So the President of Arizona State takes a dig at Harbaugh, implying he may be fired soon because "...he can't beat Ohio State." Maybe he should keep his eye on his own coaching staff... ASU hasn't even been ranked in the top 25 at the end of the last 5 seasons. Their combined record for those years is about .500 Way to give your opponent bulletin board material, Michael Crow... I'm thinking that if these two teams meet, you'll be eating a lot of that bird you're named after.
Baseball is not back officially until we get an #UmpShow and boy, did they ever deliver on Friday night in Michigan's 4-3 win over defending national champ Vanderbilt. True freshman Jimmy Obertop was ejected late in the contest for...swiping dirt with his bat after a called strike? It did not appear anything was said and Obertop was ejected with his back turned to the umpire. Odd, but a memorable way for his first college game to end on top of everything else.
Michigan State has found the successor to Mark Dantonio, hiring Colorado head coach Mel Tucker to the same position in East Lansing. Tucker publically withdrew his name from consideration last week, but it appears MSU stepped up with a significant offer he could not refuse. He went 5-7 last year in his head coaching debut with the Buffs and is a Cleveland native with ties to the region.
Ohio State players Amir Riep and Jahsen Wint have been charged with first-degree felonies of rape and kidnapping with arrest warrants issued for them on Tuesday. The Eleven Warriors story above has more of the details, but this is obviously ugly and reprehensible. OSU is aware has suspended the two players from all team activities.
Well...now what?
Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio is out, as he announced his retirement from football on Tuesday afternoon. It just so happened to be the same day more scandalous information came out from the Curtis Blackwell situation. He was paid a $4.3 million retention bonus by the program just weeks ago. L. O. L.
Jon Teske had one of the most vicious dunks of his career in the game against Rutgers at Madison Square Garden on Saturday afternoon.
As the rest of the basketball world has in the wake of Kobe Bryant's untimely passing, both Michigan and Nebraska took violations to start Tuesday night's game in Lincoln.
Absolutely stunning news out of the sports world this morning, as Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant passed away at 41-years-old in a helicopter crash. The Detroit Free Press did a story a few years back when Michigan was in the Final Four on a move Charles Matthews developed inspired by Bryant. The sports world is devastated.
Things got ugly in Lawrence, Kansas on Tuesday night.
