HOW MICHIGAN MEN ARE MADE: A look inside the timeless tradition

By: Courtney Ratkowiak

Deathless loyalty. Enthusiasm. Conviction. Fielding Yost’s definition of those “right values” date back to the early 1900s. The idea of a Michigan Man is ingrained in the school’s culture, but even those considered personifications of the term struggle to explain exactly what it means.

Breakdown: Michigan football vs. Ohio State

By: Michael Eisenstein and Andy Reid

It's in the Big House. It's Senior Day. That "42-7" score is still leaving a bad taste in every Wolverines' mouth. And, to top it all off, the coaching staff played old tapes of Bob Ufer's best calls from the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry at practice. Michigan is going to be jacked for this game.

Andy Reid: Bob Ufer at practice? Rodriguez definitely 'understands' this rivalry

Clif Reeder/Daily

By: Andy Reid

Let me repeat that — Rich Rodriguez is blasting Ufer’s game calls of the epic battles between Michigan’s and Ohio State’s most iconic coaches. The man whom many have accused of shunning Michigan’s great tradition is using it to his advantage for the single most important week of the year. A little Ufer during Ohio State week? Sounds good to me.

Nicole Auerbach: Finally, Harris and Sims bring some some star-powered leadership

Ariel Bond/Daily

By: Nicole Auerbach

Leadership is often one of the easiest aspects to see within an organization, but one of the hardest to define.

Vocal leaders, like last year’s Michigan men’s basketball team captains C.J. Lee and David Merritt, are very noticeable. You constantly heard them chattering on the court, and you saw the way they interacted with younger teammates on the bench.

Brandon Graham gets ready for his final appearance in the Big House

By: Michael Eisenstein

Throughout Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez's tumultuous two-year tenure, one player has almost always been able to flash a smile, even in the toughest of stretches. It's not that Graham — who leads the nation with 21 tackles for loss — doesn't take Michigan's struggles seriously. Rather, he's excelled and turned into a surefire first-day NFL Draft choice because of his attitude.

Women's basketball team wins third straight at home

By: Zak Pyzik

The Southern Mississippi women’s basketball team isn't used to playing games on a big stage.

After pregame warmups, the Lady Eagles (1-2) forgot to return to the locker room. The Crisler Arena crowd and basketball pep band didn’t take a liking to Southern Mississippi coach Joye Lee-McNelis's flamboyant, shiny, cheetah-print blouse or the assistant coach's baggy, bell bottom pants.

On Women's Basketball: No choice but freshmen

By: Amy Scarano

Being young isn’t always bad.

And the Michigan women’s basketball team, whose roster includes six freshmen, has the stats to prove it.

The Wolverines haven’t started the season 3-0 since the 2007-08 season, and they haven’t scored 91 points in a game in Borseth’s tenure at Michigan – until last night. Better yet, nine underclassmen notched a combined 65 of those points.
