38 - 0, U of M GO BLUE
Supposedly, this was the first time that Michigan has shut out ND since 1902! Even then, they didn't do it by a hefty 38 points.
This bout really hit close to home for me. My local news station is located in the heart of South Bend ("Michiana") and they can't stop praising their team. Oh yes, I remember their super campaign about the Rise to Glory shirts. "Wake up the Echoes"... or whatever the hell their motto is.
Anywho, every time that Notre Dame wins (even against Washington State last week, 29-26 OT), they are the highlight of the night... first, middle, and last stories of the of the 30-minutes late night news.
Also, I'm quite the fan of UofM... I was even before I moved to Michigan (from California). Aaand, my family in California happens to be great fans of USC, which has a certain rivalry with the Fighting Irish.
Well, I watched the news to see if they'd even mention the game, make excuses, or what not... but they "didn't have time" to mention the game, seeing as how the governor of Indiana died.
Go Blue.
