cool - vid makes the stadium
cool - vid makes the stadium look huge. well I mean, it is huge, but this perspective really shows it.
As with everyone else this
As with everyone else this really does show the lack of hand shaking.. brutal
That shot sort of makes me
That shot sort of makes me agree with the post-game celebration change. In a tough game, NW deserves a handshake. It looks a little rude to have NW walk out and us run away. It's not the end of the world, but it'd be nice to see it changed
I agree completely
NW is a solid team, played a solid game, and deserves our respect. I bet Hoke straightens that out this week - this sort of thing isn't lost on he or Brandon.

I Agree
That was completely classless. Northwestern walks on the field, Michigan should shake hands with them. It is okay to run on the field after the Demens stop, but immediately you should shake hands. Then, when Northwestern heads to the locker room, you can run to be with the fellow students. I expected more and expect more from Michigan. I am sure Brady or Kovacs will address that.
While it may be thought I am a UVA fan, it is only a name. Go Blue!
Already posted this, but...
I completely agree. A Michigan Man always offers a hearty handshake before commencing a celebration.
To do otherwise is to fail to comport with the ethos of The Michigan Difference.
These kids need to follow the examples set by their elders
What's amazing about 2005 vs
What's amazing about 2005 vs Penn State is that with instant replay that probably never happens. Avant was out of bounds on the 17 yard catch.
2002 too
2002 Penn State might have been much different. The refs booted two consecutive calls on PSU's last drive of regulation; one catch that really wasn't, and one incompletion that really was a catch.
There was instant replay
There was instant replay then. It was introduced in 2004. What the refs determined was that Avant's toe landed inbounds first and then the heel, which would make the catch legal.
agreed
I'm sure Fitzgerald would have liked to shake hands with The Devin(s) and Roundtree.
AGREE 100%
Every game I watch all the way down to high school and beyond - shake hands with the opponent after the game then go do your celebrating. A little classless
If someone ever invented a low fat vitamin - filled vegetable that tasted like fudge covered Rice Krispies treats - I'd probably eat better
Honestly, what was your first
Honestly, what was your first reaction after Demon's hit? "Oh shit, we won the game!" Or "That was a great game, I hope everyone congratulates the other team because I don't feel like celebrating." I'm willing to bet that the first thing on your mind wasn't that you should give Northwestern it's due respect because it was a good game.
Give the kids a break. It was a huge play to end a pretty emotional game filled with it's ups and downs. It's not like this play happened with a minute left to give Michigan the ball back to run out the clock. It was the last play of OT after a hail mary pass to get them there.
Now, if Michigan did stop NW with a minute left and run down the clock then ran around the field like chickens with their heads cut off instead of shaking the NW team's hands. Then yes, that would be pretty damn disrespectful.
I understand your thinking,
but I don't agree with it. You can storm the field and celebrate with your teammates, then shake hands with the opponent and then go cheer with the fans. If you watch the tape, you see some UM players running toward the students even before their teammates reach the field. It is as if they want to be the first to get there so that they can get a seat on the wall.

I've been away from Michigan
I've been away from Michigan for too long. That final song they pump in is so awful. :/
You're fortunate in this regard
because it was played before the team ran onto the field before every game last year as well as many other times. It is well-hated and people protested enough about it that it has been mostly phased out. It has been played only at a few games this year.
unfortunately there's a big
unfortunately there's a big difference between mostly phased out and actually phased out.

i couldnt agree more I dont know why they still play that garbage...

For the record, about 10
For the record, about 10 years ago, I saw Pop Evil at Flanagan's in GR; they played some great covers and were actually a pretty good time. I was generally pretty proud that a local group was seeing some relative success, until I heard what a poor man's Nickleback they had become. Then I saw a recent picture of them and was shocked. Ick. Now that they've polluted our sacred Big House with their shlock-rock, they have become my mortal enemies.
Oh, and good Lord does seven nation army make me want to punch a baby.
great fun, music is frickin' miserable, and
Division One is right--long term. Need to have a policy. Let the students wait one more second and you'll have a new explosion when the team runs over. No big thing but need a policy.
Michigan *AT* Northwestern?

in a biazzaro world
the Wildcats are a midwestern powerhouse, and Michigan wins games with dramatic late hail mary's
I'm not used to it either.
lol
whoops. it's been an...interesting weekend :)

Anyone have crowd video of the Roundtree catch?
Good job of catching another
Good job of catching another of those moments that stay with you for a long, long time. Such an amazing high when you win.
Thank you very much for posting this.
Of course I had never suggested "no celebrations."
What I'd have liked was a handshake, a hug, with the high-quality representatives of one of the finest schools in the midwest. Like Michigan was actually used to beating Northwestern. And then a crazy-assed party in the north endzone.
Michigan won't get far, with a reputation of being a "Michigan State, 'cept with a much better winning percentage." Michigan should be qualitatively above the rest.
And yes, credit again to Jordan Kovacs who was a 100% class act at the end. He is one of two pairs of tiny maize pants seen streaking back to the Northwestern team to give a handshake. Don't know the other pair, which sort of seemd headed to another Michigan player.
Oh, scarecrow
I think I'll miss you least of all.
uh
get some well deserved rest?
New Oldsmobiles are in early this year.
