  • The Immovable Object Texas’ 1983 Defense
    The Immovable Object Texas’ 1983 Defense by Adam Jones wenty-five years ago, the 1983 Longhorns played defense like no one had ever Tseen before . and maybe since. Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn, Alabama, September 17, 1983 Randy Campbell was leading a charmed life. The quarterback for the fifth-ranked Auburn Tigers trotted onto Jordan-Hare’s sacred turf in front of over 70,000 scream- ing sons and daughters of the South, all hell-bent on exhorting their Tigers to victory. Campbell obliged them, quickly firing a 23-yard completion to put the Texas defense on its heels. Little did he know that he and his offensive teammates had—on the second play from scrimmage—recorded their lone highlight of the next two hours . David McWilliams liked what he saw. Truth be told, there wasn’t much McWil- liams hadn’t seen in his career. The Longhorn defensive coordinator was a pure foot- ball man, dating from his days as an undersized center on Darrell Royal’s 1963 national championship squad. He knew every small town in Texas, every coach, every player, every way anyone had ever devised to stop an opposing offense. In the summer of 1983, McWilliams knew he had something special on defense. Texas returned nine starters, eight of them seniors who bred a contagious work ethic. Guys who always “handled their business,” McWilliams liked to say. The coach knew from long experience that it doesn’t much matter how smart the coach is; what matters is how much the players on the field can adjust to the events that unfold around them.

  • HMC Hosting a Call To
    The Holocaust Memorial Center is hosting A Call to Spy, featuring a discussion with Sarah Megan Thomas who wrote the 2019 movie screenplay, plays Virginia Hall, and produced the film; and Craig Gralley, author of Hall of Mirrors: Virginia Hall: America’s Greatest Spy of WWII. The event will take online on Mon., March 1 at 7 p.m. EDT, broadcast live as a Zoom webinar. Registration is required at www.holocaustcenter.org/spy. During the program, Thomas and Gralley will discuss World War II spies Virginia Hall, an ambitious American with a wooden leg, and Noor Inayat Khan, a Muslim pacifist, who were recruited to be part of Winston Churchill’s new spy agency, SOE, by “Spymistress” Vera Atkins, a Jewish woman who faced antisemitism in London while working for the SOE. Film synopsis: In the beginning of WWII, with Britain becoming desperate, Churchill orders his new spy agency – “SOE” – to recruit and train women as spies. Their daunting mission: conduct sabotage and build a resistance. SOE’s “Spymistress,” Vera Atkins (Stana Katic) recruits two unusual candidates: Virginia Hall (Sarah Megan Thomas), an ambitious American with a wooden leg, and Noor Inayat Khan (played by Radhika Apte), a Muslim pacifist. Together, these women help to undermine the Nazi regime in France, leaving an unmistakable legacy in their wake. Inspired by true stories, this original screenplay draws on SOE, OSS (pre-cursor to CIA), and CIA files, as well as interviews with living relatives. Community Partners for this event are the Detroit Jewish Film Festival and the Greater Farmington Film Festival.

Menke Time cannot dim the glory that is Willie Heston's; the onrushing years cannot efface the memories of the greatest halfback that America has ever produced. A decade and more has passed since the great Wolverine halfback hung up his uniform for the last time. Vet his deeds are as fresh in the minds of foot ball lovers as they were in the era when he was tearing lines to ribbons with his powerful, bull-like rushes. And the tales of Heston’s triumphs will thunder down through the vales of history to echo and re-echo for the next generation— and the next— and the next. Heston was the irresistible force—the human juggernaut. He hurled his compact, marvelous body into, the most powerful human walls that ever were produced and split them a sunder. Every team that played Michigan during the regime of Heston had orders to "Get Heston!" And none succeeded.
