The Ypsi-Arbor Bowl: Eagles make short trip to Ann Arbor

No. Eastern Michigan doesn't run the option. Eastern coach Rick Rasnick assured media the other day that his Eagles wouldn't use the much-publicized formation tomorrow against Michigan, despite the Wolverines' even-more-publicized inability to stop it thus far in the season.

Ray's departure not what 'M' needs

That groan you heard across campus yesterday echoed from Schembechler Hall. It was the Michigan football team's anguish at the loss of a leader.

Michigan almost has it all versus Eagles

When the ball kicks off in the Big House tomorrow at 12:10 p.m. the usual excitement of a Michigan football game may be absent. On a normal Saturday, a mighty opponent enters the Big House attempting to steal a victory. Last week, it was Syracuse flexing its muscles, successfully in fact, toppling the once-mighty Wolverines.

Sosa misses chance to go ahead of McGwire

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Gary Gaetti, not Sammy Sosa, hit the big home run for the Chicago Cubs. Still, it took a lucky bounce on the game's final play in the 10th inning for the Cubs to hold off the San Diego Padres 4-3 yesterday and keep their wild-card lead.

Huskers hope quarterbacks get back in time for Huskies

Three games, three victories, three quarterbacks. While new coach Frank Solich has Nebraska off to a perfect start - who expected less? - injured quarterbacks certainly weren't part of his game plan.

Georgia's Hollingshed battles loss of parents and other tragedy

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- A smile comes easily for Adrian Hollingshed, especially when the subject is his oft-mispronounced name. Everyone seems to mess it up, even his coach. For the record, it's "Hol-ling-shed," not "Hol-lings-hed."

Vols open vs. Gators

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- For years it was the crimson worn by Alabama that confounded Tennessee and its fans. But three straight Tennessee victories ended that. Now the presumed 800-pound gorilla on the Volunteers' psyche wears the blue and orange of No. 2 Florida, which will try to run its winning streak in the series to six games when it visits Neyland Stadium tomorrow.
