Southpaw: A southpaw is known as a left-handed pitcher. The early baseball fields (ones without lights) had to build fields according to the location of the sun so that they could take advantage of the light. The fields faced the east and therefore the pitcher’s left arm would be facing the south, and in reference to a dog’s “hands” the term was coined south paw. That would make all you right-handers northpaws!

I’m sure that anyone who enjoys basketball has been involved in a pickup game before. Pick-up basketball is the sport at its best. There are no plays being run, no coaches shouting out instructions, and clearly no referees calling fouls and managing the game.

Pickup basketball is all about being creative on the court and just being spontaneous. At the Klotsche Center, pickup hoops is no different.

In one of the biggest upsets in college football history, fifth-ranked Michigan laid an egg against Division 1-AA Appalachian State, in an upset one would have to see to believe. That being said, it’s safe to say there weren’t too many believers at first.

See, this game was one of the first broadcasts on the fledgling Big Ten Network, which has no contract in place with the big cable companies. In prior years, a game such as the Appalachian State upset would have likely been shown on ESPN Plus.
