The Michigan Wolverines beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 35-31 last night, after 3 touchdowns in the last 1:12. At 1:12, Wolverine phenom Denard Robinson threw a touchdown pass to Vincent Smith to make it 28-24 Michigan. The Fighting Irish stoically marched down the field and responded to make it 31-28 with 30 seconds left. With 2 seconds left on the Notre Dame 16, Michigan showed remarkable courage by going for the TD rather than kicking a field goal to tie it. Robinson connected with Roy Roundtree to win it for Michigan. This game would have been incredible under any circumstances, but it turns out that it was the first ever night game played in the Big House, with a record attendance of 114,000.
I moved into a new house last weekend with four other med students and 1 undergrad. The place was an absolute mess: there was a hole in the ceiling that leaked water during a storm; the dishwasher is broken; there were leaks in the basement; the kitchen was full of dirty dishes and soggy rags; the refrigerators were stocked with months-old rotting food and were growing mold; the living and dining room were trashed and the carped badly stained; the backyard was buried in old furniture, mattresses, and decades-old desks and chairs; and the front yard was overgrown with bushes and weeds. Last week all of us have put huge amounts of money and effort into the place to get it in working condition. Here are some pictures after we removed all the trash, scrubbed, painted, mowed, and brought new furniture.
