Still have it on my DVR. I've watched it probably 10 times since it first happened. Plus I was there live. That game was incredible, especially after the year before.

I was at a wedding. With no television. I had to 'watch' the final drive on a Blackberry during the bridal party speeches. Plus I knew no one at the wedding other than my wife and the bride. And I had to drive back to South Bend at the end of the night, so I had to stay sober the whole time.

Advice for all young single Michigan fans... Establish yourself as a Michigan football fanatic very early on. Within a few weeks of meeting her, she should know that you will never get married on a Michigan Saturday. If she knows it up front, it helps tremendously.

After watching that drive and remembering what a HEALTHY Tate Forcier can do, I got gooooosebumps. Man, I'm excited to see how much of an improvement this kid makes in his second year.

Every time I watch that and see Forcier get sacked around 1:18 a little part of me thinks... 'o shit how are we going to win this game' and then I remember and its awesome

Happy for Savoy when Matthews caught that ball. Can you imagine the sleepless nights for him if we would've lost that game on his dropped TD pass?

I sat next to Savoy on a plane ride to Detroit before his Junior year. He was a super nice kid and I always rooted especially for him to do well after that. It was great to see him make two nice plays on that drive even if he wasn't able to reel in that last one.

People who get married on Saturday's during the fall don't want you as a friend. They are just too nice to actually tell you and will kill you with their passive-aggression. Best part of the touchdown (other than the points) was Matthews checking himself, handing the ball to the refs and getting off the field to avoid the penalty. That's pretty impressive self-awareness.

Agreed, now that I think of it, things could have gone to hell in a handbasket if he was like any other college football player and got a penalty. With our corners, and Notre Dame's vertical passing attack, things could have gone really badly if they had better field position.

I was at home. My wife was outside. She came up to the window and made a motion for me to quiet down, as I sounded quite loud all the way outside. The neighbors kept looking. This was before the final touchdown. When Tate completed that pass for the final touchdown, I fell to my knees and raised my hands in silence. Then I had a heart attack.

What really never gets old for me about this game is the very end, when time has run out, and Charlie wants to argue that he should have one second left, but can't hustle himself over to catch the officials, so instead he stands there with his finger in the air like a moron. "Pardon me,... sirs? Uh, guys? Could you come here? My feet have sunken into the turf."

I was at this game and I think I felt the earth shake about three times. Stonum's return, Tate's run and the final drive. It was deafening when Tate ran up the middle.

I love watching this video. It reminds me what incredible upside Forcier has. He is already possibly the most accurate passer we have ever had and despite having a repuation as not being a running quarterback, he clearly can do it. If this guy ever develops a good option game, he's going to be a Heisman candidate. He's like Drew Brees, but quicker, and with an offense better designed to take advantage of his better mobility.
