Thanks for posting that. I loved it!!! What a GREAT game!!!
October 20th, 2014 at 1:08 PM ^
i agree! good work! keep up the good work!
October 20th, 2014 at 2:12 PM ^
What a great *comeback. Definitely exciting, but one of those 2003 Minnesota/2008 Wisconsin/ 2011 Notre Dame team don't show up until the fourth quarter when they mount a HUGE comeback and escape by the skin of their teeth games. The first three quarters made you want to murder someone...
October 20th, 2014 at 12:37 PM ^
was a looong time ago.
I say we shock the world on Saturday.
October 20th, 2014 at 2:23 PM ^
Our RBs should be required to watch tapes of Mike Hart over and over. He wasn't fast, he wasn't particularly elusive, he for sure wasn't big. The guy just played huge and wanted/demanded the extra yard.
Passion...

Then I wish we had this Devoen fellow. I haven't seen any Hart-type attitude out of either Derrick or De'Veon.

After years of listening to fans apologism and Sparty nut hugging about this comment it comes to mind that Mike Hart is everything right about Michigan football.
Please, new "Ira and Nicki Harris" head football coach at the University of Michigan, hire this man.
October 20th, 2014 at 1:43 PM ^
for being so good. i feel like he would've been able to run successfully last year even with our terrible interior line play.
October 20th, 2014 at 2:32 PM ^
MIke Hart is not everything that is right about Michigan football. Go back and listen to Dantonio. I agree with him. He says ''If they want to make a mockery of it, so be it. Their time will come.''
The attitude people take towards the Michigan State game even still is just arrogant and frankly ridiculous.
We still have guys like Denard and Toussaint calling them little brother and it makes us look stupid.
October 20th, 2014 at 3:08 PM ^
Dantonio was referring to Michigan players having a "moment of silence" on the 50-yard line at Spartan Stadium after beating him in 2007, which was a response to his joke about having a moment of silence for Michigan after they lost to Appalachian State. That comment came when Mark Dantonio had just coached his first game at MSU and had yet to coach so much as a snap in that capacity against Michigan, against whom the program he'd inherited was on an 0-5 slide. Hart's comments were in reply to statements made that week by Javon Ringer and Jehuu Caulcrick.
MSU has indeed taken control of this rivalry, I'll never take that away, but the narrative that MD is getting "retribution" for Michigan's "mockery" of his program is irritating as all goddamn get-out, primarily because it's horseshit.
October 20th, 2014 at 1:06 PM ^
one thing that seems to not get mentioned much as it gets overshawoed by the whole "little brother" comment stuff, is Hart KILLED Michigan St. Back in the 2005 game he was not even close to full-speed yet ran all over a MSU team that was being hyped up by Heisman candidate (at-the-time) Drew Stanton. And then in 2007 he crushed them too.
October 20th, 2014 at 10:03 AM ^
oh. i didn't realize that was fact.
October 20th, 2014 at 10:03 AM ^
49-3 game was great... michigan had a point to prove in that game since it was the year after the "sparty bob" game... i think that lloyd had some disdain for bobby williams and showed it in that game...
October 20th, 2014 at 10:34 AM ^
I still have a picture of my wife and I (girlfriend at the time) at the game. The picture in the background was 42-3 on the score board. We missed the first score of the game (MSU's field goal) and were there for the next 49. Weird to look at the picture because the stadium is pre renovation and it was the Blue Out game which did not end up looking great.
October 20th, 2014 at 11:25 AM ^
Friend was running late who was coming from out of town and when we got there we were down 3, which was quickly rectified when we rattled off the next 49 and shut them out the rest of the way. I think I still have that long sleeved 'Blue Out' shirt somewhere.
October 20th, 2014 at 11:12 AM ^
That was the first M game I ever attended and it was glorious. As I was leaving the stadium, some pissed off MSU fans were saying, "These fans are so classless and this stadium is a dump. I'm never coming back to this shit hole."
October 20th, 2014 at 12:51 PM ^
where a MSU fan held a "Fire Bobby" sign over the tunnel as he was walking out of the stadium and a reporter asked him if he lost the team or not. Is a Michigan fan going to do the same thing this Saturday?
October 20th, 2014 at 10:04 AM ^
The best performance for Michigan vs msu was back in 2014 when a severe underdog went into East Lansing and beat the division leading spartans 31-27 with Devin Gardner throwing for 256 yds and running for a crucial TD late in the 4th quarter on a 4th and 2 from the msu 7 yd line.
And there was much rejoicing

It honestly took me 10 seconds to process what I just read. Then chuckle and type. However, I am not a believer in parallel universes.
October 20th, 2014 at 10:54 AM ^
I definitely am. In the other universe, I'm a retired dot-com millionaire who's married to a Miranda Kerr-lookalike, and Dave Brandon just delivered a pizza to the front gate.
Now that I think about it - what the hell am I doing on this side of the space-time continuum?

Back in the day all the way down to Brandstatter and Lane doing this game....

42-0. I don't think the game was on TV so I must have been listening on the radio. One of my friends was a MSU fan and she bought a T-shirt before the game (a Green one). The person at the store said she could come back and have the score put on the shirt. She was so excited - that was until the game started.
At one of the hockey games at Yost that year we were being pummeled by Staee. My roommate was there and said the crowd started cheering "forty-two to nothing".
October 20th, 2014 at 10:20 AM ^
Definitely not the best, but it was fun.
October 20th, 2014 at 10:37 AM ^
In which Chris Perry did his best imitation of a truck.
And then the one time John Navarre went back to pass, he got sacked, fumbled, and suddenly a ho-hum Michigan blowout got too close for comfort.
Good times. Didn't realize they were #10 at the time.

God I loved that game. Dantonio's first year and he so tried to pull a Tressel by placing all attention on the Michigan game from the start of his tenure and M went into that shit stadium and beat them.
Of course now Dantonio owns Michigan, but that is another of many sad stories for the M program right now.
October 20th, 2014 at 10:44 AM ^
- Desmond getting revenge in 1991
- The crazy outburst of scoring in the second quarter (I think) in 1996. I just remember being at that game, it was close, and a couple turnovers or big special teams plays suddenly turned it heavily in Michigan's favor
- Woodson 1997, that is all that needs to be said there
- 1999 was a great game, even if it didn't turn out in the end
- Perry 2003, as already mentioned
- BraylonFest 2004
- Henne/Hart and Co in 4Q in 2007
Why are we talking about this? Is there some game this week?

Thank goodness Hoke was in there, earning the credentials required to later come back as a 47-50 head coach and make possible the kind of UM-MSU game we have coming Saturday...downvote away, I don't give a shit.
October 20th, 2014 at 12:49 PM ^
Hoke was a very good DL coach. In hindsight he may have benefitted from becoming a coordinator before being a HC, but there's no need to knock the job he did from 1995-02.
October 20th, 2014 at 3:02 PM ^
I'm not saying he wasn't a good DL coach then (though I have to wonder just what the hell has happened to that skill now). I'm saying it's really great he got his years in as an assistant under Carr, without which he'd have never been considered for HC in 2011.
