Michigan sports has a lot going on today - the schedule
Ok, so I'm a bit of a Michigan sports stan, but saw that we have a pretty busy day in Michigan sports today.
12:00 PM ET
- #2 ranked and 3-seeded Field Hockey hosts Miami (OH) in the first round of the NCAA tournament at Phyllis Ocker Field.
- #12 Men's and #12 Women's Cross Country are running the Great Lakes Regional in Evansville, IN. Both can automatically qualify for Nationals if they place in the top 2, or roll the dice on an at large berth. The women are riding a 19 year streak of qualifying for nationals.
6:00 PM ET
- Big Ten Champion, 9th ranked, and #2 seed Women's Soccer will host Bowling Green in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at UM Soccer Stadium. The game will stream live on NCAA.com
7:00 PM ET
- As we all know, Hockey plays @ Penn State tonight after a crushing 5-1 victory last night. The game will be on BTN+. Boo.
- But that's not the only match against PSU this weekend. Michigan volleyball is hosting #15 PSU at Cliff Keen Arena tonight in their Pink Match. PSU is really good, but struggling a little this season, lagging behind usual suspects Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Nebraska, but also Purdue and osu (all 5 are in the top 11, with NU-L surprisingly bringing up the rear). It would be great to see senior Paige Jones go out with a win in what will likely be her final match against PSU. Also on BTN+. Whatevs.

Girding myself for the inevitable "Wolverine Devotee" comments. I am merely "a Wolverine devotee" not THE Wolverine Devotee. aWd and not tWD, if you will.

did you ask ohio state for permission to use The
November 12th, 2021 at 10:12 AM ^
Most of the free world use "The", the cooler poopers prefer THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.....
November 12th, 2021 at 10:14 AM ^
I did not , nor do I plan to, get permission to use
November 12th, 2021 at 10:24 AM ^
Funny enough, this image could possibly be trademarked, and thus, the owner could ask you to stop. The simple use of the word "The" however, thankfully, is a no.
November 12th, 2021 at 1:18 PM ^
You mean copyrighted. There's no conceivable way that the post could be a trademark violation, even if the image was a registered trademark (such as the OSU logo), since there's no likelihood of confusion as to the source of goods or services.
And it's really not a could, the image is almost certainly copyrighted, although the scope of the protection is likely small, and the chance that the owner would find out and bother to ask the poster to stop even smaller.

logged in to +1 the The the reference!
November 12th, 2021 at 9:57 AM ^
Go field hockey, soccer and volleyball ladies! Go Blue!
November 12th, 2021 at 10:16 AM ^
Mais oui!!!
November 12th, 2021 at 11:37 AM ^
I love november! SO MANY SPORTS!!
November 12th, 2021 at 12:02 PM ^
How does a second ranked team get a 3 seed?
November 12th, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
No idea. But it looks like the Big Ten have wrapped up all top 4 seeds
- Rutgers
- Iowa
- Michigan
- Penn State
Although we appear to be down 0-2 to Miami at the moment

I guess I feel better about losing to Rutgers in the B1G tournament since they got the #1 seed; had no idea they were good, and was initially pissed to hear that we had avenged our loss to formerly #1 Iowa only to lose to Rutgers...
November 12th, 2021 at 12:33 PM ^
Damn Field Hockey Playoff Committee...
November 12th, 2021 at 12:35 PM ^
#3 overall. Doesn't look like anyone is really seeded in the field hockey tourney but the 1's
November 12th, 2021 at 1:01 PM ^
That makes perfect sense
November 12th, 2021 at 12:32 PM ^
Doesn't look like it's going well for field hockey. Down 2-0
November 12th, 2021 at 1:08 PM ^
2-1 at the start of the 2nd half now. Lots of chances for Michigan but couldn't equalize yet.
Penn State (the top seed in their quarter of the bracket) is down 2-0 halfway through the third quarter. Rough start so far for the B1G.
EDIT: PSU is now down 3-0. Yikes.
November 12th, 2021 at 1:44 PM ^
Ugh. we have hit a post and a crossbar with separate tying attempts.
November 12th, 2021 at 1:45 PM ^
PSU just got spanked, lost 4-1.
Michigan running out of time in the 4th, down 2-1.
November 12th, 2021 at 1:49 PM ^
Huge tying goal with just over a minute left. Go Blue ladies, let's go get the win!
November 12th, 2021 at 1:49 PM ^
GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!
2-2 with a minute to go!
November 12th, 2021 at 1:55 PM ^
GOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
Winner by Southam with 2 seconds to go! Survive and advance!
November 12th, 2021 at 1:58 PM ^
Ho-lee crap. That's an insane ending sequence!
Game is 60 minutes long. Michigan was down 2-1 with 1:02 to go. Michigan scored the equalized with 1:01 to go. They somehow got the ball right back and scored the go-ahead goal with :02 left on the clock. INSANE.
You can't script this stuff. Gotta feel bad for Miami, but wow, that's one majorly gutsy comeback by Michigan. GO BLUE!
November 12th, 2021 at 2:19 PM ^
Yeah, for the entire second half it felt like one of those hockey games against Air Force where we are outshooting them by a mile but it just wouldn't go in. One off the post in the third, another off the crossbar in the fourth, just seemed like one of those games. Once we tied it though, it was just a question of whether we would score again in regulation or OT or have to go to a shootout. What a great way to end it.
November 12th, 2021 at 5:30 PM ^
Miami (OH) giving up two soul crushing goals in the last 2 minutes of regulation to end their season. Where have I seen that before...
November 12th, 2021 at 1:55 PM ^
Talk about a buzzer beater, we take the lead with 2 seconds left! Go Blue!
November 12th, 2021 at 2:18 PM ^
Thank you for this nice summary of today’s events. Go Blue!
November 12th, 2021 at 2:53 PM ^
Both men and womens cross country finished third in their respective regionals today. They will hope for an at large birth to the ncaa championship now. Oddly enough, the top five finish in both men and women was identical:
1. Notre dame
2. wisconsin
3. Michigan
4. msu
5. butler
November 12th, 2021 at 3:17 PM ^
3rd will get in for men and women. Great Lakes region almost always has the greatest team depth. Often top 4-5 get in from Great Lakes.
This year, Butler men took 5th. But they also beat Georgetown in Big East. Georgetown took 2nd in the Mid Atlantic region for an automatic. The selection committee looks at stuff like that seriously. I'm confident 4 will get in from Great Lakes men and maybe Butler as a 5th.
November 12th, 2021 at 4:57 PM ^
Ooh. Michigan Field Hockey will play Harvard Saturday!
November 12th, 2021 at 5:05 PM ^
Wow, big ten sends 5 teams to the quarterfinals
michigan vs harvard
rutgers vs liberty
iowa vs northwestern
Maryland vs syracuse
with northwestern knocking out three time defending champ North Carolina, we will finally have a new champion
November 12th, 2021 at 6:12 PM ^
I don’t get how Liberty became nationally relevant in multiple sports in just the last decade. I know theyve got all sorts of money from online school, but its suspicious. Who wants to go to a conservative christian school in the middle of nowhere with no historic success in anything. Fishy

Michigan women's soccer just took down bowling green 3-0 and advances to the next round where they will play the winner of Wake Forest and Harvard.
