“We were losing a bunch of one-goal games, and now we’re able to pull these games out,” Hunwick said. “It’s huge in the second half to know you can play in games like that.”

"I'm a big fan of (Robinson's) game in general. He's got a big, strong athletic body, he rebounds, he shoots well off the catch, and I think he'll also be a really good defender. He's a guy who I think has the potential to play in the NBA one day."
watch the end of year all conference teams ignore Hunwick. I give it 50-50.
long, doesn't look as bouncy as GRIII
here's the plan: run downfield and grab it

Difference in the game was the receivers.
"I grew up in communism until I was three and a half years old, lived through a revolution, while bullets were flying through our apartment on Christmas Eve," Mesko, now 25, told reporters in Indianapolis, which is hosting the NFL's showpiece for the first time.
They run their mouth, and then when they meet up with the belly of the beast -- I call myself that because I am -- then they want run away. When it comes to reality, they want to run away."

We know how it ends, and yeah, it's a bummer, but I'm still watching it b/c it was the last time we were really good. Anyone else watching?
BTW, a "roughing the center" penalty was just called. I don't remember than happening when I watched this game live and never even knew that was an actual penalty. Weird.
1996 was my favorite
Yeah, definitely not watching
Yeah, definitely not watching this. I was there. That was enough.
funny
My ESPN classic game is the 1999 one where Michigan wins 24-17 with Brady hitting Marquise Walker for winning TD.
The first drive was
so fantastic at the time. Great game. Very emotional time and tomorrow will be as well. I wouldn't be suprised if the bucks have a moment on the M for the spielmans. That would be cool and would motivate everyone.

#1 Jersey
Watching back made me think of the last time we had a player pull the #1 Jersey over his shoulder pads. Normally it is given to a dominating receiver that is clearly above the others. However, with our current offense the chances of having a Biletnikoff quality receiver is slim given that we rotate receivers so often and distribute the ball around so much.
That is not to say that balance is a bad thing - it is nice to have an offense with 5 or 6 receivers that can rotate in and out without the offense missing a beat and I would rather have multiple receivers with 200 to 400 yards at the end of the season than one receiver with 1000.
That being said, it would be pretty cool if BG came out of the tunnel in the #1 jersey tomorrow and lined up against Boren. I was at the pep rally on the Diag tonight when BG, RR and Zoltan spoke to the crowd. BG was so pumped up when he spoke to the crowd, you could just feel his intensity. It will be sad to see him pound his heart tomorrow to get the crowd fired up knowing that it will be his last game.
You're right about that first
You're right about that first drive, Michigan looked so damn good on it. Two big Henne to Manningham catches, and the Hart TD. Seems like Lloyd went away from Mario after that drive
Except for when he came wide
Except for when he came wide open for a 70 yard TD with the game tied at 7..........only to have Henne overthrow him.
I think the universe hates Michigan fans.

Once was enough
for the 2006 game for me.
I vividly remember the roughing the center as it is as elusive as Bigfoot.

Crable!!!!
The thing I remember this game was Crables "illegal hit" on Troy Smith.
BTW the 1999 game is on at 9 o'clock

I hate myself for watching in
I hate myself for watching in the vain hope that it will turn out differently this time.
great game but...
...I just can't take watching it knowing the outcome. The Capitol One Bowl vs. Tebow/Florida however I can watch in repeating loops all day. Ditto for the 1969 OSU game - that one is a treat.
In retrospect
Both of these squads weren't incredible teams. If UM had won, I don't know how well they would have matched up with Florida.
Oh I dunno, I'd say they'd
Oh I dunno, I'd say they'd match up pretty much the same as they did the following year in the Capital One Bowl...
I still think OSU was better than Florida that year. OSU just didn't show up to play in that title game. But take nothing away from Florida, they outplayed OSU to win that title.
this was my first year in grad school at UM
and recall being in the stands watching it live for my first time. Loved watching that team, with Brady, A-Train, Terrel, Dhani Jones etc. Great talent.
EDIT: As i mentioned above, my ESPN classic feature is the 1999 game. Much different outcome and set of memories.
3:30 kick off
made me go crazy the whole day. It took forever to get here and then it was over............................I HATE TROY SMITH

I loved the way we upset #2 OSU. That Griese to Street winning TD pass was priceless there in the horseshoe. Probably one of my all time most satisfying wins!
