This is everything

Embedded for easy viewing pleasure.
January 9th, 2024 at 12:48 AM ^
HAIL to all the chills!
January 9th, 2024 at 12:48 AM ^
Thanks for sharing - that is glorious!
January 9th, 2024 at 12:50 AM ^
I’m so happy for them. I can’t even imagine being a student right now
January 9th, 2024 at 12:51 AM ^
The party's on!
January 9th, 2024 at 12:51 AM ^
I was a senior living a block from South U for the basketball win in 1989. That was insane. I can’t imagine this.
January 9th, 2024 at 8:38 AM ^
We probably high-fived or hugged at some point that night. I rode the bus down from North Campus after the semi-final and championship games, the 2nd time with an open Lowenbrau hiding in my coat pocket so they'd let me on the bus. Those were just unbelievable celebrations. I can't imagine how great this one was.
January 9th, 2024 at 2:35 PM ^
Likewise, lived right down the street on Church for the basketball win and totally remember seeing people start to gather on TV and heading out the door to join them, it was unreal.
Wish I could have been there this time too!!!
January 9th, 2024 at 4:15 PM ^
I was there in 1989 too ... I heard later that I made the local TV news the next day.
January 9th, 2024 at 12:52 AM ^
Insanity!!! I fucking love it!
January 9th, 2024 at 12:54 AM ^
Wow, those lucky people will remember that forever.
January 9th, 2024 at 12:54 AM ^
Nothing burning??
The MICHIGAN difference!
January 9th, 2024 at 12:55 AM ^
There are/were several fires. One at The Rock that I saw put out by AAFD. One supposedly at Good Time Charley's.
January 9th, 2024 at 8:39 AM ^
There were no building fires, so I'm assuming those were unsuspecting couches that were lit up by covert MSU fans trying to throw more suspicion on Michigan.
January 9th, 2024 at 12:54 AM ^
that was glorious. must be so much fun to be in AA right now. good for those kids, lifetime memories.
January 9th, 2024 at 12:55 AM ^
Can’t upvote this enough. What a time to be a student.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:57 AM ^
They still have to deal with the bball program next 3 months tho.
/Too soon?
I loved my era - fab 5 and desmond-ish era ;) Ok I had to walk home in silence after that effin Colorado hail mary but in general it was good all around. Hockey was really good too.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:58 AM ^
Too soon!
January 9th, 2024 at 12:58 AM ^
Takes me back to '89!
January 9th, 2024 at 12:58 AM ^
Holy shit that was amazing. Could we really get a step above..the long drought is over.
Yes we can.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:00 AM ^
My niece is a freshman at UofM. She texted a photo of the celebration. That brought me back to 1989 and the basketball national championship.
P.S. ESPNU is showing the game again right now.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:00 AM ^
That is OUTSTANDING!!! Lovvvvve it! GO BLUE!!!
January 9th, 2024 at 1:00 AM ^
Brought tears to my eyes. This is all incredible!
January 9th, 2024 at 1:01 AM ^
THe SOng DoESNt ApPPLY ThoUGH!!
January 9th, 2024 at 1:01 AM ^
It's beautiful.
I can't even process my emotions.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:01 AM ^
I thought that was Church and South U, then I saw Good Time Charley's and KNEW it was. Nice! Spent a lot of time across the street at the Jug myself.
EDIT: I think there was a TCF bank and a China Gate thereabouts back in my day.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:16 AM ^
You need to change your name
January 9th, 2024 at 1:04 AM ^
History has been made.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:09 AM ^
Was there in 1997 as a freshman. These scenes definitely take me back. At that time I expected it. Now, I take none of it for granted. What a wonderful night. Team 144 is special, indeed. So many great stories this year. Go Blue.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:27 AM ^
One nice thing about the CFP versus the old system is that the National Championship is held when the students are back to burn down the town.
January 9th, 2024 at 2:10 AM ^
Yep. Was there for the '97 Rose Bowl, but this celebration in AA is on another level special.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:12 AM ^
Unbelievable!! I can't believe this is real
January 9th, 2024 at 1:12 AM ^
Chills but I can’t tell if they are the chills I’ve had the whole time or new ones. Thank you. Go blue
January 9th, 2024 at 1:15 AM ^
Great thing about the playoff schedule is that the students are back on campus. I was at home for the 89 Rose Bowl win, but we made up for it after the national championship in basketball. That was fun because we got to celebrate twice, once after the semifinal win (sort of a practice celebration) and again after the Finals.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:30 AM ^
I was fortunate to be at the rose bowl in 89 and in celebrated on south U with the whole school the following April. (The semifinal against Illinois was HasBash and my birthday so I’ll never forget it.) Damn, just thinking of those free throws by Rumeal still give me chills.
There was so much nonsense circling that team with Frieder but nothing like what team 144 had to deal with. I’m blown away by what they accomplished.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:19 AM ^
BEST THING EVER!
This is the National Championship payoff right here!
January 9th, 2024 at 1:50 AM ^
My daughter is a senior at U-M. She is 3-0 against Ohio State in her student-fan career, and she is going out as a senior with a national championship.
I need to send her to grad school at U-M. Any grad school.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:56 AM ^
I hope she's interested in a phd program... And then a professorship.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:59 AM ^
Hell yes you do!
January 9th, 2024 at 2:38 AM ^
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. As others have noted, what a time to be a student. I'm jealous, I attended 2006-2010, (pretty much blacked out every game of the 2008 season, literally) but I still don't think I'd trade those years for anything. I have been thinking a lot about those years tonight, the heartbreak suffered with friends and roommates, with appreciation for they made tonight so worth it.
January 9th, 2024 at 3:01 AM ^
Goddamn. I always miss these. The first one I missed was the PSU win in 1997.
Wish I was there.
Drink a few for me.
January 9th, 2024 at 3:19 AM ^
Wow. That. Is. Awesome.
January 9th, 2024 at 7:23 AM ^
Any tear gas ? I hope so. As an early 90s grad that was requisite for a real street celebration, you never forget the taste !
January 9th, 2024 at 8:01 AM ^
That was awesome to see. Total props to the person who shot that. I record my kid's violin performances but have learned that you have to sacrifice a small bit of enjoying the moment to preserve it. I have chills.
January 9th, 2024 at 8:51 AM ^
Wow. Awesome.
