I tweeted the thing about "The Double" (beating Michigan in both football and basketball this year) and then I headed out. My return train left from Ann Arbor at 7:00 pm EST and the game was finished at exactly 5:52 so I had an hour and eight minutes to get to the train station.

I initially called an Uber, but it was 18 minutes until the driver would arrive. And all the roads leading away from Crisler were still packed. I would have probably been OK, but it was 6:04 at this point, and the train station was 1.8 miles away, so the only way to really guarantee I'd make the train would be to walk.
