…For 3,653 days — long, arduous, hollow days — the Michigan football program lived in the shadows of its unremitting failures against Ohio State. There won’t be a 3,654th day. At long last, that futile streak is over. After eight consecutive bitter losses to the Buckeyes, the Wolverines emerged from The Game victorious. No. 5 Michigan (11-1 overall, 8-1 Big Ten) shocked No. 2 Ohio State (10- 2, 8-1), 42-27, clinching the Big Ten East...…
…When a couple knocked on Rack- ham student Jeffrey Lockhart’s door on Nov. 4 asking if he was planning on renewing his apartment lease, Lockhart knew something wasn’t right. As a tenant of Oxford Companies, a popular Ann Arbor real estate com- pany, Lockhart said he was surprised to find prospective tenants outside his home asking about his plans to renew so that they can potentially take over his lease next year. Lock- hart said he ...…
…The University of Michi- gan’s endowment, which is currently valued at $17 billion, rose by an estimated $4.7 bil- lion in the 2021 financial year, a 40.6% return on investment. The increase was announced by Geoffrey Chatas, executive vice president and chief financial officer, at the Oct. 21 Board of Regents meeting. This year, higher education institution endowments across the U.S. saw the strongest annual performance since 1986, ...…
…Around 50 students gathered on the Diag the afternoon of Nov. 19, with some walking out of their classes, to demand the University of Michigan expand its policies for climate change mitigation and sexual misconduct prevention and take responsibility for its actions.

…“Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to yet another round of Bones or No Bones: the game where we find out if my 13-year-old pug woke up with bones, and, as a result, we’ll find out what kind of day we’re going to have.” This is how Jonathan Graziano opens almost every one of his Tik- Tok videos featuring his adorable pug, Noodle. For over a year now, Graziano has made jokes about Noodle having “no bones,” flopping back down o...…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Arts 6 — Wednesday, December 1, 2021 I can’t in good faith say that I’m a Swiftie. I’m a Swiftie in the sense that we all are Swifties — because you can’t avoid her. Her music has defined a generation, whether you like it or not. Even if I don’t buy tickets to Taylor’s shows, it’s still a Swift-dominated world, and I still reap the benefits of breakup songs. Everybody loves her femcel anthem, and ...…

…I love a good, classic loading screen. I don’t mean those obnoxiously slow progres- sion bars or the tracker timelines on food delivery apps that halt on each stage for 15 minutes. My favorites are the small, simple graphics that repeat in perpetuity with no discernible end to their progression. The repetitive, continuous motion is oddly calm- ing. I love the little revolving lights that circle around and around, lavishing away the tim...…
…Since the start of my childhood, Nov. 1 meant the hanging of a quilt from the stove in my kitchen. It was my mom’s “Thankful Quilt,” decorated with felt leaves, turkeys and other Thanks- giving-esque patches. More importantly, the quilt was lined with little pockets numbered one through 30 — a pocket for each day of the month. And every night, before eating dinner, my mom would have my sister and I write down what we were thankful for ...…

…Come late November, the Michigan fanbase is used to singing the same melancholy song: There’s always next year. But, as the Wolverines have espoused since the first day of the season, this year — and this team — is different. On Saturday, when Michigan led Ohio State at the half, fans started to believe that it could be true. The 14-13 score was hardly an indication of the dominance to come, but rather a hint that this time, ma...…
…Sitting behind the podium after the Michigan football team’s win over No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday, Jim Harbaugh took a moment to look around. Usually, his press conferences strike the same somber, frustrated, dejected chords after games against the Buckeyes. But when Harbaugh’s well- documented 0-5 record against his arch rival changed during Saturday’s 42-27 victory, so did No. 5 Michigan’s season outlook. And Harbaugh’s ton...…
