Agreed. There was a 2021 Dan Dierdorf-esq "I don't care about any of that. I just want to beat Ohio State." moment - the failures of the past two years led up to right then. Fuck all the fear, anxiety, pressure. It felt like the win was going to happen.
Felt this. No screaming, jumping up and down after the game, shots...just silently crying in the bathroom, feeling the weight of the past 60 minutes (or 17 years?) lifted off my back. The first game I ever watched was the '07 Rose Bowl, and this feels like a full circle moment. Winning the Granddaddy Of Them All against the arch-villain Saban, no less, complete with quintessential game-of-inches moments like a tipped ball maintaining a perfect spiral. We slayed the beast. Let's take the title.
God damn Brian, those last two paragraphs are giving me chills. ‘The Story’ is truly my favorite MGoBlog piece all year - the calm before the storm, where the writing can glow, unburdened by the results on a scoreboard. Thank you sir.
That’s the thing, right? Winning last year was the definition of cathartic. That 30 minute highlight video was watched once a night for a month. I’ve been pretending up to this game that I don’t care that much about football - a measure of self-preservation after years and years of flattenings. As a “zilennial”, I’ve seen Michigan beat Ohio State twice, 2011 and 2022. The first time was cathartic too - but a decade of losses followed. Will it happen again? Is this year an Oasis? Or can this team get its first OSU road W since the year 2000?
Classics like Havana Harry’s (good luck getting in that night) or Versailles. Breakfast - right next door at Cafe Versailles or Cafe Venales. Go on a brewery crawl in Wynnewood area.
He stood in there and got rocked. Just a fucking killer from the bottom of his soul. Really gonna miss Haskins but seeing DO in more games is gonna be fun.
Those Tigers are lookin' pretty good....Cespedes should be an absolute monster....and I'm really looking forward to Gorzelanny as a great lefty arm in the bullpen. ;)
Two vids from the Camp Randall Crush. One from a news station, the other an on the field view. You hear the PA begging people to get off the field, it's crazy how oblivious many were.
Was this the year where everything started out great? I seem to remember that just yelling "2014!!!" was a thing. My oh my has it gone downhill from there.
Anyway, I'm glad this program has integrity, if nothing else. Gives me some strange sense of hope for the future.
That is really one of the coolest moments of the year. Makes me think of the Mealer walk before the Uconn game. Just another reason for being the Leaders and Best!

I have purchased tickets. Didn't watch a single UMich Hockey game this season but can't pass this up on an Easter Sunday. LFG!
Anyone got tickets to the regional in Maryland Heights this Friday? Wasn't expecting it to sell out and be like 300% higher prices on resale sites.
Called your shot!
Have fun in the NFL Brian, we know the rumors are true.

Would love to see my first B1G championship. Do it for everyone born after '96 boys!
Had to take a walk after reading this. The hype is just too much.

2. The very best of luck to you, Blake. Hopefully he finds a place where he fits in and succeeds.
