An older man in a kayak dumped in front of our riverside deck. The air temperature was around 54 - the water must have been chilly to say the least. I suggested we ask him if he wanted towels and cup of tea. But Dick went down and offered him the dry shirt off his back! The man had been wearing a sweatshirt, and he had taken it off, so Dick gave him the sweatshirt he was wearing. After the football game, when we were eating our chili, the man drove up and returned the shirt.
Then (ta-da) in the afternoon we watched football. First, Michigan State lost their game with Iowa by kind of a large margin. (38-16) But Michigan did much better against Indiana! (Whose colors are Cream and Crimson. I'm not kidding.)
This from mgoblue.com:
Two long kick returns and career-best days from Chad Henne and Braylon Edwards powered the No. 19-ranked Michigan football team to a 35-14 win at Indiana Saturday, Oct. 2, in Bloomington, Ind. Leon Hall returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown to put U-M up 14-7, and Grant Mason returned the opening kickoff of the second half 97 yards to set up Michael Hart's one-yard TD run. Henne competed 17 of 21 passes for 316 yards and three scores, and Edwards caught eight balls for 165 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
It was a very nice, relaxing, fun game. Not really a nail-biter.
