Because it is Friday night and I really want college football to start.

Longest Kicks in College Football History

Which reminds me of my favorite Michigan field goal: 

1994: Michigan 26 Notre Dame 24

Remy Hamilton!

Bonus video for you drinkers:  "Another episode of ncaa football 14 dynasty, we are building up Rutgers. This episode is centered around recruiting."

That video has an unbelieveable 4,400+ views.  Really, people?  Rutgers?  On a video game?  Quit Drinking and Go to Bed.

Watching the last part of the game, and how the commentors went on and on about the great game, just underscores why the Michigan-Notre Dame game is such a great marquee matchup early in the season.

The quote at the end is incredibly damning to the culture of the entire university. "This isn't about money, this is about integrity and doing the right thing. MSU needs to admit their faults and stop trying to bury it."

Mike Gillette. He mostly hit them, including game-winners. But there was this one time when the ball did not do its part .... Love Mike, a great Wolverine.

I gather the incident happened in Ann Arbor, though:  "The woman says Rovig was 'ridiculously drunk' during a night out with other school officials during a Big Ten Academic Alliance Conference in Ann Arbor in October 2016."

The Phil Brabbs redemption kick. No way I thought that was ever going in after the three missed chip shots earlier in the game.

"Before the season, I was thinking that I wanted to kick a game-winner against Notre Dame like Remy Hamilton (in 1994)," said Brabbs, whose longest field goal is still a 47-yarder during his junior year of high school.

Speaking of Mike Gillette, his kick would have beaten Notre Dame's national championship team in '88 on the last play of the game had it not been just inches to the right. Gillette went with the team to South Bend in '94 and gave Remy Hamilton a quick pep talk before his game winning attempt, during the very last second timeout where Lou Holtz tried to ice the kicker.

Scroll to 3:54 of that video and you can see Hamilton get a high five from Kraig Baker (who would go on to be the kicker during the 97 national title season) and then Gillette rushes up to also give him a high five right before Jim Herrman angrily pulls Hamilton back with the rest of the players.
