If Jim Harbaugh and his University of Michigan football program were sending scouts to Minnesota games to steal their signs, you have to ask yourself why. It’s hard to believe he was worried about losing to Minnesota.Now, while Harbaugh’s program is under NCAA investigation for an alleged system of in-person sign-stealing that breaks the NCAA’s competitive rules, it doesn’t mean the Wolverines actually bothered to steal the Gophers’ signs. To be fair, it seems like overkill. The U has beaten Michigan twice since 1987, and it usually isn’t close. The teams met Sept. 9 in the season opener for both clubs and the Wolverines won 52-10.On the other hand, Harbaugh was suspended three games this season for violating NCAA recruiting rules, which seems impossible in the Age of Name, Image and Likeness. So, maybe there’s something to the whole thing. Maybe Harbaugh felt as though Michigan didn’t simply have to beat the Gophers, but humiliate them — because no matter what anyone else tells you...Albany Pro Musica kicks off 2023-2024 season

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (NEWS10) - It's likely that, in 2017, nobody at Glens Falls City Hall would have guessed it would have taken so long. City Mayor Bill Collins wouldn't - he wasn't even the mayor yet at the time. Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! On Friday, though, it was Collins who stood under the podium beneath a cloudy, pre-rain sky, to celebrate a project that has spanned three mayors, a venerated late economic developer, and the majority of a $10 million grant from the state of New York. The Glens Falls Event & Market Center is on the rise at last."This promises to be a game-changer in downtown Glens Falls - especially on South Street, long known by locals, sarcastically, as the 'Street of Dreams,'" said Collins on Friday, in front of the empty lot where the farmer's market and event space is set to be built.
