On an insanely hot day in Ann Arbor, at the big house, where fans were dropping left and right from heat exhaustion, we played Washington. And Phil Brabbs, who had missed 2 field goals earlier in the game, did this with 2 seconds left...
And he and Navarre had a reaction like this...
And Brady Hoke congratulated him like this...
And today he has a family like this...
Hail...

That was the first game my freshman year, what a way to kick off for years of football...still etched in my memory.

Same here. First game as a student, during welcome week since classes hadn't started yet, and campus was as electric as I've ever seen it I think. It was nuts. I think I had a beer that night. Or 50.

Same here - pretty sure I still have a mark from the sunburn on half of my face. Stupid freshman.
Same Here
My first game as well, and my nose and forehead were so burned that I got those nasty water blisters. Yeah, I know, I'm sorry for getting gross in here. I didn't care, I was loving it!
At that time, as a Southern California kid I never expected to get that burned at a football game in Michigan...fergodsakes.

That was my sophomore year
Fantastic game.
It was blazing hot, though. I had a solid sunburn on the right half of my face, as did everyone in the underclassman side of the student section.
Memories...
I was there as phase 2 of my little bro's bachelor party! We played the UM golf course the day before. Went to the game Sat morning and of course had the limo bus for the evening and toured metro-Detroit's finest gentlemen's clubs! Unfortunately the marriage lasted only 18 months...but it was a great game and I definately scored an A+ as the organizer!
"We ARE Michigan...COME GET SOME!!!"
Nice to see him doing well.

Easily one of the top three
Easily one of the top three games I've watched live at Michigan Stadium (Ohio State '03 and '11 are the other two). I really thought Braylon's dropped pass was incomplete--the ending was just stunning.
BTW, here's the embedded highlights

That was an
awesome game. Insanely hot. Brabbs was money when it counted. He only missed those other FGs to make it a more interesting game.
...confidence is the stain they can't wipe off...
What an incredible game
I remember going to this game with my dad while i was in high school. It was the first game I watched from a seat in the Big House.
That's a great read -
That's a great read - everyone should click that link.
my first
game as a student. ahh the memories.
'Cause I Bleed Blue...
First game of M football I ever watched on my own
and I was hooked. Haven't missed one since and got my dad to start watching them with me. Now a student at UM.
I'm a hoke hore and I'm proud of it.
Great day
...first game of my sophomore year. Great game, and even greater day--my now wife and I met up at the game and then had our first real date later that day.
to Phil and the Brabbs family.
