2008-11-22 18:16:00 Unfortunately the Michigan/Ohio State game is going to be cancelled for the first time ever this year. The reason is Michigan can't get past Toledo.

Anyway, the Michigan-Ohio State game starts in minutes on ABC.In the first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs, Ithaca College meets Curry. There?s no truth to the rumor that Curry is named for former MTV VJ Adam Curry.The game is being broadcast on WICB and is also available on LiveStats. At the moment, I can?t find any live webcast of the game.Why is Pittsburgh and Cincinnati playing twice in three days? Are they replaying the game to allow Chad Johnson to play? Oh, it?s the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Cincinnati for possibly the Big East title. I will take credit for these jokes.
