For two historically great programs, it is surprisingly surprising that Michigan and Florida are having the kind of success that they are this season. After spending the last few seasons in a dungeon of mediocrity, coaching changes at each school have thus far brought back the kind of winning and dominance generally associated with each program. However, most experts or random college columnist such as myself, did not see this kind of progress coming so quickly, as both teams were left out of both preseason polls, and many predicted it would take at least a couple years to return back to relevance. Yet, maybe we really should have seen the turnaround Jim Harbaugh’s Wolverines and Jim McElwain’s Gators are in the midst of this year, as there were plenty of potential signs that pointed in that direction for each program.

Where were you on October 10, 2015, the day Titus Andronicus conquered the world? Perhaps you were out with friends, or maybe in a library studying? It would be easy to have been caught up in the happenings of another Saturday night, but in a tiny stage just west of the Capitol Square, beneath the dimming lights and swinging amplifiers of The Frequency, Titus Andronicus usurped the title of “greatest band in the world.”

They’re here. They’re not for dinner. Get used to it.

A field of 7,500 knit-clad folks, a brisk autumn night and an absorbing Avett Brothers performance is an equation for an October utopia. The Avett Brothers, and their sea of fans, christened Breese Stevens Field on Friday night in the venue’s first-ever concert that sold out in 10 minutes.

The Minnesotan indie-pop band Hippo Campus released their second EP “South” Oct. 2, capturing all my spare time, so consider this a formal apology to my bosses and professors for the work I avoided.

On the near east side of Madison, Gallery Night was alive and prosperous, despite the biting breezes sliding down connoisseur’s jackets. On the extensive list of art galleries participating in the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art’s Gallery Night this past Friday night, ArtSpace Twenty-Two Eleven, on the quaint and artistic Atwood Avenue, provided an intimate art viewing experience that attracted a continual stream of excited Madisonians.

Living is hard. We do not take even one innocuous moment within our day to think how hard, but it’s hard. We make a conscious decision to live everyday, with everything we do. Just the mere act of getting up each morning is actively choosing to live. All our little actions and thoughts that follow in succession, are evidence of our will to live. But it’s never easy. Especially when life doesn’t give us so many of the answers we so badly need. Where does one find the strength to continue living then, to make the decision to open our eyes every morning?

I kid, of course: Silence is the last adjective one would use about climate policy, except with respect to such minor parameters as the actual benefits of various policy prescriptions and the actual evidence of climate impacts, about which more below.

In a style popularized by Chance The Rapper and Mac Miller, Mic Kellogg delivers an atmospheric album that channels the vocal styles of many up-and-coming rap artists while giving Milwaukee producer Charles Mammyth Forsberg a proper introduction to a larger audience. While Mic Kellogg’s name is on the cover, Mammyth deserves a heavy amount of credit for mixing this magnum opus of an ear pleaser.

Seconds after 8:00 p.m., Dweezil Zappa and his tribute to his father, Zappa Plays Zappa, strode out onto the Barrymore Theatre stage to the theme from “Star Wars.” The space-y theme was a fitting introduction to the wild world of Frank Zappa’s music.

For the second consecutive week, Corey Clement’s game day uniform consisted of a snapback, headset and T-shirt. Hampered by a groin injury that is looking more and more like a serious issue, rather than a nagging minor impairment, Clement’s absence again made offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph get creative with the game plan.

The first day of fall each year, I make sure I indulge in a pumpkin spice latte and let the season have me. No other season grabs me like fall; spring’s start is nebulous, and I somewhat scorn winter and summer. I regard autumn with new music, new attitude and my indulgent, overrated elixir of what I’ve been known to describe as liquid gold. Soon, we’ll have apple cider, Halloween costumes, nude trees.

This weekend marks the release of “Super Mario Maker,” Nintendo’s celebration of the 30th anniversary of its long-running franchise. The game is primarily a level editor, using accessible yet powerful tools so that anyone from our mothers to expert game designers could design the Mario levels of their dreams. The game pulls in ideas, characters, enemies, obstacles and platforms from four Mario side-scrolling releases, meaning those who “grew up with a different game” will likely see themselves represented in the tools.

Outside linebacker Vince Biegel became one of the Badgers’ biggest defensive stars last season, making one impact play after another each weekend. He’s well known in Madison for his big hits, but before he was crushing opponents in the backfield, he was mowing them down on the other side of the ball.

It’s not discussed too often, but musical composition is wedded to mathematics. The way certain frequencies and tones sound good together is an artistic extension of physical laws that govern our universe. We currently live in an era of human technology where a computer program can make a piano composition so genuine that humans can’t distinguish its creation from a fellow human’s. Slowly, every part of our society that we used to accredit to mysticism and luck can now be explained by modern mathematical algorithms. Perhaps not in our lifetimes, but soon enough maybe even the human brain will be seen as nothing more than a series of biological wires and programming.
