2000 Orange Bowl

Submitted by goblue16 on

I think this will cheer everyone up a little after that loss to Arizona. Since bowl games start soon i thought id upload a few bowl games. The 2000 Orange Bowl would become an all-time classic. The game would start completely in Alabamas favor but Tom Brady and the MVP David Terrell would shine in the second half hooking up three times for tds. Brady arguably played the best game of his career. The game would go to overtime where Michigan scored on the first play to make it 35-28. Alabama came back and scored a td for a 35-34 game. The game would end on a missed extra point giving Michigan the victory. Lets get out of a crummy 2013 and look forward to 2014. GO BLUE

You're cool for trying to help lift our spirits. I get it. But it's just that we've seen the highlights of that game 1000 times. It's history. We as fans have watched the videos, bought the books, and reminisced here over and over about the past. We WERE good once. Not now.



I'm just tired of reliving the good ole days. I want current success.

Whoever you are there is probably a wife, maybe kids at home who matter more than posting on this website.  Maybe you should spend some time with them and spare us all your conetrarian posts.  You seem like an intellgient person, so rationally you should:

The reality is that Lloyd Carr's NC honeymoon was short-lived, as there was a great deal of bitching starting with the opening losses against ND and Syracuse in '98. The bitching never let up for the rest of his career, and reached a crescendo with Appy St. and Oregon in '07.

If MGoBlog had been around back then, I have no doubt you'd have been one of those moaning about how mediocre Carr was.

Anybody else remember the pathetic human beings who used to run an anti-Lloyd website, and then picket the games on Saturdays on a street corner where they'd be seen by the team buses as they went by on their way to the stadium? Want to say it was ~2001-2003. 

The amount of sheer vitriol Lloyd got for going out there and winning games, championships, and the occasional bowl game never ceases to amaze.

The second quarter was brutal -- I swear there had to have been at least four penalties in a row at one point.  I was extremely hungover from the Y2K New Years Eve the night before (we raised hell the whole week down in Key West), but I managed to get it together to get our asses (about 10 of us) to Miami to watch the game.  I know that sounds pathetic, but I really did have the mother of all hangovers that day.  Thank God we won!

I think things will improve but we will be in a tough division. I hope sometime during the 3 year span of 2015 through 2018 we can at least win the B1G and get into the playoffs. Though, we may have a lot of 10-2 seasons where we come just a game short of winning our division!

I miss the days where we were picked as the favorites to win the big 10 and often we did!

This is my favorite Michigan game of all-time. I can still remember like it was yesterday,every detail surrounding the game, and being 7 years old watching with my dad when he missed that kick and when David Terrell caught the touchdown to end the half for that matter. The most influential Michigan game in my life. 

So I love any excuse to watch it.

Was lucky enough to attend this one in person down in Miami. David Terrell and Shaun Alexander were the two most dynamic players on the field that night: men amongst boys. Came down to the wire with Alabama losing on a missed extra point in OT which would've tied the game. Final score Michigan 35 Alabama 34.

Was a great game. Realized Brady was better than we thought he was in that fame...cannon arm. Alexander was a total beast. Back and forth game. Recall weirdness that stadium was not full and place was in rougher part of town.

Disney land at the turn of the century y2k was pretty awesome too. Went to treasure island and saw a fat Duran Duran play at one end and Foreigner at the other end. Bizarre.

While we are at it, it would be great if you could post the 1902 Rose Bowl.  Back when we were so great, they stopped playing football on New Years Day and switched to chariot races.

I was actually in Miami for that incredible game. I remember being vaguely concerned about the Y2K hysteria that morning (Jan 1st). Bama fans were pretty tolerable then--the ones in my section were gracious in defeat. They had Shawn Alexander that year, who was a great RB. Amazing ending.

Remember watching this game with my future father in law. He always knew I was a Michigan fan, but never experienced it until then. I remember Shaun Alexander being a beast and that game being a blast to watch. I honestly didn't remember it being won via a missed extra point.



I really miss being good.
