When attempting to attend a Halloween party at the Zeta Psi fraternity house earlier this year, LSA sophomore Isis Burgdorf and another LSA sophomore, who has requested to remain anonymous,
were reportedly stopped at the door. According to Burgdorf, the Zeta Psi brothers manning the entrance had to check with another brother inside to see if the two would be allowed to enter. Though both students were eventually allowed in, Burgdorf’s friend said they were held at the door because Burgdorf was blacklisted for intervening in

Community reflects on impact of DMUM Families share stories after lives have been impacted by group’s fundraising JULIA YOUNG For the Daily
Dance Marathon at the University of Michigan, a student-run organization that supports children with disabilities by raising funds and awareness for pediatric rehabilitation and therapy programs at C.S. Mott and Beaumont Children’s hospitals, hosted its first ever Family Circles night Saturday evening, which brought over 50 students, three DMUM families and several therapists together to share stories about dealing with disability as a part of everyday life and to build relationships between dancers, families and therapists. Alicia DeMartini, an LSA senior and family relations chair for DMUM, explained the event used to be worked into the 24-hour VictorThon hosted in March each year, but families and students alike expressed an interest in expanding Family Circles by giving it its own night. “It was one of my favorite events at VictorThon.

a potential sexual assault at the fraternity just days before. On Oct. 27, four days before the situation at the door of Zeta Psi, Burgdorf and her friend attended a party at Phi Sigma Kappa. According to Burgdorf, her friend had too much to drink before going out and arrived at Phi Sig already intoxicated.
University alum Jonathan Pal, a Phi Sigma Kappa brother, was also with Burgdorf and the LSA sophomore that night. Pal said the friend was not served any drinks by Phi Sig upon arrival. Later that night, Pal and Burgdorf decided to send the intoxicated friend home in an Uber. See FRATERNITY, Page 3A

Ross graduate students gather to share military experiences at VETx
Event hosted by Armed Forces Association to reflect on their service, build community AMARA SHAIKH Daily Staff Reporter
Taking on a theme similar to that of TED talks was this weekend’s third annual VETx event, a program where several Ross veterans spoke about their experiences after having served in either the U.S. or other nations’ armed forces. Over a hundred veterans and family members gathered in the Ross Colloquium for the event, which was hosted by the Armed Forces Association at Ross. As a part of the 2017 Veteran’s Week on campus, VETx aimed to offer veterans a platform to share their experiences with their peers and give the University community an opportunity to learn from their stories. This year’s celebration also had the unique distinction of honoring the largest class of veterans at Ross in the University’s history. Molly Hope, a graduate student and the president of the AFA at Ross, said the organization aims to support veterans to succeed in business and socially. Hope considers VETx an extension of the social aspect of AFA, which began three years ago to increase awareness of student veterans’ experiences within the larger Ross community. “It started from MBAs who wanted to share their unique stories with their classmates
and they thought this would be the perfect setting,” Hope said. “It kind of evolved around wondering how we as veterans share our stories because we have a lot of lessons that we want to tell people about and that we think would help people in their careers.” Hope also commented on how students at the University of Michigan may not normally hear stories like the ones presented at VETx, and noted
the importance of having a program that give veterans a chance to share their stories. “Most students, at least in our program, may not find these stories that are so intense and so full of emotion, and experiences that they can’t even fathom in some regardthey might not feel like these stories are accessible in any other forum,” Hope said. “Having a safe space where it’s understood that you’re going
to engage with these stories, and it provides a space for the speakers to share their stories.” The event began with an introduction from Business School Dean Scott DeRue and then launched into talks given by three Business graduate students: Andrew Davis, Pratyush Singh and Philip Matousek. Each speech included a personal anecdote from each of the veteran’s times See VETERANS, Page 3A

performed a Latin routine, Revolution, who did a Chinese Yoyo performance, Alpha Phi Alpha, who performed a step routine, Leim, who did an Irish Dance and more. LSA senior Julianna Davidek said her International Studies background drew her to this event and discussed her interest with the diverse range of groups and performances. “Food is one part of culture, but performance is another part, bringing them together as a bigger picture on culture as a subject.” Davidek said. CSG chose to host the event to cultivate unity, diversity and inclusion by showcasing the nations and cultures represented by the students at the University of Michigan. See CSG, Page 2A

And responsible, welltrained, licensed concealedpistol holders can be one of those deterrents.” The bill has gained the support of the National Rif le Association and the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners. Steve Dulan, the spokesman for the Coalition, said gun-free zones should be called “mass murderer empowerment zones.” The bill has received opposition from many groups, including the Michigan Education Association, the Michigan Open Carry organization and Moms Demand Action.

If passed the bill will penalize schools that don’t comply by forfeiting “funds due under this article in an amount equal to the amount that is necessary for the district or school to become compliant with this section.” The criteria of what is derogatory will be determined by a list put together by the State Board after consulting with and gaining the approval of the Department of Civil Rights. Schools that don’t already comply must obtain a waiver to continue the use of the mascot or slogan deemed derogatory.

DANCE From Page 1A love hearing the side of families, because sometimes it gets overlooked,” DeMartini said. “I hope that people see more of the family connection, the family aspect of what Dance Marathon is, rather than just having a fundraising total.” Susan Smiddy, a music therapist at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, kicked off the evening talking about the impact DMUM’s efforts have had on the music therapy program there, which is supported in part by the organization’s fundraising. She said the hospital engages patients with singing, songwriting and instruments, providing a sense of community and creating a space where kids can be kids. “I just feel so honored to be here and to have you guys here to listen to their stories and everything they’re going through and how music is helping them,” she said. According to Smiddy, the music therapy program’s success lies in its ability to give pediatric patients a sense of agency in their lives and a place for them to express their emotions through music. Some of the program’s patients, she said, even went on raise money for the hospital to buy more instruments for future patients because the therapy was so effective for them. Becky McVey, a certified therapeutic rehabilitation specialist, followed with similar sentiments, noting DMUM’s contributions to adapted sports and recreation programs at Michigan Medicine. Because of Dance Marathon, she said, there are now about 10 adaptive or inclusive activities run by Michigan Medicine, including martial arts, tree climbing, summer camps, kayaking and yoga. She led the audience in a brief yoga routine she does with her patients to demonstrate some of the work her program does. Monica Phillipp, a DMUM alum who currently works at North Star Reach camp, talked about Dance Marathon’s role in helping her organization provide kids unique experiences through adaptive facilities such as a wheelchair accessible pool and tree house, which might otherwise be unavailable to children with disabilities. DMUM’s fundraising helps fund these facilities and student dancers often make up some of the camp’s volunteer staff. For next year, she said, North Star Reach hopes to build an outpost where campers can sleep outdoors for a night. “A lot of these kids have spent a lot of time in the hospital, so they aren’t really thinking about sleeping under the stars without their parents,” she said. “But the

Organizations served the food of their culture so that students could be expose their nation and its culture; for example, the German Club served sauerkraut, spaetzle and red cabbage, the Indian American Student Association served samosas and tikka
camp gives them that opportunity for independence and creates a place where everyone around them understands what they’re going through.” Finally, three families shared their personal stories, giving student dancers a glimpse into their lives and how DMUM has affected them. Larry Prout Jr. was born with his organs outside of his body and has had 100 surgeries to date since he was born in 2001. “Larry didn’t walk until he was 9 years old, and now he’s out dancing with you guys,” said his father, Larry Prout Sr. Wendy Muzzareli talked about how her daughter, Paige Muzzareli, would not have made the medical progress she has without the therapy supported by DMUM’s fundraising. When Paige was born, doctors told Muzzareli her daughter would never talk, walk or eat on her own. Despite this, Muzzareli emphasized her daughter has been able to lead a rich and fulfilling life due to the care she has received. “She’s here, she’s smiling, she knows how to make you feel better when you walk into a room,” said Muzzareli. “Therapy has basically made her able to sit here today, to walk in here today. Without that, we were told she would never.” DMUM events like VictorThon also allow families to create strong connections within their local communities by participating in these activities. “Dance Marathon has brought us closer to other families, too,” said Muzzareli. Deb Diehr, mother of Tommy Diehr, who passed away earlier this year, echoed this appreciation for the organization. “Many, many times last year we relied on the dance team — their encouragement, the smiles they brought to the hospital room,” she said. “The gift that (Dance Marathon) gives to us as families is precious.” LSA sophomore Amanda Wasserman, who is in her second year as a part of Dance Marathon, said Saturday’s Family Circles night helped her understand the importance of the work she does for DMUM throughout the year. “It was an eye-opening experience. We could see where our fundraising is directly going towards, which is really rewarding,” she said. “The programs that Mott, Beaumont and the North Star Reach camp are able to provide to these kids are really incredible.” Lillie Heyman, who is also an LSA sophomore, agreed. “It’s really beneficial because you see how happy we make them. They come to so many events because they want to see us and we want to see them,” she said. “Doing more things like this will help get more people involved and make (Dance Marathon) an even bigger organization.”

From home, the LSA sophomore was picked up by a brother in Zeta Psi, who she knew from class. The brother picked her up to go to Zeta Psi, and she told Burgdorf she was going to that fraternity. According to the anonymous LSA sophomore, she was still too intoxicated to consent to sexual activity, and was taken to the brother’s room where he repeatedly tried to take off her dress. She also said the brother she was with was sober. “He kept touching me and kept putting his hands up my dress and trying to take it off and I just kept pulling my dress down,” the LSA sophomore said. “There was a lot of unwanted touching.” After her friend had not texted Burgdorf for a while, Burgdorf and Pal took a Lyft to Zeta Psi’s fraternity house. The two were reportedly let into the fraternity house and asked to be brought to the brother’s room where her friend was. There, Pal said, they found the intoxicated friend fully clothed and the brother with his pants off on top of her. “We went downstairs where (the brother’s room) was and we got down there and we open the door and (the intoxicated friend) is there and she has her clothes on but this other guy, he does not,” Pal said. “He has his underwear on but he does not have the rest of his clothes on.” Burgdorf and Pal reportedly took their friend from the brother’s room and called a Lyft for the three of them back to their apartment. Lyft email receipts obtained by The Daily confirmed Pal ordered a Lyft from Phi Sig to Zeta Psi, and then from Zeta Psi back to the friend’s apartment that night. Lauck Walton, executive director of the Zeta Psi International Headquarters,
VETERANS From Page 1A in service that both brought forth questions of ethics and values and that could relate to possible situations in the business world. Afterwards, the audience had an opportunity to ask questions to the panel of student veterans. During his panel introduction, DeRue spoke about the University’s dedication to helping student veterans adjust and succeed on campus. “One of the things that we are incredibly proud of is our commitment to veterans in our community,” DeRue said. “When we set our goals for the year in terms of admissions and building a stellar class, one point of emphasis was our veteran community. The fact that we were able to bump up that percent — roughly 40 percent — to achieve that seven percent mark is something we are extremely proud of in our MBA class.” DeRue also discussed the contribution the veteran community makes to the University. “Having the perspective of our veterans who have served in all sorts of different roles contribute to the conversation in class around what leadership means, how to lead in ambiguous and high risk environments, and so forth, bring that to life much better than I could,” DeRue said. Later, Davis outlined the dilemma middle-ranking

LSA sophomore Jeanie Tan discussed how important this event was for the Malaysian Student Association to both share their culture and promote their Malaysian Cultural Night next semester. “(Food) also shows the unity in Malaysian culture amongst the Malays, Indians and Chinese,” Tan said. “We hope that everyone here who gets to try our food, gets to meet with us and comes to our events.”

wrote in an email the organization is investigating the claims of sexual misconduct, but as of right now, no official allegations have been filed, and initial reviews of the situation claim no brothers are at fault. “We are reviewing all aspects of the situation, but to be clear there are no allegations of sexual misconduct,” Walton wrote. “All of the information gathered to date indicates that everyone in the chapter acted appropriately throughout the situation. The chapter is working closely with the University and hopes for a speedy favorable resolution.” After being stopped at the door Halloween night, the LSA sophomore said she approached the fraternity brother in class and he confirmed the blacklist. “I was talking to him and he’s like ‘So we’re all good?’ and … (I said) ‘Sure, we’re good,’” the LSA sophomore said. “I said something about how (the brothers at the door) weren’t going to let us into his party and he’s like ‘yeah because Isis (Burgdorf) is blacklisted … You were allowed in but (Burgdorf) wasn’t so they had to talk to (the brother) to see if me being on the list to be able to come in was enough to let Isis in as well’ … Isis was blacklisted because she got me out of (the brother’s) room.” Following this conversation, Burgdorf posted in the University of Michigan Class of 2020 Facebook page about the blacklist and Zeta Psi. “What’s up pals don’t go to zeta psi I’m ‘blacklisted’ for saving a drunk friend from one of the predatory frat brothers (sic),” Burgdorf wrote. “Non men especially please don’t go there.” Burgdorf said the fraternity is too focused on improving the image of the organization on campus, and blamed her for the situation instead of addressing the claims. “It’s frustrating for me
mainly just because of why I was blacklisted because whenever we came on Halloween, (the brother at the door) was like ‘You were the one that freaked out on (the brother), right?’ so he was putting all the blame on me and not analyzing what the situation was,” Burgdorf said. “There’s not really another way to twist it. They don’t want me in there because I stopped their friend from raping my friend. That’s what happened.” Zeta Psi’s Risk Management Policy outlines the procedures all Zeta Psi chapters must follow in regards to alcohol and drug abuse, hazing, sexual misconduct and general health. While a blacklist is not mentioned in the policy, the fraternity is required to follow state and institution laws when possessing and consuming alcoholic beverages in the house. The policy states being intoxicated “to the point of incapacitation” eliminates a person’s ability to consent to sexual activity. Walton wrote Zeta Psi International Headquarters is glad the University chapter utilizes a blacklist in general to keep track of who is and who isn’t allowed into the fraternity house. “Zeta Psi’s International Headquarters applauds the chapter for having an established process for deciding who may, and may not, have access to our chapter property in accordance with our Risk Management policy,” Walton wrote. University spokeswoman Kim Broekhuizen wrote in an email correspondence the University cannot comment on this specific situation but said the University encourages students to report instances of sexual misconduct to the respective authority figures. “Bystander intervention is a key component of our sexual assault prevention education that is provided to all U-M students,” Broekhuizen wrote. “We always encourage individuals to share information about potential and
experienced prohibited conduct with the university as well as law enforcement.” The LSA sophomore said while a blacklist system is important to keep actual violators of the Risk Management Policy off fraternity property, she does not believe Burgdorf should have been on the blacklist for what she did. “I honestly think it’s awful,” the LSA sophomore said. “(Isis) is trying to help me. She did nothing. It’s not like she was too drunk or was touching. A blacklist for people that are perverts should definitely exist, but a blacklist for Isis? No, she was just trying to help me and I was just really taken aback when (the brother) said that.” On Thursday, the Interfraternity Council suspended all fraternity social events and all current pledge terms in the wake of severe allegations including hazing that almost killed three fraternity pledges, sexual misconduct, drug violations and other events. While Burgdorf’s blacklist claim and the preceding alleged sexual misconduct event are not included in the IFC’s list of allegations, as confirmed by Walton, Walton wrote Zeta Psi is dedicated to cooperating with the University in hopes of providing a welcoming space for brothers and friends of the fraternity alike. “Zeta Psi is committed to working with the Michigan IFC and University Administration to ensure a healthy and safe environment at all times for our members and guests,” Walton wrote. The Risk Management Policy also includes a “Duty to Report” clause that states all Zeta Psi brothers must report any violations of the policies to the chapter president without obstruction from any member of the fraternity.
individuals face during a time of crisis in regards to whether or not they should take initiative. Davis told a story about the different ways that he and his friend Mike responded to an explosion on August 28, 2013 during their time in Afghanistan. Davis explained that while he remained with a higher ranking officer and waited for orders, Mike took off towards the chaos, and lost his life while saving one of his comrades. He tied this experiences back to the policies at various companies, and explained that there are times when it is necessary to wait for instructions, but also times when one must take action. “Are we ready to recognize the moment of truth, when action could change everything for the course of the better, but it may cost us dearly, and when nobody is going to blame you for inaction because you weren’t in charge?” Davis posited. “As I go forward in my professional career I’m always going to have Mike’s example in the back of my mind, helping me figure out the right thing to do.” Matousek presented on ethical leadership and the importance of remaining moral even in situations where acting immorally seems easier. During his time in Baghdad, Matousek and his team faced attacks from a seemingly faceless enemy. This enemy was pervasive and not only sought to harm the U.S army, but also innocent Iraqi civilians and law enforcement. One night, Matousek said he and his men caught a man they believed
to be a potential insurgent, and while some wanted to administer justice themselves, Matousek made sure the man was brought to the Iraqi law enforcement. He explained one immoral decision causes others to lose respect and that one way people can avoid unethical decisions is by talking through various dilemmas as a group. “As you develop your own teams and you work to become a better leader, present your team and yourself with ethical dilemmas. Talk through what the right thing is to do, talk through what was actually done ... I promise you if you prepare yourselves and you prepare your team, when you’re faced with a dilemma you will do what is right.” David Bald, Business graduate student and the head coordinator for VETx, brought up the value in having a setting for veterans and students to come together and listen to the experiences of their peers. “I think this event is really special because it gives our veterans in the MBA program the opportunity to share stories that their classmates would not normally come across,” Bald said. “This event provides an open space where they can interact with those stories on a human to human level.” Business graduate student Sarah Schmidt, a classmate of many of the speakers at the VETx event, explained she attended both to learn from the speeches and to show her support for her fellow classmates. “I have a lot of classmates who are veterans, and I went to
this event last year, and I really enjoyed hearing their stories,” Schmidt said. “I think often it’s pretty unknown what people learn in the military and what value they can bring as peers and as future colleges. This chance to listen to their stories, give that attention and bring a greater understanding is really important.” Both Hope and Bald emphasized how they wanted to continue creating spaces for veterans to communicate with their peers in a less formal setting. Moving forward, the AFA at Ross will be hosting smaller group conversations in more casual areas to allow for exactly that. “A lot of the stories we have don’t fit neatly into a presentation, and it seemed necessary that we continue this conversation, instead of just once a year. There are so many stories and experiences that our veterans want to talk about, and maybe they’re still trying to make sense of these stories themselves,” Bald said. “We’re hoping we can engage further with others in Ross and in the larger Michigan community.” Bald also explained that the overall goal through all these events is to ensure that student veterans feel comfortable on campus, and are able to truly feel a part of the Michigan community. “We want to break down the barrier of student veteran and that sense of other that may be present, so that people see these stories as accessible and by proxy the veterans themselves as more accessible.”

Keep final exams policy as is
I
t’s that time of year again: Football season is coming to a close, the temperature is falling faster than the leaves and the sun is setting before most of us eat dinner. Final exam season is on the horizon. On Oct. 28, 2017, LSA Student Government passed a resolution that aims to decrease the stress imposed on students during the last few weeks of the semester. One key provision of the resolution implores the College of Literature, Science and the Arts to hold professors accountable for administering exams during the time slot assigned by the Registrar’s Office. The Michigan Daily calls on the school of LSA to maintain its current policy, which gives professors the ability to have all final assignments and exams due before the scheduled exam times even begin. The resolution acknowledges the discrepancy between what the University prescribes for final exam scheduling and reality. The LSA Faculty Code exam protocol states “an instructor may not depart from the official schedule unless prior approval of the University Committee on Examinations is obtained.” However, many University students can attest to the fact that professors do, in fact, depart from their scheduled exam slot. They either hold exams during the last week of class, opting for a final paper or project, or hold a third, noncumulative exam in place of a cumulative final during their given two-hour finals slot. The perceived problem, according to the resolution, is that exams before the scheduled exam week interfere with reg ular semester work. However, in large part, professors tend to ease up on coursework in the weeks or week before finals. As a result, having exams at the end of the semester instead of during the given exam time doesn’t interfere as much as one might imagine. Every year, students anxiously hold their breath and check the dates of their last exams. Inevitably, there is always an exam which lingers at the end of the exam period. This year, the last day of exams is Dec. 21. This presents a challenge for students who hope to go home earlier for winter break. Graduate students are not
exempt from this dilemma; GSIs must finish grading their exams before going home for the holidays. For those GSIs whose exams are held on Dec. 21, the possibility exists that they would be unable to leave until Dec. 24, if at all. There is also the added burden of finding f lights during the holiday season; dorms close at 7:00 p.m. on the last day of exams and the cost of a f light home for such a short period of time is not necessarily a financial reality. Additionally, for some students — out-of-state and international students, for example — it may almost not be worth it to go home for such a short period of time. For these reasons, among others, many students and instructors welcome the option to have exams earlier (before the scheduled final exam slot). Moreover, we challenge the efficacy of this resolution because it lacks a concrete mechanism for enforcement. There are countless loopholes that can prevent this resolution from effecting real change: Students can take classes outside of their academic program in LSA or professors can simply label their last exam “Exam three,” and continue to place it on the last day of class. Students’ preferences for exam scheduling (spread out, all at once, early, late, etc.) are diverse, and finding a onesize-fits-all policy would be

Maybe later
an improbable task. LSA offers thousands of courses each semester and it is unlikely that there is a policy that can be evenly enforced. Furthermore, a good number of professors are bound to ignore the exam guidelines (as they already do). Though the LSA exam protocol does give specific dates for classes’ final exams, it still allows professors to schedule their final exams earlier. Even though the resolution attempts to fix this, we argue that there will still be loopholes and it is not the best way to approach final exams. The Michigan Daily Editorial Board calls on the school of LSA to retain its current policy that gives professors the flexibility to schedule their final assignments before their designated final exam slot. The resolution passed by LSA Student Government overestimates the negative impacts of exams during regular class time, does not take into account the effects of late exams on students and instructors and ultimately lacks a means for implementing change on a broad scale. For many of us, thoughts of returning home have begun to swirl in our minds. And as we inch closer to Dec. 21, we urge LSA to consider scheduling exams earlier in the month. That way, students and staff can enjoy a relaxing winter break and can return in January feeling refreshed and ready for the semester ahead.

What’s normal anyway?
hat’s gay!” was probably the most common phrase heard in the halls of my elementary or middle school. After hearing it so often, I remember a point where I, too, would utter it whenever extra homework was assigned, the teacher cancelled our recess or one of the boys was acting “sensitive” or “emotional.” It was what all the cool kids did, and I — the nerdy girl with wire-framed glasses who wore pig tails until 6th grade — desperately needed to be cool. The funniest part about it was, for the longest time I didn’t know what “gay” meant. In the context that my peers and I used it in, I understood that it meant something bad or negative. I knew it was something that you didn’t want to be, or that you weren’t supposed to be. It made you different, and not different like having your ears pierced or hair dyed. Different like having a disease or a sickness that could not be cured. However, I had absolutely no clue what “gay” meant outside of what my knucklehead elementary school friends told me it was. In high school, my perception of things changed. It had become taboo and insensitive to say things like “that’s gay.” The stigma around homosexuality decreased as LGBT issues became more popular and visible in mainstream media. Popular TV shows like Glee, American Horror Story, Orange is the New Black and The Fosters began depicting same-sex relationships or “out” homosexual characters more explicitly. Around my sophomore year, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis released their heav y-hitting single “Same Love,” which advocated for the legalization of same-sex marriage. Buzzwords like “gender inclusive,” “trans,” “queer,” “pangender,” “genderf luid” and “intersex” all came into the mainstream at once. I became overwhelmed by these new definitions, terms and identities, something
that just a few years prior had been totally under the radar in heterosexual communities. I had no clue what these things meant, and honestly had no intention of learning what they meant because it did not impact my heterosexual lifestyle. I reverted back to the ignorance of my elementary school ways, throwing any part of the non-hetero identity under the umbrella of “gay.” Meaning that anything that was different, or outside of heteronormativity in my eyes was just … gay. “It’s just too much!” I would often say in defense of the lack of my awareness.
I was forced into seminars and guest speaker lectures that... pried my narrow mind open to the perspectives and experiences of others.
In college, I knew that I would have to make a change. I was forced into seminars and g uest speaker lectures that explained these terms at leng th, and pried my narrow mind open to the perspectives and experiences of others outside of the heterosexual community. It was then that I accepted the fact that just because I wasn’t part of the LGBTQ community didn’t mean I had to ignore it, remain ignorant or stay stubborn. Things are constantly changing, and it was time for me to keep up. My mother is the most important person in my life, and she raised me on the notion that everybody has their own bag. Even if their
bag doesn’t match what’s in yours, you still respect it; if you don’t understand the slang metaphor here, essentially it means that everyone is different. No one person is going to be exactly alike, yet despite this we should respect one another and honor each other’s differences. I was embarrassed that I had strayed from this. I am now embarrassed for others who have seemingly not been instilled with my mother’s wisdom. As of a week ago, a few more members of the LGBTQ community were elected as government officials across the nation. But here on campus, students are still attacked for disclosing such identities to their peers. Last week a business junior revealed he was harassed by his roommates after he announced his sexuality on social media for “National Coming Out Day.” This story has now been picked up by other local media outlets and has become somewhat of a hot topic on campus, in the wake of statistics reporting that 1 in 6 students feel discriminated against on campus. It is important to remember that discrimination on campus is not only racial. Still, even I have occasionally succumbed to this sort of thinking as well. Discrimination, as I have learned all too well after being on this campus for several years, can come in all sorts of shades. Now, you may think — who am I to comment on any of this, especially following the confession of my prior problematic outlooks regarding these topics? However, I think it is the story of my personal growth, learning experience and enlightenment that serves as a perfect connection to my arg ument. We each have the ability to educate ourselves and in turn promote more progressive, respectful and productive ways of thinking about ourselves and others. So why not do it?

Pursue what interests you in college
T
en minutes. Twenty minutes. Thirty minutes. I don’t think I’ve ever stared at a blank Word document for so long. Is this why so many writers go crazy? I could be doing something productive right now — like sleeping. No matter what I do, I just can’t seem to think of anything to write about. Every little thing is distracting. Swiveling in this chair sure is fun. Oh, look, a bird. How fast can I say “toy boat?” Before I know it, an hour has passed. Welcome to the life of an English major. I agonize about writing on a weekly basis. Over time, it doesn’t become hard to relate with Jack Nicholson from “The Shining,” beating away the same sentence on a typewriter. But that doesn’t change the fact that I love my major. Writing is a passion of mine, and I enjoy every second of self-induced insanity. So when people ask me my major, why am I reluctant to tell them that it’s English? I think it has something to do with also being premed. Before I continue, let me clarify that “pre-med” is not a major. It simply means that I’m taking a set of classes — organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics, etc. — necessary to succeed on the MCAT and in medical school. That’s why when I tell my fellow pre-med students that I’m majoring in English, I’m usually met with blank stares and confusion. I feel a bit like Billy Elliot admitting his love for ballet in an unwelcoming environment. Once they process my seriousness, they usually say something blunt like, “Why?” Whether it’s asked in disgust or awe depends on
the person. But no matter the tone, I always give the same response: “Because I like it.” It’s as simple as that. I think that a lot of students in college — especially premeds — major in subjects by default without exploring other interests. For example, I would guess that a lot of people majoring in biomolecular science aren’t doing it because they have a yearning passion for biomolecules. The more likely reason is that the required classes for the major line up conveniently with the prerequisites for medical school. But who am I to judge? I was once a neuroscience major before I realized that learning unnecessarily detailed information about synapses wasn’t how I wanted to spend my college career. Following the 15 advising appointments and two existential crises that resulted from this realization, I learned that a major wouldn’t define my future. Especially for those planning to attend graduate school, majors aren’t as important as they seem. While some may provide slightly better preparation — for example, a political science major may be more suited for the LSAT than a physics major — it’s ultimately GPA, test scores, extracurricular activities and others that matter. In other words, a physics major can get into Harvard Law School as long as they perform well in each of the previously mentioned areas and demonstrate that they’re a qualified applicant. Even if a student doesn’t have plans to attend graduate school, their major doesn’t necessarily have to align with
their intended career path. According to one study, only about 27 percent of college graduates are working in a job that relates to their major. As reported in Forbes — maybe this will humble the Ross kids — those who majored in history go on to earn just as much in the business field as those who majored in it. Hear that, Ross rejects? There’s still hope! The same goes for law and medicine. Those who major in topics that aren’t typical of these fields still achieve the same success in their futures. College is a time for exploration and pursuing one’s interests. Therefore, I encourage other students to find passions outside of their intended career track. Students should major in topics that they genuinely want to pursue instead of topics they feel pressured to pursue. After all, it probably won’t have much effect on the future, and will result in a much happier time at college. I switched my major three times before I decided to major in a subject I enjoyed rather than in a subject that followed the pre-med status quo. Yes, because classes such as organic chemistry don’t count toward the English major, I have to take an extra eight to 10 English classes on top of the prerequisites for medical school. But to me the workload is worth it. I have another 15 years of schooling to learn about synapses. For now, I want to stick to Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Faulkner; when people ask me my major, I want to proudly tell them that it’s English. Evan Sirls can be reached at esirls@umich.edu.

FILM REVIEW
DAILY LITERATURE COLUMN
June Jordan, a poet for the people Literature Columnist Laura Dzubay examines the everlasting effect of Jordan’s 20th century poetry
AMAZON STUDIOS Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams star in “Wonderstruck”
Poetry has long held the reins as a conduit for conscious revolution. In recent years particularly this notion has blossomed, as poets like Claudia Rankine have gained traction due in part to their work with social protest poems. Their poems are not only intelligently crafted, but are also deeply heartfelt and socially conscientious. There are probably few who embody this balance more thoroughly than June Jordan. Alive for two-thirds of the twentieth century, Jordan’s
‘Wonderstruck’ ultimately is redeemed by innovation
Haynes’s latest release struggles to escape its formulaic plot SYDNEY COHEN Daily Arts Writer
This review was first published during our coverage of the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. We are re-printing a slightly edited version in honor of the film’s release this past weekend. Todd Haynes’s new film “Wonderstruck” is a playful if somewhat contrived view on children, the deaf experience and the magic of history museums. While stuffed with acclaimed American actors including Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams, “Wonderstruck” fails to inspire but sufficiently entertains. “Wonderstruck” oscillates between stories that are parallel in theme but separated by time. The film’s main story takes place in 1979 and follows Ben (Oakes Fegley, “Pete’s Dragon”), a young boy plagued by the recent death of his mother and his continuous nightmares of wolves, who longs to find the identity of his father and understand his past. Ben loses his hearing permanently shortly into the film after being struck by lightning. The other story, set in 1929, follows Rose (first-timer Millicent Simmonds), a young deaf girl trapped in a loveless household and obsessed with the silent movies of the era. The stories follow a parallel trajectory: Both protagonists escape their unhappy homes and embark on a journey to New York City, where they search for and find compassion and companionship. Furthermore, both stories
highlight the deaf experience and challenge the notion of communication; as neither character speaks sign language, they must communicate through pen and paper, creating a lagging time between question and answer and subsequently generating suspense and frustration. The film does a great job of spotlighting an often-forgotten disability by celebrating and destigmatizing deafness, reversely constructing a whimsical story of two lost souls who happen to be deaf.
Ultimately, the silent film format creates multiple layers through which to portray the deaf experience, while simultaneously paying respect to an era of cinema equally accessible to the hearing and the hearing-impaired. Museums also play an important role in “Wonderstruck”, both as settings and plot-drivers. Museums act as the stage on which characters meet, cultivate friendships, discover passions and work through issues. While the parallel story segments seem disjointed and unrelated for a large portion of the film, the end reveals that the two protagonists are united by the Natural History Museum, both the place where Rose’s and Ben’s fathers worked, and where Ben discovered his father’s identity. The film’s preoccupation with museums extends to its form as well; the origin story of Ben’s father, a diorama maker for the museum, is told through a complex diorama format reminiscent of Laika Entertainment claymation. Again, Haynes exhibits his ability to play with form and construct multiple, self-aware layers of storytelling. As a whole, “Wonderstruck” is a charming but formulaic story, with uninspired acting and cheesy clichés. The plot escalates suddenly and without warning, with betrayal or revelations happening too quickly and conveniently to feel genuine. However, Haynes’s innovative use of form saves this film from mediocrity, effectively revealing unexplored themes in a playful and subtle way.
“Wonderstruck” Amazon Studios Michigan Theater Beyond its characterizations, the film explores deafness through form. Todd Haynes brilliantly tells the cinematic tale of two deaf kids through the form of a silent movie, playing with the conventions of the genre to create multiple layers through which to explore the deaf experience. Rose’s story is told through the satirized silent film, with exaggerated gestures, sounds effects and musical cues to mimic the format of the classic silent picture. Furthermore, the shots in Rose’s storyline are in black-and-white, contributing to the overall Old Hollywood feel. Ben’s story is similarly crafted with the tropes of a silent film, but with a modern twist; his scenes are characterized by jazz and rock music instead of sound effects, with a heightened emphasis on cinematography and lighting to create a more stylized feel.
SINGLE REVIEW In case you missed it, Disney-bred pop duo Aly & AJ is making music again after a decade-long hiatus. Now operating under their own record label, the sisters are putting out incredible West Coast-inspired synthpop. We got the first taste with mid-August release “Take Me” and another dose this past week with shiny single “I Know.” Both songs present some of the most intricate pop production heard in recent years. “Take Me” lacks predictability even after multiple listens, leading into each refrain differently and scattering the multiple layers of backtracks to create a song that sounds coherent against all odds. “I Know” is similar in that it plays with syncopation, but relies heavily on vocal distortion to cre-
ate ear-catching production. One of the finest examples occurs post-bridge with a crescendoing autotuneenhanced delivery of the
“I Know” Aly & AJ Aly & AJ Music
title lyrics, “I know / you know who’s going to pick you up / who’s going to take you home” that culminates in an ornate drum sequence and leads into the final refrain. From many angles, “I Know” is a pick-me-up song. The lyrics resemble the average pep talk given to a friend
going through a rough patch, reassuring them with, “it’s going to be fine” and pleading, “tell me what will get you out.” Besides the raw lyric content, the delivery and its surrounding atmosphere add to the comforting spirit of the track. The vocals transition from desperate and sympathetic to motivating; the glittery and airy synth production ultimately induces a soothing quality. With the release of “I Know,” Aly & AJ also announced that their new EP, aptly-named Ten Years, will be out Nov. 17. The released singles place a huge amount of potential into the forthcoming work, proving that these sisters are back and better than ever.

LAURA DZUBAY work not only inf luenced the always-evolving craft of literature; it also came to represent many of the issues at the forefront of her own time. She wrote about race, class, sexuality, LGBTQ experiences and a great deal more, often anchoring her work in specific historical events and figures. Her nickname was literally “the Poet of the People,” and it isn’t very hard to see why. The only child of Jamaican immigrant parents, Jordan was raised in Harlem during the 1940s. She developed very distinctive ideas about race and identity from a young
age, due in part to her father — who also shared with her his love of literature — and in part to her experiences attending a predominantly white high school. She later attended Barnard College, but dropped out following her extreme dissatisfaction with the curriculum, which focused almost exclusively on white men. One of Jordan’s most remarkable facets is her versatility. She engaged in a number of different writing styles, including playwriting, children’s literature and journalism as a columnist for The Progressive. Even within her poetry alone, one can detect an amazing tendency to explore and to experiment. Her range of skills extends from beautiful descriptions (“It’s Hard to Keep a Clean Shirt Clean”) to modernesque freeform (“In Memoriam: Martin Luther King, Jr.”) to almost prose-like storytelling (“A Poem about Intelligence for My Brothers and Sisters”). The emotions in her poems are deeply rendered, and accessible even to strangers reading her work from half a century away. She often draws from the well of her own personal experience with familiar issues, even when she’s attaching those experiences to well-known instances and figures, such as in “1977: Poem for Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer.” Jordan isn’t afraid to venture into the realm of the confessional. Her beautiful poem “Apologies to All the People in Lebanon,” probably my favorite of the ones mentioned here, is a personal apolog y to the
Classifieds
people of Lebanon, on behalf of herself and all of the American people, for their lack of aid or interference in the South Lebanon conf lict. Jordan shows no reservation here in claiming her own culpability in the matter, with straightforward lines such as: “Yes, I did know it was the money I earned as a poet that / paid / for the bombs and the planes and the tanks / that they used to massacre your family.” This is strikingly
Her work is absolutely no less relevant today than it would have been thirty or fifty years ago
honest, and speaks volumes as to the genuine quality of her poetry. Jordan’s literary impacts are undeniable, from her approaches to the complex topic of privilege to her contributions to feminist theory. Equally remarkable is the fact that while she often writes about specific moments or aspects of history, her work is no less relevant today than it would have been thirty or fifty years ago. She is not only a poet for the people, but for America and for the ages.

CAPITOL Sam Smith is back with his silly, sappy love songs.
USA Another western, but they get it right.
Sam Smith proves king USA’s ‘Damnation’ is off a solid start in premiere of the modern love song to In the ongoing trend of western TV shows, USA gets it right On his sophomore album, Smith’s heartbreak won’t destory you the listener up for what’s to come; instead of throwing us head-first into cold and unfamiliar water, Smith guides us slowly down the steps feetfirst into the shallow end so we can properly acclimate to the temperature. Eventually, the track picks up with a bouncy beat and infectious melody — it’s new, but it feels and sounds like your forgotten favorite track from a few years ago. When the massive choir hits (the “choir” is typically just a massive layering of Smith’s vocals), it’s all over; the song is “Stay With Me” times ten, and the listener has no choice but
MIKE WATKINS Daily Arts Writer
After a three year absence, British vocalist Sam Smith is back, and as cliché as it sounds, he really is better than ever. With his sophomore album, The Thrill of it All, Smith exploits and emphasizes all of the pieces that made his debut project, In the Lonely Hour, a huge hit, giving listeners a record that is Sam Smith to the max. Piano-driven beats, forty-piece background choirs, and the singer’s out-of-thisworld vocal talent are the primary components of the singer’s formula for love-song success, and they all make The Thrill of it All a gripping album. These proven pieces are met with Smith’s new and obvious musical growth, and when combined with a venture into the artist’s relatively undiscussed homosexuality, they convey one major thing: Smith is the king of the modern pop love song. The album’s first track, “Too Good at Goodbyes,” is a pleasant kick in the teeth, an enjoyable overload of all things Sam Smith. It opens with the classic Smith-piano combo that listeners so thoroughly enjoyed on In the Lonely Hour. This sound is comfortable for both Smith and the listener, and plays right into the aforementioned love-song formula (piano + voice = really good Sam Smith love song), making it the perfect way to open an album with such weight and anticipation. At this point, the singer is warming
The Thrill of It All Sam Smith Capitol to submit to the power of the love song. Many of the songs on the album follow this same trend. They are built on something comfortable and familiar, and many could have easily appeared on In the Lonely Hour, but Smith introduces something new and fresh that is just enough to make the tracks exciting, rather than obsolete. “Say It First” is grounded on a gloomy, guitardriven beat that is right in Smith’s wheelhouse, but the chorus introduces electronic vocals akin to something Diplo might endorse. “One Last Song” opens with a sliced and pitched-up vocal sample that one could hear on a Kanye West track, but it quickly falls
into a classic and infallible 6/8 shuff le that Smith murders with his soulful belting. This tactic is safe and pragmatic; Smith knows what works, and he blends the proven with the experimental to remind the world of his talent. He’s grown as an artist over the past three years, and the proof is in the pudding. Smith is most at the vanguard on “HIM,” a song that professes Smith’s homesexuality in bold, and details his personal struggle. The track opens with, “Holy Father, we need to talk / I have a secret that I can’t keep,” addressing his pain head-on; raised religious and educated in catholic school, it’s not surprising that the now openlygay vocalist has struggled with the implications of his sexual orientation. In the chorus, Smith sends a message to the world, singing “Don’t you try to tell me that God doesn’t care for us / It is him I love, it is him I love.” This song marks the first instance in which Smith explicitly discusses his sexuality in his music, contributing to the already established trend of blending new with old. While some might get tired of Smith’s tales of unrequited love, such is the singer’s brand, and at a short and sweet 35 minutes, The Thrill of it All will certainly not dampen your thoughts with ideas of heartbreak. Take a half-hour out of your day to indulge in the moving love songs and other-worldly voice of the selfprofessed diva boy — you won’t regret it.

There’s just something about the Wild West that captures the hearts of Americans. Maybe it’s the dilapidated saloon doors, or the glistening revolvers, or the folksy language, or maybe it’s all three. Either way, at the risk of overgeneralizing, I’ll say I believe that, across the country, the Wild West continues to maintain a tantalizing aura of mystique and possibility. Part of this is likely due to the genre’s consistently romantic depiction in Hollywood. From Sergio Leone’s Spaghetti Westerns during the 1960s to more recent entries like “Bone Tomahawk” and “Westworld,” it’s not hard to find the glamorized world of rustling tumbleweeds on your television or in your local AMC theater. Seizing on the persistent popularity of the Wild West, USA’s latest foray into this genre — “Damnation” — leans more toward the “There Will Be Blood” spectrum of Westerns. Similar to one of my personal favorites, “Damnation” juxtaposes Christian proselytization with the brutality of the Wild West. While nowhere near as effective or groundbreaking as its distant Hollywood relative, “Damnation” remains a solid addition to the Western genre, with substantial potential for growth if it can adopt a less heavy-handed approach moving forward. Immediately, the first thing I noticed while screening “Damnation” was its gorgeous sweeping landscapes. With shots of barren rolling hills and farmland stretching into the horizon, the series provides the type of visual highlight reel that audiences
have come to expect from their Westerns. I’ve never visited Iowa or Kentucky — the two locales featured in the show — but I’ve been to Nebraska and Tennessee, so I feel marginally qualified to hazard a guess that “Damnation”’s vistas are accurate for these two states during the 1930s. Side note: if you’re from Iowa or Kentucky and want to dispute my scenic evaluation, feel free to pay a visit to my editor — he lives on East University Ave. and simply loves critics dropping by. Beyond its excellent cinematography, “Damnation” succeeds with its talented cast.
“Damnation” Series Premiere USA Tuesdays at 10 p.m. Frankly, I had no idea who the hell Killian Scott (“Calvary”) was before watching the show, but I can now say that I’m quite a fan. In the series, Scott carves out a distinct identity as a manipulative roaming preacher who knows how to handle a Colt .32 as well as he knows Genesis verses. Elsewhere, fellow unknown Teach Grant (“The Tall Man”) effectively makes the most of his limited screen time in the show’s premiere. The show’s veteran presence comes in the form of established Wild West actor Christopher Heyerdahl (“Tin Star”), who turns in a quality performance as the cliché, devil-may-care cowboy. There’s nothing new about Heyerdahl’s character, but every Western needs a cunning villain, and Heyerdahl does a great job of inspiring hatred for his persona. I especially appreciated
Heyerdahl’s role since he comes to “Damnation” after a five-season run on AMC’s own wild west series, “Hell on Wheels.” As a longtime Western fan, I couldn’t help but love that the show cast Heyerdahl in a prominent role in a Western a year after he finished his run on a different Western. It instantly recalled in my mind Leone’s usage of Clint Eastwood (“Gran Torino”) in three back-toback-to-back wild west forays. As f lattering at it is for “Damnation” to be compared to a Leone Western, the two entries diverge in terms of their plotlines. While a typical Leone Western is comprehensive yet concise, “Damnation” is just comprehensive to a fault. The series suffers from its gradual pacing that extends every scene a few minutes too long. By drawing out every shot, the show becomes somewhat clumsy, spending five minutes on a scene that audiences understand in two. It’s not the worst quality in the world for a series to possess in an age of meticulous television, but it renders the show tedious to seasoned viewers who rely on more succinct storylines and more exciting writing — both of which “Damnation” lack — to keep them entertained. “Damnation” could use a little bit of “Westworld”’s magic in this area, so someone dial up Jonathan Nolan (“The Dark Knight”) for USA. With some added f lair and a few trimmed scenes, “Damnation” could truly cement itself as the network alternative to “Westworld,” which is already dominating the small-screen western genre after only one season. It’s a long way to go for “Damnation” to reach such heights, so it better holster its pistol and start climbing.

Maryland’s mistakes help Michigan to lopsided victory BETELHEM ASHAME Managing Sports Editor
COLLEGE PARK — It isn’t common that a game features a battle between a third-string and fourth-string quarterback, but with both Michigan and Maryland ravaged by injuries to their men under center, that is exactly what happened Saturday. While neither quarterback put their definitive stamp on the contest, redshirt freshman Brandon Peters had enough help from both teams for the Wolverines (5-2 Big Ten, 8-2 overall) to come away with a 35-10 victory over the Terrapins (2-5, 4-6). “He made the big play, and he was very accurate,” said Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh. “... He played the kind of football we like, and he did a nice job.” He finished 9-for-18 with 145 yards and two touchdowns on the day, but even those scores through
Motivated by anger

the air came off fortunate breaks. The most work Peters had to do was launch a deep throw over the top of the defense to redshirt sophomore tight end Zach Gentry, who was wide open over the middle. Gentry took the pass the rest of the way into the end zone for a 33-yard score with just over 11 minutes remaining in the second quarter. By that point, the Wolverines already had a two-possession lead. On Michigan’s first scoring drive, Gentry came up with an impressive catch in the red zone when Peters’ pass looked to be out of reach, even for his 6-foot7 frame. After catching the pass, Gentry almost ran it into the end zone, but he was knocked out of bounds a few yards shy. That presented an opportunity for fifth-year senior Henry Poggi to notch a career highlight. In a homecoming game for the Baltimore native, Poggi punched it in from two yards out for his first touchdown as a Wolverine. On Michigan’s second drive,
Peters looked to be in trouble as the Maryland defense came barreling down upon him. But he was able to drop it off to Higdon before absorbing a hard hit, and the running back weaved his way through the defense for a 35-yard gain. The Terrapins were called for a roughing the passer penalty, adding 15 more yards onto the play to move the Wolverines all the way up to Maryland’s 16-yard line. Evans had to rush just three times after that before leaping into the end zone for the score. Peters’ 33-yard touchdown to Gentry was also the byproduct of a Terrapin miscue. Down 14-0 at the start of the second quarter — after all three of its first-quarter drives ended in a three-and-out — Maryland tried to execute a fake punt. But the Terrapins were halted and called for a penalty, giving Michigan the ball deep in Maryland territory. It took Peters all of one play to end that drive with a touchdown
pass to Gentry. “Their safety was playing way backside,” Peters said. “The seam just popped.” His second score of the day came in a similar fashion. On the very next possession, sophomore defensive back Josh Metellus blocked the Terrapins’ punt at the 19-yard line, giving the ball right back to the Wolverines. Junior running back Karan Higdon broke toward the outside for a 16-yard rush, and then Peters lofted a pass to sophomore tight end Sean McKeon for a three-yard touchdown. It took just two plays for that drive to reach the end zone. “I just really sold the fake,” Peters said, “and they really bit on it.” Walk-on quarterback Ryan Brand didn’t have the same amount of support from either side in his first career start for Maryland, finishing 16-for-35 with 136 yards and a touchdown. Toward the end of the first
quarter, Maryland attempted to wake up its offense with a double reverse pass between Brand and Harrison. But with acres of daylight in front of him, Brand couldn’t come up with the catch in the backfield. And even when Brand had his best opportunity of the first half near the end of the second quarter — after the Terrapins had managed to reach Michigan’s 10-yard line — sophomore defensive back David Long intercepted the ball in the end zone and returned it 80 yards. Brand found some success in the second half, though, At the end of the third quarter, he completed two consecutive deep balls to place Maryland at the Wolverines’ fiveyard line. But the drive stalled at the goal-line, and the Terrapins had to settle for a field goal to finally end the shutout bid. On the next possession, Brand finally found the end zone. After a methodical drive through the air, Brand hit receiver Taivon Jacobs for a 10-yard touchdown to bring
the deficit down to 28-10. “They were executing well,” Harbaugh said. “I mean, the execution was good the whole game, but then we made a few mistakes defensively, made a few mistakes offensively. “... (It) was a combination of both, and they made some plays.” But Maryland committed another key error on the next series, and Michigan capitalized yet again. On a deep pass from Peters to freshman receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones, the Terrapin defender was called for a pass interference penalty. Evans made Maryland pay, rushing 17 yards into the end zone to seal the victory. Taking advantage of the Terrapins’ miscues throughout the day, the Wolverines had what Harbaugh called one of the best games of their season. “I really think it might have been our best ballgame — in all three phases,” he said. “Very sound game by our team.”

Shattering expectations E
verything to prove. This is how the Michigan hockey team entered its season, slated to be a bottom-feeder in the highly competitive Big Ten by the preseason coaches’ poll. Over the first month of their season, the Wolverines relentlessly worked to shatter that predetermined image. A sweep of Vermont in the home opening series. Chip. A 5-2 rout of then-No. 15 Penn State — at State College. Chip. A fairly consistent top-10 ranking for ANNA its potent offense. Chip. MARCUS Despite these early season accolades, uncertainty lingered. Michigan undoubtedly had talent, making last year’s lifeless squad seem like a remote memory far in the past. But what were the bounds of its success? The conference home opener against No. 4 powerhouse Minnesota would act as a barometer for this question. And the Wolverines were well aware of that beforehand. “We’re playing a team that has balance and depth,” said Michigan coach Mel Pearson. “I don’t want to speak negatively to the teams we’ve played but they don’t quite have the depth in the scoring that Minnesota does.” This weekend, all eyes turned anxiously to Ann Arbor to watch the Wolverines take on conference royalty. And the first eight minutes of Friday’s second period emphasized that dethroning the Golden Gophers would not be simple. Minnesota’s stacked offense blitzed Michigan’s

defensive zone, burying three goals, all while the Wolverines still had nothing to show for their efforts. That moment could have been the answer to the question of how long Michigan’s early success could be sustained. In the Golden Gophers’ previous four games, they had been stingy, giving up a meager 0.75 goals per game on average. Two of those games were against No. 11 Clarkson. Michigan had just over half a game to resurrect its offense while simultaneously stopping Minnesota. You can do the math. A comeback, given the circumstance, was pretty implausible. But Michigan wasn’t fazed. By the second intermission,
the Wolverines rallied to make it a one-goal game. By the end of regulation, they had tacked on two more, sending the game to overtime. On a power play in extra time, a shot from sophomore forward Will Lockwood connected with fifth-year senior Alex Roos’ helmet in front of the Gopher net. It was unorthodox, but the puck tipped in. Michigan won. Yost Ice Arena erupted. “I’ve been in hockey a long time,” Pearson said. “You see a lot of strange things happen, so until that final second is off the clock, you continue to play. And that’s what I like about this team. And you’re going to continue to see that from them.” In the series’ second
game, the Wolverines saw a shockingly similar storyline. They had a four-goal deficit in the second. They again played what Pearson described as “heart-attack hockey,” tying the game at six with just over a minute left in the final period. After a fruitless overtime on both sides of the puck, the battle ended in a draw. “Sometimes a tie feels like a loss,” Pearson said. “And sometimes, a tie actually feels like a win. And just the situation we were in, and to come back and get a tie for NCAA purposes is huge.” And indeed it should feel like a win. This weekend was a test. And the Wolverines passed it with f lying colors. No, it wasn’t pretty. Friday’s

Two games to change the narrative
KEVIN SANTO
Managing Sports Editor
A
nger is a powerful motivator, so said Jim Harbaugh this Saturday. Well, it’s time to find out just how true that is. In the week that followed a thorough thrashing at the hands of then-No. 2 Penn State, the Wolverines’ disappointment — touched with a dose of that underlying anger — was palpable. Defensive coordinator Don Brown said if the Wolverines went any harder in practice they would start hurting themselves. Rashan Gary admitted he wasn’t sure how to feel. He said it hurt, but also said he was happy it happened,
calling it adversity this team needed to go through. And he called on those who said Michigan’s defense still needed to prove itself to pay attention for the rest of the year. “I don’t feel personally we have to prove anything to anybody,” he said then. The fact is, whether Gary deems it a necessary crucible or not, the Wolverines still haven’t proved any of their doubters wrong. Michigan has become a different team since its season was about to run off the rails in State College, but no one truly knows what that means yet. The Wolverines have themselves a new quarterback in Brandon Peters, and he has acquitted himself well enough — completing 28 of his
46 attempts for 329 yards and four touchdowns through three games. Karan Higdon, and the stable of backs behind him, have thrived behind a resurgent offensive line — rushing for an average of 288.3 yards per game. The defense has done its part too, holding three straight opponents to 14 points or less. But the fact remains: the results against those opponents were expected all along. The Wolverines beat Rutgers and Minnesota handily at home. Saturday afternoon, they kept up with those expectations, notching a 35-10 victory against Maryland in College Park. They’ve picked up the pieces from the disaster in State College,
but they haven’t put them entirely back together just yet. That anger still festers. It should for Jim Harbaugh too. And it goes beyond the confines of this season. Yes, Michigan was embarrassed against Penn State. That one loss matters, but it is only one stroke of an ugly painting. Last season, the Wolverines were sitting pretty, hopes of a College Football Playoff berth glimmering with three weeks remaining in the season. Then they went to Iowa City, and lost. They went to Columbus, and lost. They went to the Orange Bowl and lost again. All in all, a season seemingly destined for glory was halted in its tracks. So here Michigan is again, faced with two games to close the season that will be a barometer of just how far this team has come — not just since Penn State, but since last year. Win them, and that’s another 10-2 record with a whole lot of intangible progress attached to it. Lose them and, well, that’s a story for another day. First up is a trip to Madison. No. 5 Wisconsin hasn’t needed anger as a motivator, mainly because the Badgers don’t have much reason to be angry. They remain the Big Ten’s only undefeated team, and for the most part, it’s been an easy path to this point. No. 8 Ohio State, on the other hand, had plenty to be angry about. And the Buckeyes can agree with Harbaugh on one thing: anger is a powerful motivator indeed. They avenged a 55-24 upset at Iowa by hanging 48 points on Michigan State — blowing the Spartans out at home. The odds are grim for Michigan from here. Add in the fact that the Wolverines have yet to beat a team with a winning record this year, or that they haven’t beaten a ranked team on the road since 2006, and the odds are even grimmer. But all those losses can’t be rectified until Michigan beats a quality opponent. And they’re about to face two. Let’s see just how angry the Wolverines are. Santo can be reached at kmsanto@umich.edu or on Twitter @Kevin_M_Santo.
5-4 overtime win was not a blowout, and Michigan didn’t sweep the weekend. Both nights, the Wolverines played thriller hockey, only emerging midway through the game, and in the nick of time for a dazzling comeback in both games. Yet Michigan, unranked, rattled the Gophers, who — up until Friday — were yet to give up five goals in one sitting. The next night they gave up six. The Wolverines battled adversity and walked away with a victory. Minnesota alternatively left Yost emptyhanded, devoid of a win on the weekend for the first time this season. “(Minnesota) is a good hockey team,” Pearson said. “I thought for the most part
it brought the best out in our team at times.” There is no more conjecture regarding the extent of Michigan’s talent this season. The Wolverines gave the Golden Gophers their most troublesome weekend thus far this season, affirming that they can compete with the best. And what more, really, could Michigan have asked for? Minnesota will view this weekend as a bitter loss. Michigan should view it as a win. Following the weekend, the Wolverines are likely to earn a top-20 ranking for the first time this season. Even so, the team is continuing to raise the bar regarding its personal expectations. “Yeah, you know we got a lot of confidence, but we got to keep moving forward,” Lockwood said. “We’re not going to settle for that, we aren’t going to settle for a win and a loss. We’re going to take that as a 1-1 weekend, and going into next weekend try to sweep.” Of course this is the mindset Michigan has to maintain to prevent missing a step in the Big Ten — especially with a series against No. 7 Wisconsin next weekend. But for the first time this season, the Wolverines have quieted their critics. They showed they can score, even when pressed for time. They can fight back from large deficits. They can keep up with top competitors. As for that predetermined image? Michigan just notched four points against the fourthranked team in the nation. Crack.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Despite slow start, Michigan wins big The Wolverines opened the season by eventually blowing out North Florida MIKE PERSAK
Daily Sports Editor
It certainly wasn’t the way the Michigan men’s basketball team had hoped to open its regular season. After a lackluster start left the Wolverines down seven with 10:18 left in the first half, it would be awhile before things got better. 67 N. FLORIDA MICHIGAN 87 While Michigan eventually powered its way to an 87-67 win over North Florida, it wasn’t pretty, especially at the beginning of the contest. In the first half, the Wolverines shot a meager 38 percent from the field, were outrebounded 20-14 and gave up a host of good looks on defense, as the Ospreys shot 45 percent from the field and 67 percent from three. Michigan’s saving grace came from three major offensive contributors. Redshirt sophomore forward Charles Matthews, junior forward Moritz Wagner and fifth-year senior forward Duncan Robinson combined for 59 points. With their efforts, along with some timely contributions from role players, Michigan managed to secure a 1-0 record. The deciding stretch came after a pair of free throws from Ospreys forward Wajid Aminu tied the game with 11:03 left to play. The Wolverines went on an 37-17 run to end the game, using opportunistic defense to
force turnovers that resulted in open looks to earn a lead they would never relinquish. “Little things kind of started to go our way here and there just because I think we had a heightened sense of urgency,” Robinson said. “The game kind of tends to favor the bold in that sense. Being more active, being the aggressor, you get more bounces, get shots to go in. That started happening in the second half.” Turnovers were ultimately the key to the outcome. North Florida committed 24 of them, and though its hot shooting from deep kept the game close, the task of overcoming their mistakes proved to be too tough for the Ospreys. “I thought they threw it to us a few times, but we were just trying to just be solid,” said Michigan coach John Beilein. “Sometimes, if you’re just solid, they’ll run out of options and they’ll throw it away. And that’s really what happened. We weren’t trapping, we were just playing straight, good, hard, pressure defense.” Michigan won’t have long to ponder on the mistakes that kept this game close for most of its duration, as it will return to Crisler Center on Monday to face Central Michigan. Though the Wolverines were expected to have some growing pains at the beginning of the season, if they don’t tighten up the basics, even some of their games against lackluster opponents could be contested.

Wolverines top Northwestern, clinch spot in Final Four Way’s hat trick leads Michigan past Wildcats ARIA GERSON
Daily Sports Writer
“Magical.” That was the word Michigan coach Marcia Pankratz used to describe junior forward Emma Way after her hat trick led the Wolverines to a 3-0 win over Northwestern in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. From the beginning, Michigan seemed to have the Wildcats under its spell. The Wolverines fought off Northwestern’s early possession lead and took the ball down the field. Way tipped in a diagonal pass from fifthyear senior forward Carly Bennett for her first goal. “Attacking-wise we could take a couple more risks (after the goal),” said senior goalkeeper Sam Swenson. “So it was a nice little cushion.” One of those risks was in Michigan’s passing. After having the majority of their passes blocked by Syracuse’s defense in the round of 16, the Wolverines found more success Sunday through their triangular passing formation. Senior back Katie Trombetta stood directly in front of Swenson to receive passes when other players weren’t open. “Since we’ve played (the Wildcats) three times now, we had an idea of what they do on their breakout,” Way said. “We did a very good job of stepping in front of every ball that was passed to us.” Four minutes into the second half, Way did just that, positioning herself well for freshman midfielder Kayla Reed’s pass. She knocked it in the cage to extend the lead to 2-0. Way’s third goal was perhaps the most impressive
of all, as she dove to receive a pass, then tipped the ball right through Northwestern goalkeeper Annie Kalfa’s legs. “She has magical hands, and it was evident today,” Pankratz said. “We needed it.” But the Wildcats weren’t letting up easily. They put the Wolverines’ defense to the test by drawing three consecutive penalty corners. After the first two shots were blocked, Northwestern attempted a direct shot. Swenson, though, was there to make the save. “Our corner (defense) executed really well,” Swenson said. “We’re really focused because they are very dangerous on corners.”
The Wildcats’ speed wasn’t a problem for the Wolverines. They knew Northwestern’s strategy was to play quickly, and they were prepared. A quick shot by Northwestern midfielder Kaitlin Wood looked like a surefire goal, but Swenson made it there first, using her leg to block the shot. “The final foray at the end, (the defense) managed it really well,” Swenson said. “We weathered the storm.” One final blocked shot sealed the win and a spot in the Final Four against Maryland. “I’m so excited,” Swenson said. “I think we can do special things.”
Swenson keeps ‘M’ afloat, gets deserving win RIAN RATNAVALE For the Daily
Maybe it was time for Michigan to save Sam Swenson for once, instead of the other way around. As the active NCAA leader in career save percentage — both this year and for her career— the senior goalkeeper has bailed out the Wolverines time and time again. Swenson stands on top of one mountain of success. But she’s looking at a higher one: an NCAA Championship. Before Saturday’s 1-0 overtime win against Syracuse, Michigan only had one NCAA Tournament win during Swenson’s tenure— a 2-1 win over Wake Forest in 2015.

Katelynn Flaherty snaked around the top of the key, stopped on a dime and rattled the shot. Up on the Crisler Center scoreboard, a graphic f lashed: nine points to go. Alas, this was not the day Flaherty would break Diane Dietz’s all-time scoring record. Those were her last points of the day. Hold the countdown, at least for now. “I forgot about the record,” joked Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico after the game. “And then when I took her out of the game, someone had mentioned to me how many points away she was. Obviously we knew coming into the year Katelynn was going to set the record. She’s just such a tremendous player. But my concern with Katelynn right now is making sure she’s rested, making sure she has a tremendous season, making sure she stays injury free.” Still, the No. 24 Michigan women’s basketball team dominated Liberty from start to finish Sunday,
Even that year, Michigan lost its next game, 1-0 to No. 2 North Carolina. “It means everything,” Swenson said. “I mean we had a close chance a couple years ago, so to finally do that it feels really great. We have a really special team, so it’s really extra nice to do it with them this year.” With time expiring in the first half, Syracuse was in prime position to score the first goal of a gritty, defensive game off a corner. As the Orange lobbed a 45-degree shot toward the right side of the goal, Swenson stretched out her leg and deflected the shot outside the right post with her shin pad. Eight minutes later, the goalkeeper stopped a Syracuse
winning 74-50 and moving on to the preseason WNIT semifinals against the winner of Louisville and Toledo’s matchup Tuesday. Flaherty’s pursuit of the record will be made the story of this game, but the Wolverines’ defense was what won it so easily. Michigan — which normally plays a 2-3 zone — went to a press toward the end of the first quarter. The results were almost immediate. Right at the start of the second, sophomore forward Kayla Robbins picked up a def lection, leading to a 10-second violation on Liberty. Just seconds later, freshman guard Deja Church stole the ball away with the Lady Flames still in the backcourt and laid it up. The rout was on.
“Coach Wes (Brooks), it was his scout. That was his gameplan,” Barnes Arico said. “He thought that if we pressured them and made them speed up a little bit, it would play into our hands. That was his call after the scout. It was a great call.” By halftime, the Wolverines were up by 20. When the third quarter ended, the margin was 27. When the final horn sounded, the score was 74-50 and the game not as close as that. Michigan forced 17 Liberty turnovers, most of them with the press. Other than freshman forward Hailey Brown, every Wolverine starter had at least one steal. Even when the Lady Flames got it down the court, they were near-hapless most of the time. When Liberty managed to find open shooters, the ball seemed to hit air more often

than net. In addition to scoring 20, Flaherty picked up five assists. For this being just her second ever start at point guard, the senior seems to be an adept learner. She did everything from beating Liberty’s press by finding Hallie Thome downcourt for a layup to snaking in and out of the paint, opening up junior guard Nicole Munger for a 3-pointer. Munger finished with 13 points of her own on 3-for-5 shooting from beyond the arc. She also had three steals and thrived in the press, picking up def lection after def lection as the game went on. Michigan finished with 26 points off turnovers, a good portion of those thanks to her. Sophomore guard Akienreh Johnson also saw her first extended time on the court after suffering an ACL injury last season. She came in at the start of the second quarter, however, didn’t get her name on the statsheet until the end of the half. Munger nearly lost the ball after stealing it away from the Lady Flames. Johnson, however, took it right back and ran down the remainder of the court for an easy lay-in. Though Johnson played only a minute in the Wolverines’ opener, the 15 she had Sunday were a step-up from than the feeling-out time she had previously. “It was just great to see her out there,” Barnes Arico said. “She’s worked incredibly hard and she’s had some setbacks. To watch her battle back, and her perseverance, was just inspirational to us all.” In all likelihood, Michigan will get its first big test of the year Thursday. Louisville — their opponents barring a massive upset — is the ninthranked team in the country, and Michigan will go on the road to play them. However, the Wolverines have passed their first two tests, and done so with f lying colors.
shot cold in its tracks inches away from the goal. Regardless, Swenson deferred praise of the Wolverines’ defensive prowess Saturday afternoon to Michigan’s back line and the rest of her teammates. “Our back line is incredible,” Swenson said. “But really, the back line starts with the forwards and the forwards did a great job of keeping the ball pressed up high. Especially when there were corner balls, we almost always turned it over.” “We put a lot of pressure on them if they messed it up because they put that pressure on our backfield. And we were there to pick it up. Katie (Trombetta) did a great job today, and Maggie (Bettez) and Halle (O’Neill) also did.” Swenson didn’t have to shoulder the load after that. Syracuse didn’t even take another shot on goal after 45-minute mark, as the back line of the junior and freshman duo of Bettez and O’Neill walled off the Orange’s attackers. The senior goalkeeper got to do something that she hadn’t been able to do before: watch her offense work. Swenson noted after the game how happy she was to see the offense close out the game after 77 minutes of strong defense. “I felt like it was gonna come,” Swenson said. “I think we were really patient, we worked it around the back, and then Meg (Dowthwaite) obviously tipped it in. It was a great goal and I felt like we deserved it, and obviously, I was really excited, I don’t think I’ve ever run so fast down the field. So, yeah, really excited and proud of them to finish. They deserved it.” Swenson, for her defensive prowess throughout her Wolverine tenure, deserved it too.
MEN’S SOCCER
Wolverines falter in Big Ten Tournament THEO MACKIE For the Daily
One whistle blew, Michigan forward Francis Atuahene restarted the match after a fourth Wisconsin goal, and a second later, three more sounded, signaling the end of the top-seeded Wolverines’ Big Ten Tournament dream run. Moments earlier, Wisconsin forward Alex Alfaro had put the final dagger in a disappointing afternoon for the Michigan men’s soccer team, as his goal with one second remaining put the Badgers up 4-0. Michigan’s hopes of a Big Ten Tournament title took its largest blow with 15 minutes remaining. With the Wolverines dominating possession but trailing 1-0, a bad back pass from Wisconsin put freshman forward Mohammed Zakyi through on goal with a chance to equalize. A great save from keeper Philipp Schilling saw the ball fall to a Wisconsin defender, who played a long ball over the top to forward Chris Mueller. Mueller cut past two Michigan defenders and finished to the far post — all but sealing the Badgers’ victory, merely seconds after it looked like their lead was finally going to fall. “We thought that was the equalizer,” said Michigan coach Chaka Daley. “Then off of that, they came straight back on top of us and we lost a little bit of focus and they scored off that play. … (It) definitely took the wind out of our sails a little bit.” Wisconsin opened the scoring 29 minutes into the match when a cross fell loose in the box after a Badger striker landed on top of freshman goalkeeper Henry Mashburn. The opportunity didn’t go wasted, as the ball was slotted home with Mashburn still lying hopelessly on the ground.
Mashburn found himself on the ground again for the Badgers’ third goal, as he slipped while taking a free kick, ultimately allowing Tom Barlow to finish into an empty net. Despite the loss, the 12th-ranked Wolverines have a favorable chance to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012, especially given their regular season conference title. But they still must await the selection committee’s decision on whether they have done enough to earn one of 16 first-round byes. “We have some top 25 results, big wins,” Daley said. “We’re in a great position to be in the NCAA Tournament so whether or not we’re in the first round or we get a bye, I think that’s what we were trying to cement today.” In order to make its impact felt in the tournament, Michigan will have to re-group from what was its first loss since Oct. 10 and most lopsided loss of the season. Daley, though, isn’t concerned. “I’m confident that the guys will regroup from the (Big Ten Tournament),” Daley said, “which was a little bit of a disappointment, and get our minds right for the NCAA Tournament, which is the ultimate prize.” And while Friday may have been a let down for the red-hot Wolverines, Daley is determined to not let his team lose the focus that led them to his most successful regular season in Ann Arbor. “I’m positive that the group will be re-invigorated.” Daley said. “It’s exhausting to go through the regular season and win the title the way we won, which is something new for them. … A loss at the end of the season on a neutral site doesn’t necessarily distinguish our body of work, which has been really, really good.”

One quarter and an exodus
OLLEGE PARK — A streak of red remained in section 12, if only because they were obligated to. That group was the “Mighty Sound of Maryland” Marching Band. The scene around them, though, was far more depressing. There were KEVIN a whole lot SANTO of empty seats. The ones that weren’t empty, well, fans clad in maize and blue primarily filled those. And really, it’d be hard to blame the Maryland faithful for making the exodus after the second quarter that the Terrapins had. “I felt like we definitely were clicking all together that first half,” said fifth-year senior defensive tackle Maurice Hurst. “It felt like everything was sort of working to our
advantage. … I definitely saw us, at least in the first half, sort of clicking on all cylinders. “We were doing a great job. I felt like we were a hard team to play against when we’re doing what we’re supposed to and everyone’s producing, scoring points, getting off the field. … That was the first time I’ve seen us click all together.” Hurst isn’t wrong, but it started with a questionable decision. Maryland coach D.J. Durkin elected to fake a punt on 4th-and-7 from his own 30-yard line. The Terrapins trailed by just 14, and the Wolverines stopped the play firmly in its tracks. Brandon Peters subsquently threw a touchdown pass. On the next drive, the referee reversed a 29-yard pass to Taivon Jacobs, ruling that the Maryland receiver hadn’t maintained possession of the ball. It was Maryland’s best play of the game to that point, but things changed quickly in the second quarter Saturday night. Durkin didn’t dare fake
another punt, and it didn’t matter. Josh Metellus barreled into the backfield, blocked the punt and Michigan recovered. Peters completed a pass to the end zone again. The Terrapins finally showed life on their next drive, only to see Ryan Brand get picked off by David Long — who returned the interception 80 yards. There was no Peters touchdown pass this time. Quinn Nordin missed from 31 yards, and Maryland rushed twice for three yards to end the half. So began the march toward the exits, and there was plenty of reason to leave. After all, the majority of the cheering came after Quinn Nordin’s extra points f lew, undeterred by a net, into the student section. A year after being blown out by 56 in Ann Arbor, the Terrapins looked well on their way to a repeat occurrence at home. And for one reason or

Peters, tight ends finding chemistry ORION SANG
Daily Sports Editor
COLLEGE PARK — Just last week, Sean McKeon was on one end of a missed connection. The sophomore tight end was wide open across the middle of the field. His quarterback, though, was busy taking a crushing sack — a hit that left him slow to get up. So McKeon ran over, and as good friends do, had some fun with Brandon Peters. “... I was just mad because I was open on a crossing route for the first down,” McKeon recalled, grinning, after Michigan’s 33-10 win over Minnesota. “I was like, ‘Man, were you going to throw it to me on that crosser?’ (Peters) was like, ‘I was about to, but then I got hit.’ I was like, ‘Aw, man. That’s alright.’” The two wouldn’t miss the same opportunity against Maryland on Saturday afternoon. In the second quarter, the Wolverines called a playaction pass on 1st-and-goal from the three-yard line. Peters rolled out, McKeon sprinted across the formation into the flats and the two hooked up for as easy of a touchdown as they’ll have all season. Of course, Peters and McKeon are no Hall and Oates. But there’s still a burgeoning connection between the two classmates — and between Peters and his other favorite tight end target, Zach
Gentry. “Sean McKeon, heck of a football player, Zach Gentry’s blossoming, heck of a football player,” said Jim Harbaugh. “... I think we’re doing a very good job at the tight end position. Blocking, catching, assignments are good, no penalties, we’re not turning the ball over. Kind of football we like.” Before Maryland, Michigan’s tight ends had just two touchdowns on the season. Now, they have double that after McKeon’s threeyard snag followed a 33-yard bullet down the seam to Gentry on the previous drive. Peters hasn’t thrown all that often when he’s played. But when he does, chances are he’s looking for his biggest and burliest passcatchers. McKeon led the team in receptions and receiving yards against Rutgers and Minnesota. He’s in the midst of a seven-game catch streak, longest on the team, and is first on the team with 25 receptions and second with 256 receiving yards. On Saturday, though, his teammate took over the spotlight. It was Gentry who led the team in both receptions and receiving yards with three for 63. Gentry’s score may have been easier than McKeon’s. It was the first play following a failed fake punt. Maryland stacked the box with eight, Peters read the
defense and Gentry found himself celebrating his second touchdown of the year. “Yeah, so the one over the middle, their safety was just playing way back side and the seam just popped,” Peters said. Added Gentry: “I thought it was a good play call. I knew there was a chance I was going to get the ball. Brandon did an excellent job reading the defense — read the safety, who went away from me, and it just opened up.” Peters said Michigan uses the tight ends “a lot” in the passing game and that they’re “always working” on releases and route timing. The extra effort has clearly paid off. Whereas Michigan’s receivers have stalled, recording just nine catches for 59 yards with no touchdowns over the past three games, the tight ends have flourished. Yet Gentry didn’t think there was any particular emphasis on throwing to the tight ends. To him, his position group’s success has been simple: a product of both Peters and how opposing defenses have lined up. “I don’t know if there’s anything really different that we do with Brandon where he’s targeting us more,” Gentry said. “I just think that he’s making some good reads and the secondary just gave us a good look.”
FOOTBALL
another, Maryland made that easy — the Wolverines had to start only one drive in their half of the field. “That’s big time for an offense,” said redshirt sophomore tight end Zach Gentry. “It gives us so much confidence just because we’re working on such a short field. Credit to our special teams and our defense there, because we got a short field a lot of times and it just led right to scores for the most part.” Added sophomore cornerback David Long: “We’re always kind of like one play away. Our coach always talks about that, so we’re just trying to hone in on just winning every rep, winning every play. And so I think we really did that that second quarter.” That they did, and to make matters worse, Eyabi Anoma — the top-ranked recruit in the state who has offers from both Maryland and Michigan — was at Capital One Field at Maryland Stadium to see it all. Anoma, however, may have seen one thing that those who left did not. Maryland outgained Michigan 228 to 93 in the second half, averaging 6.9 yards per play. That’s not to say the Wolverines didn’t deserve to win, because they undoubtedly did. But the second half was ugly, and Michigan won its matchup in College Park during the second quarter. Then again, there’s nothing wrong with that. After all, it was that quarter in which the Wolverines’ three phases came together in conjunction. And it was that quarter that left Maryland’s band look like an outlier among a sea of empty aluminum. Santo can be reached at kmsanto@umich.edu or on Twitter @Kevin_M_Santo.
Nordin continues to struggle at Maryland TED JANES
Daily Sports Writer
COLLEGE PARK — With a minute left in the second half, Quinn Nordin trotted out for a field goal. The Michigan football team led 28-0, and the Wolverines’ redshirt freshman kicker lined up for a 31-yard kick. With no wind, no rain and no excuses, Nordin booted the ball wide to the right of the post — his third straight missed field goal. After the miss, Nordin walked off the field and exchanged words with coach Jim Harbaugh. On the television broadcast, it appeared that Nordin yelled back at Harbaugh, but the coach insisted otherwise in his post game press conference. Harbaugh elaborated on the conversation with Nordin after Michigan’s 35-10 win over the Terrapins. “Start making them,” Harbaugh said to his young kicker. He later added: “He didn’t really snap back. I said to (Nordin), ‘I’m giving you one more shot. You’ve got to make the next one.’ And he said, ‘I got this. I will make the next one.’ ” In the last four games, Nordin has gone 0-for-3 on field-goal attempts and missed two extra points over that span as well. His recent struggles have provided a sharp contrast to the season’s first four games, when he hit 11 of 13 field-goal attempts to carry the Wolverines’ inadequate offense. Harbaugh didn’t see exactly what went wrong with Nordin’s field-goal miss Saturday against Maryland, but he mentioned that it
might have been a protection formation that the Terrapins’ special teams unit flashed at the last moment. Last week, after Nordin missed a 49-yard field goal against Minnesota, Harbaugh said Nordin was kicking too fast. “He’s missed a few now in a row, and he’s got to make them,” Harbaugh said. Nordin rose to fame during his high school recruitment when Harbaugh slept over at his house. Once committed to Penn State, Nordin flipped to come to Michigan. He didn’t play last year, as former Wolverine Kenny Allen handled all of Michigan’s kicking duties, but once the 2017 season started, Nordin became a fan favorite immediately. He lit up the season opener in Dallas with two field goals from over 50 yards against Florida, and his prominent ‘Wild Thing’ haircut thrust him into the spotlight. A few weeks ago, a clip of Nordin hitting a field goal even showed up in the second game of the World Series. Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Rich Hill, who is a Michigan alum, is known for his unique pitching motion that involves a huge leg swing. It’s been that kind of year for Nordin. Just as quickly as he became a fan favorite, he’s become a target for discontent. Harbaugh told Nordin after the miss that he wouldn’t replace him as the team’s kicker unless he missed again. Nordin only had one more kick to take — an extra point in the fourth quarter — and he converted. Nordin will need to make his field goals, too, or Harbaugh won’t have any reason to keep sending him out there.
