MORE: Best-case vs. worst-case scenarios for Top 25 teams | Michigan Athletics’ Facebook page hacked Davis, a fifth-year senior, was expected to be an All-American candidate this season. “We’re so disappointed for Ed Davis, and his presence in the lineup will be missed,” MSU coach Mark Dantonio said in a statement....

On Thursday, the university unveiled a new alternate uniform for the 2015 season, and it is pretty sharp. MORE: Michigan basketball uniform history | No overlooking the Spartans anymore The new Nike Mach Speed uniforms are inspired by bronze spartan shields and the phalanx battle formation, according to Nike’s Heidi Burgett. We’re guessing this is the first set of uniforms inspired by an ancient battle formation.

Citing a source close to the Michigan program, ESPN reported that Butt suffered a torn ACL in Friday’s Orange Bowl loss to Florida State and will undergo surgery. MORE: 2016 SN All-Americans Butt, a 2016 All-American and recipient of the John Mackey Award for most outstanding tight end, suffered the injury in the second quarter. ESPN’s Darren Rovell reported Friday night that Butt purchased $2 million in loss of value insurance he would collect if he falls below the second round in the 2017 draft — which isn’t out of the question if teams are scared off by a recovery period that typically takes 12 months....

The girl’s hair was originally cut by a classmate on the school bus but was cut again by a teacher at Ganiard Elementary School days later to “even it out.” Jimmy Hoffmeyer said his biracial daughter came home on March 24 with much of the hair on one side cut after another child grabbed on a pair of scissors. Hoffmeyer took his little girl to a hair salon to make the differing lengths less obvious but was enraged to discover that two days later, a teacher had also taken to his daughter’s hair....

It was the Wolverines’ first win over a ranked team on the road since 2006 and just their third win over Michigan State in the last 11 seasons.

Game time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and it will be televised on FOX. Michigan State (3-4) has endured a disappointing season to this point under third-year coach Mel Tucker, but the Spartans broke a four-game losing streak before the bye week in a 34-28 double-overtime victory against Wisconsin. Tucker is also 2-0 head-to-head against Michigan, so the chance to play spoiler is there. MORE: Six unbeaten teams create four huge debates for CFP ranking...

The researchers estimate that the oceans could be home to as many as 125 trillion microplastic particles, according to a study published in the journal Environmental Pollution. The tiny pieces of plastic—usually defined as plastic pieces measuring less than 5 millimeters across, according to the most recognized definition—are ubiquitous in the marine environment. However, accurately classifying and quantifying microplastics in the oceans has proven challenging for researchers. Typically, scientists use nets with a mesh size of 333 micrometers to sample microplastic particles in the water, but these do not account for smaller pieces of plastic debris....

While Johnson’s fellow flyweights supported him, top names in the sport haven’t. Until now. Former women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate, who’ll be an analyst for the pre-game and post-show festivities on Fox Sports 1 for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 110 featuring a heavyweight main event between Derrick Lewis and Mark Hunt, says the pound-for-pound great wasn’t out of line for saying what he did. She told Sporting News: The main criticism UFC has faced since the introduction of the flyweights is the lack of knockouts within the division, which keeps them from drawing money because they aren’t heavyweights....

Eventually, she will have championship aspirations, but Tate isn’t rushing into that. Now, the 35-year-old former UFC and Strikeforce bantamweight champion is looking to test herself in another way. MMA Fighting is reporting that Tate will be making her flyweight debut against former contender Lauren Murphy. Initially set for UFC 273 on April 9, the fight is now slated for a May 14 UFC card, per Mike Heck ....

After criticizing Jake Arrieta by saying his speed to the plate allowed for the Nationals to steal so many bases, Montero was DFA’d on June 28 and traded to the Blue Jays on July 3. MORE: American League wild-card race shaping up to be historically bonkers Some might remember Montero’s time as a Cub for his grand slam in the bottom of the eighth inning in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Dodgers....

It wasn’t just one play against Broncos — Glennon’s horrendous decision to throw a horrible pass on his second attempt of the game that resulted in 50-yard pick six for All-Pro cornerback Chris Harris Jr. — that was the Misery of the Midway, it was the entire stinking performance: 2 for 8, 0 yards, an INT and a 0.0 passer rating. It made what equally lanky and overpaid Brock Osweiler did in his debut in Cleveland (6 of 14, 42 yards) seem worthy of Canton....

The 29-year-old traveled to his homeland last month to feature for Argentina against Uruguay, but returned ahead of the clash versus Venezuela because of pains in his left adductor. And then, in Barca’s 1-1 draw at home to Atletico on September 21, he was withdrawn with an injury in the adductor on the opposite side - in his right thigh. Barcelona beats Real Madrid in financial Clasico “Messi is a very explosive player whose game features quick bursts of pace,” sports podiatrist Mirja Marco told Goal International....

At FBN and the Fox News Channel, Bartiromo hosts three shows and is on the air for 17 hours a week, more than any female anchor across all television and making her one of the nation’s best-connected reporters on Wall Street. That’s not a bad place to be considering the recent, wild gyrations in the market. Thus, Newsweek figured it was a good time to pick her brain for a prediction or two, and to reminisce about her historic contribution to financial reporting....

The pop star’s new memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, comes out tomorrow, and as a teaser for its release, Carey took to Twitter to share an excerpt containing the tantalizing/bizarre revelation that she worked on an alternative-rock album around the same time as her 1995 smash Daydream. In the tweet, she shares this “fun fact” about the recordings, adding it was done “just for laughs, but it got me through some dark days....

That’s pretty much what just happened in America. But that’s also where the analogy ends. For in the case of American politics, the truck didn’t just happen to be there like some random fluke. Rather it—or he, however we wish to describe the threat—was a manifestation of societal dysfunction that’s almost inevitable when so many people are left in chronically desperate economic and social situations. Donald Trump did not create those situations; those situations created Donald Trump....

President-elect Joe Biden became the first Democrat to win Maricopa County since Harry Truman in 1948, a result that helped him flip the Grand Canyon State and take its 11 electoral college votes. However, three Republican congressmen had called for the recount of all 2 million ballots in the county, claiming the County Board of Supervisors and Recorder’s Office had broken state law by not conducting a precinct-level hand count of the ballots to check accuracy....

The four-star general is upset with leaders of 4th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO) in West Palm Beach, Florida, from an optics standpoint after the unit booked its annual gala at Mar-a-Lago to celebrate the 244th anniversary of the Marines’ founding, said two Defense Department sources who spoke to Newsweek on Friday under condition of anonymity due to Pentagon media restrictions. A story published in The Miami Herald late Thursday night reported that the unit had posted the location of the ball on Evensi, an events website....

Chalmers sneaked up behind him, spun him around and effectively destroyed the interview. This certainly isn't the first time something crazy has interrupted a Heat player's postgame interview. Earlier this year it was Wade doing cartwheels in the background of a LeBron James interview. Then Chris Andersen terrified Miami beat writer Ethan Skolnick. At least they're having fun.

Conner was an All-American and the ACC’s offensive player of the year in 2014. He’s been active in the community, too, volunteering at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh, Mel Blount Youth Home, World Vision and the National Kidney Foundation.
