net and stuffed it? that was awesome!
February 16th, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
TV: Woodson return v Ohio or Henne strike to Manningham with zero in the clock.
February 16th, 2013 at 7:10 PM ^
So was I. Had to sit in the ND section. Unbelievable experience.
February 16th, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
The Catch.

OSU 97

^This. Hands down.^

and after that return, I went running through the halls of my fraternity house singing "The Victors". I got beat down by about 15 guys. I remember being at the bottom of a pile of people punching and kicking me, laughing my ass off because I had never been happier in my life. Also, Buckeye fans. Screw them. Because, Buckeye fans. Wasn't the first time I had been chased or beaten by a group of them.
February 16th, 2013 at 6:46 PM ^
I've never felt that amount of joy and happiness in my life
February 16th, 2013 at 6:47 PM ^
Courtney Avery's interception against Ohio.
February 16th, 2013 at 8:56 PM ^
I remember immediately turning to my dad, giving him an intimate man hug, and saying, "We finally beat those bastards."
February 16th, 2013 at 6:47 PM ^
96 Hockey would probably be it for me. But I was pretty young for that.
Navarre finally beating OSU in 03 and winning the conference was pretty cool too.
The CCHA tourney run a couple years ago when we pretty much had to win to extend the NCAA streak was great.
Softball national championship had me excited
Men's soccer run to the national semifinals with the Saad brothers and Meram was pretty magical
Alot to choose from

At the time: UTL. Roundtree catching it in my corner, hugging complete strangers, screaming incoherently.
Didn't realize it at the time, but looking back: Denard's first play as a Wolverine: dropped snap, broken play, Touchdown.
Sheer pride as a fan: Staying for every single damn second of the '08 Northwestern game
February 17th, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
I don't know what it was like in the student section for some of the previous moments mentioned as I wasn't a student, but I would have a hard time believing the student section was ever closer than after Roy's catch in UTL. That was a great moment.

my first michigan sports memory
February 16th, 2013 at 6:54 PM ^
In person would definitely be the Sugar Bowl. The game was pretty awesome but the walk back to Bourbon Street chanting it's great to be a Michigan Wolverine was pretty sweet too. On TV would be between UTL amazing comeback against a bitter rival and beating Washington State in the Rose Bowl to clinch the National Title.
February 16th, 2013 at 8:11 PM ^
Sugar Bowl was definitely my favorite Michigan "event"
As far as strictly games, probably UTL or comeback vs Wisconsin in 2008 since I'm from Wisky and was getting crap at halftime from all my friends back home. Some pretty great memories representing M for the Club Baseball team too.
February 16th, 2013 at 6:55 PM ^
Woodson's dominance of MSU in 1997... Tied with Desmond Howard agaisnt ohio as my first great memory Michigan footabll at 8 years old..
February 16th, 2013 at 6:57 PM ^
February 16th, 2013 at 7:07 PM ^
Seconded. I was sitting down low in the lower corner of end zone (one row above the camera shot of Sir Charles interception FWIW.....and when the game was over the team and then the band rushed over to our section. I remember like it was yesterday high-fiving players as they waded into the stands and singing he Victors over and over and over and over as the band set up directly in front of us and started playing it.
A few years ago I had fairly major surgery. The last words I remember was being told to go to my "happy place." That's where I went.
February 16th, 2013 at 10:42 PM ^
February 16th, 2013 at 6:59 PM ^
2011 will always be a tie between UTL and the Ohio game
February 16th, 2013 at 6:59 PM ^
Howard
Carter - 2x
Woodson

February 16th, 2013 at 6:59 PM ^
There are so many to choose from, and some of my favorites have been mentioned, but among games I was at, there is always this moment from Marquise Walker because it kept the Buckeyes from going to a bowl in 1999, as I recall...
February 16th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
February 16th, 2013 at 7:01 PM ^
But in the end, I have to go with Roy Roundtree's TD catch with 2 seconds on the clock in the UTL game. I'll never forget that.
February 16th, 2013 at 7:02 PM ^
Phil Brabbs.
February 16th, 2013 at 7:03 PM ^
05.... On a relatively disappointing season... This just made me jump up and down for at least 20 minutes.
February 16th, 2013 at 7:04 PM ^
Not a specific sports-instance for one, but everything this symbolized and reflecting on it now is pretty cool.

I remember when they started playing "Good Life" by One Republic over the speakers when everyone was on the field. Perfect song for that moment, brought me to tears, too.
February 16th, 2013 at 7:09 PM ^
February 16th, 2013 at 7:12 PM ^
sinking some foul shots, and--more vaguely--the Michigan D holding up against a Ryan Leaf onslaught in the waning fourth quarter of the Rose Bowl championship win.
February 21st, 2013 at 4:02 PM ^
I have that framed and hanging in my Man Cave.

I was a bit older than 13, but the play that sealed my fandom was when when the refs screwed Mike Lantry out of the game winning FG against Ohio.
John U. Bacon talks about it here
