EAST LANSING, Mich. -- October 2007. The rivalry was dead. Michigan had just won seven straight and 10 of the last 12 games against their in-state rival Michigan State when in the post game-presser following a 28-24 Wolverines victory in Spartan Stadium, Michigan's Mike Hart called MSU Michigan's "little brother". Then Dantonio took to the... Continue Reading →
Patrick Mahomes steals Super Bowl ‘LIV’ from San Francisco and the night from Shakira and J-Lo.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. - Patrick Mahomes looked human for three and half quarters. But down, 20-10, with just over seven minutes remaining in the game, facing third-and-a-mile, he became a legend. Up until that point, San Francisco had played nearly a flawless game and their defense was putting on a clinic. Through three quarters, Patrick... Continue Reading →
If I was the GM of the Detroit Lions, I would turn them into a Super Bowl-winning team. Even if it meant I had to sleep with Owner Martha Ford to do so.
We're currently living in Hell on Earth as Lions fans; We haven't won a title since '57, a playoff game since '92, we lost our last nine games of the regular season, and in general, we are the laughingstock of the league. However, this isn't something we aren't used too, we've grown accustomed to Hell's... Continue Reading →
Playing Alabama in the Citrus Bowl is the ULTIMATE WIN-WIN for Jim Harbaugh & Michigan… Here’s why:
Hand up. When I saw Michigan was matched up against Alabama, I pissed my pants a little bit. We all did. It had only been a couple of weeks since our most recent (yeah, we've had a lot of them) embarrassing loss to Ohio State and I wasn't sure I could take another a** kicking like that....

College Football Championship Week Gambling Preview: Do we really think Utah is good?
I've been feeling nostalgic lately; Granted, I don't feel it quite as much as I did watching Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino give it one last go in the Irishmen* this past weekend. But I'm still very sad and I may or may not have Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" playing through my speakers... Continue Reading →
You never expect to be the “grenade” at the bar… But it is a great plot twist.
M. Night Shyamalan (yes, I had to google how to spell his name), director of the Sixth Sense, the Village, and Signs could not have created a greater plot twist than what I experienced last Wednesday night. But instead of seeing dead people or (spoiler alert!) realizing I was a dead person myself, I had... Continue Reading →
MSU vs. Michigan and “The Battle for Big Brother” Preview and Prediction: Will this be the spark MSU needs or Dantonio’s last dance?
Mark Dantonio is a zombie - Just when you think he is dead, he sneaks up behind you and rips out your jugular. I've thought Dantonio was dead a couple of times before and every time, he comes back from the dead and rips out the heart of Michigan fans. There was the "trouble with... Continue Reading →
The Champions Classic showed us this Michigan State basketball season is going to be riddled with disappointment, heartbreak, and Izzo tantrums.
Thomas Kithier. I couldn't believe my eyes. Thomas Kithier* was starting for the #1 ranked team in the country, about to tip off in the Champions Classic. I'm no basketball expert, but that seemed like a major red flag for this MSU squad and the season hadn't even started yet. *My favorite part was the... Continue Reading →
