Michigan Sports Center

I Guess This Is Goodbye

Back in February 2006, I started Michigan Sports Center as nothing more than a hobby. Quickly it became something much bigger, however, and ever since it has led to numerous awesome opportunities, including running Pride of Detroit, SB Nation’s Lions blog. The newest opportunity that has come my way is to be the managing editor [...]

One Final Quick Hits

Jon Bills, Mark Moundros, and former Michigan player Kirk Moundros were in a car accident yesterday, and Bills is going to have surgery today because his injury is apparently pretty serious. My thoughts go out to both him and the Moundroses. Smoking will be banned in all of Michigan Stadium starting this coming season. Michigan [...]

The response will include self-imposed sanctions, which Michigan hopes will satisfy the NCAA Committee on Infractions, who Michigan has to meet with in August. During that meeting the [...]

Sean — Tue, 18 May 2010 02:24:04 +0000

The Michigan club lacrosse team won its third-straight MCLA title on Saturday, downing Arizona State 12-11 in the championship game. It certainly seems like it’s only a matter of time until lacrosse gets bumped up to the varsity level, but I just hope it happens sooner rather than later. Michigan was trailing Northwestern in baseball [...]
