Unfortunately, November 18, 2006 is a whole week away. After surviving Ball State last weekend, Michigan came out with authority against Indiana, winning 34-3. Now we can finally focus [...]

Around the Bases 11.4.06: The Offseason Begins

The St. Louis Cardinals have apologized for winning the World Series, ruining what could have been a storybook ending. Said Tony La Russa: “It’s disappointing, to say the least. We were rooting for the Detroit Tigers just like everyone else.” [The Onion]
