What do two arrests, a cracked skull and fractured vertebrae have in common?
The answer: Toledo 13, Michigan 10.
Maybe it's a bit presumptuous to link two disheartening events to one football game, but ...
First came word that two Toledo players were arrested after they got drunk and belligerent late at night following the game. Then came this report that a Michigan football player assaulted a Michigan hockey player on campus early the next morning. That Michigan hockey player happened to be defenseman Steve Kampfer, the Ducks' fourth-round pick in the 2007 draft. According to one report, Kampfer has a cracked skull and broken vertebrae. That's just great.
It's just a game except, apparently, when it's Michigan football.

J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
