The Michigan football team dropped its season opener to Notre 
Dame, falling to the No. 12 Fighting Irish, 24-17. Since then, the 
Wolverines have remained unbeaten, closing out a three-game 
home streak unscathed and notching a 20-17 comeback win at 
Northwestern. Now, Michigan returns to Ann Arbor for a home 
matchup with Maryland on Saturday before taking on Wisconsin next 
week.

Wisconsin (Oct. 13): There’s no “I” in Chryst.

Michigan State (Oct. 20): The Michigan Daily

Penn State (Nov. 3): The App State game gave 
us flashbacks even without the 7,000 replays 
on BTN.

SMU (Sept. 15): More like Methodisn’t

Rutgers (Nov. 10): Seriously, someone needs 
to drain the hot tub.
Nebraska (Sept. 22): Wendy’s wrote a much 
better joke than we ever could.

Northwestern (Sept. 29): Darren Rovell is your 
most famous alum. 

Maryland (Oct. 6): They need more swing sets 
in College Park.

Ohio State (Nov. 24): Brett XcXurphy

ing who their coach was.
