Receding Expectations: Michigan Football in Review
“We bow to no man. We bow to no program.

As Michigan fans, we unrealistically expect greatness in our athletic endeavors, ignoring the staunch unlikelihood […]
Can We Finally Change the NFL’s Archaic OT Rules?
At long last, Tom Brady’s season-long quest for retribution under the despotic rule of Roger Goodell has reached its satisfying conclusion. The New England Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI by a score of 34-28, overcoming a NFL high 25 point deficit to seal the victory in overtime. While NFL fans […]

Michigan Football Season in Review
My, what a year it’s been for Jim Harbaugh and his Wolverines. Following what can only be described as an explosion of cult-like insanity and fandom surrounding his arrival in Ann Arbor earlier this year, the former QB did surprisingly well in bringing Michigan Football back to some semblance of its former glory. In spite […]
