Aaargh, I will never tire of seeing Denard drop it into super-low and tell the pile "we're going that way, boys".

1. UTL was incredibly special.

2. I love those uniforms with the block M.

3. Denard is a BEAST and we're lucky to be witnessing such a special player.

4. Our WR's are the kings of reeling in the "arm punt"

Thanks for sharing man I enjoyed it.

Really, really nice job.  Thanks.

I was there and saw it with my own two eyes.  I have re-watched the game, especailly the second half, several times.  I still have no idea how so much stuff got crammed into one game, or how in the name of all that is maize and blue that we won that game.

One suggestion - you should add in video of the 70,000ish fans that stayed for a half hour after the game and Denard telling us all that the game was "OVER!"

UTL gets better and better with age, and it was incredible to begin with.

Most games fade from memory and wind up stored in the collective Michigan attic.  A select few become bigger with age and achieve iconic status, helping to define Michigan as a program . . . 1969 Ohio State, Wangler-to-Carter, Desmond's punt return, Woodson's return, Braylonfest, PSU :01, a handfull more.  UTL will be added to that list.  It will not fade, it will become bigger with time.

There were more significant Michigan games played in 2011, but UTL is the one they will recall 50 years from now.  It had everything.

Watching the replays, ESPN had to have dumbed down the noise so the announcers were more audible, because the stadium was going absolutely insane but it sounds almost silent on TV.

Yeah, I remember losing my voice during that game from all the screaming and yelling. I have never heard the Big House get that loud, but the TV broadcasts don't do it any justice. I've got some good videos I took on my phone where you can get an idea for how loud it got, but still not quite enough.

Good job with the vid.

Any of us who were fortunate enough to have been there for that game witnessed a piece of Michigan football history that was as good as it gets. 

UTL was a very special evening.

The game was going to be special simply for being the first night game in the stadium's history. To have that type of ending, though, made the night even more special. What a night. To have that game in the same season as our first win over OSU in 7 years and a BCS bowl win...wow, what a magical season.

The game that brought us Dymonte Thomas, the defensive anchor to our historic 2013 recruiting class.  It will come to represent far more than just one win.

Thank you for sharing your video.  I never tire of watching this game or hightlights of it.  I also love how you started it out with slow music, black and white with all the bad plays and then had the music pick up and the color come alive with the Michigan highlights.  It fit the game perfectly with how all of our energy was.  Reminds me of the 2004 Sparty game(and a few others over the years!)
