Michigan-Ohio State. Michigan-Michigan State.
Michigan-Iowa?
Purdue set to invade Alumni
If there is one thing that reporters - and English teachers, for that matter - hate the most, it's a cliché. These phrases, while once innovative and sometimes catchy, are often a way to avoid speaking one's mind.
In sports, these little bits of language are used most often when a team or person is doing well. While a coach may say 'We're taking this one game at a time,' the team's action on the field is always a better indicator of whether a cliché is accurate - or a bunch of garbage to appease reporters.The art of the cliché - Michigan talks the talk and walks the walk
Time is running out on the Michigan baseball team.
With just two four-game series remaining in the Big Ten season and the Wolverines waterlogged in eighth place, hopes of qualifying for the postseason conference tournament are fading fast.
Time running out for defending champions
It would be entirely unjust to look down on the Michigan women's gymnastics team merely because its postseason was cut short during the NCAA preliminaries. Give them a break - the Wolverines failed to advance by the absolute narrowest of margins. Just .
NCAAs or not, this season was a success
At Michigan, the backfield has always been a sacred domain.
Bo Schembechler established Michigan as a running school when he arrived in Ann Arbor in 1969 and prided himself on a grind-it-out, three-yards-and-cloud-of-dust style.
Loss of Howard will be Williams' gain
When life gets a little hairy, lose yourself in Michigan hockey
It's done. It's over with. It was tough - almost painful, even - but I did it. After all, I had no choice.
I rinsed off the cold razor, washed my face and lathered it up. And what was left after I finished? A year's worth of my life, it seemed, everything I had gone through, everything I had experienced - all it amounted to was clippings of hair stuck to the bottom of my filthy sink.
Michigan men's tennis coach Brian Eisner says his team is looking far past the Big Ten Championships, even further than the regional championships.
The Wolverines are experienced and deep - and one of the most dangerous teams in the country. What better time than now for the Wolverines to make a run for the NCAA Tournament?
Eisner's squad primed for Big Tens - and beyond
With a 7-2 conference record, the Michigan women's tennis team appears to be sitting pretty in the conference standings. But due to a large amount of parity in the Big Ten this year, Michigan needs some help to garner the top seed in the conference tournament.At 7-2, 'M' women's tennis hasn't wrapped up conference title just yet
Harris bends his putter, but never the rules
Looking to bounce back from a rough start to the spring season, the Michigan men's golf team traveled down US 23 to Columbus, Ohio, last weekend to compete in the Kepler Intercollegiate.
Playing on the 7,109-yard Scarlet Course, the Wolverines were sitting in a respectable sixth place after the two rounds on Saturday with a team score of 301 for the first round and 295 for the second 18 holes.
Women's golf crunches for 'finals'
Finals time means crunch time. For the Michigan women's golf team, finals have a double meaning. The Wolverines will be finishing their season the weekend of May 1 with a trip to the Big Ten Tournament.
Due to final exams, Michigan has not been competing much as of late. And yet, the time off is not necessarily a bad thing.
Chris Young, a center from Catholic Central High School, committed during the early signing period.
And now, sources within the organization confirm that Leon Jones, a swingman from Battle Creek, will be with the team next season, though his official letter has not yet been received. Jones committed to Michigan before last season, but failed to qualify academically and spent the year in a prep school.
The recruiting game
Rowing team 'Sprints' to Madison for tourney
While most students are either studying or summer-dreaming, the Michigan rowing team has bigger things on its mind.
And 'big' just might be an understatement. 'Mammoth' is probably a better word for this weekend's regatta, which features more than 20 teams, including all seven varsity Big Ten squads. The Midwest Sprints in Madison, Wisc., will be one of the Wolverines' last shots to secure a spot in next month's National Collegiate Rowing Championship.
The invitational the Michigan women's track team ran in this past weekend wasn't the U.S. Olympic Trials. But the meet sure looked like it.
The Wolverines responded to the challenge at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., with only one individual victory, but that does not tell the full story of Michigan's success. 
Few wins, but plenty of success for 'M' women's track team
While most University students are hitting the home stretch of the semester, the Michigan men's track and field team is just getting warmed up. With just more than a month to go until the Big Ten and NCAA Championships, the runners can't exactly relax with the end of finals next week.End of semester? No way, not for Michigan's runners and jumpers

CHICAGO (AP) - Former Northwestern basketball player Kenneth Dion Lee pleaded guilty to a sports bribery charge yesterday and agreed to testify against others charged in a point-shaving scheme at the university.
