Watch this! ("From 2021" reposting for OldManJim)

User OldManJim posted this as a diary but mods needed it moved to the board - much kudos to OldManJim for finding this!

"This is a video that I discovered after the 2021 OSU game.  I have no idea who did it, but it is <bleeping> brilliant, and summarizes the last three seasons very well.

Such a great compilation.

That day was such an emotional catharthis... something utterly visceral that can never be completely expressed in words.  Not only was this necessary for us after the long Dark Years of the program, but also after the darkness and pain caused by the pandemic (which afflicted our souls far more than merely the ails of our favorite college sports team).

That day will forever remain special.

You literally hit the nail on the head. I cannot express in words what this game meant to me. Watching this video still makes me tear up. All of the things you mentioned, were basically washed away with this win. This gave us our swag back, this allowed us to feel like we were on the right path. We have won bigger games since, but this game and what it meant will always be something I will cherish. Forever.

I was offered a ticket to go, but turned it down because it really was uncomfortable for me to sit on the bleacher seats, I was having severe difficulty with my left hip (since replaced with titanium), and I was worried that the weather would not be conducive to my long-term health.  So I watched from the comfort of our den, with a huge smile on my face for most of the afternoon.  Simply glorious.

As I posted in his misplaced diary some 45 minutes ago, we mods don't have the administator buttons needed to move posts (those buttons are only available at Seth's paygrade). I waited this long to delete it from the diary section in the hope that 'OldManJim' would see my comments in that thread.

Did you feel the heavy feeling in the air change with Eric All's Penn St catch and run. Ill tell you what I didnt cheer I just sat there in a moment of realization that wouldnt be fully realized until fools got hurdled. I felt something different in that play. The dark days were fucking over! Michigan was back and looking to break jaws! Damn it yall I got to work.

These videos are awesome.  Still get goose bumps watching them, especially with this kind of background music,

Don’t get me wrong, I do like the recorder!
