First Michigan-Ohio State game day memory.

I just re-watched the '73 game. Down 10-0 in the 4th. That first Lantry FG looked good from like 55 yards. 

For me it was 1989. Sat in the student section. The kids were going bezerk. Michigan tore down the goalposts. 

Lol my first isn't fun. When I was a kid I took tennis lessons on Saturday. 1-3 every weekend. After class the older kids would hang around the lobby and catch the college football slate. I caught the back end of John Navarre trying to drive against Ohio State in 2002 as an 8 year old. 

Not my first memory but one of the best, sitting in the stands watching Tim Biakabutuka rush for 313 yards against unbeaten buckeyes as the crowd chanted "Eddie who?"

Landry missing f.g. At the end of the game for the win. Tough to watch.

I was watching on TV, not at the game, but Woody Hayes punching that camera man.

I have a vague memory of Musberger calling Harbaugh to Kolesar in '85 though the guarantee game is probably my first real memory from the series.

Funny, but except for Desmond and Charles' punt returns, virtually every indelible memory is from a game played in Columbus.

1984. I was only 7 and barely conscious of the world outside of matchbox cars and Mighty mouse. I just remember hearing the name Byars over and over and over again and thinking it was weird because we were at my Aunt and Uncles house and they lived on Dyar Court, and I remember that I kept wondering why the player had the same name as the street.  7 year olds are weird

To be honest, as a kid I thought Michigan-Michigan State was our biggest rivalry.  I was born in '81 and grew up in suburban Detroit.  I remember people wearing blue or green for the Michigan / MSU game and it was always a big deal.  I didn't really think of Ohio State much at all, probably because they weren't very good in that time frame.  From age four to sixteen Ohio State only beat Michigan twice.  

What hooked me? The helmets, duh! Then, it was Coach Bo. He recruited me, he just never knew it. I loved listening to Bo on t.v.; he was a great motivator and speaker. An Orator. He was one of my heroes, along with John Wayne, James T. Kirk, and Muhammad Ali. Naturally, my attention turned to our foe. To me, Woody Hayes was a crotchety old man, just plain mean. I didn't understand why anyone would want to play for him. I can't remember the first game, but what I do remember was the anxiety of 'The Game'. As a youngster I was a big worrier over that game. Then, if we won, on to the Rose Bowl worry.

1978 I think, mom and dad took us over to friends house next town over to watch the game. I was too young to care who won or even watch the game.

First one I watched, 1980 Michigan's 9-3 win in Columbus that sent them to Pasadena

First one in person 1984 loss in Columbus.

First one at home 1985 win, Harbaugh to Kolesar

1969

Need I say more?

Harbaugh to Kolesar - 1985.  My father was given a scholarship from India to do his masters and PH.D so he was watching the game.  I was 7 and thought wow you can throw toilet paper and go crazy in a football stadium.

Watching in the living room with my aunt (team dietitian for the fab-5) and uncle (4 year swimmer at UM) and other extended family who were in visiting while my mom was battling breast cancer. I was 11, Tim Biakabatuka running all over them all day, we were going nuts!!! One of the best distractions that year for me/us. Would be great to see some version of that domination again tomorrow!

Wasn't even The Game that hooked me. It was the 1991 (took place Jan 1, 1992) Rose Bowl. First time I remember my dad made a big fancy spread for New Years. Shrimp, beer cheese, club crackers. Got me some sparkling St Julian's NA ( I was 8). We lost. I cried. Never stopped loving being a Michigan fan since then. Winning can make you soft. On the other hand, when your team is losing, stick by them. Keep believing. 

First Michigan-OSU game I watched was 1974, Lantry’s missed field goal at the end.  I became hooked the next year when I attended my first Michigan game and Rick Leach was from my hometown of Flint.

Watching the game with my dad and brothers( I am the only M fan in the family)

Desmond did this, they freaked out, I did not.

November 21, 1987.    Ann Arbor, Michigan.   The Big House.    I was 11 and went with my dad.  Our seats were damn near the top of that old bowl, but it didn't matter, because I was at the Big House for a Michigan game with my dad.   It was cold, and my Converse Chuck Taylor canvas shoes, which were probably red, were the wrong choice.

Fuckin' Chris Spielman lit it up that day and it was a disappointing outcome.   But it was Michigan Stadium with my dad for Michigan-Ohio State, so it's all good.   I will do the same thing soon with my oldest son.  

I was born in 89, and the first game I remember is the 95 game. Just remember the announcer repeating a funny sounding name for Michigan all day 

The first Ohio St/Michigan game that I attended (also first time at the Big House), I was lucky enough to watch the Desmond return and pose.  I was a huge fan prior to that game, but pretty much an addict after.

First memory was hearing everything that happened after Ohio State’s go ahead score in 88, because I, a seven year old, was upset they were going to lose. Then going to the 89 game with my dad the next year to see a title clincher.

I was 5 months old last time Michigan won in Columbus, so my first lasting memories of this game weren't great until watching the 2011 game (and even then it was only a light reprieve). But man was that a great day. Here's hoping for 15 years worth of revenge tomorrow!

I remember some of the games a few years before, but I remember being old enough to take in the whole 1997 game when I was nine years old. I remember seeing that hit on David Boston live and just going crazy. 

Freshman year, 1991, Desmond game. Besides the game itself, I remember the Daily editorial which was such a magnificent troll job I have rarely seen its equal since. 

1997. I was 7 years old and my dad had taken my brother and I earlier that year to my first game when Baylor came to town. It didn't occur to me at the time how important that season was but I remember sitting with my dad and watching every game I could. 

Charles Woodson, rose in the mouth. The day I became a Michigan fan.

96 upset of OSU is what sticks out the most.  

The Desmond Heisman game.  Made it look easy and loved every second of it.

I didn’t avidly watch Michigan until 2006 when I was 10. So my first OSU game was memorable but I’m not very fond of it. The first time I got frustrated by sports ever was Shawn crable late hit. I haven’t seen much success in this game in my life, hopefully this year it turns it all around. 

1986 M-OSU at the Shoe. First time I watched (or at least paid attention to) a Michigan game. I was hooked immediately. Not a bad first experience and there have only been a handful of games to top it since. 

1973 Michigan stadium. Fell in love with the Wolverines listening to Robert Frost Ufer while I worked as a mechanic in Flint Michigan. Finally got tickets to Michigan OSU. The heartbreak year.

Lantry missed just left in the attempt to break the 10 10 tie.  Then an interception and return by michigan. Lantry again. Wide right. I was standing at my section exit. When it missed I hung my head and walked to the car. Great game tho. Glad to be a Michigan Fan.  Been to many games since. Tomorows win will be the best ever tho!!!   Go Blue!

Can't remember the exact one but one of the early 70s games on TV. I watched it at my best friends house. His dad was a Michigan grad and I remember lots of screaming. Guessing 1970 or 1972. 1971 wasn't on TV!
