Love Is Love: Passion and Art Make for Potent ' A Man of No Importance' by R-S Theatrics

Love Is Love: Passion and Art Make for Potent ‘ A Man of No Importance’ by R-S Theatrics

By Lynn Venhaus Managing Editor Passion drives the characters and the R-S Theatrics production of a miraculous little musical that has something to say. The title “A Man of No Importance” is a misnomer, for Alfie Byrne is a remarkable human being whose significance is mirrored in the faces of his fellow Dubliners. In a blockbuster musical theater climate that regularly serves feel-good fluff…

Kordell Stewart, App State and more: Michigan’s most heartbreaking football losses

The “Miracle at Michigan” is just one example.  

Michigan football has endured so many last-minute losses over the years, and they are the kind that are replayed on a loop for years. No college football fanbase has that many heartbreaking losses of that magnitude.   

ESPN will replay that game Thursday at 7 p.m. ET. It’s a chance to relive Kordell Stewart’s legendary Hail Mary in 1994. It’s a game Wolverines fans might want to avoid. New York Times bestselling author John U. Bacon — who has written several books about the program — put it best last summer.  

“For a program that seeks to be boringly conservative, doing things the right way and some ways staying in the limelight, it’s amazing how much drama attaches to Michigan,” Bacon told Sporting News. “Some of it is just dumb luck. Kordell Stewart, Appalachian State and a host of other games you can think of are just immensely painful losses.”  

MORE: Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh marches in Ann Arbor protest

Many of those happened in the final minute or overtime, and they are still just as painful to watch. Sporting News ranked 12 heartbreaking Michigan losses, and we didn’t include the 2006 Ohio State-Michigan showdown when Shawn Crable was called for a late hit on Troy Smith with 6:49 remaining in the fourth quarter. That one sticks, too.  

These dozen losses went down to the wire, and they still hurt in Ann Arbor. Did we get it right?  

12. A-Train fumbles  

Final score: No. 21 Northwestern 54, No. 12 Michigan 51  

When: Nov. 4, 2000 

What happened: The Wolverines had a 51-46 lead in the finale minute at No. 21 Northwestern, and Anthony Thomas appeared to break away for the game-clinching first down. Thomas lost control of the ball, however, and the Wildcats recovered. Zak Kustok’s TD pass to Sam Simmons with 20 seconds left gave Northwestern a thrilling victory. That loss cost the Wolverines the outright Big Ten championship.  

11. Johnny Johnson  

Final score: Illinois 24, No. 13 Michigan 21  

When: Oct. 23, 1993 

What happened: Michigan led Illinois 17-7 in the fourth quarter in what appeared to be another run-of-the-mill Big Ten victory, but Johnny Johnson sparked the Illini to a fourth-quarter comeback with two touchdown drives. Johnson hit Jim Klein for the game-winning TD with 34 seconds remaining for the upset.  

10. Oliver’s 51-yard boot  

Final score: No. 8 Notre Dame 29, No. 14 Michigan 27

When: Sept. 20, 1980

What happened: Michigan had a 27-26 lead with 41 seconds remaining, but Notre Dame freshman quarterback Blair Kiel led a desperation drive, and Harry Oliver kicked a last-second field goal to give the Irish a 29-27 victory in South Bend.  

9. Holy Toledo 

Final score: Toledo 13, Michigan 10   

When: Oct. 11, 2008 

What happened: Michigan had a 24-0 record against MAC opponents until a shocking 13-10 loss to Toledo in Rich Rodriguez’s first season. K.C. Lopata missed a potential game-tying field goal with four seconds left for a shocking loss at the Big House.  

8. Howard tripped  

Final score: Michigan State 28, No. 1 Michigan 27  

When: Oct. 13, 1990  

What happened: Michigan opted to go for two after a TD pass with six seconds left, and Elvis Grbac looked for Desmond Howard on a slant. Michigan State defender Eddie Brown grabbed Howard, who dropped the ball in the end zone. The loss cost the Wolverines an outright Big Ten championship in Gary Moeller’s first season.  

7. Spartan Bob  

When: Nov. 3, 2001 

Final score: Michigan State 26, No. 6 Michigan 24  

What happened: Michigan State’s Jeff Smoker scrambled toward the end zone and was stopped at the one-yard line in the final seconds. Smoker managed to spike the ball with one second remaining, but Wolverines’ fans will always wonder why that last second took so long. Michigan State scorekeeper Bob Stehlin earned his nickname, however, when Smoker threw the game-winning TD pass to T.J. Duckett on the final play.  

6. Tiebreaker  

Final score: No. 1 Ohio State 10, No. 4 Michigan 10  

When: Nov. 24, 1973  

What happened: This wasn’t a loss, but it still feels like one given the circumstances. Michigan kicker Mike Lantry had two chances to give the Wolverines the lead in the final 1:06 against the Buckeyes. Lantry missed from 54 and 52 yards, however, and Michigan had to settle for a tie. That was made worse when the Big Ten voted to send Ohio State to the Rose Bowl over the Wolverines — an argument that still resonates between both fanbases today.  

5. Game of the Century  

Final score: No. 1 Iowa 12, No. 2 Michigan 10  

When: Oct. 19, 1985

What happened: The Wolverines and Hawkeyes clashed in the Game of the Century, and Jim Harbaugh led the Wolverines on a field-goal drive for a 10-9 lead in the fourth quarter, but Chuck Long responded with the game-winning drive. Rob Houghtlin kicked his fourth field goal of the day at the last second for a 12-10 victory at Kinnick Stadium.  

4. The Spot  

Final score: No. 2 Ohio State 30, No. 3 Michigan 27, 2 OT 

When: Nov. 26, 2016 

What happened: The Wolverines and Buckeyes played a double-overtime classic in The Shoe, and Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett took a fourth-and-1 keeper to the left. Was Barrett short? Michigan fans will always believe that, but the ruling was upheld and Curtis Samuel scored the game-winning TD on the next play. This was Harbaugh’s best chance to beat the Buckeyes as a coach in the past five years.   

3. Miracle at Michigan  

Final score: No. 7 Colorado 27, No. 4 Michigan 26 

When: Sept. 24, 1994 

What happened: Colorado had time for one more play, and that’s when Kordell Stewart launched a pass that traveled more than 70 yards in the air. The ball was tipped into Michael Westbrook’s arms for a game-winning TD and one of the greatest Hail Mary passes of all time in front of a stunned Michigan Stadium.   

2. Punt Fumble 

Final score: No. 7 Michigan State 27, No. 12 Michigan 23 

When: Oct. 17, 2015 

What happened: The Wolverines appeared to have a victory over the in-state rival Spartans left with 10 seconds left in the game. Michigan punter Blake O’Neill bobbled a punt snap, however, and Jalen Watts-Jackson scooped up the football and raced into the end-zone for a walk-off touchdown that remains one of the wildest endings in college football history. What could possibly top that?  

1. App State 

Final score: Sept. 1, 2007  

When: Appalachian State 34, No. 5 Michigan 32 

What happened: The Mountaineers pulled off the biggest upset ever by a FCS team by coming into the Big House and taking out the Wolverines. Julian Rauch kicked the go-ahead field goal with 26 seconds remaining, but Michigan still had a chance to win when Chad Henne connected with Mario Manningham for a 46-yard gain. Appalachian State’s Corey Lynch blocked Jason Gingell’s 37-yard field goal attempt on the next play. That ended what Michigan’s fans now simply refer to as “The Horror.”

A landmark $11.75 million gift to the Cincinnati Art Museum to establish the Alice Bimel Endowment for Asian Art was announced at the museum’s 137th Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Cincinnati Museum Association on May 15, 2017. The largest single monetary gift in the museum’s history, the endowment will enhance collections in the arts of South Asia, Greater Iran and Afghanistan.

Newly appointed Curator of South Asian Art, Islamic Art and Antiquities, Dr. Ainsley Cameron, adds, “The opportunity to build an ambitious collection in a public museum today is rare. Alice and Carl Bimel have made that possible for Cincinnati. With this endowment, we can create an exceptional collection, one that represents the vibrancy and vitality prevalent in the arts of the region, from both the historic period and the contemporary.”

Showcased in the theatre’s corner windows, the work was a shining beacon visible from the BLINK-activated Washington Park across the street.
