UM sideline reporters ready to hang onto their hats

Lisa Byington was rummaging through her closet Thursday, trying to find just the right coat.

Byington, the seasoned Big Ten Network football sideline reporter who has worked her share of games in snow, rain and frigid temperatures, has yet to work one that could be intensely affected by Hurricane-force rain and wind.

Doug Karsch, pregame host and sideline reporter for the Michigan Football Network, has worked Michigan games in the rain and cold, and he has emerged completely drenched.

But this should be a unique experience for Karsch and Byington. Both will report from the sidelines during the Michigan-Maryland game at Byrd Stadium on Saturday in Maryland.
