Later that same year, I had the privilege of freezing to death while Beanie Wells busted a long run through a vacated second level at the gap for a back-breaking Ohio State touchdown.
I twice witnessed MSU marching into Ann Arbor and dominating in a way no one had seen since the Duffy Daugherty years.
I was present for Northwestern 2008 in the freezing rain.
I saw Tate Forcier hand Ohio State the ball 5 times in a Tresselball classic that we lost 21-10.
I watched a nailbiter senior year over UMass with a group of UMass undergrads in front of me IN THE STUDENT SECTION.
My last home game as a senior was Scott Tolzien not bothering to throw a pass in the second half while GERG tickled Kenny Demens with a stuffed beaver.
I think Bielien has changed the tied on the rivarly. Hlel poeple in Oiho are strating to beleive him. Never in a milloin years I would have thought taht. Selling mispelde Aaorn Carft jersyes is a good strat.
Putting a "totally acceptable poke at your rival" in a list with the actions of sex offenders and other unsavory characters and then saying it could be only displaced from the top of said list by someone doing spiteful things to Desmond and Herbstreit is way over the line.
You do not, I repeat, DO NOT, juxtapose a 12-year old kid fighting brain cancer with convicted sex offenders. It is the context of seeing "Kid with Brain Cancer" in the same list as some of the most dubious personalities in society, regardless of whether or not they are associated with our rivals to the south.
Congratulations to the University of Michigan Women's Volleyball team on their first ever NCAA Final Four!
Having been there during the days of Zimmerman, Hunt, and Paz, this group is something else! Taking down Stanford in 4 in NoCal is a real milestone achievement for this team and for the Rosens, who have taken this program all the way up to un-dreamed-of heights!
Good luck next week against Texas (and hopefully, Oregon/Penn State), and Go Blue!

Singing all the old Michigan Songs obviously rekindled fond memories for them, and there were very few dry eyes in the audience. I thought it was amazing that these men (who didn't look that much bigger than us, a stark reminder of how different the game was then), who had reached the apex of what Michigan football can be, were so connected also with the campus culture that a simple rendition of "I'll Ne'er Forget My College Days" would resonate with them so.
It was an honor to sing that night for you, Bob. May you always execute your heavenly fakes.

and I didn't realize it until the very end when he was talking about the Gator Bowl trip.
Michigan State had a fumble forced near the sideline, but Michigan players squirted it out of bounds as they tried to recover.

Do you count only a 14 point spread as being "within two scores" or do you go to 16?
Speaking of southpaw QBs wearing #7, I wonder how many people of my parents' generation will have flashbacks over the next few years:
