"I think Ann Arbor's more of a college football town than college basketball... most people don't pay attention until the end-of-season tournament, where tradition states you must throw down at least $5 in a "pool" betting on the fortunes of 64 teams so that for an entire month all social discourse at work is about bizarre realms like "Gonzaga" and "Washington State." This does not occur until March. Anyway, as with fried food, the U.S. is awash in more televised sports than is necessary or healthy.
IR, I don't know if you are looking for dining recommendations, but the Earthen Jar is all vegan Indian food, and you pay by the weight of the food you order. I forget the name of the sushi place I went to, but there are several. There's also a really good Korean place outside of the campus area... Seoul Garden I think? Also great record stores and thrift shops there, you're really in the gem of the region. There was a chance I would be moving to AA a year ago and I was looking forward to it."
