It was much more elegant than that. It was stretching, reaching and cradling ever so carefully. It all took place in mid-air. It ended with a ballerina's toe-touch, one toe down inbounds, before the rest of the 248 pounds crashed to the ground out of bounds.

Soccer looks to turn season around: Limauro and the rest of the Wolverines want to improve on slow start
Disarray - it's the only word that appropriately describes Michigan's soccer season. Last year Michigan won the Big Ten Tournament championship and earned a berth in the NCAA tournament. Additionally almost all of last year's championship team returns.

The sun was gleaming in the California sky, encouraging the natives to skip work and spend their time on the beach. Tall blonde women in bikinis were all over the place, making for a college guy's paradise.
Michigan defenseman Mike Van Ryn lived this frat-boy fantasy this past summer, as he worked as an intern for an advertising firm in California. With all this time to play and look at the beautiful women, what did Van Ryn do? Work.
