I posted on Facebook a week ago that backing in as an 8 seed to play Goliath had worked well only 2 years ago. Lightning does strike twice. Goliath is dead, long live City.

We chant, sing, and stand on stolen Anishinaabe land.

On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we stand with those fighting for sovereignty, clean water, and justice.

Three years after Joe Biden became the first president to formally commemorate Indigenous Peoples’ Day, more than a dozen states and many cities recognize some version of the day either alongside or instead of the federal holiday Columbus Day. Here is what to know.

Michigan Panthers will not play in 2026. UFL leaves the door open to a return if a suitable venue (AlumniFi Field) comes available.

Need a suggestion on what to wear tomorrow? Why not orange? Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day (National Fay for Truth and Reconciliation in 🇨🇦). Raise awareness of the attempted genocide of indigenous Americans by Church and State.

This Saturday will be the 103rd meeting of Eastern Mich and Central Mich. They first played in 1902, but THERE WAS DRAMA.

Both schools were Normal schools (teacher training schools), but EMU claimed that Central played a professional football player, and that's why they won.
