Well, yeah, the guy's from UM and therefore a pompous ass, but it's an interesting take on big time college sports: By Jordan Acker Mr. Acker is an elected regent of the University of Michigan and served as chair from 2021 to 2022. He is a partner at the Goodman Acker law firm, and a consultant...

NY Times Writer discovers a story about why the rivalry between Ohio state and Michigan is so intense. Fielding Yost is at the center, naturally: https://www.nytimes.cf/2022/11/23/sports/ncaafootball/michigan-ohio-state-letters.html

Let’s not always see the same hands… I went through each conference and chose two teams that won the most championships during the period in question. Unfortunately, the Big 12 only goes back to 1996 and the data warehouse I used doesn't include Big 8 records. This made it impossible to use...

I took coach Fred Taylor's class on basketball. One of his lectures on defense began with, "There's only one team in the NBA that blocks out, and that's the team that plays on the crazy floor and has all those banners hanging from the rafters." We knew instantly that he was referring to the...

Just got word from my nephew, he scored two tickets to watch Kelly turn purple and we’re going!

Q: Can a team win a game by only scoring field goals, even if the other team scores a touchdown? Real Life A: The Maize and Blue weren’t done yet. Starting from the Michigan 27, Wally Gabler returned to the game and connected with Jack Clancy for receptions of 13, 9 and 18 to quickly advance...

Yep, I'm that flaming I-told-you-so asshole... But I told you so about the 12 o'clock "Big Game" theory Fox has dropped on the Big Ten. "Oregon has been outspoken about not being a fan of the 12 p.m. ET kickoff (more like 12:15 probably) for Ohio State’s game in Columbus against the Ducks on...

Can't go to DC as I have for most of the last 20 years, but thinking of 1LT Joseph "Al" Lofton, USMC, KIA, November 10, 1968, I Corps. OSU Class of 1967 and a friend. And Spec 4 Hugh Douglas Knott, Fairmont High School, class of 1961, jr hi basketball teammate, and a good friend.

I can see clearly now, cataracts are gone. I can see all obstacles in my way. Back are the bright colors that made my days It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day It's gonna be a bright (bright) Bright (bright) sunshiny day. Gratitude for the fine people who made this come...

My 2019 TV is smarter than the rest of my 2005 equipment. Thanks to Colobuck, I have an MP 4 file of the 2019 The Game. It won't play on my 2005 Sony Blu-Ray DVD player. I bought a Blu-Ray recorder and can now play the file on my computer thru VLC. I can also save the file to my VLC, but I can't...

Just finished watching most of the season and the NC game. How did they win the Big Ten, let alone an NC? Coulda, probably shoulda lost to Purdue, Illinois, Michigan and Cincinnati. While Krenzel didn’t fumble or throw a bunch of interceptions, he also wasn’t accurate. Grooms and Nugent, Jenkins...

...would love to be one as the ESPN execs meet to decide what to do for the two months. Talking about shitting your pants...

Couple of years ago I stayed at the Palmer House for a Vietnam Vet reunion. Got a hold of ORD who met me at Miller's Pub --- should really say introduced me to Miller's Pub. Anyway, great place to eat, drink, and people watch. Old school sports bar with photos from way back. I highly recommend...

Downsizing and there goes my surround system. I had Klepsch speakers purchased in 2005 with the wires fished through the walls to hide all the mess, but that was 14 years ago. What do you recommend today. I'm using a Yamaha amp, Sony Blue Ray DVD, Onkyo CD player - My taste in music runs to Jazz...
