It was halftime during the 1997 U-M vs. Iowa football game, and Michigan fans were worried!
They had just watched a series of mistakes cost them points on the field, and Iowa looked like it might become the unlikely winner of the game.
But everything changed when the Wolverines came back for the second half, looking like “a team possessed and on a mission,” according to the Michigan Daily.
In a shocking upset, U-M’s defense managed to turn things around!
They blocked goal after goal, preventing everything except a single field goal after halftime, and the Wolverines drew their score level with the Hawkeyes. 🏈
Finally, with less than 3 minutes remaining, Brian Griese threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Jerame Tuman, and won U-M the game! 🏆
The Michigan Daily later described it as “three hours of mayhem.”
This weekend, U-M plays against Iowa for the 64th time!
If you’re curious about the history of U-M’s matchups against Iowa, check out the Michigan Daily Digital Archives, and our Athletics History website, for historical football details: https://bentley.umich.edu/athdept/

This Glee Club singer’s cup of hot chocolate inspired us to go digging into the archives for historical hot chocolate recipes! ☕
We found some surprising things: did you know that some early recipes for hot chocolate included egg yolks? 😯
At least one frothy confection titled “hot chocolate,” from the 1899 Ann Arbor Cookbook, might actually better resemble a custard!
Milk, water, and cream were all common additions. Although some people used powdered chocolate, a few recipes call instead for part of a “cake” of chocolate, which people would shave into their drinks.
So, if you want to make your hot cocoa a little more historical during Ann Arbor’s chilly months, try adding some chocolate shavings, and see if you like it!
Click through to see a few more historical hot chocolate recipes from the Bentley’s archives.
Stay cozy, Wolverines! ❄️

Meet Alex Votta! ✨
Alex came to the Bentley Historical Library for the first time as a U-M undergraduate in an introductory history class, looking through archived governors’ papers.
After graduating, he researched Bentley materials during an internship, and now he is a Michigan Law student pursuing a dual J.D. and history PhD! 🎓
“The Bentley helped me discover what everyday people are saying and writing, and how they understand and cope with the world around them,” Alex says.
“Archives are useful tools for learning about the past and getting students invested. This isn’t just what you read in books, but what actual people have said and produced.”
“It’s very different from reading a textbook in high school or even a secondary source in a college-level class.” 📖
We love to put primary source materials into the hands of students, like Alex, to help connect them directly to history!
This Giving Tuesday, you can support the Bentley Outreach Fund to help more students like Alex use the Bentley, and fall in love with primary sources: https://myumi.ch/qG622
Thank you for helping make Michigan history!
