Michigan beat the Fighting Irish for the first time since 2003, when the Wolverines went on to lose to Southern Cal In the Rose Bowl. In historic victory, Varsity stuns Irish By Matt Singer Daily Sports Editor SOUTH BEND - At the end, there was no cheering for 01' Notre Dame. Only the stunned silence of Irish fans as Chad Henne took a knee and raised the ball triumphantly over his head. The echoes were awake, all right - but not the ones mentioned in Notre Dame's famous fight song. These were the echoes of "It's Great to be a Michigan Wolverine" reverberating through Notre Dame Stadi- um's tunnel, as the Wolver- ines jogged off the field with their winged helmets raised to the sky. And No. 2 Notre Dame was marching. Just not onward to victory. Instead, the Fighting Irish (1) were marching to a humiliating, shocking and total defeat at the hands of the 11th-ranked Wolverines (3-0). For more analysis of Saturday's game, see SportsMonday. "I think it's really impor- tant to understand that that team just came and just whooped us pretty good:' Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said. Riding sophomore wide receiver Mario Manning- ham's three-touchdown day and a rock-solid defen- sive performance, Michi- gan closed out its pre-Big Ten schedule with a 47-21 demolition of Notre Dame - its largest margin of vic- tory ever in South Bend. The dominating win exorcised a whole host of demons for the Wolverines. Finally, after three unsuc- cessful tries, Michigan coach Lloyd Carr earned his first victory in South Bend. Finally, after six consecutive losses, the Wolverines came away with a victory in their road opener. And finally, after a miserable 2005 sea- son, Michigan put itself right back in the middle of the col- lege football landscape. "Notre Dame is a great institution, with a great tradi- tion," Carr said. "And Michi- gan is the same. Soas acoach, when you can win against a rival like that, believe me, it's special, because it's hard. I mean, the credit, it sure as hell doesn't go to me. Those guys out on the field, they played the game." With the score tied 7-7 late in the first quarter, the game appeared to have all the mak- ings of a classic, tight Michi- gan-Notre Dame battle. But then the Manningham show started. It began with a cut, and then another. Manningham ran a complex route down the right sideline, blowing by Notre Dame corner Ambrose Wooden's man-to-man cov- erage. Michigan quarterback Chad Henne stepped up in the pocket amid a heavy rush and lofted a perfect lob, hit- See FOOTBALL, page 7A SUMMING IT UP "It's important to understand that this team came and whooped us pretty good:' C -Notre Dame head coach CHARLIE Senate Dems rally on Diag U Speakers criticize Bush, Iraq war while emphasizing P education funding By Dave Mekelburg D ily Staff Reporter A flock of big-name Democratic senators descended on the University yesterday to rally Democratic troops for the Nov. 7 election.

Twenty Google employ- ees will start working at the AdWords office at 112 S. Main St. today, said Grady Burnett, head of online sales and operations for the Ann Arbor office. AdWords, which manag- es site-targeted advertising sales, is Google's biggest source of revenue. The Main Street office is only temporary, but Google said it plans to stick around. The company announced in July it will build a perma- nent AdWords office in the Ann Arbor area. But wheth- er it will build within city limits is a topic of recent speculation.
