Just put up highlights of the 2004 game against miami university. It was the debut of Chad Henne who was thrown into the starting spot when Matt Gutierrez got injured game week in practice. You know the drill, let me know how I did and share your thoughts and/or memories of this game.
My next video is going to be the game against san diego state in 2004. It will be the only copy of it on the internet.
(No subject)
Maybe it's just me
but I swear when I watched this game 8 years ago there was less buffering.
Love & Hate are horns on the same goat.
This was my sophomore year at
This was my sophomore year at Michigan. I remember the team coming out on the field and asking my friend, "Wait, is that Henne? Starting??" Turns out he did pretty alright. I think he actually managed to be underappreciated in his time at Michigan, just because everyone gave Braylon/Hart so much of the credit for our big wins (which they earned, to be fair).
Junior
It was my junior year. It was also the first game that Michigan Dance Team got to stand by the band for the whole game (instead of down by the away band).
Great day.
MDT Go Blue!

This started my streak of going to consecutive season openers that will come to end this year. Still rememeber calling my dad, who was watching at home, why Hene was in the game.

Hail to the college whose colors we wear,
Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue!

At that. Michael Shaw was the same way. "Mike Shaw is going to break out this year if he stops dancing in the backfield!" -Me 2009-2011

And thus began
Lloyd's retirement countdown

I loved Henne, but it always seemed like he took an absurd amount of sacks. Can't even count how many times I screamed "THROW THE DAMN BALL AWAY" during his career. Also, "Their offensive line is bigger than the Washington Redskins'!", that's some manball for you.
O-line
Big is one thing (and that they were), agile is another entirely:
Can't play manball 'less you can *move* a little bit. Only Baas and Long did that at an NFL-level for a long stretch. The tide seems to be turning with Lewan, Schofield, and most likely a bunch of the '12 and '13 guys.

This sounds like a dare to WolverineHistorian
I've asked him a few times
I've asked him a few times and have seen requests on his page about the game and he said he does not have a copy of the game. I just ordered one on DVD from Art Vuolo's shop so these two games bring closure to the 2004 season.
Would like to see Mike Hart
Do you have anything on Mike Hart's first start? I have been looking for highlights of that game.
SD State
That was the San Diego State game, great coming out party for Hart.
Yes that was the 2004 game vs
Yes that was the 2004 game vs SDSU. I will be putting that game up next.

I was 10 during this game...and I still remember David Underwood and all the dancing in the backfield he did.

First game of my senior year
I remember walking to the game and hearing people in the crowd saying they heard rumors that Gutierrez was hurt. Then, it was finally time for the offense to take the field. I heard all kinds of things in the stands.
"What happened to Gutierrez?" People pronouncing Henne as "Hen" and no one correcting them because no one knew! It was all confusion! Kid could play.
"This is Michigan for God's sake."
hmmmm
We missed an extra point
Two actually. One off the
Two actually. One off the left upright and then one off the right one.
I still remember this game
I recall reading the day after some sports writer or other said, to paraphrase:
"Poor Matt Gutierrez may want to start looking for a new team. Sometime in the 3rd quater, this became Henne's team. He played like a senior and a skilled one."
How true. Still so sad/mad that somehow, some way Henne, Hart and crew couldn't pull out The Game.
So I watched these highlights
So I watched these highlights and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't even vaguely remember this game, then I realized its because I was in Iraq at the time with zero internet or tv! Ahh good times! Thanks though it was fun to watch for the first time.
We appreciate your sacrifice
I thought AFN got all of the Michigan games, though.
I was able to switch out a
I was able to switch out a patrol with a buddy to watch The Game that year and the bowl against Texas? I believe. They were on but it was more about being on patrol or missions or some other thing while they were on. With the time difference I think they were on late at night and that's when I was usually out.
OEF veteran here...
I was deployed to Afghanistan (April 12, 2005 - April 09, 2006) and was stationed at Bagram Air Base....I was able to watch (live) 8 out of the 12 games Michigan played that year.....I was able to follow the 4 (Eastern Michigan, Minnesota, Penn State, and Indiana) I couldn't watch on gamecast/livetracker, etc....
Minnesota and Penn State that year were NOT games you wanted to follow on a very slow internet connection....for exact opposite reasons....
Something I always love
Something I always love seeing is the body language of the players when they celebrate. In 2004, they took a slow, arrogant approach to celebrating. I liked it.

Thanks for posting
Constructive criticism- Please trim more fat from the highlights. Two yard runs and incomplete passes from Miami aren't something I care to relive. There's really no reason for these to be longer than 10-15 minutes, Wolverine Historian's videos were better when they were more concise.
I agree with you on that.
I agree with you on that. Some videos are split in 3 and take you an hour to watch.

You can usually find me bumping some Reggae, hammered on Higgins Lake with the goon squad. #HALOL
Go Blue!
I wish WolverineHistorian
I wish WolverineHistorian would do a few losses. I know, nobody wants to relive a loss and I know he's stated he doesn't do losses but he puts the videos together so well and there were a lot of exciting games over the last 20 years we unfortunately came out on the losing end of. There were still a lot of bad ass plays in a lot of those games. Win or lose.

Well.....I do have losses.
Well.....I do have losses. But I'm not too crazy about uploading them.
1. Because of the head trauma I may inflict on myself watching it again
2. The trolls would come out from under their bridge.
Much better context this time
Much better context this time but why do you continue to show the extra points? They are neither relevant nor exciting unless there is a miss. Otherwise much improved and thanks as always.

I still remember watching
I still remember watching this broadcast and my jaw dropping when the announcers said a true freshman would be starting at QB for Michigan in place of Guitierez. I was like "Yeah? Fuck!". Then by mid-game, I was all like "Fuck YEAH!" Not a bad debut for an 18-year-old who was playing high school football just a 8 months prior.
