It was a chaos filled weekend in college football; nothing like in in 31 years. Not since 1985 where you had the teams ranked two through four drop from the unbeatesn in one afternoon/evening. Clemson, Michigan and Washington all fell Saturday. We knew there would be a shake up, but didn’t know how or who. We had our assumptions and... Read More

Every so often get one of those, “where were you” moment in time. Michigan football has been around for over 100 years and the program is the winningest program in college football history. Their stadium is one of the oldest and biggest in college football, if not all of football, pro and college. So it is fair to say that... Read More

This year’s edition of Big Ten football is being hyped up by the media, and with good reason; five teams are ranked in the AP preseason Top 25. There are a couple players with a legitimate chance of winning the Heisman Trophy and the rivalry games are better than ever. Forget the hype for a second; when it’s time for... Read More

In fact, plenty of people thought they would not make the playoffs. But thanks to the Utah Jazz stumbling after the All-Star break and the great play of Kobe Bryant, the Lakers are... Read More

Yesterday at my friend’s house, I witnessed probably one of the greatest interceptions I have ever seen. In a game between Michigan and Michigan State, the quarterback for the Spartans was rolling out of the pocket avoiding pressure and just threw the ball out of bounds. But what happened after he threw the ball out of bounds was a one handed pick by... Read More
