverines went to Villanova and absolutely crushed the defending national champions, winning 73-46 in a rematch of last April’s title game.

Michigan State's First Score Comes From "Philly Special"-Type Play
Michigan State showed a national audience on Saturday that their in-state rivals, Michigan, were doing something else the Sunday of this year’s Super Bowl.
