Wide World of Sports

MGoBlog beat me to the punch on this one with a very good post on the topic (and great Coach reference), but there is a great Michigan football article in Wednesday's Detroit Free Press about a 1997 football game against Northwestern. The article is a little over-dramatic on the importance of the student managers given that Michigan won the game 23-6, but it's both a great story and a frustrating tale of a coaching staff that was sometimes buried in the 1960s when it came to game planning (and signaling)

I came across this article tonight about a state championship baseball game down in Georgia by Rick Reilly on ESPN.com. Definitely another great read about some punk kids that went way across the line. Umpires may miss calls from time to time, but they are always trying their best, especially when umpiring a state championship baseball game. It's good that at least the catcher will suffer consequences for their actions, especially given the lack of remorse over their idiotic decisions. Now someone needs to punish the pitcher.
