"Remember when?" is the lowest form of conversation

16 years ago, a revolution swept through the corridors of Schembechler Hall.

14 years ago, the true story of the Revolution’s first battle against Ohio State was told.

13 years ago, a Michigan team was Gator Bowl’d and we turned our gaze to the past for a savior.

11 years ago, a guy in a sheep mask confused many readers.

10 years ago, we watched a QB wobble back into a game like a newborn fawn and decided to never order Domino’s again.

9 years ago, Michigan turned to their past to save the future, again. 

8 years ago, JT was short. 

4 years ago, there were some games played. 

2 years ago, the SEC reigned.

1 year ago, we fell short to some short frogs. 

 

To those of you who remember this handle and to those of you don’t - Go Blue.

Now I'm somewhere in the gray of middle class and middle age The man in the mirror looks more like my father every day My clothes are out of fashion, my hair is gettin' thin And my favorite conversation starts with "I remember when"

holy shit. i never thought I'd see a dex comment again. you guys and your blog had a huge influence on me as I was starting to read about football online when I was 17 or so (just like this place did). i think about WLA at least weekly, especially your post before the 2008 OSU game, called "get up" (or something like that), and especially the last paragraph from it. something like - "for the rest of us, it's time to spit the blood out of your mouth and get off the mat. It's Ohio State week. Fuck them."

it was very 2008 internet, and I'm sorry for reflecting a 15-year-old version of yourself back to you, but I thought it was great at the time, and I hope you're doing well.
