It Took A While, But Michigan Decides That Fried Chicken Jokes Are Bad
On May 24, radio host and University of Michigan football announcer Frank Beckmann decided to take to The Detroit News to weigh in on Sergio Garcia's "fried chicken" comments about Tiger Woods.

Totally Reasonable Michigan State Student Celebrates Michigan Loss By Detonating Homemade Bomb

Taking A Charge Is Just The Worst
With 20 seconds left and Syracuse down two, Brandon Triche drove the lane and dropped off a sort of wild layup as Jordan Morgan slid underneath him. Triche was called for an offensive foul and Michigan got the ball back and eventually won the game. It did not decide the game so much as make a Michig...
Michigan Misses All The Free Throws, Wins Ugly Against Syracuse Anyway
A wire-to-wire (foul-fest, timeout-filled, commercial-break heavy) battle ended in Jim Boeheim making a number of very Jim Boeheim faces and a relatively easy call for the refs: Jordan Morgan taking a charge from Brandon Triche with 20 seconds left, which, in hindsight, finished off Syracuse. Michi...

This was an ugly one. Michigan beat Florida 79-59, dominating from cover to cover. Short of a mini-run at the end of the first half, Billy Donovan's squad was out of whack all game.
