By Nick Shlain · Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2010

Last Sunday the Detroit Lions lost to the Chicago Bears 24-20 in a game we have all seen many times before. The Lions came out playing extremely hard in the first half controlling the game with their stout defensive line. Even with Kyle Vanden Boesch out and rookie of the century Ndamukong Suh drawing double and triple teams on every play (not to mention more than a few uncalled holds).

By Ryan Larimore · Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2010

It’s easy to look at the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team’s record and say it has been a disappointment so far.
