Beth pays off Wolverine wager with her unusual voice

I have to hand it to Beth. For somebody who calls her blog I Didn’t Have My Glasses On, she has extremely sharp focus. Beth is a graduate of the University of Michigan. My alma mater is the University of Maryland. So when My Terrapins moved to the Big Ten to join her Wolverines for…

With the opportunity for the eyes of the world to read or not to read this sentence of mine, I’ve accomplished something that started high above one of the wonders of the world 365 days ago.

But my Nashville Hawkeye friends win the drinking game

I know it did not take long for moonshine shots to go down in a mini-manse in Nashville. On the first offensive play of the game, a little past noon Saturday, C.J.
