LB Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng’s path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026
There is plenty of reason for excitement and optimism surrounding the Michigan Wolverines’ defense heading into the 2026 season. With talent galore and a new coaching staff, the unit appears to be in good shape. The veterans are going to be the anchor, but this defense is going to rely on some youngsters, too. One […]
Did Michigan Hockey do enough this offseason to win a National Championship?
Another offseason, another summer of asking the same question regarding Michigan Hockey team: can it win the National Championship? Since last summiting the college hockey world in 1998, the Wolverines have reached 10 Frozen Fours, but only advanced to one title game, falling in overtime in 2011 to Minnesota-Duluth. Now, with three appearances under head […]
Kyle Whittingham: Michigan Football is a ‘little thin’ at this position
Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham likes what he has in the Wolverines’ secondary heading into the 2026 season, but there appears to be one glaring issue entering fall camp.

Reasonable expectations for Michigan Basketball in 2026-27 season
What’s better than a national championship? Very little. Well, maybe Taco Bell at 2 a.m., but college basketball teams don’t play for that. So by my standards, unless the 2026-27 Michigan men’s basketball season ends with a lifetime supply of Grilled Cheese Burritos being awarded to the Wolverines, it will be hard for Michigan to […]

Michigan Football 2026 opponent preview: Minnesota
The Battle for the Little Brown Jug between Michigan and Minnesota has been less of a battle and more of a one-sided beating with Michigan swinging the hammer for the last several decades.

5 late-enrolling Michigan Football freshmen with the best chance to see the field early in 2026
Michigan’s 2026 freshman class has rightfully gotten plenty of buzz this offseason. According to 247Sports, the Wolverines reeled in the nation’s 12th-best class with a group that has plenty of high-upside players, including two five-stars. Historically, it’s difficult for freshmen to get on the field early even if they are highly rated recruits. And those […]

DE Carter Meadows’ path to Michigan Football, outlook for 2026
Unlike other blue bloods, Michigan doesn’t often reel in high five-star prospects. For every Rashan Gary and Bryce Underwood, there are classes without a single five-star in it that are developed into powerhouse football teams. The class of 2026 is the former, as Michigan brought in two five-stars this offseason in Savion Hiter and Carter […]
Get to know Chris Lazary, Michigan Hockey’s newest assistant coach
Replacing an assistant coach is never easy, especially when that coach is leaving to become the head coach at Harvard. When Rob Rassey departed earlier this month, Michigan Hockey head coach Brandon Naurato had an important decision to make. Rather than hire someone with an NCAA background, he looked north of the border…kinda. Michigan’s newest […]
How many yards can Michigan’s 3 best rushers combine for in 2026?
Michigan’s offense is undergoing some changes once again.

Checking in on the Big Ten’s Flex Protect XVIII scheduling model
For whatever reason, I have always been fascinated with the administrative side of college athletics. No, not NIL budgeting and HR policies, but things like the Big Ten’s television contracts (evergreen FYI: FOX does not get first dibs at picking the Big Noon Saturday game every week). Another exciting (read: nerdy) element of college football […]
