Donovan finna get his saturday.

He hasn't exactly been impressive / lit it up as the return guy. I'd love to see it, though. Either to start the game and maybe give us a momentum boost or towards the end of the game to pad our lead.

Idk how to do this (never tried) so if anyone can lend a hand I'd be more than happy to edit this comment with a direct embed of the clip

We parked so far away, I missed that play and the fight. I can't complain. My ticket was free. My friend's dad took me to my first Michigan football and basketball games. RIP Mr Stone.

The last block is my favorite block of all time. It is plays like this one that remind me why I must remain emotionally invested in sports.

That look on David Boston's face at the end tho.

The next Charles Woodson needs to step up. Someone needs to return a punt, a KO, or an interception for a TD on Sat.
November 22nd, 2017 at 12:03 PM ^
next Charles Woodson. He stands alone.
November 22nd, 2017 at 12:03 PM ^
Was at that game. Best sporting event of my life. He also had a crucial interception and I remember thinking early on they were just not going to beat him that day. Charles was one of those guys who was every bit as good as advertised.

I was there as well. What I rememeber most was the student section turning into a mosh pit after the Woodson punt return TD. I ended up several rows in front of my seat after the mayhem subsided.

I was screaming so loud that when the play was over my brother leaned over and asked if Woodson was my boyfriend.

My biggest memory other than the obvious was after the game when people from the stands tried getting on the field for the celebration. There was one security guard that was just laying people out like he was the starting Mike. Fans stopped going his way after a couple were absolutely destroyed by him.
November 22nd, 2017 at 5:27 PM ^
I 100 percent remember that. He was bouncing up and down and would lay people out when they got close.

Was this also the last time Ohio didnt wear ugly ass alternate uniforms during the game?
November 22nd, 2017 at 12:18 PM ^
My first game in the student section. Greatest fan experience of my life. An amazing moment in an amazing game.

Desmond in '91 - less dramatic because we were clearly the better team and won 31-3
'97 - agreed the block by LeAndre Brown was awesome - and critical to making that play go.
The energy in the stadium was so incredible even before the kickoff.

...for that game. Great moment. Great game. Went to the Rose Bowl and saw the team beat Washington State, too. Good times!

As I sat on the 45 yard line and celebrated. Who would of thought as a 25 year old young man that it would be 20 plus years, a wife, 2 grown kids, new houses and graying and losing my hair that Michigan would not be relevant again in the National Title picture. I am now 45 going on 46 and I still have no answer as to why this has happened to our team, and more important where the hell dis my life go! Just saying

I was at this game. That return was a thing of beauty.
Watching the game on tape later (remember when we did stuff like watch things on tape?), the best part of that sequence is the utterly bewildered look on David Boston's face, like it escaped him in all his bluster that this was even possible.

the first row right behind the Ohio State band on about the 10 yard line. Looked into north end of the stadium as Woodson caught the punt, lost sight of him for a second, and then he burst out of crowd towards the near sideline. Came around the corner and was free down the sideline. In a second he was running right in front of us and into the end zone. Loudest I've ever heard Michigan Stadium for the biggest play by the best player in Michigan history.

"Shades of Desmond Howard!"
My personal favorite radio call.
November 22nd, 2017 at 1:31 PM ^
Also on this date: 24-12. That Michigan team was a bigger underdog than the 2017 version.
November 22nd, 2017 at 2:15 PM ^
That and Desmond's punt return. Can watch those over and over. Time for a new memory.
LET'S GO BLUE!! Get it done Saturday!!
November 22nd, 2017 at 5:35 PM ^
Was at the game. I could hear the roar of the crowd all the way down there. She said the stadium was shaking. Best moment in my 46 years on Earth.
GO Blue! Jimmy needs to get it done.

In which case, here are the steps to embed a youtube video on Mgoblog (from a computer, can't speak to mobile):
- Go to the youtube page you want to embed
- Click Share
- You will then see a pop-up box with multiple sharing options. You will see a link for "EMBED", click that
- You will see another pop up window that has some text that looks like <iframe.........(a bunch more text that ends with iframe>. Highlight and copy all of that text
- Come back to Mgoblog and open a new comment / reply page
- At the bottom of the page, select "Switch to plain text editor"
- Paste the embed code into the comment window
- At the bottom of the page select "Switch to rich text editor". You will then see a red box that says iFrame. This is ok.
- Click save and pray that it works (which it should)
That's all there is to it (I think).

loved that game, that play, that season. Michigan was truly relevant. We need a BCS-era version of that season soon!
