Engine Coolant – Use one that gives anti-freeze safety right down to the bottom temperatures you might be more likely to encounter; -30^oF/-34^oC is an efficient guideline.
Automobile Storage – Park in a storage. In case you don’t have entry to a storage, put a tarp over the hood or park in a wind-protected space.

Michigan hockey stumbles vs. Notre Dame, settles for series split

Michigan hockey’s team’s win streak against Notre Dame is over.

The ninth-ranked Wolverines fell to the Irish 7-4 Saturday in South Bend, their first loss to Notre Dame in nine games.

After a slow start Friday, Michigan scored five straight in a 5-3 victory in the series opener. It was the Irish that used a five-goal surge to propel it to victory to earn a series split.

Sophomore Evan Werner opened the scoring for the Wolverines (13-8-1, 7-5 Big Ten) at the 11:48 mark of the first period, but Notre Dame answered with five straight.

William Whitelaw and Philippe Lapointe scored power-play goals 32 seconds apart in the second period to make it a two-goal game, but that’s as close as the Wolverines came to a comeback.

They were done in by a disastrous stretch in the second period where the Irish (7-14-1, 2-11-1) scored three goals in 32 seconds. Saturday was Notre Dame’s first Big Ten win in regulation.

Michigan outshot Notre Dame 41-29 but gave up a season-high seven goals.

It faces rival Michigan State, the top-ranked team in the country, for the first time this season next weekend, hosting the Spartans on Friday and traveling to East Lansing on Saturday.

BREAKING: Former Michigan Football QB Alex Orji commits to new school

Michigan quarterback Alex Orji had a visit lined up to see Temple on Wednesday, but Orji won’t make it to that visit after all. It came out on Friday night that Orji had taken a visit to UNLV — something people didn’t know right away. Orji’s visit must’ve been a hit because on Saturday evening the former Wolverine committed to the Rebels.

In a statement to ESPN, Orji said “It felt like a great opportunity to go out to Vegas with Coach Mullen and Coach Dennis. It’s an opportunity to cultivate winning culture.”

Orji told ESPN: “It felt like a great opportunity to go out to Vegas with Coach Mullen and Coach Dennis,” he said of new UNLV coach Dan Mullen and OC Corey Dennis. “It’s an opportunity to cultivate winning culture.”

UNLV is coming off of an excellent season in which it went 11-3 and lost to Boise State in the Mountain West Championship. Former head coach Barry Odom is now at Purdue and the Rebels went out and hired former Flordia head coach Dan Mullen who is now running the program.

Orji will have two years of eligibility remaining with UNLV. Orji finished 2024 going 25-for-47 for 150 yards, three touchdowns, and two INTs through the air. He also ran for 269 yards and a score for Michigan.

If Orji is going to start at quarteback for the Rebels, Mullen will have to trust Orji’s throwing ability — something Michigan appeared to not trust.
