Appalachian State Fans Are Still, Well, Appalachians
We can understand that Appalachian State fans would want to remember their upset victory over Michigan forever, keep it close to them so that, in moments of despair, they can remember that anything is possible, that the world can be a transformative place. (Particularly when Michigan is terrible.) B...
Do You Have Irish-Wolverines Fever?
If you didn't get your fill of quality football from that train wreck at Monster Park last night, worry not: You still have the Notre Dame-Michigan game to look forward to this Saturday. Yes, the 0-2 Fighting Irish travel to the 0-2 Wolverines in a game that has all the intrigue of two 80-year-old m...
Hugh II: The Nedessey Continues... Part 3
Wow. They're really piling on Michigan today. They're talking about App State every chance they get, not failing to mention that 3 game losing streak, and even breaking out footage of the Kordell Stewart play. Are they going to dig up Bo and Gerald Ford and parade their dead bodies on ABC too just t...

Three Days Later, The Upset Still Stuns
As much as we enjoyed the link to all the other Big Ten teams celebrating Michigan's loss, and as happy as we are for Appalachian State — some of whose fans actually saw this coming — we still have to focus on those Michigan fans, who saw their entire season (and perhaps so much more) evaporate in a...
About Last Night ...
What you missed while making Scott Baker look like a chump... • MLB: Clay Buchholz tossed a no-hitter for Boston. There's one guy who didn't have to pay for sex last night! • CFB: Cal avenged last year's humbling defeat to Tennessee in a primetime shootout. They also covered the spread, which means ...
Hugh II: The Nedessy Continues... Pt. 3
BACK COMES MICHIGAN! BACK COMES MICHIGAN! With a touchdown run that Michigan announcer Frank Beckmann described as "a Mike Hart to just have to see, it's undescribable!" Thanks, Frank, I'd love to see it! I hate you, Jim Delany. Not as much as Gary Bettman, but I still hate you. -AsInHowe...

A Place Where Amaker Can Make A Difference For Underprivileged Kids
You know, it seems strange to think about now, but when Tommy Amaker was initially hired by Michigan, many people thought it was just the move to bring the Wolverines back to national prominence. We know now that it was exactly the move to turn the team into the NIT Terrorizing Force that it has bec...
This Can't Turn Out Well For Anyone
OK, this is no laughing matter, but Wolverine Nation can't be happy that when this 35-year-old man went out to meet a "kid" he met on the Internet, he decided to wear his lucky Michigan cap. Next to "First down, Troy Smith," the next phrase a Michigan fan does not want to hear is "Hi, I'm Chris Hans...

Michigan State Spartans
1. Drew Me Baby One More Time. Use both hands, please If you can overlook the disturbing visual similarities between Drew Neitzel and Britney Spears (she just wanted to look like him). There's a lot to appreciate about the Spartans leader. When he was 12, Drew won the national 2-ball championshipm w...
Dead Schembechlers: Classy or Pussies?
From their website: The Dead Schembechlers will now be know as...The Bastard Sons of Woody!!! The name change comes on the heels of the death of original band namesake Bo Schembechler and to acknowledge the fact that the group members are direct genetic descendents of Woody Hayes himself. "We were a...
Michigan Legends Are Dropping Like Flies
To the best of my knowledge, there was never a band called "The Dead Gerald Fords," but if such a band does exist, they're going to have to change their name, too. Former President and center on the 1932 and 1933 national champion Michigan Wolverines football teams Gerald Ford died last night at the...
Tom Brady Sorts Out The BCS Confusion
Well it's Wednesday, and surely by now Michigan fans are over the sting of not being voted into the BCS title game opposite Ohio State. We imagine that Rose Bowl Fever is gripping the state of Michigan. Right? Hello? (taps computer monitor)....
