Zack “Steve” Novak
JimC

Now we have Novak’s nickname! They all come from clueless BTN announcers……STEVE!

CJD

Novak sorry…
Eric

Can’t tell you how proud of this team I am to come off of the heartbreaker with a win on the road over a desperate Minnesota team, GO BLUE!!!
jmblue

Hail to the Victors! The dream continues. What a gutty effort. Incredibly proud of these guys.
Mason

That felt good. This team has learned a big lesson in what it takes to win a big game, on the road, in this league. Go Blue!
Brad

unfortunately…it’ll be a Spring break game…crowd will probably be sluggish next Saturday…but the team will get it done!

jmblue

Students have to get back that weekend anyway (classes resume on Monday). Why not just get back in time for Saturday’s game?

gpsimms

wooooooo!
Chris in NC

Dang I love this team. They play so hard and so well. No dirty play, no taunts, no crap. Just work hard and get it done as best they can!
J.D.

so. D-MO is the butterfly and Novak is now Steve or “The Steve”. Sorry to anyone named steve, but I always thought that name was better suited as a verb “to steve” or noun “a steve”. steve. The name should be something

I think it’s time to put on the dancing shoes. OSU or Purdue could not have beat us today. We traded blows on the road and won. There is no way, MSU will beat us at home, I would bet on it. If we play D like we did today, we win the btt. Right? I mean look at the stats. Minny had a lot to play for and never even really phased us on the road barn.

It’s an exciting fantastic day to be Michigan Wolverine. The emotion and hype is going to get intense this coming week. Have a great week my dear Michigan friends.
