*NEVER* underestimate the power of 27 seconds.

Hail to the victors valiant!  I love a good underdog-gets-the-victory-coming-from-behind story.  Today my alma mater pulled it out in a most spectacular fashion.  The Wolverines were down until the final *27 seconds* of the game, when Denard Robinson produced exactly the right amount of magic.  NEVER underestimate the power of 27 seconds. Victory is ours!  


This game was made even more special because it was the very first time the valiant ones took to the field at the Big House after sundown. Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium in the United States, and the third largest in the world, seating 109,901 happy fans several Saturdays every autumn.  Until this evening's game, M-fans always had to watch the games during the day because there were no lights.  Tickets were exorbitant, upwards of $400 each for non-season ticket holders.  Worth it though, the roar of the crowd as the scoreboard read 35 - 31 is just as wonderful whatever the position of the sun.  Now, we're just waiting for the same 27 seconds of magic during the O-how-I-hate (some spell that Ohio) State game.
