Latest news and updates about the Michigan
I’ve been writing on this site for a long time now, over a decade actually, and I think you all have gotten to know me a little bit here and there. I used to be much more optimistic about what Purdue football could be and what they could do. But, given the changes in the […]

It’s November, and if you live in the northern portion of the U.S., it’s probably cold enough outside that you may as well stay home and watch this game. Kickoff is at 3:30 PM ET and will be on BTN. Y’all know what to do!

Hey everyone, here are the results of the two survey questions we posted earlier this week. We had asked for your opinion on the job security of head coach Jonathan Smith and starting quarterback Aidan Chiles. Needless to say, there is not a ton of optimism for Smith and Chiles. Nearly a half of us […]

I was tantalizingly close to a perfect week ATS last week. My two losses came via a backdoor cover by Michigan State on a TD with seven seconds to go and Northwestern covering by half of a point against Nebraska (seven point loss and a 7.5 point spread). Nonetheless, I’m back to .500 for the […]

How to WatchTV: BTNTime: 2:30Stream: FoxSports.com I know that Michigan State is 0-5 in the Big Ten and the Gophers are undefeated at home this season.

I decided to make the cover photo of this article a shot from the last game MSU won. That was back on September 13. This is probably the least motivated I have ever been to write an article on this site. My enthusiasm for the Michigan State football team is completely drained. I will do […]

For the third season in a row, Northwestern field hockey has outright possession of the Big Ten title! A 3-1 win over No. 14 Michigan got it there, while a dominant 7-0 showing against Ohio State was the cherry on top. Let’s talk all about it. Winning the Big Ten used to be monumental for […]

With no love lost between the teams – or fan bases – the annual matchup is a game that’s circled on each team’s calendar. Regardless of records, there’s a lot […]

Things don’t feel quite as bad a day or two after Saturday’s embarrassing loss. TMP doesn’t typically dwell on the past; we’re mostly ready to move on to Michigan State. But PJ Fleck is now 1-8 against Iowa and that is a trend we would like to see reversed. How does a loss like that […]

Today is the only game that matters. Our Spartans have lost three straight in the rivalry, and there has been a high level of drama involved in those – everything from cheating scandals to post game fights. Today’s game is at 7:30 and will air on NBC and Peacock. If ever there was a game […]

The Big Ten might be worse than I originally had predicted. The bottom of the conference is so horrifyingly bad that I get sad writing about it. Penn State, Michigan, and Illinois aren’t on par with the top three of the conference. All it means for Hawkeye fans is an abundance of upward mobility. Here’s […]

This week’s highlights include a pair of big rivalry games as Minnesota goes to Iowa for the Floyd of Rosedale and Michigan State hosts Michigan. I supposed Purdue-Rutgers could also be considered a rivalry game, as both teams are definitely rivals this year with “winning Big Ten games”. I am also curious to see if […]

Hail Mary, full of grace. We are going to need some Pope Leo prayers in this one. The hated rivals find themselves headed to East Lansing with a big smile and that cocky swagger that is a constant in their color scheme. Granted, many times it is unwarranted, but depending on the Walmart sale items, […]

Michigan beat Washington 24-7 in Ann Arbor last Saturday. Let’s just jump right into it: Passing Offense – 4/10 Quarterback – 4/10 Offensive line – 5/10 Receivers/tight ends – 6/10 Three picks is three picks, and Washington is unlikely to win many games losing the turnover battle 3-0. Now, one wasn’t Demond Williams’ fault, but […]

The J.J. McCarthy situation continues to be weird. McCarthy, whom the Minnesota Vikings traded up to select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is set to miss his fifth consecutive game because of an ankle injury. The University of Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 2 win against the Atlanta Falcons. However, there is a belief in some circles that McCarthy’s injury is actually an excuse for a soft benching. And while I do not dabble in conspiracy theories, ...

Michigan came into Saturday’s game against Washington with its season at a bit of a crossroads. After losing – and losing badly – to USC the previous week, the knives have been out in Ann Arbor.
