Latest news and updates about the Michigan
Some games don’t just open a season — they announce a statement. And in 1998, Notre Dame delivered one loud enough to echo all the way from South Bend to Ann Arbor.

Despite continuing its perfect start, Dartmouth temporarily fell out of the top spot in the NPI on Friday, thanks to Michigan's big road win against Michigan State and its lofty strength of schedule. But Michigan had the tables turned on it Saturday, while Dartmouth kept on rolling, to regain the top spot...

What up, TOC Nation? We have two more questions for you this week, and I think the opinions on these are going to be a bit more impassioned than the fluff piece we put out over Thanksgiving. We have a new football coach and we have already seen the whole spectrum of reactions from you. […]
That was quick! The brand and image rehabilation for Pat Fitzgerald worked, and it took effect very quickly. Northwestern fired him in disgrace, due to a hazing scandal, in the summer of 2023. And now, here in the fall of 2025, he’s already got a new job, within the conference no less! NU’s Big Ten […] The post Ex-Northwestern Coach Pat Fitzgerald Takes Michigan State Job appeared first on The Sports Bank .
On the first Tuesday of December, Michigan State got its Big Ten slate underway with a home game against the Iowa Hawkeyes. I know many were worried about the trap game with a date with Duke on the horizon, and we had the news just before game time that freshman phenom Cam Ward would not […]
Ohio State was able to restore order to the universe on Saturday when it earned a 27-9 win over Michigan in Ann Arbor, snapping a four-game losing streak to the Wolverines. The win was the first by the Buckeyes over Michigan since 2019. Even though Ohio State won the national championship last year, for some, […]
Ohio State’s 27-9 victory over the then-No. 15 Michigan Wolverines hinged on a commanding performance from its offensive line, which consistently reset the line of scrimmage and dictated the tempo against Michigan’s front. The unit, especially on the right side, has been the topic of much discussion in recent weeks, as injuries and poor performance […]
We’ve come a long way from Curt Cignetti saying Ohio State sucks into a microphone at Assembly Hall. That comment, which included jabs at rival Purdue and Michigan, was made to fire up a home crowd and energize a moribund fanbase immediately after Cignetti’s hiring in Bloomington. It also served as a way of punching […]
Penn State is now bowl-eligible, and the top Big Ten teams lead both the Coaches Poll and the Associated Press ranking.

Ohio State’s victory over Michigan on Saturday was its first over the Wolverines since 2019, marking 2,191 days between victories against That Team Up North. Michigan had won four straight games against Ohio State, as the 2020 battle was postponed due to COVID-19. The win was especially cathartic […]
Look, we get it. Your days are busy and you don’t have time to read all of the stories and tweets from the three dozen websites dedicated to covering Ohio State athletics, or the 237 Buckeye beat writers churning out hot takes and #content on a daily basis. But that’s ok, that’s what your friends […]
Down by three points with two minutes left, Maryland football just needed a stop to give its potent offense a chance to tie the game or take the lead. Michigan State was staring down the barrel of a fourth-and-7 from Maryland’s 10-yard line. The Terps were 0-of-2 on fourth down Saturday night in Detroit. But […]
I need to begin by saying that the attendance for this game was pitiful. We could have fit this evening’s crowd into my high school’s stadium (North Farmington Raiders Rule!) Let’s get to the game. Michigan State received the ball to begin the game and proceeded to move the ball down the field with runs […]
Maryland football’s 2025 season has felt like an eternity, but it finally comes to an end Saturday in Detroit.
