I have to be in Ann Arbor this weekend, so I think I will stop by the press box and make sure that Don Criqui is fed and has adequate water. After all, he might still be waiting for some dort of signal and - ND homer or not - I think we should do the humane thing.

I was at the game. Sitting in front of some miserable little shit who screamed his head off every time ND did something right. His Dad evidently hadn't taught him how to be gracious winner and just ignored his son being a little dick.

It brought me some joy watching them nearly run out of the stadium after the last touchdown, the little boy crying away.

I imagine that Notre Dame CB Gary Gray must hit the bottle pretty hard every time this game airs or is mentioned. The TDs passes to Hemingway, Gallon, and Roundtree were all completed while he was covering the receiver 1-on-1 in man coverage.

OT for a moment (especially for anyone who switched away from the Tigers-Indians game)---Detroit just took the lead in the top of the 9th 4-2 on a 1-out 3-run blast by JD Martinez, scoring Torii (lead off with a BB) and Miggy (single).

Tigers are still batting, 2 down now...

4-2 final score, Nathan getting the save, this time only slightly worrisome, as he gave up a 2-out single and then got the potential tying run to instead hit an easy fly-ball final out.

Now I can switch channels to the 2011 game.

 

[edit: it appears Stephen Moya pinch-ran for Miggy after Miggy singled Hunter to 2nd----just watched the replay of the game-winning HR, a huge blast that easily cleared the right-center wall.]

And Rees just fumbled.  Even knowing what's gonna happen (and maybe because of it), watching this game is ridiculously entertaining!

Thanks for posting, or I would have missed it.

Brady going for the score here is when I decided "I'm alright with this guy as my head coach".  Announcers all calling for him to just center the ball for the field goal, but Brady's like, "Nope, This is Michigan, FerGodSakes!"

suspended in time.

In the meantime, though, a couple lasting images:

---the crew chief and the white cap he wore (the only truly "throwback" article I saw being worn that night on the field at The Big House.

---The bearded long-haired blond man who rushed out to congratulate the Michigan team in the end zone after time expired---wasn't that Steve Hutchinson?

Since I've moved away from Michigan that's one of the games I'm more than happy that I flew in to see.

Ann Arbor was alive that night, that's for sure.  

 

Unfortunately I left my phone on and the battery was dead by halftime.  I would have really liked to have a grainy cell phone victory video.
