I was about two years younger than its protagonist, but a year older than the origi- n...…

…The years spanning 1991 to 1993 are widely recognized as the peak of golden age Hip-Hop. This title has been rightfully earned due to the creativity and diversity pres- ent within the music produced at the time. But what about what came after? Hip-Hop’s evolution and growth in popularity during this period led to the dilution of its creative impact and what I would consider to be a stale placeholder of what once was. By no means do...…

…Just two games stand between the Michigan hockey team and ascendance. By no means should it be a sur- prise that the third-ranked team in the Pairwise is heading to Tampa and the Frozen Four with a shot at the title.

Up until now, in the NCAA Tourna- ment the Wolverines have simply been doing what they should have done — thrash a low-ranked team...…

The sophomore forward beat an opposing goalie with his shot. The No. 1 seed Michigan hockey team pulled off overtime hero- ics. Another dramatic comeback victory.

…The newness of Erin Virtue’s tenure as Michigan’s new head volleyball coach is obvious. Just walk into her office in Weiden- bach Hall where a new name adorns the door. And that’s pretty much all that hangs on the walls. Blank walls, void of memo- ries, but with plenty of room to make new ones. Blank walls, save for one thing. One golden thing: her Olympic gold medal. That medal highlights Virtue’s pin- nacle. She’s summited the mountai...…

…Academics or athletics? Most top student athletes don’t need to choose between the two. But, for freshman women’s club hockey player Julia Lindahl, her journey started with that choice. “Honestly, I ultimately decided on Michigan because of the academics,” Lindahl said. “I never really looked into the hockey program in depth or con- tacted the coaching staff until getting accepted.” Lindahl chose Michigan because of its academic oppo...…
