Ever since Detroit Tigers’ general manager Dave Dombrowski has been in baseball he’s targeted power arms in the rotation. This is why he brought in David Chad as his scouting director, why the Tigers drafted Justin Verlander, Joel Zumaya and Andrew Miller and why they traded for Max Scherzer.

Letter to the Editor: Ramsey should go

Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2011

I was informed of the commentary published in the Echo on Feb. 10 arguing that men’s basketball coach Charles Ramsey should be retained and am compelled to offer another perspective. I’m writing this just after our team has beaten the University of Buffalo. Therefore, my comments are based on the most current and positive information available. Yes, we beat Buffalo, But keep in mind, “one swallow does not make a spring, nor does one fine day.”

Rodgers has stellar Super Bowl

By Nick Shlain · Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2011

Super Bowl XLV was as eventful as any other Super Bowl, and at the same time just as forgettable. The game had everything you could look for in a Super Bowl: two great teams with great quarterbacks, two passionate fanbases, typically over-the-top commercials, ridiculous performances by stale acts during halftime and a drawn out rendition of our national anthem (this year, some lyrics were optional).

Men's basketball should let Ramsey stay

By Jerime Crane · Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2011

After finishing 17-15 last year, the team recorded its first winning season under sixth-year coach Charles Ramsey. Many were expecting the program to continue to improve.
