There’s one man on earth who’s lived in Nalchick, Voronezh and Moscow, Russia; Putnam, Connecticut; Lubbock, Texas; Boca Raton, Florida and Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Meet Vladislav Goldin, who last saw his family as a boy, but as Michigan’s star center, is all grown up now. t.co/BZm6MQRN51

This was the game-changing sequence for Michigan hoops: from Danny Wolf’s block, to Tre Donaldson’s step-back 3, to his game-clinching rebound off the Ace Baldwin miss.

Good evening from Ann Arbor where Michigan (14-5, 6-2 Big Ten) is set to host Penn State (13-7, 3-6).
Vlad Goldin is listed as questionable, a program source tells me he’s been sick today but is expected to try and give it a go tonight. Didn’t go out in early warmups to “conserve energy.”

Those who think USC is bad for the Big Ten has never been to LA in January.

Yale WR David Pantellis tells me he is currently driving to Ann Arbor for a visit this weekend.
He had 61 Receptions, 910 Yards, 8 TD in 2024 — 120 Receptions, 1,681 Yards, 14 TD across his career.
Combined with a 58.8% contested catch win rate, would be a notable boost to Ron Bellamy’s room.

Down in Tampa for Michigan football’s bowl matchup vs. Alabama and got to attend some of practice this morning.
No. 1 takeaway: Bryce Underwood is every bit the 6-foot-4, 210 pounds he’s listed at and the ball just rips out of his hand. As the kids say, he’s built different.

I confess, as Mason Graham leaves Ann Arbor, I’m still torn on my favorite of his childhood stories. It’s somewhere between him bulldozing 5-year-olds on a soccer field and laughing about it, or housing four breakfast burritos after fasting 24 hours to make weight.
The best DT in Michigan history.

Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore stopped by today’s hoops game with QB1 Bryce Underwood.
When he was showed on the board.m, he hyped the crowd up then planted the flag. What a month U-M football’s head man is having.

Me to my dog when I ask him politely to go to the bathroom but he gets the zoomies in front of the neighbors and I look like a crazy person trying to wrangle him.

Really ugly scene here at the end of this one. I’m told people on the field were pepper sprayed.
Lots to sort out.

Final: Michigan 13, OSU 10.
It’s jubilation for the Wolverines, who pull off the largest upset in the history of the rivalry since 1969. Ryan Day might be out of the job.

Ohhhh no. Not like this. Michigan has it first and goal from the 3, then Davis Warren throws his second pick of the game.
Can’t happen.

Good morning from Columbus!
Going to be live “blue-skying” for Michigan-Ohio State today. This might not be for a spot Big Ten Title like recently, but the Horseshoe is still doing its thing.
Chance for U-M to rewrite the story of its 2024 season once and for all.

Touchdown, Michigan.
That was the best drive in a long time and it was pretty much all Kalel Mullings on the 5-play 75-yard march. The senior powers it home from 10 yards out and U-M leads 24-6, 12:10 left Q3.

That’s future Lou Groza Award winner Dominic Zvada, to you.
This guy is just unbelievable — after Warren gets sacked into deep field goal range on third down, he drills the kick from 56 yards no problem. He’s 6-of-6 from 50+!
Michigan 10, Northwestern 0, 1:09 left Q1.

Great play by Aamir Hall to sit in his section of the zone, keep eyes on the QB and make the diving interceptions.
The sideline is fired up about it as Michigan takes over at its own 47.
