* lyric from song recorded by Austrian musician Falco. To date, the single is the only German language song to peak at number one of the Billboard Hot 100.

89th annual Mud Bowl
It’s another home game in the Big House today for the Michigan Wolverines, but meanwhile on campus, this happens first:
Started in 1932, the annual Mud Football Bowl takes place during Fall Rush homecoming in the natural kettle hole on the side of the old SAE frathouse, which the Ann Arbor fire department fills with 10,000 gallons of water. The party is now thrown by the Michigan Mudbowl Club and all proceeds benefit the UM Mott Children’s Hospital and many, many turn out to cheer them on and celebrate.
