…Last Saturday at the Big House, I saw a sea of Maize-and-Blue — as it is often described whenever we convene at the stadium — complete with bodies packed and bleachers stacked in undulating exaltation. Hours later, a similar sea moving in a much faster fashion rushed ashore on the surface of my phone as one by one, post after post flooded my feed all in service to gameday. But let’s be clear. Gameday photos are never a monolith. T...…
…7-Opinion O ne year ago, our campus felt chaotic. Inadequate testing, spiking COVID-19 cases and thousands of frightened and disgruntled university workers, who, in a shock to the system, declared they were going on strike for better working conditions. Among these workers were more than a hundred members of University Housing’s Residential Staff who joined the strike to pursue their own demands, in a two-week- long s...…

…Despite its winning record heading into Friday’s matchup against No. 12 New Hampshire, the Michigan men’s soccer team had yet to play a complete game well. The Wolverines’ slow starts have led to missed opportunities and have forced them to play catch-up with the opposing team. Michigan hoped to change this narrative, but this game was no different, as the team fell, 1-0. The Wolverines’ offense struggled mightily in the first half....…
…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Sports Wednesday, September 15, 2021 — 11 Trailing 1-0 in the 66th minute, junior forward Evan Rasmussen slid the ball past the New Hampshire defenders to sophomore midfielder Bryce Blevins. Blevins took aim from inside the 18-yard box and fired a shot into the left-side netting, failing to put it on target. Blevins’s scoring opportunity was one of many for the Michigan men’s soccer team...…

…Recently, I had a falling out with someone who told me in parting that they could, at the very least, always count on me to look out for myself. Not look after. Not take care of. Look out. As in, that ball is about to hit your head. Look out. Engage your defenses. While I didn’t fight this, I can’t forget it, because weeks after the conversation I still find myself struggling to work through all the bitter complexities of the statem...…

I was not expecting to talk with him that evening, but when he texted asking if he could call, I promptly dialed him back, remembering the rarity of being awake and on our phones at the same time. Two months earlier, I flew up to Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, ...…
…S aturday, Sept. 4 marked a monumental moment in Ann Arbor. For the first time in nearly two years, Michigan Stadium welcomed in students at full capacity for the first game of the Wolverines’ 2021 season. And though this wasn’t a homecoming game, the event centered largely on the idea of coming — or, more accurately, returning — home. A tumultuous virtual year left students scattered across the world in their childhood bedrooms. T...…

They’ve shared a romantic interlude in Paris, only to part for years after. They’ve woken up in bed together this morning. It’s both a notable and unexciting event, the sort that Eileen, nearing 30, clings to. The moment happens in her head more than in reality, in her heart. She watches t...…

…7-Opinion L ast November saw the continuation of a local tradition in Rochester, N.Y., where hundreds of women adorned the grave of Susan B. Anthony with their “I Voted” stickers. The act is a nod to the role she played in earning women the right to vote. But the tradition glosses over a major problem with the history of the women’s suffrage movement: It was done almost entirely for the benefit of white women. Anthony w...…

…The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com Sports Wednesday, September 8, 2021 — 11 One aspect of soccer that is often overlooked is moments of transition. These are the few seconds following a change in possession. They are often the time when the ball is the easiest to win back and hardest to keep. They can also be when a defense is most vulnerable because their players are set up to attack, not defend. People tend to focus on wha...…
