The state of Louisiana is known for its alligators and spicy food.
But indigestion and an untimely run-in with a hungry reptile will be the least of the Michigan volleyball team's worries this weekend, when the Wolverines travel to Baton Rouge, La., for the Tiger Invitational.

Just days after Michigan named Tom Goss as its athletic director, there is news of yet another possible move in the athletic department.
Fritz Seyferth - one of Michigan's four senior associate athletic directors - is reportedly being considered for the athletic director position at Boston College.

For the first time in four years, Warren Luhning spent the first day of hockey practice watching his teammates skate.
It wasn't a normal feeling. Fortunately for him, it didn't last long.

Home sweet home. With the promise the Michigan soccer team has shown over the last week, opposing teams aren't going to be very anxious to come to Ann Arbor.
After a set of impressive road swings, the 22nd-ranked Wolverines (3-1) return to Ann Arbor for their home opener against Butler (2-1) on Friday. Followed by a match against Eastern Michigan on Sunday, the home games should be a welcome change for the young Wolverines.

When half of a team's starting roster are freshmen, it would be understandable to be a little worried going into the first tournament of the season.
It seems no one told Michigan women's golf coach Kathy Teichert, because she is showing no signs of uneasiness.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - When Purdue quarterback Billy Dicken gets the ball this weekend, the Notre Dame defense knows exactly what he's going to do with it. It's going in the air, early and often.
Forget about the traditional, Midwestern, smashmouth football. This is high-octane, 50-passes-a-game offense. Or as new Purdue coach Joe Tiller calls it, "basketball on grass." And it's nothing like the ground game No. 12 Notre Dame saw last week.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (AP) - Lamar Odom, the heavily recruited high school basketball forward who had originally signed with UNLV, has decided to attend the University of Rhode Island, his lawyer said last night.
"Absolutely, yes," Steve Stein told WPRO when asked if Odom was coming to South Kingstown. "My understanding is he was going through the enrollment process earlier today."

Two names are synonymous with Michigan men's cross country in 1997 - John Mortimer and Kevin Sullivan.
But in team competition, scores aren't determined solely on the basis of a squad's top two finishers. Scores are based on the placing of a team's first five finishers, so as good as they are, Sullivan and Mortimer need a strong backup crew if Michigan is to succeed.
