You remember the Notre Dame head football coach Charlie 'Front Butt'® Weis don't you? You know, the guy who keeps losing at home to MSU, has now found a way to lose to Navy, and now thinks he's a BIG TALKER about Michigan. Let's refresh your memory of something old 'Front Butt'® said earlier this year:
"Then we'll listen to Michigan have all their excuses as they come running in, saying how they have a new coaching staff and all those changes, to hell with Michigan."

A Frozen Four primer for Michigan puckheads
The first national semi-final will be North Dakota's Fighting Sioux vs the Eagles of Boston College. The nightcap will pit two longtime rivals in other sports as well as hockey, the Wolverines of Michigan and the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
Michigan advanced by defeating Clarkson in the East Regional final. Notre Dame advanced by upsetting CCHA rival and defending National Champion Michigan State. Boston College beat Miami (O) 4-3 in overtime and North Dakota advanced by winning in overtime as well over Wisconsin.
Michigan and North Dakota are the only two remaining #1 seeds. Boston College has been the national runner up the last two years running, losing both. In fact, despite a title in 2001, Boston College remains snakebit. No team has a better winning percentage in the NCAA tournament the last 11 seasons and yet, they lost in 1998 in OT to Michigan and lost last year to MSU with just 19 seconds to play.
Michigan has ben playing short on defense since the dismissal of Kevin Quick earlier this season and yet keep waiting for this perceived deficiency to show up. Michigan has had difficulties with Northern Michigan, a skating team that hails from an Olympic sized home rink and in looking ahead to the Frozen Four, only BC could even be considered such a team. Michigan, for one game anyway should be able to impose their will on ND.
The Fighting Sioux survived a very hostile crowd environment over last weekend to tip Wisconsin in OT. North Dakota struck twice quickly in the third to erase a 2-0 defecit. North Dakota, once they had gotten the momentum used their size to play havoc with the Badger defense and were able to get their forecheck going and take advantage of their size.
Relive the exciting finish from last year's final in St. Louis and see why college hockey gives tremendous bang for the buck.

Dreadful night for local college basketball
First off, EMU lost at Notre Dame 76-65. It was simply a skill game folks, EMU didn't turn the ball over any more than Notre Dame, they didn't get swept away on the boards actually outrebounding the Irish on the offensive glass. It was simply the skill of the Notre Dame shooters to make their shots, and some were three balls. The Ypsilanti 5 didn't play a bad game, in fact Sophomore Justin Dobbins had another monster game with 26 points and has really elevated his play. EMU could have done a better job from the free throw line but the extra 3-4 makes it would take to make that number look respectable wouldn't have changed the game.
EMU (3-4) is home Tuesday at the ACC for a date with Illinois State.
That sound you hear in Ann Arbor is Tommy Amaker laughing his fool head off. Michigan really hit a sour note tonight in Boston against Hah-vaaad. The Wolverines couldn't have hit water if they'd fallen out of a boat on 20 of 62 shooting (for those scoring at home that's a cool 32.3% clip). The Crimson scored the final ELEVEN points of the game and beat Michigan 62-51. No good way to spin this game, P-U.
Don't fret, the next game is an easy one. Next Saturday at some dump called Cameron Indoor Arena in some whistle stop town called Durham in North Carolina. Apparently this squad is good as they have a #7 next to their name.
The Wolverines are 3-5

EMU hoops show lands in South Bend tonight
That's right Ypsilanti, YOUR Eastern Michigan basketball team travels to the barren wasteland that is South Bend, Indiana tonight for a 7pm tip off with Notre Dame. The Irish are 4-2 while EMU is 3-3. This would be a GREAT opportunity for the team to really show us what they have, a big name team, a road game and a huge opportunity to make statement and for a week or so put EMU basketball back on the map.

Michigan football game day
Look Michigan fans, it can ALWAYS get worse. Just look across the field at Charlie "Front Butt"® Weis, He has far less than you have. His is a program on the rocks while Michigan is suffering a down season. Michigan has HOPE next year, Notre Dame not so much.
Look, sure both teams are playing kiddie QB's and are both 0-2 and yeah the shine is off the apple that is this game but hey, it's Michigan, it's Notre Dame and it'll be fun.
