Kyle Whittingham is in danger of going down same road as Jonathan Smith

Before taking one of the most prominent jobs in this state, he had never coached anywhere east of the Rockies. He had come all this way to restore a program whose previous coach was suddenly fired in wake of a shocking scandal. His hiring, when it was announced, was roundly praised by national pundits – and seen as quite the coup by many of them. But because he was viewed as an outsider, he wasn’t totally embraced by the fans. They then came away unimpressed with his debut, a narrow victory over a Group of Six opponent. As they watched games in the weeks ahead, they began to accuse him of lacking emotion and energy on the sideline. Most of all, they grew disappointed with the results on the field. Past the midway point of the season, his team already had three defeats and multiple Big Ten losses. Now, he was nearing a possible make-or-break matchup with the rival school 65 miles away. This was Jonathan Smith in October 2024. This is Kyle Whittingham now. The parallels are striking, which should concern Whittingham in his first year as Michigan football coach.

Harmon Sidhu: Michigan has the pieces to win a national championship, now it has to put them together

The last time the Michigan women’s basketball team faced one of the nation’s best, its historic season ended in heartbreak. In the Elite Eight against Texas last season, the Wolverines looked nothing like the team that had won 28 games and established itself among the country’s elite. Their high-powered offense disappeared, their shots stopped falling and their hopes of reaching the Final Four vanished in a 77-41 defeat.

Sophie Matthews: Michigan had to fall hard in order to compete for titles

Silence. Shock. Maybe a bit of everything ran through the No. 2 Michigan hockey team’s mind after Saturday’s 5-2 loss. What was meant to be a weekend for the Wolverines to ease into Big Ten play against a 2-4 Ohio State turned into a severely humbling moment, putting Michigan at the mercy of its long-standing rival.

Central Michigan destroys Eastern Michigan in MACtion at Ford Field

DETROIT — Central Michigan football got off the weekend, and it got off the schneid. Nick Woodford scored three touchdowns and the Chippewas dominated rival Eastern Michigan from start to finish for a 35-7 victory in their first midweek Mid-American Conference game of the season Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Ford Field before an announced crowd of 12,656. With the win, CMU (4-5, 2-3) snapped a three-game losing streak and pulled within two wins of becoming bowl-eligible for the second time under second-year head coach Matt Drinkall. Only an Eagles touchdown with 10 seconds left prevented the first shutout in the rivalry since 1962. "One of those deals where we played well and we caught a lot of breaks," Drinkall said after an on-field postgame celebration that featured the hoisting of a new 49-inch trophy to honor the oldest rivalry in the MAC. "They played as well as they possibly could." In a meeting of two of the 15-worst offenses in the Football Bowl Subdivision, only one of the teams looked the part. Central Michigan outgained Eastern Michigan, 418-177, and won the time of possession battle, 40:56-19:04. The Chippewas were 7-for-15 on third down and 5-for-5 on fourth down. The Chippewas

Kickoff time, TV details released for Michigan State vs. Michigan game

It doesn't matter what the seasons look like. Both teams could be winless and this would still be a game circled on the calendar for both programs. It's the annual Michigan State football vs. Michigan game, and we now know when the Spartans will kick off against the Wolverines next weekend. The game will be played under the lights in Ann Arbor, with kickoff set for 7:30 pm ET. The game will be broadcast on Peacock. The Wolverines are 5-3 and will be looking to avoid an embarrassing home loss in what has been a disappointing season for the program under new head coach Kyle Whittingham. The Spartans have yet to win a Big Ten game, coming into this one 0-5 in conference action and 2-6 on the season. A win over their rivals would flip the script on this season and bring a lot of positive vibes to this program.

“Poops Himself, He Pees in the Leg”: Michigan Alum Dave Portnoy Brutally Mocks Ryan Day After Ohio State Loss

Dave Portnoy and Ohio State head coach Ryan Day have spent the past two years trading shots without ever needing to share a room. Portnoy, a Michigan graduate and one of the Wolverines’ loudest supporters, has made a habit of questioning Day’s nerve in big games. Their feud has moved beyond the usual Michigan-Ohio State trash talk. Portnoy has accused Day and Ohio State of pressuring FOX Sports to remove him from Big Noon Kickoff. Now the Buckeyes have handed Portnoy another reason to take aim. “I said to Ohio State fans. Oh, the quarterback’s down. Let’s see how Ryan Day coaches. Nobody likes...
