The Michigan Daily

The Michigan Daily serves as the official student newspaper for the University of Michigan, with its inaugural issue released on September 29, 1890. This newspaper operates independently in terms of finances and editorial content from the university’s administration and student organizations. It is located in the same building as various other student publications at 420 Maynard Street, which is situated north of the Michigan Union and the Huetwell Student Activities Center. In 2007, the historic site at 420 Maynard underwent renovations that were completely funded by generous alumni donations. To celebrate the completion of these renovations, a reunion took place from October 26-28, 2007, bringing together staff members from The Michigan Daily, the Michiganensian yearbook, and the Gargoyle humor magazine.

On Monday night, Jordan Hobbs was selected No. 34 overall by the Seattle Storm in the WNBA draft. Hobbs’ selection makes her the ninth WNBA draftee for the Michigan women’s basketball team, and the third in the last four years.

Michigan basketball thrives by varied portal means

Last offseason, the Michigan men’s and women’s basketball teams’ rosters were in a similar state. Whether it was due to a coaching change or a throng of players heading to the transfer portal, both rosters entered this season with just two returning players who averaged at least nine minutes per game during the 2023-24 season. To fill in their rosters, men’s coach Dusty May and women’s coach Kim Barnes Arico took different approaches.

Let’s get physical (books)!

When was the last time you held a physical book? I considered this question as I wandered through the aisles at Literati Bookstore on a blustery Saturday morning. A friend and I had stumbled into the store after we failed to find a seat at Hyperion Coffee Co down the street, and it was surprisingly busy for such a windy day. When was the last time I not only held a physical book, but sat down and read from its pages?

MLB Opening Day and the magic of baseball movies

The history of baseball is in many ways the history of America itself. Its very nickname — America’s pastime — goes beyond the simplicity of a game, evoking a grandiosity that channels fundamental images of Americana. Baseball legends hold their place in the annals of history next to presidents and national heroes: Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron. When I think back to my own life, it’s filled with memories of the game — I spent my childhood playing catch and watching Tigers games on the TV.
Michigan baseball doesn't need to win on the bump

3 weeks ago | michigandaily.com | Noah Kingsley

On March 25, following a 9-8 loss to Eastern Michigan, coach Tracy Smith offered a rather candid diagnosis of the Michigan baseball team’s status. “The mound is just, it’s abysmal right now,” Smith said. “I can’t sometimes understand what I’m even looking at, the amount of free bases that we give up. You can’t continue to ask your offense … to bail you out time and time again.
It’s okay to go home during break

4 weeks ago | michigandaily.com | Sarah Zhang

When I ask people about their spring break, they respond with accounts of swimming at the beach in Puerto Rico or wandering around the cities of Italy. When they ask me the same question, however, I reluctantly admit that I went home and brace myself for their unsolicited reassurance that going back is also a valid choice.
Guards stepping up in Michigan resurgence

1 month ago | michigandaily.com | Sam Novotny

March Madness success is defined as the sum of a team’s parts. From one to five, and however deep a team goes into its bench, everyone has to perform at a high level to advance in the tournament. While this fact stands true, March is a month of guards, shifty playmakers who can steal the show and at times seemingly single-handedly carry teams to success.
