As a conservationist and an avid hunter of a variety of game, I am deeply concerned about the negative response toward holding a dove hunting season in Michigan.
When the NHL reopened its doors on Oct. 5, 2005 after a one-year lockout, it set a single-date attendance record, selling out 11 of the 15 possible arenas and filling rinks to a 98 percent capacity league-wide.

Izzo and McCallie were joined by fellow college basketball coaches Tommy Amaker (Michigan) and Ernie Zeigler (Central Michigan).

With all the negative buzz facing the MSU football team this year, I agree it is hard to tune into a Spartans game when all I see are lazy mistakes.
Smokey IX, Tennessee's canine mascot, was accused of biting an Alabama player before the teams played. In a related story, Indiana head coach Terry Hoeppner complained Saturday that Sparty gave one of his players a wedgie. NBA Commissioner David Stern said during a preseason conference call that he'd prefer it if the league's players leave their firearms behind when they go out. Stern did make one exception: Dallas Mavericks players are not only allowed, but also encouraged to bring guns to any team function where Mark Cuban is present. The Miami (Fla.) football players who were suspended for their role in a sideline-clearing brawl will participate in the Miami-Dade County police's "Join a Team, Not a Gang" program as part of their sanctioning. The players also are responsible for creating a new motto for the program, but they were rejected when they gave their initial proposal: "As long as it's a team that gets in fights!" After the NCAA rejected McMurry University's appeals to keep its American Indian mascot last week, the school's board of trustees decided to forgo a nickname altogether. Now, school officials must decide which one-word name they want to go by: Pelé, Cher or Shakira. The NCAA declared 7-foot-3 UConn freshman Hasheem Thabeet eligible to play this season. It also declared him to be huge. Glendale Arena, home of the NHL's Phoenix Coyotes, will be renamed after the online employment service Jobing.com, the team announced last week. The team also considered selling the arena's naming rights to Facebook.com, but reconsidered when the Web site asked to keep a mini-feed of every fan in attendance.
Lydia Weiss plans to vote for Gov. Jennifer Granholm on Nov. 7, but it's not because Granholm is a woman, Weiss said. "She's the pro-choice candidate.
Some members of the Coalition of Indian Undergraduate Students would have painted homes Saturday if it had not rained.
Between my twin sister and I, one of us likely won't get married. Black men are either incarcerated, jobless (so they can't financially support a marriage) or involved in interracial relationships.

Children can trick-or-treat for free tonight at the 5th annual Halloween at Eastwood Towne Center from 4-6 p.m.
Bloomington, Ind. — First, it was Illinois' Juice Williams. Then, Ohio State's Troy Smith. On Saturday, the MSU football team made another opposing quarterback look like a transcendent talent, allowing Indiana's Kellen Lewis to pass for five touchdowns and run for a sixth in a 46-21 defeat at Memorial Field. "He's a great athlete — running and passing," said junior defensive end Ervin Baldwin.
Teresa Reyna lives in Lansing, but when the Spanish senior feels like dancing with her friends, she drives to her favorite club in East Lansing. Reyna might be one of those who benefit from a new San Francisco-style trolley that began operating this past weekend between East Lansing and downtown Lansing.
When do you pull the plug? When lesser opponents are dominating? When players are showing up on the police blotter?
St. Louis — My experience at Game 5 of the 2006 World Series went like this: 27 outs, 24 outs, 21 outs, and so on and until it was the final out with two Tigers left on base. I hadn't quite given up hope, as Adam Wainwright's pitching wasn't up to its usual standard. But Wainwright took a new approach for the final out — three curveballs making their way in for strikes to end the Tigers' hopes of a World Series win. Tigers fans all over the country shared in these experiences with me. But my story of Game 5 was complicated by the fact that I was deep inside enemy territory — less than 10 rows off the fence in left center field. Surrounded by Cardinals fans, I was booed, harassed and jeered for every out of every inning on the way to an embarrassing loss. However, I cheered when Justin Verlander stepped up to put away some tough St.
Chicago — It's a great time to be an Ohio State fan. With its football team already ranked No.
On special occasions, you can log onto www.google.com and find the Web site's banner with an array of festive decorations, depending on the holiday or commemorative date. Instead, Google's webmasters should rethink this scheme and portray their Web site in a more accurate light — the two Os should be eyes. Google has become the Big Brother of the world — and you don't hear me complaining.
Two coinciding figures were recently released, and both leave Michigan students and employees-to-be in even more of a bind than they were already in.
Bloomington, Ind. - A week removed from the greatest comeback in NCAA Division I-A history, MSU looked poised to maintain that momentum Saturday against Indiana. It took less than four minutes for the Spartans to get on the board.
