The Wolverines are in the Frozen Four for a second straight season and face Quinnipiac at 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

3/11/2023 – Michigan 7, Ohio State 3 – 23-11-3 (9-7-3-5 B1G)  In the first game of the second half of the season, Michigan played Ohio State at Yost and got plastered. The Buckeyes throttled Michigan in a way that no team that no team in the past half-decade has, completely overwhelming the Wolverines and crushing them with shot after shot directed on Erik Portillo. Michigan actually scored the first goal of the game and went into intermission tied, but the shots on goal for the period were...

Baker back? Interesting roster development for basketball after last night's Toledo game: We’ll see what happens,” said Baker on if he would apply for a sixth-year.“Potentially.” “Absolutely,” he said on if he would come back to Michigan. “If I got it, I’m back here.” Baker played a total of 18 minutes as a freshman; bizarrely these all came in late February or later. Usually this would not be grounds for a redshirt, but who knows these days. The NCAA is in its Security Gu...

Harbaugh gonna Harbaugh. I'd be more surprised if this story ended up involving anyone else: To the surprise of Ofc Cooper, the good Samaritan was @CoachJim4UM who wanted to help clear the road. Ofc Cooper then gave Coach a pair of work gloves and the two of them went to work. (2/3) — Ann Arbor Police (@A2Police) February 23, 2023 I went to Home Depot once and the first person I saw was Harbaugh, wandering around looking for something like he was just a person, a normal person. Your new p...

PROGRAMMING NOTE: We are planning to do a watch-along on Thursday night during Michigan vs. Illinois! We did one such event for the Michigan/MSU hockey game a few weeks back and got good reviews on it, so we're trying it out for basketball, with the added bonus of being a national game on ESPN, so everyone should be able to watch-along if they so choose. I'll advertise it again a couple more times before Thursday just to give everyone notice, and the link to the stream will be posted ...

On the field, its hard to argue with the job Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh and AD Warde Manuel are doing. Off the field is a different story.

According to two Bronco reporters Will Petersen and Troy Renck they are saying the Broncos circled back to Harbaugh and he turned them down again. You can find these two on Twitter. I don’t have an account and suck at links. 

Where does Michigan go at offensive coordinator? AD Warde Manuel's future? Is 2023 the end of the Wolverines' CFP runs?

I just got off the phone with Coach Harbaugh and Jim shared with me the great news that he is going to remain as the Head Coach of the Michigan Wolverines. That is fantastic news that I have communicated to our Athletic Director Warde Manuel. #GoBlue! pic.twitter.com/3LJzsv4zN9
