1997 National Championship celebration at Crisler
Something I've been looking for for years. I finally tracked down a copy of it.
The 1997 National Championship celebration held at Crisler Arena that took place days after Michigan won the Rose Bowl. A parade downtown took place during the day and then they held this.
Plenty of shots taken at Nebraska and the coaches poll during this. And even Tennessee, too.
Would love to hear from those who were there.
I hope we can have another one of these soon.

Any reason why he was not there? He was no longer the AD, but was around.

That's awesome!
Nice memory and hope to relive that again soon. And thanks again to peyton manning for getting crushed in the Orange Bowl vs. Nebraska and allowing them to get half of the NC during the tom osborne farewell tour.
Rudock has beaten Florida more times than peyton manning has!
If we'd done to #8 Washington St. what #2 Nebraska did to #3 Tennessee, we wouldn't have shared the NC.
Hanging on in a game against Ryan Leaf that went down to the final seconds while Nebraska kicked Tennessee's ass up and down the field opened the doors up for Nebraska.
All Tennessee and manning had to do was show even a pulse against Nebraska and we would have not had a split vote, but they couldn't even do that.
For all those Vols fans who say that Woodson didn't deserve to win the Heisman over Manning, that Orange Bowl is the rebuttal. In the biggest game, Woodson stepped up while Manning disappeared.
and could not throw deep. Nebraska knew it and blitzed him. Tennessee never had a chance in that game.
i doubt that since someone in the coach's poll voted UM 7th and several admitted it was a parting gift to osborne, so results didn't matter. Plus i could spin this around and point out mizzou had them beat

Nobody better neg WD for this.
There are people on this blog who will neg WD even if he announced that it was his wedding day. He would get negged if he broke the news that Harbaugh would be allowed to hold satellite camps anywhere he wanted. Not likely to ever happen unless St. Nick came back to Staee as head coach, but again, thats really not likely.

I always thought it was weird that Woodson brought out his son/nephew? with a jersey on and just wore a tshirt instead...

I was there since I was in band and had a good vantage point to take pictures as the team was coming down. Here are a couple I took, including one of Woodson and the little boy.
Ugh, looks fine in preview but all stretched out in the post. Sigh.

One day we could have a "what would you give for a national championship?" thread.
Shit, I'd be over the moon with happiness for a B1G Championship. It's been far too long.
I don't know how I'd handle a national championship. In any big 3 sport. I probably wouldn't sleep for a day and a half.
basketball, & ?

I forgot a kid I went to highschool with was on that team. I never understood how he made the team as a walk on because he was just an average nobody player in highschool.

Every Michigan fan's dream . . . beat Ohio State to win the Big Ten, and then win the National Championship in the Rose Bowl.
You can die now.
