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.

SportsMonday: What’s left behind

3 weeks ago | michigandaily.com | Noah Kingsley

When I look around the sports desk at 420 Maynard these days, I notice the mementos of my four years as a part of The Michigan Daily’s Sports section. The stuffed animals purchased on hockey beat road trips sit at the corner of the desk. A fake SportsMonday poster I made during the month I got really into Photoshop hangs from the bulletin board. The odd loose balls and discarded signs round out the space.

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

1 month ago | michigandaily.com | Will Cooper

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.
