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.

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.

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).

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...

Bo's Had Enough Time To Get Settled In By Now, So Let's Do This
That'll just about do it for the masturbation. It's time to get at it. Kickoff's in just a few minutes, and I honestly don't feel overwhelmed by the hype. The game is big enough that a week of ESPN-brand hype wasn't enough to kill it for me—and that doesn't happen often. Give Brent Musberger a few m...
The Dead Dead Schembechlers
It was a phenomenal little ride while it lasted, but the Dead Schembechlers are no more. The punk band announced last night that their performance at the Hate Beat Michigan rally would be their last.
