MGoTheather 3000 TONIGHT: The 1989 Rose Bowl
Join us as we expand to football, starting with a classic. We have the never-before-released high-quality video of Messner chasing Rodney Peete around.
WHAT: Michigan vs. USC, 1989 Rose Bowl and extended AMA with one of the greatest Michigan players of our generation
WHEN: 8 pm ET, tonight
WHERE: The front page and twitch.tv/mgoseth
WHO: Seth, and Dr. Sap (Messner had a family emergency)
WHY: If you have something better to do, do that.
Favorite M game of all time. Such a stirring comeback.
Wow. This is getting serious now.
Had any test run? Sometimes it's been choppy having a 2nd person on the call. A little is OK, but the first one Ace did with Brian got pretty rough. Couldn't understand Brian and the video got choppy too.
I'm aware. Hoping my home-built hog of a machine will do better than Ace's 10-year-old laptop.
Amazingly, that's the last Rose Bowl I went to, and definitely one of my favorite Michigan football memories. I was able to take my Dad to the game, who passed away only 6 years after that. So, that makes it even more of a special memory. But, Leroy Hoard was an absolute beast in that game. Without his effort (and the D's in the 2nd half) we wouldn't have won the game.
I'm in.
That's my 3rd favorite Rose Bowl; my co-favorites are Bo's first Rose Bowl win in '81 and the National Championship clincher ending the '97 season.
Messner had to bail so we replaced him with the guy he practiced against.
Thank You. I was at that game with many friends, and some not with us anymore. Those memories shine bright again...because of this thing you are doing. Awesome. Thank You!!! For the time travel. IT WORKS! REALLY!!
PS: Beating USC in their backyard was freaking incredible. Did not sleep that night or the night before.
