Upchurch

A referee makes an arbitrary approximation of the spot of the football as Kain Colter is brought to the turf. A couple of guys dressed like crossing guards then take out an extremely precise ten-yard chain. The referee, staring at the football like it's the bottom line of an eye chart, determines that the play has resulted in a first down by the smallest of possible margins. For all intents and purposes, the game is over, decided by an educated guess made at breakneck speed.

Football is the worst.

The contest continues, however, and Michigan sells out against the run for a stop. For a moment, it looks like Jeremy Gallon could provide a miracle as he briefly breaks free after fielding a line-drive punt, but he's tackled at the 38.

18 seconds remain. No timeouts remain. Little hope remains.

But then the backup quarterback hucks the football to the impossibly-skinny senior receiver, improbably left in single coverage, and this wisp of a man somehow bats the oblong projectile out of the air and controls the ricochet, an absurd feat of concentration and athleticism that brings 110,000 despondent humans screaming to their feet in elation.

Football is the best.

From that point, victory feels strangely academic given the prior proceedings. Brendan Gibbons, Keith Stone cool, splits the uprights from 26 yards out for the tying field goal. Three plays after Devin Gardner finds Roundtree again to give Michigan first-and-goal on the opening overtime possession, he fakes a give to Fitz Toussaint, breaks contain, and lopes into the end zone unimpeded. Northwestern can only get within two yards of that blasted first-down marker on their subsequent series before Kenny Demens stonewalls Tyris Jones in the hole on fourth down.

The stadium erupts, again hopelessly in love with the greatest game known to man. Michigan 38, Northwestern 31, football forever.

Fitzgerald Reaction

I think his reaction was really more as a joke. He had been upset about some previous calls according to the announcers. His reaction was "hey you finally called something fuck you" instead of "hooray you hit my QB late." That being said, he still looked like a huge tool celebrating like that.

I don't think so...

he was celebrating a win (or what he thought wad a win). Watching on tv you got a closeup of his face and it was no joke. he thought he just one a huge game at the big house that might somehow make up for his ridiculous comments at halftime during last year and ending up losing as well.

He clearly thought his team just won the game and was celebrating.

I don't think he was celebrating a win, because his team was down 28-24 at the time the play happened (with about 5 minutes to go).  The play allowed them to avoid a 3rd and 11 and set up their go-ahead TD.

o.k. So we'll split hairs....

So your stance is he can't be celebrating because he hasn't won yet and people obviously never celebrate a win until a game is over. His team was driving for what would be the go ahead TD and he gets a call that gets them out of a 3rd and long. I would bet he was pretty confident at that point he was driving for the win and was thus celebrating.

Yup PatFitz did himself no honor with that jut-jawed moronic leaping about after his QB is nailed late.
Not even an assistant coach should react like that.
That's what fans are for!
Like to think that reaction was "Instant Karma'd" by Tree's catch in a most delightful way...

Fitzgerald's reaction was odd... I can't recall a head coach acting like that unless it's a game-winning play. Assistant coaches, sure. But head coaches are usually more stoic than that.

Add in the fact that he was celebrating a late hit call on his QB... seems like his first reaction should be concern for his QB or anger at a "cheap shot" but instead he's jumping around like he just got an N64 for Christmas.

Hah, that was just a friendly jab at our leader. I'm all for Fitzgerald being mocked.

Agreed...

I passed around Ace's post to those near me - all were impressed with the piece. Well done, Ace

This is why we are fans.

This is why we are fans. We've been on both sides of games like these through the years. Today was our day.

Nicely put.  On the long

Nicely put.  On the long throw to Roundtree though the defensive back is the one who bats the ball and Roundtree has to somehow corral that thing and catch it.  IMO that's harder than even tipping it to yourself.  What a play and what a game.  I still can't believe we won.

That was very lucky

Looking at the replay, if the DB hadn't gotten a hand on it, it would have sailed over both of their heads and been incomplete. Roundtree wasn't close to getting a hand on the ball before it was tipped.

GARDNER Classy Poisy

What poise to come back after a mistake and throw down the gut.  The OT run for a touchdown was great,  Why have we been hiding this guy instead of developing his skills?
