Daily Sports Editor Yesterday - almost one year to the day after the firing of former Michigan basketball coach Steve Fisher - the Wolverines' newest basketball coach, Brian Ellerbe, fielded questions during this year's preseason media day.

Gophers should go dig up some holes to hide in

For the Daily It's the middle of October and that means the Big Ten season hits full stride this weekend. This is the time of year football traditionalists live for. It's time for three yards in a cloud of dust, smash-mouth, knock-down, drag-it-out, I've-got-more-game-than you, your-mom-went-to-Michigan-State, you-just-suck football.

'M' volleyball hopes to spike two Big Ten rivals

Daily Sports Writer Inconsistency has plagued the Michigan volleyball team this season. The Wolverines haven't been able to mount any sort of a significant winning streak. It seems as though every time they win, they lose the next match.

Women's tennis hosts first tournament: With spanking-new outdoor courts ready, Hart and Lund look to improve

Assistant coach Terry Ann Zawacki began her post with the Michigan women's tennis squad last year, at the same time the outdoor courts at the Varsity Tennis Center did. The Wolverines welcomed both with open arms. "The whole Michigan Athletic Department really helped me out when I first got here," Zawacki said. "Everyone here is really great."

'Tough' Bates returns for Wildcats: Back from injury, Northwestern's star wideout seeks another bowl game

In the first game of the season, no one thinks about injury - least of all an All-America candidate. All thoughts focus on the future and what's to come.

Barnett looking for respectability - again

The city of Chicago never really had a collegiate athletic program to root for. The University of Chicago - one of the founding members of the Big Ten and a producer of football pioneers such as Amos Alonzo Stagg -dropped out of the conference in 1940, focusing primarily on academics.

Yost fans' passion a lot more than just yell

Echoing through The Old Barn, the tumult grows from the opening introduction. Ernest Thayer called it a "lusty yell." The fans call it loyalty. I call it passion.

Field hockey ready to stick it to Spartans

Blue hosts Interregional

Winning. It's the one thing all athletes love.

Pain. It's what most athletes hate.

Wolverines invite top cross country teams to Invitational

When you're the No. 3 team in the country, sometimes it takes a little intangible- like running on your home course- to push your team even further over the top.

'M' crew paddles for national title

Three years ago, the University of Michigan did not have a varsity women's crew team. They didn't have a team invitation to the NCAA Championships, and didn't have a top 10 ranking because they simply didn't exist at the varsity level.

Passing the torch

Last year was supposed to be the year of lowered expectations for the Michigan hockey team. The Wolverines were supposed to finish third in the CCHA, put up a good fight at regionals, and use that experience to contend for the national title this year.

A goalie from Oklahoma?

The Michigan hockey team's success this season may lie on one freshman's shoulders - again. It's a scary thought for any coach, but Michigan coach Red Berenson isn't afraid. He's done it before - twice.

Bubba means defense

Bubba Berenzweig is what many people would call a man's man. At six feet, one inch and 212 pounds, the senior defenseman and captain is an intimidating presence. People like him are born and bred to play hockey, one might say.

Last season, the Michigan hockey team had a young defensive corps - one that Michigan coach Red Berenson hoped wouldn't be responsible for losing many games because of its inexperience.

'M' looks to reload up front

Last fall, Michigan was wondering how its offense could ever recover from the loss of Brendan Morrison. The Wolverines managed.

Langfeld on deck

Josh Langfeld was going to be a baseball player. And why not? He was an all-state catcher at the largest high school in Minnesota. Sure, he played football and hockey, too - all-conference - but baseball was going to get him a scholarship.
