Local News for University of Michigan-Ann Arbor

Physicality a key for Michigan this week against Michigan State September 30th

Since Rich Rodriguez and his coaching staff at Glenville State came up with the crazy idea to run a two-minute offense for the whole game, he has had to deal with common perceptions about the spread.The offense is about speed. It’s about finesse, style points and flash.It’s not about toughness.When he took the Michigan job after Lloyd Carr’s retirement, Rodriguez was berated with questions about how his high-octane offense could possibly work in the Big Ten, still home to 320-pound linemen and the “three yards and a cloud of dust” philosophy.

Michigan receives more men's basketball interest than expected September 29th

Last year, with the Wolverines coming off a 10-win season, 480 students bought tickets.But after last season's second-round finish in the NCAA Tournament, almost 2,000 more student tickets have been sold.In order to make sure Crisler Arena doesn’t encounter the same seating issues as the Maize Rage did at their meeting, the athletic department overhauled the ticket policy.

Michigan special teams personifies team's improvement September 29th

In South Bend last season, the Wolverines muffed and lost two consecutive kickoffs within 10 minutes of each other, giving Notre Dame a 14-point handicap that helped it coast to a 35-17 victory.The coaching staff mixed up the returners the next week. And the next week. And the next.None of it helped.The special teams unit repeatedly put the team in perilous situations, which obviously didn’t help the struggling defense, a downcast bunch that had to march back on the field immediately after forcing a rare punt.Nowadays, Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez doesn’t like to talk about last season or make comparisons between the 2008 and 2009 versions of his team. He’ll rarely respond fully to a question that makes any reference to the numbers three and nine.

The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (UM, U of M or U-M) is a coeducational public research university in the U.S. state of Michigan. Founded in 1817 about 20 years before the territory of Michigan officially became a state, the university moved to Ann Arbor in 1837. Today, it is the state’s oldest university and the flagship campus of the University of Michigan system. World Report ranked the university’s undergraduate institutions 24th in the United States, and in its last published survey in 1995 the The National Research Council ranked UM third in the United States in a study that spanned 41 graduate disciplines as to aggregate quality of graduate programs. The university has one of the largest research expenditures of any American university and one of the largest number of living alumni at 420,000. UM also owns one of the most well-regarded academic medical centers in the United States, the University of Michigan Health System. The university is also recognized for its history of student activism and its athletic teams, notably in football, men’s basketball, and ice hockey. Despite being a public institution, the University of Michigan is known for its high student fees; Also, though the university successfully affirmed before the U.S. Supreme Court that consideration of race as a factor in admissions to universities was constitutional in 2003, Michigan voters approved restrictions on affirmative action in public universities and governmental hiring in November 2006. The University of Michigan was established in 1817 by the Michigan Territory legislature in Detroit, on 1,920 acres (7.76 km²) ceded through the Treaty of Fort Meigs by the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi peoples. Women were first admitted in 1870, making UM the first major university to do so (and the third college overall, after Oberlin College in 1833 and Lawrence University in 1847). Angell, who served as the university’s president from 1871 to 1909, aggressively expanded UM’s curriculum to include professional studies in dentistry, architecture, engineering, government, and medicine. UM also became the first American university to use the seminar method of study. The debate still continues, however, because in November of 2006 Michigan voters passed proposal 2, banning most affirmative action in university admissions. in the meantime, the admissions office states that it will attempt to achieve a diverse student body by looking at other factors such as whether the student attended a disadvantaged school, and the level of education of the student’s parents. The August 1, 2006, publication of The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students highlighted the University of Michigan as one of the 20 best campuses for LGBT students. The university has 25,555 undergraduate and 14,470 graduate students in 600 academic programs, and each year about 5,400 new students are enrolled. The Medical School is partnered with the University of Michigan Health System, which comprises the University’s three hospitals, dozens of outpatient clinics, and many centers for medical care, research, and education. Currently, out-of-state tuition at UM is the most expensive in the United States for a public college or university. To that end, the university is building a $400 million endowment in order to replace loans with out-right grants to students. The university has one of the largest annual research expenditures of any university in the United States, totaling about $775 million per annum from 2004 to 2005, and $797 million in 2006. UM also has a technology transfer office, which is the university conduit between laboratory research and corporate commercialization interests. UM helped develop one of the first university computer networks and has made major contributions to the mathematics of information theory. The university’s 13,000-acre (53 km²) biological station in the Northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan is one of only 47 Biosphere Reserves in the United States. UM is home to the National Election Studies and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index. The University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute is located at the university, and support was recently given to the life sciences with the establishment of the Life Sciences Institute and the construction of associated facilities. UM’s financial endowment (the “University Endowment Fund”) was valued at $5.65 billion in NACUBO’s 2006 ranking. In the most recent academic year for which such figures are released (2005), the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) — using a variety of metrics — ranked UM’s library system as one of the top academic library system in the U.S. UM was the original home of the JSTOR database, which contains about 750,000 digitized pages from the entire pre-1990 backfile of ten journals of history and economics. The University of Michigan is home to a number of museums, whose focuses include archeology, anthropology, paleontology, zoology, dentistry, and art. The natural history public collections are housed at the University of Michigan Exhibit Museum of Natural History, which displays items from the collections of the paleontology, zoology, and anthropology museums. Another major university museum is the University of Michigan Museum of Art, with a permanent collection of European, American, Middle Eastern, Asian, and African items, and temporary exhibits on a wide variety of subjects. The campus also consists of leased space in buildings scattered throughout the city, many occupied by organizations affiliated with the University of Michigan Health System. It originally had a school and dormitory building (where Mason Hall now stands) and several houses for professors on land bounded by North University Avenue, South University Avenue, East University Avenue, and State Street. Because Ann Arbor and Central Campus developed simultaneously, there is no distinct boundary between the city and university, and some areas contain a mixture of private and university buildings.
