      ANN ARBOR, Mich.  - When Michigan coach Brady Hoke was hired
in January, one of his first orders was to install countdown clocks
inside Schembechler Hall.
      The clocks include digital readouts that serve as a daily
reminder of the time remaining before the Wolverines face Big Ten
foes Ohio State and Michigan State.
      But just because Michigan's annual nonconference game with Notre
Dame isn't represented with a permanent timepiece doesn't take away
from the significance of a rivalry that dates to 1887.
      "This is important as anything," Hoke said Monday.
      The Wolverines and the Fighting Irish will play in the first
night game at Michigan Stadium.
