Valpo's Mid-Con Championship Bid Falls Short against IUPUI
Friday, April 23, 2004Valparaiso saw its 2004 season come to a close on Friday morning, suffering a tough 5-1 loss to IUPUI in the Mid-Continent Conference Championship match in Indianapolis, Ind. The Crusaders saw their nine-match winning streak come to an end with the loss.
IUPUI, the tournament's second seed opened by taking the doubles point as Mallory Stemle and Michelle Cunningham defeated Mara Sonkin (Wheaton, Ill./Warrenville South H.S.) and Whitney Chada (Downers Grove, Ill./Downers Grove North H.S.) 8-1 at the first spot. Brookley Crews and Alyssa Halcomb closed out the point with an 8-6 triumph over Monika Danko (Northfield, Ill./New Trier H.S.) and Christina Scala (Glenview, Ill./Glenbrook South H.S.) and second doubles. Valpo's Rachel Janssen (Fort Wayne, Ind./Dwenger H.S.) and Jill Dierberg (St. Louis, Mo./Lutheran South H.S.) led their third doubles match 6-5 when play was haulted.
Stemle took the first singles point for IUPUI at the second spot with her 6-0, 7-5 victory over Janssen. Scala cut the deficit to one with her 6-0, 6-2 triumph over Valse at the sixth slot. The Crusaders dropped a pair of first set tie-breaks at third and fourth singles though, which turned out to be turning points in the match. Dierberg fell 7-6 (5), 6-1 at third singles to Cunningham, giving IUPUI (16-5) a 3-1 advantage. Crews clinched the match for the Jaguars, rallying from a set down to defeat Sonkin 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 at number one singles. Dukeman also defeated Danko 7-6 (5), 6-1 at fourth singles for the fifth point of the match. Chada led her fifth singles contest against Halcomb 6-3, 3-6, 1-0 when the match was decided.
The Crusaders, the Mid-Con regular season champions, concluded the season with a 13-6 record overall.

"His Lord said unto him, well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of the Lord." Matt. 25:21
On February 19, 2013, God called his angel Havana "McNac" Vann, whom he blessed us to enjoy for many years. Born on April 19,1929, she was the third child of thirteen to Edgar McNac Sr. and Agnes Sallis McNac. She lived in Ft. Gibson, OK, all her life where she attended Nero School.
Havana, later met and married the love of her life Floyd Vann Jr. on July 9, 1947, to this union thirteen children were born. Havana, an extraordinary mother, instilled Christian values, love, honesty, determination and education in all her children and grandchildren. She retired from Muskogee Regional Medical Center in 1990.
She was a mother of the church at Four Mile Branch Baptist Church, where she looked forward to bible study & fellowship. Outside of church, Havana enjoyed the simple pleasures in life like fishing, teaching her boys how to grill at home gatherings and at the lake, hanging out with her girls and bargain shopping, where she was more like 38 than 83. Her garden was a "must-have" she enjoyed watching things grow.
Her family waiting to greet her includes her parents, her loving husband, three sisters, two brothers and two grandchildren. Those left to carry on her legacy until we meet again are her children; Bonnie McCarrol of Dallas, TX, Floyd Vann III of Wichita Falls, TX, Joe (Joyce) Vann of Las Vegas, NV, Savannah Vann of Tulsa, OK, Agnes (John) McCann of Midwest City, OK, Merilyn Vann of Muskogee, OK, Clifford (Frankie) Vann of Muskogee, OK, Deborah Vann of Muskogee, OK, Reginald Vann of Ft.

Cambridge Condos or Hotels(10)
10 Results
Recent Cambridge Reviews
Great location for accessing Harvard. The owner provided wonderful service and was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone considering a Home Away stay in the Cambridge area.
This was the perfect spot for our family to stay in Cambridge for our daughter's graduation. The location was ideal – an easy walk to both Porter Square and Harvard Square for restaurants, shopping, transit. The condo is very spacious and comfortable, extremely clean and well appointed. The day beds in the sunroom provided exactly the flexible option we needed, since we did not know until the last minute if our son would be able to join us. Melissa is a gracious and accommodating, but also completely unobtrusive, on-site owner who was easy to communicate with about the condo details and our arrival and departure arrangements. I would definitely recommend renting this condo!
I rented this unit for a relative visiting for a few nights. She really liked the unit and felt at home. I visited her there. I found the unit to be not only very clean and functional, but also warm and charming. We ended up hanging out in town quite a bit and we made some of our meals at home. I found that the kitchen was well-equipped and I found everything I needed to fix what we wanted. The building was quiet as advertised and the residents friendly. The owner was available at the times of arrival and departure, and she was friendly and helpful with any questions. The apartment is just off Mass Ave and equally distant from Harvard and Central Squares, so everything we needed was within walking distance. A wealth of restaurants was all around, from the fancy to the diner. Small groceries stores, cafes (lots of cafes!), and bookstores, were all just steps away. Transportation was super convenient: subway stations (Harvard and Central), multiple bus lines, bikes from a city hub shared system, zipcar parking spots, and taxi parking sites were only a few minute walk away. All in all, I would say that this is a perfect spot for a stay, whether for business or leisure. Boston/Cambridge is a great city with tons to do indoors and out. I will certainly recommend this rental again.

TOWSON, Md. - The 2011-12 school year was one filled with memories and highlights for Tiger athletics. The Top 10 Moments from 2011-12 contains some individual highlights in addition to those involving the teams. Make sure to check back each Tuesday and Thursday to see what moments made it.
Babe Ruth once said, "You just can't beat the person that never gives up." On Mar. 31 in Hempstead, N.Y. the Tiger men's lacrosse team refused to be the team that gave up and was beaten.
Towson pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in program history with a 10-9 double overtime win at Hofstra to provide the No. 5 moment on the Top 10 Moments from 2011-12 countdown.
Looking to extend its three-game win streak, Towson traveled to No. 20 Hofstra that March night. The Tigers found themselves trailing 9-3 with 11:27 to play in the fourth quarter against the Pride.
Three Tiger goals in 3:09 made it a 9-6 game with 8:28 to play. The Tiger offense continued to find success as Matt Lamon pulled the visitors to within one, 9-8, with 2:03 showing on the clock.
With just two seconds remaining in regulation, Thomas DeNapoli scored his third goal of the game, which tied the contest at 9-9. DeNapoli's goal sent the game into overtime.
Neither team was able to find the back of the net in the first overtime session. In the second overtime, the Tigers were given a big opportunity as Hofstra was called for two penalties, an illegal cross-check and an unsportsmanlike conduct. That gave the Tigers a man-advantage for two minutes. After the Tigers missed their first two shots, Justin Mabus connected on an eight-yard blast from the right side with 38 seconds left in the extra session. Mabus' goal, which was assisted by Lamon, gave the Tigers a win in a game in which they trailed by six goals.
After the game, Towson coach Shawn Nadelen said, ""This team never gives up. Even though we were down by six goals, we just kept playing hard. We got some momentum and we kept winning faceoffs. The closer we got, the more excited we became."
Check back on July 2 for the No. 4 moment from the countdown.

Charlotte Nash has said that it is "too early" for a formal announcement about whether she will run for re-election as chairman of the . However, she already is accepting campaign contributions targeted for 2012.
Also, Suwanee City Council member Jace Brooks has several financial backers as he prepares to seek the District 1 seat currently held by Shirley Lasseter.
According to records with the Georgia Board of Ethics, Nash's re-election effort has contributions from Lake Lanier magnate and Suwanee resident Virgil Williams ($250 on Nov. 17, 2011) and prominent Suwanee businessman Richard Tucker ($1,000 on Nov. 17).
Also backing Nash financially is Suwanee CPA Laurie McClain ($150 on Nov. 17), who also has said she will seek the District 1 BOC seat. Gwinnett Sheriff Butch Conway contributed $101 on Nov. 17.
Contractor E.R. Snell, whose road projects include the recent , contributed $2,500 to Nash's effort on Nov. 4.
Former Georgia Department of Natural Resources chief Joe Tanner, who now heads an Atlanta government consulting firm, contributed $2,000 to Nash last June, labeled "primary 2012."
Brooks' backers include former Gwinnett BOC Chairman Wayne Hill of Suwanee; Hill contributed $250 in November.
Other Brooks supporters include:

- Gwinnett Municipal Association executive Randy Meacham ($250 on Nov. 16);
- Preston Williams, CEO of the Gwinnett Convention & Visitors Bureau ($250 on Nov 16.). Brooks is a board member of the GCVB.

Formal qualifying for BOC candidates begins in May.

For the second year in a row, Southern Indiana will host some of the best high school basketball players in the country.
The Night of the Future Stars, which is the prelude to Friday's 40th annual Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic at Freedom Hall in Louisville, will take place on Thursday at Floyd Central High School's Highlander Gymnasium. The Horseshoe Foundation of Floyd County in New Albany is sponsoring the event.
The Night of the Future Stars will include three competitions that Derby Festival Classic players will participate in. They are a slam dunk contest, a 2-on-2 skills competition and a 3-point shooting contest. The players will have an autograph session to cap off the night.
Derby Festival Classic recruiting coordinator Mike Gandolfo said past players of the Classic enjoy the Night of the Future Stars for a few reasons.
"They love it because it gives them a great opportunity to entertain and interact with the fans in events that really showcase their talent and personality," Gandolfo said.
Gandolfo said Floyd Central is the ideal place to have Night of the Future Stars.
"It meets all of our needs," Gandolfo said. "There is great seating for the fans, plenty of parking and a place where we can host the autograph session at the end of the night. I think it will be an amazing place to host the Night of the Future Stars."
Eleven recruits from the Kentuckiana region's "Big 3" universities will compete in the Night of the Future Stars and the Derby Festival Classic.
Five of those 11 players are going to play at Indiana: Warren Central forward Devin Davis, Cathedral forward Collin Hartman, Luke Fischer (Germantown, Wisc.), Stanford Robinson (Fairfax, Va.) and Troy Williams (Hampton, Va.).
Four players who are heading to national champion Louisville will compete in Akoy Agau (Omaha), Anton Gill (Raleigh, N.C.), Dillon Avare (Lexington) and David Levitch (Goshen, Ky.). The two Kentucky recruits taking part in the festivities are Derek Willis (Mt. Washington, Ky.) and Kentucky Mr. Basketball Dominique Hawkins (Richmond).
The Night of the Future Stars and Derby Festival Classic also will include this year's Indiana Mr. Basketball in Hamilton Southeastern forward Zak Irvin, who will play at national runner-up Michigan next season.
"With five IU recruits and the Indiana Mr. Basketball participating, I am hoping that Hoosier basketball fans come out strong," Gandolfo said. "I would love to see the place full because the skills competition is going to be one of the best ever."
Gandolfo says every year the Kentucky Derby Festival Classic tries to bring in not only IU, U of L and UK recruits, but some of the best high school talent in the nation.
"It is critical to have a good balance of players of local interest and strong national talent," Gandolfo said. "It is one of the things that makes our event unique — a national All-Star game with a local twist. Our fans appreciate great basketball talent, but they show up to cheer for those players that will be wearing blue, red or crimson."
Admission to the Night of the Future Stars is free if fans have a ticket to the Derby Festival Classic.
Tickets for the Classic are $11 for students and $16 for adults and can be purchased at all area TicketMaster locations, by calling 800-745-3000 or 502-367-5144 or by visiting the Freedom Hall box office.
Classic tickets also will be sold at Floyd Central on Thursday night. Gandolfo says Classic tickets have sold well at the Night of the Future Stars in the past.
"We usually have a good walk-up crowd," Gandolfo said. "I think our event provides excellent value. For either $16 or $11, you get both events for one low price."

By Bryan Fischer
Follow me on Twitter: @BryanJFischer, on Facebook at "Focal Point"
The general consensus among the political punditry from Super Tuesday, both left and right, is that Romney is a very weak frontrunner. He failed to close the deal, didn't deliver the knockout punch, eked out a win in Ohio, etc.
So even though he won six states to Rick Santorum's three, if anybody generated any momentum yesterday, it was Santorum. And everybody recognizes it.
All this despite the fact that Romney is outspending Santorum as much as 4-1. What is the explanation for Santorum's staying power?
The answer is simple, and it is found in one word: values.
Santorum is the values candidate in the field. Romney practically has to be horse-collared into talking about values, Newt is personally compromised, and Ron Paul wants to legalize prostitution and heroin.
Santorum, in contrast, has consistently, and without apology or wavering, defended and promoted the Judeo-Christian value system on which this nation was founded.
When challenged by snobbish, elitist, arrogant, know-it-all media types, he doesn't back down, he doubles down. He refuses to be intimidated in the least by the nattering nabobs of negativism and their rank religious bigotry.
And the American people love Santorum for it. His message is resonating with ordinary Americans who are ecstatic to have a public figure who fearlessly defends their values and has the character and integrity to back it up. He doesn't just talk a good game, he lives a good game.
NBC's Chuck Todd said last night that Santorum has the "silent majority" in his corner, and he's right. How else can you explain his steady climb toward the top of the pyramid? He's been outspent and out-organized, and yet there he is, running neck and neck with a candidate everyone concedes generates no enthusiasm in the Republican base.
The nervous nellies who make up ruling class Republicans are fidgety about Santorum's message. Social issues have a huge ick factor for them. Social values make them squeamish. In fact, they have the same reaction that Santorum had to JFK's insistence on the absolute separation of church and state: social issues make them want to throw up.
That's why Romney's their guy. He'll make enough conservative sounding noises to placate conservatives but he's not going to embarrass anybody wearing a Brooks Brothers suit by actually getting serious about any values issues.
Republican poobahs live in nauseous and mortal fear that a genuine values candidate like Santorum might capture the nomination. They share much of the snobbery and elitism of the left in this regard. They treat social conservatives like children who may be patted on the head and humored on occasion but are to be seen and not heard.
Well, Santorum's blowing their tub right out of the water and it's freaking them out.
To which social conservatives say, go ahead and freak.

PORTLAND -- The driver involved in a fatal crash earlier this month is now in jail.
One person died and three people were taken to the hospital with traumatic injuries following the collision in North Portland on January 9.
The driver, 39-year-old Eleno Guillen, was released from the hospital Monday and charged with manslaughter, assault, reckless driving and DUII.
Emergency crews were dispatched at about 6:30 a.m. to North Argyle Way and Columbia Boulevard. Investigators said the driver of a pickup truck lost control, went down an embankment and struck a telephone pole.
One of the passengers, 39-year-old Adan Gonzalez of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Guillen of Gardner, Texas, and two others were hospitalized without life-threatening injuries.
"Investigators believe alcohol was a factor and will forward the reports to the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office for possible criminal charges," said Portland Police Sgt. Pete Simpson.
It was Portland's first traffic fatality of 2013.

One Frame At A Time: Best Of 2013
2013 may have ended on a sour note (or several), but that doesn't mean it's not worth looking back at some of the highlights of the calendar year—especially, say, a few choice moments from March and April. While I've almost certainly omitted several worthy candidates, here are my picks for the 20 best (unedited) MGoGIFs of 2013.
If you'd like to peruse all of this year's GIFs, here are links to my Flickr sets for the 2012-13 basketball season, 2013 football season, and 2013-14 basketball season. Since Flickr is pretty cumbersome, you must click on each still frame, then right-click on the still frame and hit "view original" to see the actual animation. Alternatively, you can journey through the "one frame at a time" tag on this here blog.
Since it was difficult enough just to narrow this down to a list of 20, these GIFs are presented in chronological order, and you can vote for your favorite at the end of the post.

I thought I'd pose the question now concerning this year's seniors, except there's one guy who could have gone 1st overall in the NFL draft LAST YEAR, and he's being replaced by either a member of the worst interior offensive line in Michigan memory or a guy who couldn't beat out one of those guys for playing time.
|Actually, #2 Taylor Lewan's twosie and #3 Taylor Lewan's pet pig are also out of the running. [Upchurch]
So, OTHER than that guy,
Which senior will Michigan miss most next season?
Ace: I'll leave a couple very strong candidates aside—namely, Jeremy Gallon and Thomas Gordon—and go to the other bookend of the offensive line, Michael Schofield. Michigan already needs to get much (much) better play out of the interior of the line next year, not to mention a major step up in blocking from the backs and tight ends. Losing not just one, but two NFL-quality tackles means the Wolverines once again head into a new season with major uncertainty up front.
I expect the interior line to be better, especially since some of the true freshmen who weren't viable options this season—especially Patrick Kugler and David Dawson—should at least be ready to compete for a spot on the two-deep. Losing Schofield along with Lewan, however, means that there's almost no margin for error with the new tackles; Michigan needs to find two decent starters out of Ben Braden, Erik Magnuson, and... that's about it.
I guess Dawson could play right tackle, as could Kyle Kalis, but both are more natural fits inside. Chris Fox, coming off a major knee injury that delayed his freshman progress, and Logan Tuley-Tillman, a raw-upside prospect with a heavy emphasis on raw, probably won't be ready to step in and be very effective.
Losing Lewan hurts the most, of course; that's compounded by the absence of Schofield—who really came into his own this year—leaving Michigan with, at best, four relatively unproven players competing for two open tackle spots while the interior of the line is still very much a question mark.

Hokepoints Empties the Bubble Drawer
The best reason I've been able to come up with for how this Michigan team could put up that kind of yardage against Ohio State is that Ohio State's defensive players are—man, how do I say this without being a total jackass homer rival?—more prone to mental errors than your average Big Ten starters.
|I hereby dedicate this post In memory of the too-short MGoCareer of Heiko "Bubble Screen" Yang. Who needs doctor money anyway?
Another way to say it: the best and most representative player on that unit is Ryan Shazier, who is basically Jonas Mouton with five years of good coaching. Another way to say it: they're exactly as dumb as they are talented, and that's why a group of 5-stars are just an average defense. I am a total jackass homer rival.
The second-best reason, and the best you can say without coming off like a TJHR, is that which Borges himself apparently gave in the pre-game interview with Musberger: "We emptied the drawer." In other words, they finally ran all of those counters to the things they'd been doing all year.
There will be plenty of time in the months ahead to wonder why it took this long to throw paper, especially when that gamble came up just short (and the last play was a rock that OSU allegedly* RPS'ed) of paying off. For the moment, let's look at one of the "third" things they brought out for this game and what that did for the offense.
* Ohio State's players threw out one of those heartbreaking quotes about being uber-prepared for what was coming, but the play also had Gallon about to break open.
|It's hard to argue Funchess isn't an "ideal" slot ninja, isn't it? [Upchurch]

Michigan does the bubble differently than Rich Rod—he made it an automatic check against the slot defender getting too close to his running game—but both work under the same principle: keep your grubby SAM's hands away from my interior running game!
The Borges Bubble game debuted against Michigan State as a bubble screen(!) that got a remarkable-for-that-day eight yards, followed by a fake bubble (out of the shotgun) to inside zone that got unfortunately blown up by a double-a gap blitz. It really came out in the Northwestern game: ten plays for 5.4 YPP. Of those, three were the bubble screen, four were a fake to an inside zone, and three to an iso. Once it was on film, Iowa adapted but Michigan ran the same (basically) two things they had against the Wildcats. The result was 2.4 YPP on seven tries: 2 bubbles and 5 inside zones.
They run it out of different formations, usually with two tight ends opposite the bubble twins (20/27 plays I have charted were from the Ace twins twin TE or I-form twins). They do run other stuff from these formations but twins (two receivers to one side) with Gallon on the line and Funchess in the slot is a good sign the bubble game is in play.
It's a good fit for this team since it: A) de-emphasizes interior blocking by holding the SAM outside and letting his OL play 5-on-5; B) Utilizes the surprising multi-threats of Gallon (as a blocker) and Funchess (as a slot receiver), and C) Lets them get Derrick Green running downhill.
I don't have Iowa video but I can show you how they adapted. The first time Michigan ran it they threatened blitz with the SAM:
Then had that guy back out and attack Funchess. The idea was to lure Michigan into a screen if this was a check, and then blow it all to hell. Like I said, it's on tape. Fortunately Michigan doesn't run checks; they called run:
Iowa got to play their base defense against that basic zone run, and the result was 5-ish yards. That is rock on rock: it's blockers versus the blocked until safeties arrive, however the SAM was kept away from the running game by the threat of Funchess. The thing is, up to then Michigan only had a rock and a scissors, so Iowa could spend all day in this defense, ceding 3-5 yards when Michigan ran it, and blowing up the bubble constraint.
Here's what this looked like when OSU defended it:
Same playcall as Iowa except since they knew it wasn't a check they didn't bother with fake SAM ("Star" in Buckeye terminology) blitz—just lined him up against Funchess. A screen is dead.
But watch Joey Bosa (#97 on the bottom of OSU's line) get way too upfield and try to knock down the screen pass that isn't coming, thus taking himself completely out of the play. He's matched against Lewan instead of Butt, though, so Michigan was probably going to get something out of that block anyway; you still don't want to make it so easy.
The middle linebacker (#14 Curtis Grant) compounded matters by Obi Ezeh-ing his way to the hole, which gave Kerridge enough time to arrive and pop in an advantageous position. Finally, the safety (#3 Corey "City in Pennsylvania" Brown) took a long time to read the play, backing out a few steps before setting up at the 1st down line. He might have been run through if the other safety (#4 C.J. Barnett) hadn't made his way over, got depth with a neat little athletic step, and helped stop it.
So rock on rock nets a big hole and big yards, because Ohio State's defenders are something-something box of rocks. But they're not the only talent-deficient guys on the field. Michigan's OL screwed up rock on the third bubble package play of the game:
That's inside zone. With the Star taken out by the bubble fake, everyone is blocked except the safety coming down (#3 Corey "a Jewish suburb west of Pittsburgh" Brown). And he was set up outside so if Mags and Glasgow can hold their downfield blocks this could bust huge. However Glasgow and Kalis didn't do a very good job on their exchange—or else the DT (#63 Michael Bennett) just did a great job fighting through it—and the Buckeye DT ends the play with a mouthful. Bennett was bent back when Glasgow released so my inclination here is to point at Kalis and call it ten-man football.
In the Iowa play I wish I had video of, that DE threw off Butt, and the middle linebacker, despite drawing Lewan, managed to attack quick enough to cut off escape until everyone else arrived, which didn't take long since Iowa's safeties were playing with their ears back. However Green's momentum vs the size of those guys got an extra two yards. Here his 240 lbs. are irrelevant against a wall like Bennett.

I Can Reach It This Time
12/1/2013 – Michigan 41, Ohio State 42 – 7-5, 3-5 Big Ten
Bryan Fuller
About a dozen people asked me during and after the game about how they should feel, and all I had and have is a shrug. I don't know, man. I know this is the part of the blog where I come up with The Big Feel (uh… working title) about what happened on Saturday, and I'm as jumbled as anyone else.
How are you supposed to feel after coming up one play short against an undefeated Ohio State team that was favored by three scores? How about when that makes you two of the last 13 against the Great Satan? How are you supposed to feel after watching whatever that was on offense since the Notre Dame game* turn in the second-most yards Ohio State has ceded in 123 years? After watching the mostly valiant defense turn into the Indiana outfit that necessitated the footnote in the previous sentence?
Football's ridiculous. There's that. We can all agree on that after the football gods cooked up the worst possible torture imaginable for Harvey Updyke, who is 100% at fault for the way the Iron Bowl ended. That is the only thing that actually makes sense about football, a 109-yard field goal return to beat the #1 team in the country. Football is ridiculous.
For me this is a giant ball of frustration. Sometimes you come out on the wrong end of a classic and that sucks but it's still pretty much okay because of the context of the game and the fact that you got to experience it. The 2005 Rose Bowl is the best example in Michigan's recent history. This aspired to that status, but was doomed from the start because of one question.
People will say things about rivalries and sure, I believe that after watching Michigan State play Michigan for the past half-decade. There is no amount of rivalry that bridges this gap:
IOWA, 7 BIG TEN GAMES AGAINST NOT MICHIGAN: 4.9 yards per play allowed, in a pack just about tied for second in the conference behind MSU.
IOWA VS MICHIGAN: 158 yards ceded at 2.8 per play.
NEBRASKA, 7 BIG TEN GAMES AGAINST NOT MICHIGAN: 4.8 yards per play allowed, also in the pack. (Yes. Nebraska's defense was actually kind of good in Big Ten play.)
NEBRASKA VS MICHIGAN: 175 yards ceded at 2.8 per play.
OHIO STATE, 7 BIG TEN GAMES AGAINST NOT MICHIGAN: 5.0 yards per play allowed, third member of pack**.
OHIO STATE VS MICHIGAN: 603 yards ceded at 7.4 per play.
One of these things is not like the others. It's the one that doesn't make you want to listen to Pearl Jam like you're 15 and a girl just laughed at you. If Michigan does anything like what they did in this game against Nebraska, Iowa, and Penn State, they're 10-1 and shaking their fist at Michigan State's defense as the reason this game won't result in a rematch. In that context, a battle of top ten teams that goes down to the wire inside the wire, sure, classic away aw shucks it only hurts when I think about it, it's on. Which BCS bowl are we going to?
After the nine games between Notre Dame and Ohio State, that's a bit fanciful.
When Dave Brandon's not making ludicrous comparisons to Nick Saban and throwing Mike Martin, Denard Robinson, and Martavious Odoms under the bus, he's pointing out that Michigan is just two… three… four plays away from being Super Awesome Team. Anyone with eyes can see that they are three rather improbable ones away from being 4-8. Michigan was a yard away from losing to Akron, needed Desmond Morgan's best Woodson impression to beat UConn, and executed the only successful fire-drill field goal in the history of football to get to overtime against Northwestern. Fate has been kind and cruel in equal parts this year. This is a 7-5 team that finished with a losing record in conference because it deserved to.
That sucks. Putting on the fireworks against Ohio State to end the season is better than taking a steel-toed boot for three hours, but you watch them run play action that curls Jeremy Gallon back to Gardner off of that bubble-iso look and the mind argues with itself about whether it should say "hooray" and wave a little flag or "did you not want to win the Iowa game?" and wave a pitchfork.
You wonder how much earlier this progress could have come if Michigan had settled on a few simple things to start the season instead of trying to run everything that had ever been drawn up on a napkin. Or how much time they set on fire by running that gimmicky tackle over stuff that was dead as soon as it was put on film. How is it that these pieces can be assembled to put up 41 points against ND and OSU and zero (approximately) against the rest of the schedule?
Actually winning the game comes with a big old bucket of redemption. Coming that close and coming up short… well, ask Devin Gardner.
"I threw an interception to lose the game," Gardner said, his voice low and barely audible. "There's not much else I can say."
This is a person who just completed 70% of his passes for 450 yards and in the press conference after he's like me on the benches after the game, keeping my head down and trying not to hear the Ohio State fans around me. Hurting. In his case, both physically and mentally. All I've got on the former part is a sore wrist from bowling, but man did I feel that other bit at the same time he did.
This is a moral victory. It stops a large chunk of the bleeding, likely solidifies the recruiting class, and gives Hoke more stable footing going forward. And he's going to be here. It is much better than getting your head stomped.
But the thing about moral victories is that they aren't, you know, victories.
*[Indiana just gave up nearly 500 yards passing to Danny Etling. Indiana is rookie mode, and is set aside.]
**[Wisconsin at 4.8 without a Michigan game is the fourth member; Michigan is next in a tier by itself at 5.4, but then again it didn't get to play its offense; FWIW, Penn State's defense was meh at 5.7 and Michigan got 4.7 per play.]
Brady Hoke Epic Double Point Of The Week. At one point late in the game, Gardner scrambled out of the pocket, found himself alone with a defensive back, and faked a throw to absolutely no one. This got him a first down and what looked like a sprained ankle. He managed to limp back to the huddle, whereupon I felt Michigan should just run the ball because their QB needed some time to not be dead. They threw it; Gallon was wide open on a corner route; Gardner missed it badly. Because he was dead.
When not dead, he turned in a superlative performance despite being pretty much dead. Devin Gardner is tough. Yes.
Honorable mention: Gallon and Funchess are pretty good you guys. The offensive line had a pretty good day not just by their standards but by the standards of average-ish D-I teams everywhere.
Epic Double Point Standings.
2.0: Jeremy Gallon (ND, Indiana), Devin Gardner(ND, OSU)
1.0: Desmond Morgan(UConn), Devin Funchess(Minnesota), Frank Clark(PSU), Matt Wile (Nebraska), James Ross (Northwestern)
0.5: Cam Gordon (CMU), Brennen Beyer (CMU)
Brady Hoke Epic Double Fist-Pump Of The Week. In a game that was more about holding serve than field position, Michigan somehow stripping Carlos Hyde as he GRRAAAHHHHed his way towards another first down was even more important than a turnover usually is. That got Michigan back on level terms after being down a break, as it were, and provided the frenetic finish.
Honorable mention: Gallon screen goes for 84, announces that Michigan is not going to roll over dead. De'Veon Smith rumbles for 38 yards, looking like he did as a high schooler what with dudes bouncing off of him and such. That thing with Gardner pump-faking at air. Fight!

THING NOTES: Torrent had no audio this week, so neither do the clips. Good news for people who get creeped out by the walrus lovemaking noises in the slow ones.
FORMATION NOTES: A note on nomenclature here: Indiana had a kind of weird system where they had a linebacker/safety type (6'1", 225) out over the slot.
That in itself isn't too weird against spread formations, but he still hung out over the slot when there was one in I-form twins packages and the like, and Indiana brought down a safety.
I designated IU formations with that guy in the gray area (and no safety down) "nickel" since the defensive formation thing is more about what the O is looking at than personnel packages the opponent has in and I felt their slot LB was a Hybrid Space Player, but I understand if you think IU was just in a 4-3 all game.
As for Michigan, they did not do much exotic in terms of formations. A lot of shotgun 3-wide stuff, some ace, some I-Form, etc. A couple things: I've changed Funchess to a WR in my personnel set tracking, so if you see "shotgun 3-wide" with four WRs that's because Funchess is the TE-type-substance. Also, when there are only four skill position players that's because Michigan has brought in an extra offensive lineman. Tackle over was still employed but rather rare.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Hoo boy. First: QB and RB were pretty obvious, with Green getting more run than he has in some other games in the past. FB was about split between Kerridge and Houma.
WR was a ton of Gallon and Funchess. Dileo went out early with an injury, leaving Jeremy Jackson to pick up most of the slot snaps. Chesson got in a bit but has clearly ceded a lot of PT to Funchess; Reynolds got a few snaps.
TE was mostly Butt and Williams; Williams ceded snaps to a sixth OL and also Jordan Paskorz, who got in some good blocks in the middle of the game. Funchess also lined up at TE from time to time.
And the OL. Burzynski started, tore his ACL, was replaced by Bosch. Glasgow was the C. Lewan was the LT, Magnuson the RG, Schofield the RT, except when guys were flipping all over the place. This game's version of tackle over was almost always a 6 OL with Kalis reclaiming his RG spot and Lewan flanking someone else: Schofield on the left and Magnuson on the right. Much less likely to get your QB murdered.
I noted OL changes in the notes below. Anyone not mentioned is playing their usual position. Apologies for cutesy name shortenings, but you try writing "Burzynski" and "Magnuson" for 80 plays. (Schofield defies shortening.)
[After the JUMP: nuclear samba Gallon.]
Picture Pages: Not Quite Packaged Hitch
This space has seen epic amounts of bitching about Michigan's failure to check into easy plays that would get some yards and pressure a defense to the edge, but at least once in the Indiana game they did that in a fashion that still kind of baffles me. Michigan's driving to take a 21-7 lead and finds themselves with first and ten on the IU 24.
Michigan comes out in a shotgun with three wide; Indiana goes with the same response they did all day: two deep safeties and a hybrid space LB shaded over the slot.
To everyone on Michigan's offense other than Jeremy Gallon and Devin Gardner, this is going to be an inside zone. Gallon and Gardner are going to run a pop pass hitch, because they are spooky.
So. Presnap, Gardner starts scoping out the boundary corner. A lot of teams will blitz that guy to combat spread looks; Michigan's seen it frequently and hasn't had an answer. This is one, but I'm kind of at a loss to tell you how Michigan read it. Whatever Gardner's reading here is subtle.
He's making some sort of hand motion to Gallon here.
On the snap, Gardner takes a momentary glance back at that corner. This is an instant, and the guy hasn't had the time to indicate he's coming. He's not focused on Gallon, but a glance this quick could miss something there.
Gardner fakes a handoff; line run blocks, with Lewan getting a couple yards downfield eventually.
The CB now commits to his blitz; Gardner pops up and hits the open Gallon for a few yards.
Except Gallon is good, man, and Indiana's safety gets shook, turning seven yards into 17.
Items of Interest
Pop pass FTW. For a team that seems to be allergic to quick presnap reads for its quarterback this is some advanced stuff. If the corner tips his blitz here that's a tendency I can't pick up; Michigan must have seen something in their prep, or Gardner just feels it. I looked at this a dozen times trying to figure out the exact thing that tipped Gardner and still bupkis. There was a time during my odyssey that I thought it was just a called play, but no, that hand motion Gardner makes before the snap (not the one for the snap, the little indicator to Gallon) seems like a one-to-one check.
Either way, this is a response to the corner blitzes that earlier in the year would wreck Michigan's rudimentary spread running game, which is good to see. Point Borges. It's also a short quick throw that gets an athletic guy in space, which pays off with ten extra yards.
Crouching Gallon, Hidden Yards. Man is Gallon good at this method of getting yards after the catch. He's built low to the ground and has a knack for taking a hit when he's bent low, which gets him under the defender and allows him to spin to keep his feet. The middle frame of the triptych above is the Hypothetical Gallon Statue in my mind: he's just dusted a defender and is sneaking his way for YAC.
This is not quite a packaged play. Everyone on the college football internet just thinks whatever Smart Football thinks, so a favorite topic these days are "packaged plays," which are run plays paired with a quick hot read the QB takes if a particular player (usually an OLB) crashes to the run. A lot of these end up looking like those PA spread passes up the seam. These plays feature an offense that runs a run play and a quarterback and WR who are given the option to abort.
Here Michigan aborts a run play, but it appears the call is made presnap, not post-snap. So not quite packaged. A close relative, certainly.

Never Closed
When the city of New Orleans began filling up with water shortly after Hurricane Katrina last year, bartender Marita Jaeger and her boyfriend decided to skip town. She called her boss, Johnny White's Sports Pub owner JD Landrum, to see what he'd be doing with the place. At the time, Johnny White's was something of a local landmark. It's motto was "Never Closed," and indeed, the bar had never shuttered its doors. They didn't even have locks. To her surprise, even in all of this – no power, rising water levels, and reports of looting and lawlessness, Landrum refused to close the place down. "I have to keep it open," Landum told her. "Because people need somewhere to go."
Landrum's stubbornness, along with that of bartender Marcy Ramsey -- who also weathered the storm to keep the place open -- made both of them moderately famous . Johnny White's made headlines last year as the only place to keep its doors open though the worst of the Katrina madness -- or, to be accurate, to keep its door open. When state troopers ordered Ramsey to shut the bar down, she obliged by battering the front doors. But the side door stayed open, and more than a few locals, rescue workers, and journalists knew how to find their way inside.
For all the attention it's received over the last year, Johnny White's still makes an underwhelming first impression. The bar – located on Bourbon Street in New Orleans' famous French Quarter – is no bigger than most of the city's hotel rooms, and would seat ten at most, uncomfortably. The décor is grandma's attic-meets-frat guy. The mantle behind the bar, for example, features an old-fashioned cash register framed by neon beer signs, knick-knacks and old photos, and dollar bills tacked to the wall.
Though the bar's name includes the phrase "Sports Pub," it really aspires for little more than the neighborhood dive. When I visited last September, the wall-mounted TVs flickered CNN and infomercials, not baseball (though it does fill up for Saints games). The place only takes cash, and one regular told me the only additions in ten years have been the ATM and video poker machines.
Johnny White's is also far enough up on Bourbon Street that it misses the brunt of the beads-n'-breasts crowd, which tends to hover around the strip bars and hotel balconies. In fact, when I visited, the only hints I was at the right place were the modest t-shirts for sale that read "Johnny White's – Hurricane Katrina 2005 – "Never Closed," and the tourists snapping pictures in front of the bar's sign out front. The place is authentically New Orleans – as you might guess from the motto, you can pop in for a beer at 6am . . . on a Sunday. But it's not schlocky New Orleans – they don't sell beads, suggestive t-shirts, or drinks with names like "hurricane" or "hand grenade."
Nevertheless, for all its modesty, the symbolism of Johnny White's open door grew more and more significant as much of the rest of the city shut down in the days after Katrina. Last Fall, I had a drink at the bar with Dan Rothschild, who works for the Arlington, Va.-based think tank the Mercatus Center. Rothschild was in New Orleans at the same time I was as part of his work for the think tank's Katrina Project, which is looking at how the city is rebuilding after the storm. "I talked to a reporter from the Times-Picayune about this place," Rothschild said. "He said there was a rumor floating around shortly after the hurricane hit that Johnny White's had closed. The reporter said when he heard that, he thought to himself, 'Wow. New Orleans really is gone.'"
The rumor wasn't true, of course. Not only was Johnny White's open, it had become a rallying point, gathering point, and refuge for drink and camaraderie -- not just for the French Quarter but for the entire city.
Landrum owns two other bars in town that didn't remain open, so the place stayed well-stocked with beer. They also had generators to heat food and power some lights, and soon enough, patrons started bringing in their own supplies. As word got out, the storm's victims, volunteers, and journalists recognized the bar as the one of the Quarter's go-to spots for the distribution of supplies and information. Everyone out and about eventually stopped by. National Guard troops dropped off water and MREs, the prepackaged meals prepared for the military. Relief groups left vitamins, diapers, and condoms (which one volunteer told me government workers were barred from distributing themselves).
There wasn't much looting in the French Quarter. A fill-in bartender at Johnny White's known as "Teddy Bear Tammy" for the stuffed animal shop she keeps a few blocks over says that's in part because everyone holds a certain reverence for the neighborhood. "People respect the tradition and majesty of the Quarter," she says. "It's what makes New Orleans, New Orleans. That, or they're afraid of being cursed by Marie Laveau ."
What looting there was, was for essential goods. Only the Quarter's grocery stores were hit, sometimes with sanction from local officials. "Too me, there's a difference between getting diapers, water, and food, and looting," says Ramsey. "Like after a few days, when the police opened up the Winn-Dixie. They told people to take what they needed. A lot of them brought food to the bar, and we cooked for the neighborhood. People came in and got a hot meal."
The bar never charged for beer, food, or anything else during the storm. "The Quarter's a tight-knit neighborhood," says Jaeger, who also operates a "vampire boutique" when she isn't tending bar. "JD and Marcy wouldn't have taken anyone's money. We look out for one another, here."
The idea that a bar could be such an important part of a neighborhood – important even to the identity of a city – seems lost on some lawmakers who, probably not coincidentally, happen to represent districts nowhere near New Orleans.
Take Virginia Rep. Frank Wolf. Late last year, the Republican congressman attached a provision to the federal Hurricane Katrina Relief bill that prohibited businesses that serve liquor (along with massage parlors, casinos, and – bizarrely – tanning salons) from getting any federal emergency aid or tax breaks. Wolf wrote in a letter to colleagues that these unsavory establishments are of such little value to the community, the prohibition "is not a tough call. In fact, there really shouldn't be any debate."
The measure passed. It's unlikely that Wolf knows the role places like Johnny White's played during Katrina. His motivation seems to be all-around contempt for demon rum. One liquor industry trade group recently granted the congressman its inaugural "Carrie Nation Award," an honor the group invented for the sole purpose of awarding it to Wolf.
Libertarians can of course disagree over the wisdom of relief grants and tax breaks to business that choose to locate in disaster-prone areas like New Orleans. But withholding disaster relief for establishments that serve alcohol while distributing it to just about everyone else conjures up the silly prejudices and short-sighted polices of prohibition-era organizations like the Anti-Saloon League. It also speaks to a certain ignorance of what makes New Orleans, New Orleans. Or perhaps Wolf knows the culture of the New Orleans too well, and his efforts are more aimed at shaping the city's rebuilding to his liking.
Either way, he should pay a visit to Johnny White's, and ask around about just how important this bar's availability was at a time when the city was in desperate need of some community. The bar's regulars are happy to talk about it. Hell, they'll probably even buy him a drink.

Does anyone here have outdoor speakers?
We used to have a covered deck off our living room, so we'd just listen to the music through the screen.
I bet some people get back to basics with guitars instead of recorded tunes. By the way, at the place with the covered deck, sometimes we'd hear our neighbour playing the cello, which was unique and cool.

Florida State's talented sophomore tailback rushed for a career-best ___ yards and added two touchdowns.
Florida State is one ACC game away from capturing a conference title.
Devonta Freeman has now rushed for at least 2 touchdowns in one game five times in his career.
FSU has now held Maryland to seven points or fewer 12 out of the 23 times the two teams have met.
Dustin Hopkins now 448 points for his career, which is the most in NCAA history among kickers.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- The No. 6/8 Florida State football team is headed back to the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game.
In a dominating 41-7 win at Maryland Saturday afternoon, the Seminoles captured the league's Atlantic Division title for the second time in head coach Jimbo Fisher's three-year tenure and set themselves up to end a most unusual drought.
FSU (10-1, 7-1 ACC) has won 12 league titles in its successful history but has only competed in the conference title game twice since the league adopted that format in 2005 and hasn't won it since that first year. FSU's only other appearance was in 2010 with it lost to the Hokies in Charlotte.
By dismantling the Terrapins (4-7, 2-5) at Byrd Stadium, the 'Noles will get a chance for some redemption -- and an official return to the top of the ACC mountain -- in two weeks at Bank of America Stadium.
Sophomore tailback Devonta Freeman was the offensive star for the Seminoles against a typically-stout Terps defense. Freeman finished the day with a career-best 148 yards on 16 carries with two touchdowns for his fifth multi-score game in two seasons. James Wilder, Jr. added 52 yards and a score as well.
A week after being held to minus-15 yards on the ground against Virginia Tech last week, the 'Noles exploded for 237 rushing yards against the Maryland.
"We just wanted to be better," Freeman said. "It was a nasty taste and we had to do what we had to do to get out of that situation."
For as good as Freeman was, though, kicker Dustin Hopkins did his best to steal the show. When his second-quarter 26-yard field goal sailed through the uprights he officially became the NCAA's all-time leading scorer among kickers.
Hopkins finished the game with 448 career points to his credit and three games still to play to pad his lead.
"A lot of people see it as an individual award but the way I see it, it speaks a lot about about a lot of people," Hopkins said. "Coach Fisher having faith in me and recruiting well, people buying into the field goal team and really caring and not taking plays off, Dax [Dellenbach] snapping the ball well and [Chris] Rev[ell] helping me a lot with holding and taking pride in what he is doing."
Playing in his final conference road game, redshirt senior quarterback EJ Manuel threw for 144 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for a ball-controlling 'Noles team that had possession for 34:31 compared to Maryland's 25:29. Manuel was replaced by backup Clint Trickett with 11:16 left in the game.
Rashad Greene caught four of Manuel's passes for 50 yards and a touchdown and Nick O'Leary added three grabs and a touchdown reception of his own as the Seminoles gained a combined 397 yards of offense
Defensively, FSU held Maryland's injury-depleted offense to just 170 yards. Linebacker-turned-quarterback Shawn Petty was able to throw for two touchdowns but was just 8-of-19 for 136 yards. Kevin Dorsey had the two scoring catches and 75 yards.
The Terrapins were just 4-of-13 on third-down conversion attempts and had two turnovers. FSU was a perfect 4-for-4 in redzone opportunities.
Timmy Jernigan led all FSU players with six tackles while Vince Williams and Cornellius Carradine had five tackles apiece. Carradine and Bjoern Werner both had 1 1/2 sacks against the run-first Maryland offense.
FSU quickly showed the run-game was back on track against against Maryland, moments after the game-clock started. On the very first series of the game, FSU ran eight times for 48 yards, highlighted by a five-yard Freeman run into the enzone.
After Chad Abram forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff and Toshmon Stevens recovered it, Manuel quickly connected with O'Leary for a short pitch and catch and an early 14-0 lead for the visitors.
"That was good," Manuel said about FSU's quick start. "It kind of set us up for how we wanted to come out early in the game."
A few possessions later, Petty fumbled the ball and FSU made the Terps pay once again as Hopkins hit the memorable 26-yarder for the record. Hopkins then added a 40-yard field goal to give FSU a 20-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
After another Maryland punt -- the Terps' fourth of the opening half -- FSU got back on the board with a 30-yard lobbed throw from Manuel to Greene. FSU would take resulting 27-0 score into halftime after an opening two quarters that saw Maryland register just 27 total yards.
But the Seminoles' shut-out bid wouldn't last much longer.
Maryland trippled its first-half output with an 81-yard drive to start the third quarter that was capped off by a Petty throw to Dorsey for a 12-yard score. The play occurred on a fourth-and-two for the Terrapins.
After a quick three-and-out and then one from Maryland, Freeman's 46-yard dash towards the goal line would spark what would turn out to be the 'Noles own 81-yard scoring drive moments later. Freeman's long run before being tripped at the last second got FSU 79 yards and his two-yard plunge into the endzone got the last few and a 34-7 FSU lead late in the third quarter.
Late in the third quarter and with the entire second-team offensive line in, Wilder, Jr. then put an exclamation point on FSU's triumph with a 22-yard run. Maryland later added a deep touchdown toss with 25 seconds left.
Of course, a chance at the ACC title will have to wait as attention turns squarely to rival Florida. The 'Noles and Gators -- a clash of 10-1 teams -- will kick off at 3:30 p.m. nationally on ABC at Doak Campbell Stadium next week.
"[Winning the Atlantic Division] is a great accomplishment but we are looking forward to next weekend," Manuel said.

Perimeter businesses are putting their support behind major improvements at the I-285 and Ga. 400 junction, an intersection that studies show is one of the most congested in the nation.
Perimeter Community Improvement Districts said the $450 million project is key to ensuring the health of the Perimeter area, one of the largest office markets in metro Atlanta.
"The passage of the I-285 and Georgia 400 resolution represents substantial business support from the Central Perimeter business community," said Yvonne Williams, president and CEO of the PCIDs. "Our boards include the owners of the highest valued commercial property in the PCIDs, which form the heart of the Central Perimeter Market."
The Perimeter office market draws more than 120,000 employees who commute to work daily. More than 200,000 vehicles headed to Perimeter pass through the problem juncture on a daily basis, according to PCIDs officials.
The local improvement district said it will meet with "regional" and "public/private" partners to secure funding for the local project, which was in line to receive millions from TSPLOST. TSPLOST was overwhelmingly shot down by coters across the state this summer.
"We are now meeting with our regional partners to secure formal support for the I-285 and Georgia 400 Interchange and to create innovative financial involvement to move this estimated $450 million project forward," Williams said.
The PCIDs was integral in reaping funding to redesign the interchange at I-285 and Ashford Dunwoody Road into the state's first "diverging diamond interchange."
The intersection, still under construction, allows vehicles to access the interstate without having to turn across traffic.
The PCIDs have been involved with the Hammond Road Half-Diamond Interchange, the Perimeter Center Parkway Bridge across I-285 and the Abernathy Road improvements at Ga. 400.
The Texas Transportation Institute calls the northern part of I-285 beltway as one of the worst in the nation.

It's certainly no big secret that you can stuff all sorts of interesting social commentary into a zombie story. From George Romero's 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead to the current TV series The Walking Dead, writers have been finding new and frequently clever ways to use the "zombie apocalypse" as a simple-yet-powerful analogy about the flaws, foibles, and shortcomings of normal humanity.
Borrowing a thematic page from films like Children of Men and Blindness (both superior films, but the comparison seems apt), The Returned focuses on the early stages of a "fantastic" yet disturbingly realistic apocalypse -- and it focuses a lot more on the personal stakes of a crumbling world than it does in slam-bang zombie-stompin' horror mayhem. The Returned, for lack of a better phrase, is a "horror drama," and if that sounds like a warning, well, it's not. This is a smart, intense, and frequently tragic horror story.
Kate (Emily Hampshire) and Alex (Kris Holden-Ried) are a great couple: he's a musician, she's a doctor; they're crazy in love. Except for one small problem: Alex is actually one of "the returned," which means he used to be a full-bore zombie -- but he's been cured! Yes, brace yourselves, horror fans, because the admirably sober and sci-fi-friendly premise of The Returned posits that humanity has discovered a cure for zombie-dom. Unfortunately the cure can only be extracted from actual zombies -- and once you eradicate all the zombies, well, your medicine is gone, too. And that's when things get really ugly for "the returned."
Take it as a "disease analogy" like Cronenberg's version of The Fly or take it as a simple-yet-pointed piece of self-reflective social commentary like the aforementioned Blindness (a rather underrated movie, by the way), or as a combination of the two mixed with some impressive horror threads and a tight narrative energy that leads to a legitimately intense finale... but there's simply a lot to like about The Returned.
The two leads are excellent, in particular, but there's also a moody and somber tone that serves the material very well. Subplots come together smoothly while a few surprises pop up, and there's a welcome sense of simple humanity to the film. Chases, escapes,and gruesome zombie gore are great stuff, but kudos to director Manuel Carballo and writer Hatem Khraiche for illustrating why we'd even struggle to stay alive in the first place.
