Big 10 places 2 on NFCA All-American Team
2008-05-29 21:30:00 Northwestern and Michigan have pretty much been the class of the Big 10 in terms of softball for the entire 2008 year. Sure, Iowa looked pretty good at times, but the Wildcats and Wolverines certainly dominated when it came down to it. So it really wasn’t a huge surprise when the two players that got ...

Message Board Marauder - Michigan Edition
2007-09-04 15:32:00 Tuesday's at DOTD mean that it's time to peruse the sports message boards and see what fans are spouting off about. Today, in light of the epic meltdown by Michigan's football team (which we saw, thanks to DirecTV), led by "head coach" Lloyd Carr, we will try and capture the true voice of Wolverines fans. And they're pretty pissed.(Disclaimer: DOTD has never particularly liked Lloyd Carr. While we respect Michigan, Carr always came across as a grumpy, pompous old bastard. It has always amazed us that he got the players he did when they could probably be playing for someone who A) looked like he enjoyed breathing, and B) didn't have the personality of a Mr. Burns/Grinch evil clone.)WingedHelmet.com: "F*ck, i think I'm going to get drunk...and F8ck the first drunk slut that will have me...night." - Ufers SpiritMLive.com: "YOU People - I'm talking, of course, to those of you who will 'look on the bright side,' say 'it's all ok,' contend 'we're still playing for the Big Te...
Boo-Hoo Big Blue
2007-09-02 08:13:00 Don't say that I didn't sort of call it...(Proof). After possibly the largest upset in college football history what else did you expect me to write about?First off, hats off to the Appalachian State University Mountaineers! You should be very proud and you are part of a great, great program that I think will become 3-peat D1-AA (FCS) National Champions this season, and you probably belong in the D1-A (BCS).Next, Wolverine players, coaches and fans you should be ashamed. No D1-AA (FCS) team has ever beaten a top 25 AP ranked team. Now they've beaten a top 5 AP ranked team! Not only was the game just embarrassing for the Wolverines, but I want to know who the hell thought it would be smart to play Appalachian State for a season opener? Did they think it would be a warm-up game like many other top-ranked teams had? That was a HUGE and catastrophic scheduling mistake. There are a lot of BCS teams that they would have been better off playing, rather than just another one of those FC...

APPALACHIA WHO??? [J. Mark English]
2007-09-02 06:37:00 Every first weekend of a college football season brings about some game where a top ten team gets threatened with a big upset, and then pulls it out in the end. And it would be normally very difficult for the top ten team to lose because they are playing a rank amateur opponent to guarantee a nice win to start of the season. The division I-AA school they play against has no problem with being the sacrifical lamb, because they're school gets a lot of money out of it, as well as TV recognition, and everyone is happy.Until today...Appalachian State University, a Divison I-AA school, took down the might Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor, upsetting the number five team in the nation. Where the hell did this come from??I've directly to ASU's website, and so here is the recap of one of the most shocking upsets you will ever see:Dexter Jackson sprinted through the secondary early in the first quarter, taunting nearly 110,000 Michigan fans by putting a finger over his lips en route to t...

Appalachian State Defeats The University of Michigan Wolverines 34-32!!!
2007-09-01 21:42:00 Today was the greatest upset in College Football History. Appalachian State defeated The University of Michigan Wolverines 34-32, at Michigan's Season Opener at the "Big House." This was nothing but a total embarrassment for the Michigan Wolverines. They should have won by a landslide.It is time for Lloyd Carr to be fired or resign. End of Story. When he recruits the greatest athletes and football players in the Country and continues to show up to the game ill-prepared (career bowl record of 5-7. Furthermore he has gone 1-4 in the past five years in bowl games), it is time for him to go.There is no excuse for losing to a B-level team when the University of Michigan was ranked #5 in the Country coming into this game. Now their season is over before it started. Consider this an open thread.Related EditorialsUFC 74: Randy Couture Defeats Gabriel Gonzaga !! (Open Thread)

College Football 2007 Conference Preview: Big Ten
2007-08-14 00:18:00 The Big Ten has been very competitive in the BCS race and always produces some of the top tier teams in the country. Look for Wisconsin and Michigan to be the ones competing for a chance to play in the BCS National Championship game, with Ohio St., Penn St., Purdue, and Iowa not far behind.Predicted Order of Finish1. WisconsinThe offense should be solid even after losing QB John Stocco and T Joe Thomas. Tyler Donovan is battling with KSU transfer Allan Evridge for the starting QB job but Donovan looks to have the upper hand. Donovan has some experience replacing Stocco while he was injured last season. Heisman Candidate PJ Hill returns at RB, he rushed for 1,569 yards and 15 touchdowns while he led the Big Ten in all-purpose yards. They also return a solid WR corps and one of the best TEs in the land in Travis Beckum. The defense should be rocking with 8 starters back that includes DE Matt Shaughnessy, CB Jack Ikegwuounu, and LBs Jon Casillas and DeAndre Levy.2. MichiganThere is no ...

Both teams are heavy contenders to win their own conferences and are legitimate contenders for a BCS Bowl game as well. Early Prediction: CaliforniaSeptember 3Florida St. at ClemsonBowden Bowl V will take place on Labor Day Weekend. Tommy has handled his dad pretty well winning the last two and three of four overall. This is a huge early game to get a jump start in the ACC and FSU cannot afford a loss here with their tough schedule as it is.Early Prediction: ClemsonSeptember 8Virginia Tech at LSUTwo of the countries top defenses will meet at one of the most hostile environments on CBS. Both teams return a lot of talent; this should be a great game with players such as Matt Flynn, Jacob Hester, Early Doucet,...
