Recruit

There's a RB recruit named Sam McGuffie who just committed to Michigan for '08. The people who watch this sort of thing 24/7 apparently stayed up late last night to see his announcement. There's a lot excitement on the message board. People saying they'll sleep better now and 'time to break out the Cubans' and such.

Let me know...

if anyone else wants access to this site or if you think I should just make it public.

Potter in Williamston

There was a realtively big Harry Potter themed festival in Williamston the day before the launch of the last book. They even held a quiddich tournament. My mom and sister (and Brady) all dressed up and participated. I don't have a good picture of the 3 headed puppy yet, but my folks said they had a line of people taking picutes with him all afternoon. My dad guessed that around 200 people took a picture with him.

The Dean of Engineering at Duke has become the Provost at Johns Hopkins. My advisor is serving as dean while Duke conducts a search for a replacement. He is naturally a candidate for that position. Additionally, Carol's company recently got bought out.

No Shut Out Streak

I haven't found a good source, but I recently saw a post on a message board listing the longest games-without-being-shut-out streaks for NCAA football teams. #1 BYU ended the streak at 361. #2 Michigan with 284 and counting. Last shut out was Iowa in 1984.
