David Braun’s Michigan game week press conference notes

Before Northwestern football returns to Wrigley Field to face off against No. 18 Michigan, head coach David Braun fielded questions at his weekly press conference. Here’s what he had to say. These quotes have been edited for clarity and brevity. Opening statement: “Start off with a shout out to Tracy Fuchs in women’s field hockey […]

Three keys for Northwestern football vs. Michigan

Northwestern enters Saturday’s matchup against Michigan sitting at five wins and searching for the elusive sixth that would secure bowl eligibility. The ’Cats are also looking to earn their first victory at Wrigley Field, but it won’t come easily against a Michigan team built around a strong rushing attack. Though it is officially a home […]

How Northwestern football’s upcoming opponents fared during its second bye week

Northwestern didn’t play this past weekend, but its future opponents did. For a fanbase watching every scoreboard like a Wall Street ticker, the results were oddly comforting. Every team remaining on NU’s schedule won. But not one looked like a juggernaut. Then-No. 23 USC barely scraped past Nebraska, No. 21 Michigan was sluggish against Purdue, […]

Big Ten Rankings and Projections After Week 10

USC proved that it can beat a decent team on the road; this time it was Nebraska. Indiana continues to thrash most of their opponents while Penn State, Michigan State, and Purdue continue to lose. However, Purdue hung with Michigan, proving they aren’t a push-over. Polls This week we saw the initial CFP rankings for […]

Xs and Ohs! So Close at Michigan Edition

You may have heard that the website formerly known as Twitter has been purchased and is now X, a simply horrendous name in my opinion but then again I am not a billionaire so take my suggestions with a grain of salt. You may also know that we have historically shared our favorite tweets from […]

Devin Mockobee Out For Season

When Devin Mockobee came to Purdue he was not even on scholarship. He will leave as one of hte most accomplished running backs in the program’s history. After 45 consecutive games mockobee was ruled out on Saturday at Michigan, and today it was announced that his season is over, in addition to his Purdue career […]

Duke’s Challenging Schedule And Scheyer Before Duke

The Duke Chronicle has a couple of columns up worth your time. The first is about the gauntlet of a schedule that Jon Scheyer has set up.

The Northwestern field hockey notebook, Week Nine

For the third season in a row, Northwestern field hockey has outright possession of the Big Ten title! A 3-1 win over No. 14 Michigan got it there, while a dominant 7-0 showing against Ohio State was the cherry on top. Let’s talk all about it. Winning the Big Ten used to be monumental for […]

State Champs: Michigan Defeats Michigan State

The Michigan-Michigan State rivalry might not jump to mind when you think of college football’s greatest rivalries, but it’s certainly one of the most intense. With no love lost between the teams – or fan bases – the annual matchup is a game that’s circled on each team’s calendar. Regardless of records, there’s a lot […]

Week Nine Big Ten Power Ratings

The Big Ten might be worse than I originally had predicted. The bottom of the conference is so horrifyingly bad that I get sad writing about it. Penn State, Michigan, and Illinois aren’t on par with the top three of the conference. All it means for Hawkeye fans is an abundance of upward mobility. Here’s […]

Week 9 Big Ten Preview

This week’s highlights include a pair of big rivalry games as Minnesota goes to Iowa for the Floyd of Rosedale and Michigan State hosts Michigan. I supposed Purdue-Rutgers could also be considered a rivalry game, as both teams are definitely rivals this year with “winning Big Ten games”. I am also curious to see if […]

Michigan State vs Michigan Preview

Hail Mary, full of grace. We are going to need some Pope Leo prayers in this one. The hated rivals find themselves headed to East Lansing with a big smile and that cocky swagger that is a constant in their color scheme. Granted, many times it is unwarranted, but depending on the Walmart sale items, […]

Grading the Game: Michigan

Michigan beat Washington 24-7 in Ann Arbor last Saturday. Let’s just jump right into it: Passing Offense – 4/10 Quarterback – 4/10 Offensive line – 5/10 Receivers/tight ends – 6/10 Three picks is three picks, and Washington is unlikely to win many games losing the turnover battle 3-0. Now, one wasn’t Demond Williams’ fault, but […]

Vikings Declare J.J. McCarthy Isn’t Ready Yet (And I’m Calling Shenanigans)

The J.J. McCarthy situation continues to be weird. McCarthy, whom the Minnesota Vikings traded up to select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is set to miss his fifth consecutive game because of an ankle injury. The University of Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 2 win against the Atlanta Falcons. However, there is a belief in some circles that McCarthy’s injury is actually an excuse for a soft benching. And while I do not dabble in conspiracy theories, ...

Michigan Bounces Back, Defeats Washington 24-7

Michigan came into Saturday’s game against Washington with its season at a bit of a crossroads. After losing – and losing badly – to USC the previous week, the knives have been out in Ann Arbor. Fans and media alike have not only been critical of Michigan’s performance in Los Angeles, but of the state […]

Washington overwhelmed in 24-7 loss to Michigan

Amidst a season that eventually ended with downing Washington in the National Championship Game, Joel Klatt often described Michigan as a boa constrictor. A team that squeezes the life out of its opponents slowly, but surely. It happened to Michael Penix Jr’s Huskies in that heartbreaking defeat. It happened again Saturday, with Klatt in the […]

Saturday Game Thread of Watching Other People’s Pain

I will be watching college football again today. There should be some really good games on, including Ole Miss at Georgia. Notre Dame vs USC could be interesting. For the Big Ten, there’s Michigan versus Washington, Penn State versus Iowa.
