Sherrone Moore and Wink Martindale celebrate Michigan’s clinching stop
Sherrone Moore and Wink Martindale celebrate Michigan’s clinching fourth-down stop to beat Alabama in ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa, Fla. on Dec. 31, 2024.
Michigan football doesn’t like Ohio State.
It’s a statement that certainly is not “new” to the Wolverines’ fanbase — or anyone who knows anything about college football — but it was one that was reaffirmed in front of the entire world on Monday, in an entirely different arena.
During Monday night’s WWE Monday Night Raw at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, a sign appeared on the Netflix live stream that pointed out the Wolverines’ streak vs. Ohio State: “1,864 DAYS SINCE OSU BEAT MICHIGAN,” the sign read.
The sign, of course, is in reference to the Wolverines’ dominance against the Buckeyes over the last four year on the gridiron — all of which has come under Ryan Day’s tenure at Ohio State.
Michigan’s win streak began on Nov. 27, 2021 with a 42-27 romp over Ohio State at Michigan Stadium. The Wolverines then followed that up with a 45-23 win in 2022, a 30-24 victory in 2023 and then this season’s 13-10 win on Nov. 30, 2024. Over the course of its four-game win streak, Michigan has not only outscored Ohio State 130-84, but also kept the Buckeyes out of the College Football Playoff twice.
Of the Wolverines’ last four wins against the Buckeyes, perhaps none is more historic than the most recent, when Sherrone Moore’s squad upset Day’s Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium after being a near 20-point underdog. Moore improved his record to 2-0 against the Buckeyes, with his first win coming in 2023 when he served as Michigan’s interim head coach. Meanwhile, the Wolverines made Day just the fourth coach in Buckeyes’ history to lose four consecutive games to Michigan.
To make Michigan’s win this year even sweeter, Ohio State was eliminated from competing in the Big Ten championship game — and potentially earning a first-round bye to the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes, however, made the CFP as an at-large, and will compete in Friday’s Cotton Bowl semifinal for a chance at the national championship game.
The Wolverines will look to extend their win streak to five against the Buckeyes on Saturday, Nov. 29 at The Big House in Ann Arbor.
HOUGHTON COUNTY, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) — A Michigan State Police trooper who helped save a woman’s life during a medical emergency in August reunited with her this week, months after she survived sudden cardiac arrest at a Hancock-area campground.
Trooper Lucas Lahnala, assigned to the MSP Calumet Post, met Thursday, November 13, with Rosie Danley, the camper he helped revive in August after she collapsed without warning.
MSP said Rosie was camping with family when she went into sudden cardiac arrest and became unresponsive. Lahnala was on duty nearby and rushed to the scene, where he found Rosie’s son already attempting to help her. The trooper immediately began CPR and connected her to an AED. After several minutes of life-saving efforts, EMS arrived, took over care, and transported her to the hospital.
Although medics were able to regain her pulse, early signs pointed to a grim prognosis. But Rosie not only survived, she has since made a full recovery and is back to work as a nurse.
“I’m really happy I was able to be involved and help,” Lahnala said. “As troopers, we respond to emergencies every day, but moments like this remind us why we do what we do. Seeing Rosie healthy and smiling means everything.”
Rosie expressed her deep gratitude to everyone involved. “On behalf of myself, my husband, four kids and thirteen grandkids, I would like to thank Tpr. Lahnala for being one of my heroes,” she said. “He was a Godsend in my life on Aug. 5. God had a plan, and he is part of my miracle story.”
MSP Calumet Post Commander F/Lt. Jason Wickstrom praised Lahnala’s actions, calling them an example of the life-saving work law enforcement performs every day.
“It’s very rewarding when we can share a story that has such a positive outcome and meet the people we have helped,” he said.
The department extended its thanks to Rosie’s son, EMS crews, medical staff, and MSP dispatchers who assisted. MSP also wished Rosie and her family continued health moving forward.

The competition is held each year in Indianapolis, Ind., at Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts.
More than 100 high school marching bands will compete Thursday and Friday in the preliminary round of competition, then the top 32 bands will move on to the semifinal round on Saturday.
Only the top 12 bands will get the chance to perform their competition shows one last time Saturday night in the finals. Members of all 12 bands that make finals will receive medals for their accomplishments. The prize for the best band in the nation is a coveted eagle-shaped trophy.

Additionally, the Michigan State University Spartan Marching Band will be performing in exhibition at the competition at 8:45 p.m. Friday night. The Spartan Marching Band will be performing a show of popular Broadway hits.
The Michigan high school bands will be competing against marching bands from states including Texas, Indiana, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Ohio, and, for only the second time ever, Alaska.
Marching bands will be judged on their music, their marching, their visual storytelling and more. Each band has been working since the early summer to perfect their 8-12 minute show, often featuring choreography, complex themes, props, costume changes and more.

Washtenaw County residents protest Michigan Medicine’s overhaul on gender-affirming care
ANN ARBOR, MI — JJ McKillop, leader of the LGBTQ+ teenage group True Hope, was willing to bear about 45-degree temperatures Wednesday in Ann Arbor to protest her alma mater.
McKillop, a parent of a transgender child and 1994 graduate of the University of Michigan, said she is “ashamed” by Michigan Medicine’s August decision to end gender-affirming care for minors.
