University of Michigan Football

Over the last half-century, the team that wins this one particular statistical category in the annual rivalry game has emerged victorious nearly 90 percent of the time. But just how predictive is it?

Corporate greed and gluttony could keep Lansing-area TV viewers from seeing this weekend's rivalry game. There are alternatives for those impacted, though.

Michigan has beaten MSU by 23 or more points just five times in the last 45 years.

Many say McCarthy at starting QB would give Michigan an explosive vertical passing game. But the numbers over the course of Jim Harbaugh's head coaching career say otherwise.

No wonder Michigan fans won't shut up about things that happened before the advent of the personal computer — many of them were around to witness that ancient history!

Michigan athletics have been rocked by scandal and controversy over the past two years, including the school's basketball coach punching another coach, the school nearly losing its football coach after the team's best season in 25 years, and a sex-abuse case with over 1,000 victims that may be the worst ever in sports. And yet, the man in charge of the department has been hard to find and even harder to hold accountable.

Harbaugh proposed the Big Ten share revenue with players via NIL deals. It's a shame, because it's a good idea, although completely and utterly hypocritical given the holier-than-thou stance he's taken on NIL all offseason.

A month ago, Michigan fans were busy bashing MSU for obsessively commemorating the Spartans' win over the Wolverines on their Peach Bowl rings.

Warde Manuel, who has been largely absent from the public and media amid multiple controversies and scandals within Michigan athletics, recently found the time to join a podcast and unironically adulate Bo Schembechler, just months after Michigan settled with more than a thousand sexual assault victims of the man many allege Schembechler enabled.

This is a great story on so many levels. It's the time former President Gerald Ford took a stand for his University of Michigan football teammate Willis Ward.
