The Bulldogs were on the road in the U.P. this past week, where they defeated the host Northern Michigan Wildcats 81-66 on Thursday, but couldn’t knock the Michigan Tech Huskies out on Saturday in overtime, losing 75-74.

Ferris went in the Michigan Tech game confident and with the mind set that it was better than Tech.

“We are the first place team in the north in the GLIAC. But it is tough taking on the team we are tied with on their home court. We know we have to be ready to play well and put two full halves of good teamwork together to beat a strong Huskies team.”

“We also know that ‘to be the best, we must play the best.’ We are coming off two very solid performances and hopefully have gained some confidence as we go up to play Northern and Tech this weekend,” head coach Tracey Dorow said prior to the game.

The Bulldogs played the best in the first half going up by 10 with 13:24 remaining, after senior guard Katie Loosvelt sunk both her free throws.

The Bulldogs shut down the Huskies on their next possession as junior forward Jenna Guay grabbed the defensive rebound and junior center Ashley Fleming finished the play with the lay in to go up by 12, 19-7.

The Huskies refused to roll over and began fighting back, to eventually tie the score at 35 all with 1:34 remaining in the first half.

The Huskies’ Tara Ferris fouled Fleming with 12 seconds remaining in the half, sending her to the free throw line. Fleming made them both to send the Bulldogs into the locker room up by two, 40-38.

The Bulldogs came out fighting in the second half, and were able to keep the Huskies at bay as they went up by seven,61-54, with a three pointer from senior forward Sam Johns with 9:10 remaining.

The Huskies once again jumped up and began fighting to get back into the game. With 7:12 remaining in the game, the Huskies’ Katie Zimmerman nailed a three to put the Huskies up by two.

The Bulldogs and Huskies refused to back down and the lead was exchanged twice before either team could control the ball. After the Huskies’ Katie Wysocky made a lay up with 1:47 remaining to tie the score at 69, the game was sent into overtime.

“We must not turn the ball over excessively. We definitely need to minimize easy points (fast break points, points off turnovers, or offensive rebound baskets) and get as many of those on our offensive end as we can,” said Dorrow.

“In order to beat those teams on their home floors, we MUST play tougher than they do and that’s never an easy task. Loose balls need to end up in our hands and if we get our hands on rebounds or steals, we need to finish the play,” Dorow said prior to the game.

The Huskies didn’t allow the Bulldogs many looks from the field and gave up only one field goal to senior center Rachel Folcik, the Bulldogs scored their other three points from the free throw line.

The Huskies escaped with the win and first place in the GLIAC north.

The Bulldogs were led by junior guard Teghan Thelen with 14 points. Folcik and Johns both added 11 points, and Fleming chipped in with 10 points.

The victory against the Northern Michigan Wildcats on Thursday was sparked by a big first half where the Bulldogs posted 50 points and led by as many as 19.

“It’s always good to see your seniors playing well. Katie also has had some strong performances as of late and right now we are using two of our three seniors as weapons off the bench. They are explosive players and when they get on the court, the other team is usually a little tired and we hope to use that to our advantage,” Dorow said before the game.

The Bulldogs dominated in every aspect of the game in the first half, picking each other up and wearing down the Wildcats.

The Wildcats outscored the Bulldogs 34-31 in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to knock off the favored Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs were led by Folcik with a game-high 16 points. Junior forward Caitlin Hutchison, Guay and Fleming all recorded 11 points each in the win.

The Bulldogs continue their road trip next week as they take on Ashland tomorrow at 5:30 p.m., and Findlay at 1 p.m. on Saturday.

After losing the first game on their Upper Peninsula road trip, the Ferris State men’s basketball team shot with pin-point accuracy holding a lead through out the game to knock off Michigan Tech University. The Bulldogs edged the Huskies 88-83 by shooting 69.2 percent from the three point line at SDC Gym in Houghton, Mich.

Michigan Tech and Ferris State swapped the lead all the way through the first half. The two teams only allowed the other to build up five point leads before pulling them back in. The Bulldogs were able to build up a seven point lead right before half time, but the Huskies battled the boards and scored the final bucket right before the buzzer.

Ferris State built up a 10 point lead half way through the second half and was able to keep it above five points until the last minute of the game. The Huskies put on a late charge but the Bulldogs made all but one of their foul shots as Michigan Tech looked to foul. Ferris State shot 57.1 percent from the field for the game, 69.2 percent from behind the arc, 75 percent from the free throw line and made 12 points off turnovers.

The Bulldogs had four of eight players score in double figures. Leading the way for Ferris State was freshman forward DeJuan Wright. Wright came off the bench to score a game leading 30 points. Wright recorded seven rebounds, two assists, 75 percent from the three point line, 72 percent from the field and 73 percent from the free throw line.

Freshman center Justin Keenan, senior forward C.J. Van Wieren and freshman point guard Bryan Pasciak all put up minutes and points in the victory. Keenan scored 19 points, five defensive rebounds and 75 percent from the field and the free throw line while playing 27 minutes. Van Wieren played the best game of his senior year scoring a high of 17 points. Van Wieren converted 100 percent from the free throw line, 50 percent from the three point line and 55 percent from the field while tallying up 31 minutes of playing time. Pasciak scored 10 points, four rebounds, 57 percent from the field and 100 percent from the three point line while playing 33 minutes.

Michigan Tech University was led by guard Robby Springborn and center Sean Geary. Springborn scored 24 points, 43 percent from the three point line and the field and 75 percent from the free throw line. Geary scored 16 points, three assists and 46 percent from the field. Geary helped the Huskies with 28 points from the paint and the 34-28 rebounding average.

In the first game of the northern road trip, Ferris State fell short to Northern Michigan 71-57 in Marquette. The Wildcats built up a 16 point lead half way through the first half. The Bulldogs fought back and pulled Northern Michigan’s lead down to eight points at half time. Starting off the second half, the Wildcats kept the pressure on. Northern Michigan built their lead back up to 15 points before finishing with a 14 point victory. The Wildcats scored 19 points off Ferris State turnovers and won the paint battle as well scoring 18 points to the Bulldogs four.

Leading the way for Ferris State were their big men up front; freshman forward Lou Williams and freshman center Justin Keenan. Keenan came off the bench to score 16 points, grabbing eight rebounds, shooting 100 percent from the free throw line and 37 percent from the field while racking up 35 minutes. Williams played 23 minutes, scoring 14 points, grabbing three rebounds and shooting 54 percent from the field.

Ferris State heads to Ashland, Ohio on Thursday, Jan. 31 to tip off with Ashland University. The Bulldogs make another road trip on Saturday, Feb. 2 to Findley, Ohio to play 11th ranked University of Findley. Ferris State returns to Wink Arena Thursday, Feb. 7 to tip off with Northern Michigan University at 8 p.m.

The Ferris State Bulldogs were unable to notch a win this past weekend against the Western Michigan Broncos as they were forced to settle for a loss and a tie.

The Bulldogs are 10-11-3 overall and 7-9-2 in Central Collegiate Hockey Association play after the weekend.

The teams split a home and home series with game one on Western’s ice.

Western opened up the scoring in the first period with freshman Ryan Watson putting one past freshman goalie Patrick Nagle.

The Bulldogs fired right back with junior left wing Brendan Connolly putting up the first goal for the Bulldogs.

Less than a minute later freshman left wing Mike Fillinger put the Bulldogs ahead by one as he scored with assists going to sophomore Blair Riley and senior center man Adam Miller.

Fillinger was called for a holding penalty after his goal and Western took full advantage as defenseman Nathan Ansell tied the game at two.

Sophomore right wing Cody Chupp scored his fifth goal of the season and was able to put the Bulldogs ahead of Western for the second time in the game with a power-play goal assisted by freshman center Justin Menke and Riley.

The Bulldogs headed into the third period with a one goal lead but it was short lived as freshman Max Campbell scored for the Broncos and tied the game at three.

Junior right wing Matt Clackson gave the Broncos the final lead of the game scoring off a pass from sophomore center Chris Clackson.

Despite an offensive flurry late in the game, the Bulldogs fell to the Broncos 4-3. “Defensively we’ve let up a few too many goals and offensively we need to score more goals.” Fillinger said.

The next night both teams faced off at Ferris in Ewigleben Arena. The Bulldogs came out with determination as they looked to improve on the loss the night before.

The Broncos had a two on one early in the game but senior defenseman Adam Welch made a great play to break up the pass and direct it behind the net preventing a scoring opportunity.

Fillinger scored the first goal of the game and his second of the series as the puck came out to the point where freshman defenseman Scott Witecha took the initial shot. The puck rebounded off Western Goalie Riley Gill and Fillinger was there to knock it home.

Fillinger took a penalty shortly after his opening goal, giving Western a chance to tie the game but the Bulldogs were able to hold the Broncos to only one shot on their power play.

The Broncos took a two minute slashing penalty less than a minute after their power play giving the Bulldogs a one man advantage and a chance to increase their lead, but the Bulldogs were unable to convert.

Senior right winger Jeff Pierce scored for the Broncos shortly after the power play ended on a nice backhand shot over the shoulder of O’Keefe evening the score at one.

The first period was full of penalties as Connolly, Menke, and Bronco’s center Max Campbell were all sent to the box at different times.

The Broncos were able to take full advantage of the power play off of Menke’s penalty as Pierce scored his second of the night throwing a wrist shot over the shoulder of Bulldog Goalie Mitch O’Keefe, putting the Broncos ahead by one.

The Bulldogs ended the third period down by one despite outshooting the Broncos 14-4.

Chupp was penalized for interference with fourteen minutes left in the second period giving the Broncos another power play.

The Bulldogs scored a shorthanded goal as Connolly came down the middle of the ice unchallenged and picked up a pass from left winger Casey Haines,. Next, he crossed the blue line and deked left, then right, and pulled the puck back to his forehand and slammed it into the open net leaving the Gill looking like a deer in headlights.

“That doesn’t happen very often,” Connolly said. “You stay calm and make your move. That’s my move, I stick to that when I get a chance.”

The Broncos picked up a slashing penalty about halfway through the second period and less than a minute later the Broncos took another penalty giving the Bulldogs a two man advantage.

Freshman defenseman Zach Redmond came down the left wing and slipped the puck between the defenseman’s legs, picked it up on the other side, then passed the puck across the crease to a wide open Menke who hammered it home into the open net.

The Bulldogs headed into the third period with a one goal lead as they looked to put down the Broncos.

The Broncos wouldn’t be defeated, as halfway through the third they were able to put one past O’Keefe on a power-play and tie the game at one.

Regulation ended with the teams tied at three and a five minute overtime was introduced to break the tie. Despite offensive opportunities from both teams, the overtime went scoreless and the Broncos and Bulldogs had to settle for a tie.

“We're disappointed with the tie tonight,” Bulldogs head coach Bob Daniels said. “We didn’t lose but it’s disappointing to surrender the lead and wind up with a tie.”

The Bulldogs are away next week as they look to take down the Lake Superior State Lakers and improve their record.

On Sunday, Feb. 3, the American Football Conference Champion New England Patriots look to finish their destiny with a perfect season of 19-0. Standing in their way is Eli Manning and the National Football Conference Champion New York Giants. The two teams kick off from the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. home of the Arizona Cardinals at 6 p.m.

New England’s playoff run went through Jacksonville and San Diego along with their first round bye. The Patriots defeated the Jaguars 31-20 and the Chargers 21-12, both at home in Foxborough, Mass.

The Patriots come into the game as the best in the NFL in the regular season. New England led the league with 36.8 points per game, 411.2 total yards per game and 295.7 passing yards per game.

New England’s non-existent running game was ranked thirteenth with 115.6 yards per game. Even though you didn’t hear Laurence Maroney or Kevin Faulk’s names due to the attention given to Tom Brady’s passing game, they still racked up more yards per game than half of the NFL teams.

Tom Brady’s record of 50 touchdown passes was spread out through his multiple weapons. Receiving almost half of them was wide receiver Randy Moss. Moss pulled in 23 touchdown catches also breaking the single season mark. Brady’s slot receiver, Wes Welker grabbed a single season high of 112 receptions and 1,175 yards. Wide receivers Donte’ Stallworth, Jabar Gaffney, and tight end Ben Watson also helped New England’s spread offense move down the field.

Junior Seau and Mike Vrabel played on both sides of the ball. Seau lined up as the goal line fullback and Vrabel lined up as a tight end. Vrabel had two receptions for two touchdowns this season.

New England’s defense was also up to par this season. The Patriots were fourth with 17.1 points allowed, fourth with 288.3 yards per game allowed and tenth against the run with 98.2 yards per game allowed.

The New York Giants had a much harder playoff run to get this far. Being one of the lower seeded teams, the Giants had to travel for all three games. They defeated Tampa Bay in the Wild Card game 24-14. In the Divisional Playoffs, New York battled Dallas for the third time this season. The Cowboys won the first two battles, but the Giants prevailed in the playoff game winning 21-17. Last weekend, New York traveled to below freezing Lambeau Field where they defeated Green Bay in overtime on the leg of kicker Lawrence Tynes.

The Giants come into the Super Bowl with the best away record of 10-1. New York is ranked fourteenth with 23.3 points per game, sixteenth with 331.4 total yards per game and fourth behind running back Brandon Jacobs with 134.2 rushing yards per game.

New York is led by the arm of four year veteran Eli Manning. Manning played the best out of all the quarterbacks in the playoffs, throwing four touchdowns and zero interceptions. Wide receivers Plaxico Burress and Amani Toomer led the way for the passing attack for the Giants all season. Burress recorded 70 receptions and 12 touchdowns while Toomer grabbed 59 passes and racked up 760 yards.

Tight end Jeremy Shockey, also a big time play maker, got injured towards the end of the season. Taking his place, Kevin Boss has stepped up and become one of Manning’s favorite targets.

The Giants' defense was better than average this season. New York is ranked seventeenth allowing 21.9 points per game, seventh allowing 305 yards per game and eighth allowing 97.7 rushing yards per game. The defense is led by Michael Strahan, Antonio Pierce and Osi Umenyiora. Umenyiora led the Giants with 13 sacks on the season and Pierce led with 103 tackles. Strahan, a defensive captain, is one of only three returning from the Giants Super Bowl appearance XXXV.

With Manning playing the best football of his life and Brady nearing perfection, I think the offensive lines are going to be a huge x-factor in this game. New England’s offensive line has allowed 21 sacks on the season while New York’s offensive line has allowed 28. The Giants' defense led the NFL with 53 sacks on the season but the Patriots are right behind them with 47. I believe if Umenyiora, Strahan and Justin Tuck can put pressure on Tom Brady, the Giants will have a really good chance to win. New York has already proven they can compete with the best in the southern heat by beating Dallas and their weapons. I look for this to be a close game with the offensive and defensive lines deciding the outcome. I got my information from nfl.com.

The National Hockey League All-Star game is the stage for the league's top players to showcase their skills on national TV. This year will be a little dimmer as some of the leagues stars will be missing.

Sidney Crosby, the face of the NHL, is sidelined with an ankle injury. Henrik Zetterberg, leading goal scorer for the top ranked Detroit Red Wings is out with back spasms. Dan Heatley, one of the top scorers for the Ottawa Senators, is out with a shoulder injury. Also on the disabled list are goalies Martin Brodeur and Roberto Luongo.

In this writer's opinion, the All-Star game doesn’t hold too much interest for me. It’s a public relations bonanza where the top executives for the NHL attempt to gather the best players they can and throw them on a hockey rink expecting some kind of fireworks show.

Unfortunately that’s not how it works. Most of the time, instead of brilliant, explosive fireworks, you're left with a pack of sparklers, or maybe a roman candle at best.

It’s coming up on playoff season and these executives expect the best players from each team to put their bodies on the line and play in a game that doesn’t really matter.

I follow hockey very closely and I know that the players are tough as nails. These are the guys that catch a stick across the eyebrow exposing a gash that would bring most men to their knees. Yet five minutes later they're back on the ice with fresh new stitches.

Ok, Sid the Kid’s injury is pretty serious, I’ll admit that, and from what I hear it’s probably best that Heatley stay out of the lineup as well. But I know Zetterberg and a few others I could name would be able to play at the drop of a hat. But why though?

Why not take a break when you get the chance? The hype around the All-Star game is all smoke and mirrors. I don’t believe these players go out on the ice and give it everything they have, and I don’t blame them either.

The All-Star game is supposed to be for the fans, and this part I believe. We are the ones who vote on who plays in the game and we're the ones who watch it, but it’s a bittersweet feeling.

You watch these guys on the ice and yes, they're good, but you know they're better. You know that there's an entirely different gear these guys have and yet we don’t get to see it, and that’s just from the ones who play.

Other than the injuries of four of the starting 12 players, this year, eight other players have pulled out for numerous reasons. So when we're told we're watching the best of the best we're really not.

We're watching the players who decided to show up and give it half of what they have just to do their job for the public relations team of the NHL.

I don’t believe it’s just the NHL either. The National Football League is another great example. In a sport where injuries happen constantly and you never know if you’re walking out of the game or being carried out on a stretcher, why risk it and play in a game with a bunch of teammates you’ve never played with?

If you really want to see the best of the best, really see that fifth gear that these guys can kick it into, watch game seven in the NHL playoffs, that’s were you’ll see an All-Star game. But it won’t be played by the “best” in the league. It will be played by gritty, nasty, hard edged hockey players who put it all on the line because they're not considering tomorrow. No back or shoulder injury will keep a player from a game like that, no way.

In the 1996 NHL playoffs, Doug Brown played for the Detroit Red Wings. He also played with a torn groin muscle and before every game the doctors would pump him full of anesthetic so he could play.

The Red Wings won the Stanley Cup that year, that’s a minimum of 16 games but in reality it was more like 20. By the end of the playoffs, Brown’s groin muscle was nearly completely torn from his bone, but it was worth it to hold the Stanley Cup. You will never see a player do that for an All-Star game.

I’m not trying to take anything away from the players who participate in the All-Star game, rather my hat is off to them. As a fan, I appreciate every game that they play in, and it is quite an honor to be selected as an All- Star.

I always watch a bit of the All-Star game because I do love hockey, and once in awhile lightning does strike and magic happens. So I guess I’ll just sit back, watch a little bit of the skills competition and count down the days until that first playoff game when the show really starts.

I don’t know about most of you, but I can’t stand announcers or analysts. I hate how they always say the obvious, and talk about things nobody cares about. So I compiled my own ideas of what could cost a team the Super Bowl that an analyst would not come up with.

With the Super Bowl less than a week away, I felt like I needed to write about it. Although I don’t really follow professional football, I tend to watch the game more for the ads than anything. I’ve decided to compile a satirical list of ways a team can blow the Super Bowl.

10) The loss of the coin toss. I’m not talking about the Giants calling heads, the coin landing on heads, and the refs claim the Giants called tails. If the ref is out to get the Giants on a coin toss, the Giants can expect a long 60 minute game.

9) A color blind quarterback. Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady had three interceptions against the San Diego Chargers. If Brady or the Giants’ quarterback Eli Manning forget what color their jerseys are, or get confused on the similar color schemes, the defenses will be seeing a lot of playing time, causing points to increase as the defense tires.

8) Forgetting where the end zone is. If the wide receivers forget which end zone they’re headed for, well, it may get interesting. Anyone know the rule of scoring in the other team’s end zone?

7) Black Sox anyone? Let’s hope history doesn’t repeat itself and the bookies and players don’t meet somewhere and strike up a deal about how everyone can make an extra million dollars.

6) A streaker, a clown, and another distraction. I don’t know how many old school games involve some crazy fan streaking the field. One crazy fan that wants a brew and tackles a player could be the game changing performance, and the Patriots may not recover.

5) A ref reliving his glories days. One over-exuberant referee wanting to relive his pee wee football days, and interferes with the play causing A) an interception, B) a sack C) a blown coin toss. Men in stripes should never be given power.

4) Heat stroke, frost bite, cramps or sun poisoning. Granted the teams are playing in Arizona, but both teams were playing in brutal cold temperatures almost two weeks ago and they may not have thawed out. The heat of the desert may cause issues to both teams from the north who only see weather above 70 degrees for a couple weeks out of the year.

3) Scorpion stings. It’s understandable that the teams will want to see the sights of Phoenix, which is one giant sandbox. If a player has an unfortunate incident with a scorpion, rattle snake or some other not-so-cute animal not seen on the east coast, may cause a player to become curious and want to play with the little creature, causing the player to be on the DL, because of venom poisoning.

2) Roping, checking, and playing like Disney’s Mighty Ducks. Remember Mighty Ducks 2? I’m thinking if either team tries to lasso the linebacker, the penalty will be more than 15 yards and an automatic first down.

1) A corn dog. Manning is unable to enjoy food he normally eats in the stands when watching his older brother Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback Peyton Manning play in the playoffs, and is unsure what to do with the ball that is handed to him on the four yard line.

I was sitting at my desk on Sunday wondering what people outside of America did for fun. I wanted to know if everybody played soccer, football, basketball, tennis, and the other Americanized sports.

Of course I knew the answer to my own question was no. So I decided to amuse myself and find out the different types of sports in the world. I’ve even gone so far as to share my findings with you. No need to thank me for the instant enjoyment you’ll find in these sports. But hey, if you try them, be sure to let me know about it.

According to bbc.com, the Man vs. Horse Marathon is a popular sport in Wales. The idea is for man to beat the horse through a 22 mile cross country route. Like any cross country route, this one is filled with steep slopes and natural obstacles to test the endurance of man and horse.

I would think a man would never beat a healthy horse at running but hey, what do I know? Recently, a marine won a large sum of money when he beat the horse. There’s even a way for the man to cheat. The man is allowed to run through a certain part of the terrain but the horse has to run around.

In the town of Sonkajarvi, located in the eastern part of Finland, people participate in the annual Wife Carrying World Championships. The contest is simple. Grab your wife, or somebody else’s, and carry her to the finish line faster than the other contestants.

There are no rules about weight. The fastest winning record set in 1999 was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records. I dare you to go to Finland and carry your wife to the finish line.

While in Finland you can sign-up for the annual Sauna World Championships. It’s simple. All you have to do is sit in a sauna longer than anyone else without passing out. That’s no big deal, right? It only feels like the sun is shining directly on you and there’s no way for you to escape!

In South Australia people throw tuna. This seems simple but full grown fish can weigh as much as 50 kilograms. This competition is annual and former Olympic gold medalist, Dean Lukin, won one year.

How would you like to chase the cheese? In the English village of Brockworth Gloucestershire that’s what they do. Contestants roll a block of cheese down the hill and then chase after it.

This event has been banned time after time because people kept getting hurt. Just think, you would get hurt too if you were chasing a piece of cheese down a steep hill while you were drunk.

Looking for something to do to waste time? You could always play the game Winnie the Pooh played with Christopher Robins. You know what I’m talking about. The one where they each dropped sticks into the river and waited to see whose stick would reach the end of the river first.

Yeah, it’s not my fault they didn’t have anything better to do. But I won’t knock it. According to deadspin.com they play this game in Oxfordshire England. It’s even said to be a lot of fun with a couple of drinks, the right people, and plenty of food.

You’ve heard of arm wrestling but what about toe wrestling. Yes, toe wrestling! This sport is popular in England which is where the World Toe Wrestling Championships are held.

I’m sure you already know how it’s played. It’s like thumb wrestling. Contestants try to force each others' foot down for the win.

Then there’s the World Elephant Polo Association, according to elephantpolo.com. Elephant polo lovers come from everywhere to participate in this sport that’s been around for 25 years.

I must admit that I use to like playing with marbles when I was a kid. Now that I’m older I’m thinking I should try competing in the World Marble Championships.

Just imagine, you can play marbles almost anywhere. No worrying about bad weather with this sport.

In 2006, the British and World Marbles Championships took place in a London pub. What’s interesting is that the game of marbles was invented in 1588. Two men decided to play a game with small glass objects to decide who would get the hand of a certain young lady.

According to the Web site, Interesting Thing of the Day, there is a sport called underwater hockey. Of course this game is played at the bottom of a pool. Using sticks shorter than regular hockey sticks, players dive into the pool and push the puck around.

The interesting part of this game is that there is no one guarding the goals. Players can substitute whenever they feel like it and halftime is only two minutes.

The sport is said to be very demanding. The pressure of the water, pushing around a heavy puck, and holding your breath can start to take a toll on your body. I just really hope people who choose to play this sport can swim.

Underwater hockey was invented in 1954 by a British diving club. There are teams in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North and South America.

The next time you’re feeling a little tired of playing the same American sports, day in and day out, try one of the above. I can’t guarantee that you’ll have fun, but it’s worth a try!
