November 24, 2012 It's two days before Thanksgiving, and I'm talking baseball. How does THAT work out? The Whitecaps have introduced a new hat the team will wear on the road for the 2013 season. With a new logo. It's an homage to the Old English "D" the Tigers wear, and have worn, for over 110 years.
November 24, 2012 As usual, the Lions are having another stellar season. They will have to win the remaining games to hit the 10 win level that they reached last season. In other words, there's a good chance they won't make the playoffs again. But, regardless of their record, the Lions ALWAYS play one high profile game a year. On Thanksgiving.
If there's one thing that sucks about sports, it's lockouts. Lockouts mean no games on TV, no dude time, and a greater chance we'll have to spend time with our women learning how to cook cheese fondue and make potpourri centerpieces. That's why we've been pretty annoyed about this whole NHL lockout.
The NCAA didn't want Grand Rapids to host part of March Madness, the ultimate in basketball, but what do they know. The VanAndel would have been the perfect choice.
Okay, enough sour-grapes. They do love us for hockey.
West Michigan schools' successful run through the Michigan High School Football Playoffs continued in the semifinals over the weekend.
West Michigan will have representatives in four of eight state championship games over Thanksgiving weekend!
While the National Hockey League is still locked out, hockey fans looking for some live puck action can turn to minor league hockey.
Just one win away from the finals!
As we enter the Michigan High School Football Semifinals, many West Michigan teams are still in the hunt for a state championship.
See the schedule for this weekend's games.
November 13, 2012 So Grand Rapids DOESN'T have game! At least the NCAA doesn't think so! WZZM TV 13 is reporting the NCAA has passed on a chance to change the venue for the Tournaments' play in game in 2014 and 2015. Commonly referred to as the "First Four", Van Andel Arena would have hosted the first 2 games, and Michigan State would have been the host school.
Taking a page right out of the "Never Been Kissed" playbook (Drew Barrymore? "Josie Grossie"? C'mon! You know you saw that movie.) a 21-year-old Lansing man forged documents to pose as a high school student. James Nash transferred to Mount Pleasant High School during the first week of school, claiming to be 17-year-old Javier Jones. Now why would anyone ever want to go back to high school? Cafeteria food? Book reports? To scam on underage, naive high school girls? Well maybe, but mostly James Nash wanted to play high school football.
November 10, 2012 In Michigan, Fall really begins with the start of firearm deer season! Up north, it's a state holiday. Kids have school off on the first day of deer season. So many would skip it, the schools thought "why fight it?" This year, deer season has a different feeling.
UPDATE 11:20: The networks have announced that Barack Obama will be reelected to a second term, after wrapping up the state of Ohio.

We'll be following all the results very closely, adding the latest news as states close their polls and announce their winners.
Watch this post for updated information—election results, Senate races, ballot measures, battleground-state news—throughout the night:
The Detroit Tigers have been no stranger to the World Series, appearing in the Fall Classic 10 times and winning the series 4 of those times.
