…ALBUM REVIEW After almost three years, the British folk band Mumford and Sons steps back into the spotlight with their new album Delta. However, after eagerly awaiting the band’s return since their 2015 release Wilder Mind, which featured a stronger pop-vibe to the band’s trademark folk, Delta is lackluster and disappointing. Mumford and Sons seem to be in the midst of an identity crisis, almost completely losing touch with the...…

…Why Michigan/Ohio State will win The Game I get it. You look at the recent history against Ohio State — losing 13 of that last 14 matchups — and you think a loss is inevitable. Then, you see the Michigan football team has to rewrite that history in Columbus, where it hasn’t won since 2000.
