Best comeback I've ever seen

The only Michigan comeback that I still rank higher is the '04 Michigan State game.  

Still was an amazing game, certainly a win most (if any) expected at half tme. 

This is why i love college football!! I can want to throw up, then turn around and absolutely be glued to the televsion.

One question/comment...I wonder/how much is this going to help us with recruiting? I think it'll help the guys we have right now see what will come, but will if really open anyones eyes to what they could be a part of? 

GO BLUE!!!

I was shocked that Michigan could pull off such a victory.  A great win for the team and the coaching staff.  I stated before that this years team would not be measured in wins but the teams improvement over the course of season.  As brutal as the first half of the game was to watch, the second half of the game more than made up for it.   I heard the crowd booing as the team walked off the field at half time, and must admit I felt sorry for the team and coaches.  This is a new offense and a very young team, Michigan Fans should show allitle more  patience and class. 

Wow what a win!! Truly amazing!!

On another note, I've grown tired of the "this is a new offense/system" excuse.  It's tired. We finally stopped butting our heads against the wall and started throwing passes downfield.  That's why we won.  These dinky behind the line of scrimmage passes have killed us all year!! They are either incomplete or lose yards.  Why, then continue to do them over and over again? "This is a new offense" is not a good enough excuse to continue to do things that do not work! Plus, this new offense does actually have a vertical passing game component too!! RR has repeatedly stated that the WVU version of the offense is NOT the only way he can run it.  So don't tell me there are no plays in "this new offense" that can work.  Why does "this is a new offense" mean we have to stink?  

The ridiculous fumbling in the first half deserved boos! These guys have been playing football for years.  "This is a new offense" has nothing to do with fumbling on kickoffs and punts!

"This is a new offense" is a good enough excuse to go 6-6, not a good enough excuse to go 4-8.  There's enough talent on this team to win 6 games.  Anything less is boo worthy.  

Best come back I've ever witnessed....Chad to Super Mario in 2005, giving Penn State its only loss of the season..

The go ahead pick six turned the student section into a mosh pit. I couldn't hear what people next to me were even saying. My head is still ringing, but the crowd in the 4th quarter was just electric. Great game to be at, I feel bad for the fairweather fans that left at halftime. Actually no I don't.

I left for a hockey game at half time. God Dammit. Also, I missed the entire Braylonfest comeback because of hockey.

I mean this game was up there in terms of best michigan games.  I was in the stadium for the MSU 17 points in 5 minutes comeback and the Penn State last second comeback.  I saw on tv the Minnesota comeback featuring Navarre rumbling down the field - reminded me of threet on that keeper today.

watchingg this game tonight - both these teams can be beaten, especially now that the 2008 M team believes in itself.  wooooooo, it's great to be a Meechigan Wolverine.  I have visions of Hart taking McGuffie in a film room after the game and showing him how to get YAC.

Actually, there haven't been any vastly bigger deficits overcome than this one.  This was only two points short of the record.  The top four:

2003 Minnesota (38-35 final) - 21 points

2008 Wisconsin (27-25 final) - 19 points

(tie) 1995 Virginia (18-17) - 17 points

(tie) 2004 MSU (45-37) - 17 points 

This was the largest comeback victory in the history of Michigan Stadium.  Not bad for the 500th game!

its gotta be that penn st. game. if we hadnt won that we woulda been 6-6 on the season

The booing is classless.  If you are in the stadium, please do not boo the team.  These are college kids. 

And the recruits in the stands notice the behavior of the fans as well.

as was PSU 2005.  But damn if this wasn't sweet.

the booing was stupid.  pissed me off.

There were a bunch of guidos sitting behind me (How do these guys make it into UM anyway?) that were booing a ton at halftime, then going nuts in the second half.  I wanted to tell them they should have forfeited their right to have fun in the second half if they wanted to boo their own team, but I figured they would probably punch me in the face (As they were threatening to do to various Wisconsin fans).

There was a dad with his two kids (ages 7-9) in front of me.  He was bitching up a storm about the team.  Indicating to anyone who could hear him that either of his kids could do a better job at QB than Threet.  A wondeful display of classy behavior for his kids to witness.

Of course, he was jumping around like a fool after Threet's long run and at the end  of the game.  

I wasn't at the game booing, but I don't have a problem with it.  I know I'll be thought of as a classless jerk.  But I don't see why indicating one's displeasure with the team is a bad thing or "classless."  I know in this touchy, feely, PC world we live in now we need to make sure little johnny's self esteem is always thought of first above all else.  Heaven forbid if we were to suggest that little johnny isn't just the greatest thing in the world. 

If it is classless to boo, then wouldn't it be classy to cheer?  Where you all cheering the team when they went into the locker room?  We all know that they tried!  That's all that matters isn't it?  That's what they taught me in t-ball, anyway, and is why we didn't keep score.  Don't want to hurt little johnny's feelings!! 

I don't think being emotionally invested in the team and being disgusted with how they played the first half is classless.  And neither is venting one's emotions.  

Fine, I'm classless and was devastated when Trent fumbled, I apologize.  I should have expected the team to look worse in the first of this game then they have all year. What an idiot I am. I'll have to learn to be less emotional about these things in the future and always remember that these are just kids deserving of nothing but love and encouragement no matter what they do.  

You know there is one thing worse than booing.  It's not caring at all and that's what 90 percent of Michigan "fans" have done to the basketball team.  I'd much rather have a place full of fans booing than a place where the fans have turned their backs on the team, which is what has happend to the basektball team.  

I walked out and sat in the sun by the eagle with my wife and kids with 5 mins. left in the half, right after Trent's fumble. My wife's boss called, said he and his group were leaving and we could seat-jump into his 4 in section 44. Not accustomed to such good seats- LOL. 

 Man, all those 70 year old men in 44 are quiet and critical as hell. 

I don't think there is ever a good excuse to boo your own team.  They played poorly in the first half, but there's not a single kid on that team saying "Hey, that prick polisci was booing me when we went in at halftime, let's play harder for guys like him!"  Support your guys.  Confidence is the reason they were able to make the comeback that they did, not the fear of losing the support of the fans. 

You either support your team or you don't.  I see nothing beneficial coming from booing, and it makes our team and university look bad when you do it.  

The recruits sitting to my right were not very impressed with our booing.  Booing college kids is classless and only harms the program. 

If not for the incredible comeback, the lasting memory of that game for the recruits in attendance would likely have been the booing.  How would that help your team on signing day?
