LOL Michigan just sacked Evridge and forced a fumble. Crowd with a massive pop
We know this was the second biggest comeback but what was the biggest comeback? The one against Minnesota with Navarre?
Yes.
This game was the largest home comeback.
I was at my friend's house watching this game. I was 13.
At the start of the second half through the 3rd quarter, all the adults were outside drinking while I stayed and watched because I always believed there was a way.
How can I do anything else to/for the ONE TRUE BELIEVER ?
Jennie Ritter looks hot.
3 home games I've missed over the last 8 seasons. This and one other were due to the higher priority of watching my son play football (Rocket and Middle School).
I remember listening to this one on my headset while at my son's game, got back home just in time to see the last few minutes, then watched it later on the DVR. Sounded like a bad idea to have Threet run such an unfamilar offense, as I listened to mistake-after-mistake on the radio, especially all first half.
Hard to believe we only won 3 games that whole season with all the talent, though, on defense, but I know that part of the problem was the overall discord and disorder with the way the staff was built and how it "devolved" (de-evolution?) as the season disintegrated. As good as we looked most of this Wisconsin game on defense, it was only a few weeks later at Purdue that I witnessed a Michigan defense that didn't do anything right (remember, the game with the newly-installed 3-3-5 that poor Scott Shafer had no idea how to run? Now THERE'S a bad idea for you!) .
Mike Martin's pressure at the end of the game was HUGE.
was there with one of my boys too and he was only 5 at the time. thinking of a 4 hour drive we left just at the start of the 4th.
This was a great game. I was there and I remember as we were coming back that it was really the first time I can remember Michigan Stadium being defeaning while we were on defense. I remember you couldn't hear yourself think when John Thompson intercepted it and took it back.
Those 22 seconds seem so out of place compared to the other 30 million seconds of 2008. Probably a glitch in the matrix.
I'll never forget how loud the crowd was when John Thompson picked that ball off and took it to the house. It was so loud it was practically silent.
Such a great win!
I love EVERY Michigan win...but this one was so fluky to me. It wasn't "great" in my eyes, it was just a bright spot in a bad year.
We really didn't do anything other than play great defense and finally stop turning the ball over on offense.
When I think of great games, Braylonfest is a great game. The PSU game at home with Manningham. Carr's finale. @PSU in '97 was a great game. Those 3-4 ND games were all great games.
We actually played good football in those games. Calling this a great game to me is like calling the 67-65 win over Illinois a great game. I mean, it was cool and all, but we were so fucking bad on defense that there was nothing great about the total team effort.
I mean I can't even watch the first half of this game they're so bad..and it's not like Wisconsin was playing that good either. I can't call it a great game, when we looked so inept in the first half.
I can't even really think of any standout play in this game by anyone. There were obviously big plays to win the game, but it wasn't like an all-time individual performance by anyone.
