That was too close for comfort, but it was nice to see them beat the Spartans, finally. I expected it to be a beatdown, given how well the defense has been playing. And it’s the first win in a long time, I think, that they didn’t score a touchdown.
[Update in the evening]
It’s been over a decade since Michigan won without a touchdown. Probably longer. It’s unusual for them to not score a touchdown, let alone win without doing so. It’s a testimony to the defense.

An interesting review. I hadn’t realized that Arlo was a libertarian Republican, and it’s sad to hear that he lost his wife.
I was very into folk music when I was younger, but was always put off by the politics of most of my fellow enthusiasts.
Felix’s giant leap was a life-long dream.
…and the Deadly Tedium.
I have to confess that I’ve never read a word that she’s written.
Good for the comedians, bad for the campaign.
I’ll be very interested to see what SNL does with it, if anything. It’s hard to see how they could resist.

Would Big Bird be a small-government Romney voter? This puts the episode in a whole new light.
Some thoughts from Lileks.
I was struck by the prices of those old AM radios. I hadn’t realized how expensive they were back then. In today’s dollars, you’d be paying two or three hundred for an AM radio, though it would probably have much better sound quality than a modern one. The tubes have their own audio quality that remains hard (and expensive) to replicate with solid state. Of course, they were also built to last, and unlike a modern device, repairable.
