With no sound, nice!

He came through in the clutch in this game. Not to mention Brady showing signs of things to come.
Man I should have set the DVR.
December 22nd, 2011 at 3:51 PM ^
Tom Brady comeback FTW!

YOU'RE GOING TO RUIN IT FOR ME!

I recall one of the main questions going into this game was how M would deal with Alabama's speed. After the game one of M's players addressed the issue after the game and indicated the players were like "yea whatever", whenever reporters would ask them how they would deal with the speed of Alabama. Turns out they dealt with Alabama's speed pretty well.
Another memory I have from that time was the contrast between the behavior of the players in the M vs Alabama game with the MSU vs Florida game from the same day. MSU and Florida were undisciplined, fighting, talking trash and generally engaging in embarrassing behavior in their bowl game, M and Alabama not so much. The MSU game featured the debut of the Bobby Williams era as Nick Saban had recently left for the LSU job.
Spoiler alert: Michigan and MSU beat their SEC adversaries that day

I remember the bad behaviour too, that and Bobby Williams giving a pretty emphatic WTF response to Jack Arute when he asked whether they had a chance vs Florida. For some strange reason, I always liked Bobby Williams as State's HC.
I suppose we'll see him next year vs Bama.

Michigan State won a bowl game????
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
With Nick Sabans team.

I guarantee a "5:Normal" to the person who can get a screenshot of hoke at this game"

I would like to see a back-to-back special of Michigan's wins over Florida in the 2003 and 2008 bowl seasons. Hint hint, any TV execs out there.
December 22nd, 2011 at 4:34 PM ^
Ohhhh, Tom Brady in a Michigan jersey makes me tingle all over inside.

I heard the bomb ass dick story from my buddy who heard it with his own ears in West Quad. I love that it has become immortalized on this blog.

Brady Hoke sighting just before the 12:00 minute mark of the 4th.
December 22nd, 2011 at 6:25 PM ^
Tom Fucking Brady. Ah, the bowl cut
December 22nd, 2011 at 6:26 PM ^
Great Brady Hoke in victory sighting. Big old smile on face.
December 22nd, 2011 at 6:27 PM ^
...the shot of Hoke at the end of the game? Why no epic point?
December 22nd, 2011 at 6:30 PM ^
I had a brief moment of surprise at the end there seeing Hoke jump in front Llyod in the celebration. For some reason I had forgotten he was still here in 2000. Would have been great to see him pointing.

Renes, our NT, was a badass. Average white boy just destroying Alabama's OL.
