Random trivia moment. La & I are watching QAF when Michael goes on his date with Tracy to the Sports Bar, and they breifly show the TV screen for 2 seconds of some guys celebrating a touchdown.

It was the 1991 Notre Dame at Michigan game, which I attended on a road trip to Ann Arbor with some friends. Michigan wide receiver Desmond Howard made one of history's most famous catches, diving in the endzone on 4th down to seal the win for Michigan. In fact, that catch won the guy the Heisman Trophy.

We were sitting in the UM faculty section and received truckloads of abuse from the resident Phd's and their spouses. They had been riding us all game, but when that touchdown was scored, the game was over. One of my most unpleasant memories.

And that was the scene - the UM euphoria of that touchdown - that they decided to show for 2 seconds 14 years later (for me) on a show that has nothing to do with college football.

I had to pause the show and voice my complaints to a phenominally uninterested viewing partner before resuming the show.
