In today's newsletter, Michigan to burn more natural gas for power, one great thing our coming warm-up does and another win for the Detroit Lions. |
Just kidding, "bet" is my favorite slang word from this generation. So when Michigan players started posting the word on social media before Saturday's game, the unified message was clear. As you probably know, the Big Ten Conference suspended Jim Harbaugh for the conclusion of the regular season. Michigan then filed for a temporary restraining order to block the suspension. Harbaugh told his team to "play angry" and that's exactly what they did. Acting head coach Sherrone Moore fought through tears and steered Michigan to a 24-15 victory over Penn State. |

Michigan to burn more natural gas for power, but prices lower than last winter |
A smaller bill: State utility regulators said they expect Michigan to burn more natural gas for electricity in the coming year than last year, but prices are way down from last winter. State officials said the projected weighted average commodity price for residential customers of regulated utilities this season is $3.50 per million cubic feet (Mcf) – a drop from last year’s actual average of $5.80 per Mcf. Results: That means home heating bills will be lower this coming winter than last year for the more than three-quarters of Michigan homes that are heated with natural gas. More in public interest: After years of Indigenous voices elevating the importance of a native keystone aquatic plant called manoomin, it’s finally earning its place in Michigan history. |

One great thing our coming warm-up does |
An abnormal pattern: For much of this week we have a warmer-than-normal weather pattern for Michigan. This warm-up will come with an added bonus: more sunshine than average in cloudy November. Sharing a secret: We turned the clocks back last weekend. You might not like it, but it could be the favorite day of the year for many meteorologists because data comes in one hour earlier after the time change. Be prepared: Are your tires ready for winter? Do the penny test to find out. |

After resident found dead outside front door, Michigan senior facility could face closure |
A state investigator has recommended the closure of an adult foster facility in Jenison after an 83-year-old resident died Oct. 14 just outside the facility, seven hours after walking out the front door, according to a newly-released report. Divided: Michigan nurses and hospital leadership are at odds over proposed solutions to the ongoing staffing crisis that has forced overworked nurses away from the bedside in droves. In politics: A new report from Michigan’s auditor general found the state spent $18.1 billion in COVID-19 related funding from the beginning of the pandemic through June 2023. |

Jared Goff leads Lions past L.A. in wild shootout |
A nail-biter:There were a combined 79 points and seven fourth-down conversions, making for an electrifying win in Detroit’s first game back from the bye week. The Lions went into Los Angeles and outlasted the Chargers in a 41-38 shootout for their seventh win of the season. Both teams scored in every quarter, so it was rocking inside of SoFi from start to finish. It was one of those games where it felt like whoever had the ball last would be the victors, and that’s exactly what happened. Here's what was said nationally after the Lions won. Reminiscing: During his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Friday, Matthew Stafford delved into his Lions years and shared how he regrets his inability to deliver a Lions Super Bowl win. |
