Yost’s Field House | This Week in Michigan Football History
This week takes a trip back to the roaring 1920s. World War I was over (we won!) and Michigan was back in the Big Ten conference in the middle of a athletics arm-race. Large new football stadiums started to pop up around the conference but Fielding Yost took a different route - at least a first. He decided to build the largest indoor sports complex of its kind -- Yost Field House. On November 10, 1923 thousands, including 2,000 members of the Marine Core, packed into the new arena for the official dedication. Here's the story:

Bush League | Dr. Sap’s Decals
That was one of the most satisfying Michigan wins in recent memory! Yes, it was a rivalry game, but it was more than just that. It was the proverbial monkey being lifted off Jim Harbaugh’s coaching back. They all count as one, but win #950 for the University of Michigan turned the corner for Jim Harbaugh’s program. He is now 2-2 against MSU and can now look forward to a bye week and November - where wins matter the most. Read on for Sap's Decals for MSU:

1917, 2012 and The Willis Ward Game (1934) – This Week in Michigan Football History
For Saturday’s epic battle against the Spartans, we start briefly with a game in 1917 when the Spartans were the Aggies of M.A.C. We then fast forward to nearly a decade later to 2012 when four field goals got the job done, and on that day we honored Willis Ward – the African American star who was forced to sit out the 1934 Georgia Tech game.
