    Questions from a casual fan about Whalen

    I have not followed women's basketball closely over the last few years, but root for their success. When Whalen was hired I was excited by the idea of having the most popular and accomplished player in team history leading the program. I figured it would take time for her to find her footing...

    Getting to know Central Michigan University

    Central Michigan University is located in Mt. Pleasant, MI. It appears to be located just about in the dead center of Michigan's lower peninsula, go figure. For the geographically challenged, the lower peninsula is the part that looks like a mitten, not Wisconsin's comb-over. The Chippewas...

    Berkley Edwards

    Anyone heard how Berkley Edwards is doing? I realize that he’s likely to redshirt, but I’m wondering if anyone knows if he’s fully recovered, practicing at 100%, running with the scout team, etc.?

    Is traffic congestion a real problem at TCF Bank Stadium?

    How will you (initially) evaluate the new hire?

    Whether this hire ultimately proves to be a good one or a bad one will be determined over a period of years, but like the media and most fans, I will form an initial assessment once the new guy is announced. Too often, teams seem to try to address the shortcomings of the last coach by hiring...
