University of Michigan's Best Bets, Part VI: Other Sporting Events

University of Michigan's Best Bets, Part VI: Other Sporting Events

"We offered no charge for tickets and people still don't come!"

 


News that’s in any way appealing comes rarely from Ann Arbor during Summer Term, so to spare you all from the reaching Ripe Produce stories that get a good deal of complaints, I’m opening up a Michigan OTR edition of The University of Michigan’s Best Bets. The best bets will ask and hopefully answer some questions that incoming freshman may have as they get ready to make their first impressions on campus. There will be a new topic to be voted on every day until I run out of ideas and get desperate like new seasons of Family Guy, running the earlier success into the ground. Get over it.

 

Post an answer in the comments if you don’t like the options and if others agree, it will be added to the options. If you guys have your own best bet questions you want to see put up feel free to send them in to the tip line and if they don’t suck I may use a few.

 

Part VI:

Ok, so we’ve covered the fact that football at Michigan is everything. However, despite a down season for the football team, the University of Michigan athletic program (across all sports) was ranked #3 in the nation (How do you like them apples Buckeyes?). Only UCLA and Stanford had more points in the Directors’ Cup standings. So with all that success coming outside the Big House, the sixth question of Michigan’s Best Bets is: Outside of Football, what Michigan sports team is the best to go watch?

Men's Basketball

Hockey

Baseball

Women's Basketball

Women's Soccer

Men's Soccer

Other (Volleyball? Track and Field? Lacrosse? You guys tell me...)

Let's face it, it's football or bust

Nothing is greater than football, but I'll say they did a hell of a lot better. And students actually get behind the team. Posted 07/02/2008 2:09 PMReply

Drunk at a water polo game = the best

It's hot and sweaty in there, adding to the drunken dubochery

lacrosse games are actually pretty fun. they usually get about 500 people per home game. bigger games (msu, etc.) draw around 4,000. Posted 07/07/2008 2:24 PMReply
