The Michigan vs. Notre Dame football game may not have started until the sun went down, but the parties started soon after it came up. Along State Street, Hill Street and other areas on and around campus and Michigan Stadium, there were parties aplenty.

Can you please correct the name of the Fraternity the car was being destroyed at? It is not Sigma Kappa (which is actually a Sorority) it is Kappa Sigma. You even took a picture of the name!

The car bashing took place at Kappa Sigma, not Sigma Kappa. Those are two very different places.
