Headlines From The Weekend

  • Michigan Wolverines have opened a season with two straight losses at home for the first time since 1959 and have dropped four straight, dating to last season, for the first time in four decades. The losing streak coincides with the death of former Michigan coach Bo Schembechler. It seems the coaching staff and the team are still struggling from that big loss so much that they can't get it together on the field. Luckily for the Wolverines they face a Notre Dame team struggling just as badly. Notre Dame starts a true Freshman looking to get his team their first win of the season.
  • Oklahoma put a beating on University of Miami Saturday so badly that one might suspect UM was a Division II and not the school that dominated the early 2000's. Miami's new coach, Randy Shannon had a tough time in his first big game matching up with Bob Stoops's dynamic team. OU was able to move the ball at will on a Miami D that was supposed to be one of the best in the nation, and their defense was rock solid.
  • Speaking of ass kickings, LSU put a real one on Virginia Tech, so badly that they have turned to freshman quarterback Tyrod Taylor to guide the squad in the upcoming week.
  • Federer wins the US Open but Novak Djokovic wins our hearts with his impressions.
