Two weeks ago, every time we turned on TSN they were covering the Canadian Women's Curling Tournament, and last week they followed it up by covering the men's Briar every night. I'm sorry, but two weeks of solid curling on the tube every night is just a little too much to take. Sport-talk thinks a ra- -,dio DJ summed up curling best when he called it 'Es- , kimo Bowling' TRIVIA ANSWER -- Two days prior to the start of the NCAA tournament, Michigan coach Bill Freider signed a four year contract to coach at Arizona State. Freider offered to stay on and coach the Wolverines for the tournament, but Michigan athletic director Bo Schembechler declined the offer, and named assistant coach Steve Fisher to take over. 1989-90 Final Standings G w L T F Ag Pts.
