Trans people belong in sports. Just like everyone should have the chance to be on a team. My column on the NAIA transgender policy that will hurt student-athletes, plus the self-imposed silence from administrators that speaks volumes.

Now if only they could figure out a way not to have Cat-Griz the same weekend as every state championship game. Now those four games on Saturday and the one Friday get even more overlooked. That’s what should be talked about this week. It’s far past time to fix this!

I usually spend early March covering state hoops but this year, I'm gonna be a little busy... My wife and I are expecting baby No. 2 and cloud 9 doesn't do this feeling justice. I'm 100x happier than the last two Michigan wins over Ohio State. Can't wait to be a dad again.

He told the truth. It was an ass-kicking. Wish more coaches would quit with the coach speak. Don't like it? Do something about it. Nothing worse than pretending this isn't a rivalry.
