I literally just shit a lucky charm!

I was sitting in my friends dorm room and I ripped my shirt off and start sprinting down the hall. Amazing, gutsy performance by everyone involved. One of the greatest games I've ever seen. The atmosphere of the game was perfect. Just a sea of maize and our fans refusing to leave, our players jumping in the crowd, just everything. And how can you possibly not love denard after that interview? He's just too damn likable.
September 11th, 2011 at 2:35 AM ^
You're a girl.

"It's devastating," Irish receiver Michael Floyd said. "It's hard to take this one in. It's distressing."
September 11th, 2011 at 11:02 AM ^
The tastiest of all!
September 11th, 2011 at 11:53 AM ^
Michael Floyd is a beast. He stomped all over us (again).
And yet . . . our scrappy team beat him 3 years in a row!
September 11th, 2011 at 1:55 PM ^
3 years of seeing you on the opposite side was enough.
September 11th, 2011 at 2:03 AM ^
Regardless of how we played.We won.Its great to be a michigan wolverine.
September 11th, 2011 at 2:04 AM ^
I still don't believe it and I saw it with my own eyes.
I wish they had turned out the lights after the game so we could see Denard's smile illuminate the entire Big house.
September 11th, 2011 at 2:10 AM ^
Tonight was also the most fun i have had at he big house.

Dear constant stream of people in Michigan gear making their way up the stadium steps with 30 seconds left and Michigan getting the ball back with two timeouts?
You're morons. Seriously.
September 11th, 2011 at 2:36 AM ^
They probably made it out of the Stadium just in time to hear it explode from their car.
September 11th, 2011 at 2:55 AM ^
Those who stay...

I might need next weeks game vs. EMU to be over by halftime just to have some more time to recover from today but wow what a game
September 11th, 2011 at 11:56 AM ^
This will be the mother of all post-epic win hangovers.
Thankfully next weeks game is against Eastern. It's like asprin.

You can never have too much muppets!
Rest now until next week.
Watching Michigan football can be strenuous!
September 11th, 2011 at 2:49 AM ^
Sobbing with tears of happiness naked on my recliner in the mountains of NC, my cell hasn't stopped buzzing since the last play. Great day to be a Wolverine. HAIL! CUE THE MUPPETS.
September 11th, 2011 at 10:12 AM ^
Yeah, TMI...
September 11th, 2011 at 2:55 AM ^
Having Denard on your team means your never out of it. This was a crappy game for him overall but seriously he deserves the Heisman. Both the preceding statements are true I defy anyone to argue them.
September 11th, 2011 at 12:18 PM ^
The most amazing thing is that everything that could go wrong went wrong: Floyd was unstoppable, we could not get to Rees who was picking us apart, they were gashing us with interior runs, our kickoffs ended with them at the 40 while our own field position started inside the 20, we could not run the ball, Denard was consistently off target on passes, our recievers were dropping balls, and our crowd was taken out of the game almost immediately.
They had their heels on our throats for 3 quarters, but there was no lightning storm on the horizon to call off the fourth quarter and save them. A couple of ND miscues and Denard created his own lightning storm.
September 11th, 2011 at 2:57 AM ^
I've got tickets to away games vs. Northwestern and Iowa, and tix to the B10 championship game, but I will always regret not ponying up for tickets to this game. Hail.

My elementary school daughter came downstairs to watch the second half with me while everyone else went upstairs to bed. She would ask, "is that good daddy?" and I would say "yes". She would ask, "is that bad daddy?" and I would say "yes". After V Smith took that brilliantly called screen to the house, we both jumped around and yelled at the top of our lungs. We woke the others up. Then ND went down the field and scored again. She didn't have to ask "is that bad?" She knew. I said we still have 30 seconds and Denard. Everyone knows Denard. After the long pass play to Gallon, my wife came downstairs as my daughter and I went crazy. When they took one shot in the endzone, she asked "is that bad daddy?"...and I rambled something until the play started...then Roundtree caught the winning TD. I looked at my daughter and said, "now do you see why I love this game, this team?" She smiled knowingly. She gets it now. She loved the band, she loved the rawk music, she loved the maize pom-poms, she loved Denard's smile, and she loved "The Michigan Experience" even if it was hundreds of miles away.
September 11th, 2011 at 3:12 AM ^
Now she's an addict! It just takes one time.... when will parents learn!?
September 11th, 2011 at 11:30 AM ^
It only takes a couple times and it's why I'm driving my kids from the bowels of North Carolina to the Big House next weekend for the Eastern game.
September 11th, 2011 at 9:23 AM ^
I just had a tear run down my face. Go Blue!!
September 11th, 2011 at 12:38 PM ^
Awesome. Years from now when people ask her why she is a Michigan fan, she will tell them a story that starts with "My dad let me stay up to watch this game against Notre Dame with him. . ."
September 11th, 2011 at 1:28 PM ^
If I can pile on here, we were sitting pretty low (row 9) and my 12-year-old, who is small for his age, was having a tough time seeing the pre-game. He kept climbing up onto the bench and sometimes stumbled as he moved out of people's way. I worried he was bugging the people around us, including the old man next to him, who looked a little dour.
<br>
<br>Then one time my son reeled a little bit and that guy put his hand out to steady him and said, "that's all right son, stay up there. You'll remember this a long time."
<br>
<br>God was he prescient. And I thank him, this guy who must have graduated 40+ years ago, for caring so damn much about a young fan's experience.
<br>
<br>As it happened, at the half we swapped seats with family in another section to fix the sightline problem, so we didn't finish the game next to that guy. I kinda wish my son had been there to high five him at the end, though.
September 11th, 2011 at 2:00 PM ^
Did he look anything like this?
September 11th, 2011 at 3:04 AM ^
3am and still going blue!!!!!!!!
September 11th, 2011 at 3:34 AM ^
I am not going to lie, I have no idea what just happened tonight...spent 2 and a half hours talking abt it on the ride home and still had to watch ESPN before I head off to bed. Truly an epic game...
September 11th, 2011 at 3:59 AM ^
my God. You can watch football a long time and never see something like that. Being there was simply an amazing experience that I will never forget.
September 11th, 2011 at 4:42 AM ^
I was there, didn't leave, and nearly exploded my head after the Roundtree TD. I have to say, the whole experience was ... Hard to describe. I urge others to go to the next night game- the stadium looked so cool all lit up, all of the maize poms going, the lights in the luxury boxes' interiors all looking cool and, Uhh, luxurious, the crowd going ape during 4th q... Man. I am pretty sure my life peaked around 11:37 pm EDT on 9/10/11. It was just truly amazing. We stayed after for about 45 min (as did seemingly about half the fans and most of the student section) just to soak it in... One of those nights you never want to end. Truly amazing. And then Denard came back out and did a sort of half victory lap on his way to the press conference... Man. That was just... I don't know if it gets much better. What. A. Game. And what. An. Experience. Okay, rambling; time to sleep. It is truly great to be a Michigan Wolverine.
September 11th, 2011 at 4:44 AM ^
Also: when we were on D in 4th Q, it was the loudest sustained crowd noise I think I've ever heard in Big House.
September 11th, 2011 at 8:45 AM ^
There were still 113,000 of the 114,000+ still there a half hour after it was over. No one wanted to leave!!!!
September 11th, 2011 at 11:01 AM ^
Well, maybe only in spirit. But if they had let us stay there through the kickoff for Eastern, I would have.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:08 AM ^
20 min after the game I was still clapping and grinning like an idiot. At one point I wondered if there was a post game show because no one was leaving.
<br>After suffering for 3 quarters Denard and the boys came through. If they didn't deserve to win because of how they played, they deserved it because they never gave up and because they believed.
<br>
<br>What an experience it must have been for Desmond. It was nice to see mr Woodson they showing off his new ring.
<br>
<br>Go Blue!
September 11th, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
Yes. Exactly. I have had tickets for over 20 years and I have seen nothing quite like it.
September 11th, 2011 at 6:45 AM ^
Hail Hail to the Muppets! I don't know about anyone else but I might go grey quicker with all these comebacks! What an entertaining game. To watch the boys fight hard and comeback, down 24-7. Scoring 28 pts in the 4th quarter against a supposedly great defense, was AMAIZING to watch. Epic. You can make a hype video just on this game alone! Side note, Pop Evil is starting to grow on me. I hear it on the WRIF now. Great job Michigan. Go BLUE!
September 11th, 2011 at 7:58 AM ^
I watched from Colorado. The Big House was absolutely unbelievable on ESPN. The crowd waving maize pom poms looked like "amber waves of grain". The announcers Herbstreit and Musberger were even excited. You could tell that the old "quiet stadium" is a thing of the past.How good is this for recruiting????
September 11th, 2011 at 12:06 PM ^
ESPN showed some field level-shots looking up at the student section late in the fourth quarter, chanting to Seven Nation Army and shaking the maize pom-poms in a unified heartbeat pulse.
it was chilling. As good as anything I've seen from LSU or PSU. This was our moment.
September 11th, 2011 at 8:04 AM ^
Thought the game slipped away when Rees found Riddick wide open with 30 seconds left. What a game.
And, I have never heard a louder Big House. You guys were amazing. My TV felt that atmosphere.
September 11th, 2011 at 10:09 AM ^
What the muppets indeed. That was crazy.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:28 AM ^
AT FIRST I WAS LIKE "OH NOES":
...BUT THEN I WAS LIKE "ZOOP!"
