2008 Woodie Awards
It was another week of intense basketball for the women's basketball team. Their first competitor for the week was Marygrove College. The Wolves came out ready to face a very challenging team, instead they faced a team and referees that were whistle happy.
One-Hundred and Twenty Nine seasons. That is how long Michigan Football has been around; let that soak in for just a minute. Now realize the magnitude of what happened Saturday afternoon in Ann Arbor, Michigan suffered its first ever eight loss season in its 129 year history.
The University of Michigan - Dearborn men's basketball team split both games last week, losing 87-45 to the Wildcats of Indiana Wesleyan University, but earning their first win 77-55 in convincing fashion against the Crimson Wave of Calumet College of St. Joseph.
Amidst the rain, wind and snow, they managed to lose their eighth game of the season, setting the record for the only eight loss season the program has had in 129 years. This season has been a huge disappointment for the players and fans of Michigan football.
Michigan - Dearborn got roughed up, as the University of Illinois buried them in a pair of blowout games. Last weekend's set with the Fighting Illini are games the Wolves would rather forget. Illinois seemed to have every advantage, and picked apart the #12 Wolves, by a combined score of 19-2, in both games.
