The Burke steal!
Edit: For clarification, I'm referring to the steal on Appling which led to the game-winning basket, although the steal on Harris was arguably just as important.
I felt like we were almost mocking state. They slap the floor a lot, and did it a couple of times already in this game. It felt like we were turning the game and that was our way of saying "get the fuck off our court" 2013 version. I personally hate the floor slapping as a routine though.
We were definitely mocking them. They did it two possesions before that. Burke also slapped the floor twice, one of them being right in front of Appling and the MSU bench after the timeout was called.
GAME.... BLOUSES!!
Enjoy the ride. He's a stud. Go blue.
Basketball wins are great... but there is only one football showdown each year and that comeback was one for the ages. Let's not forget that we got an onside kick, etc. It was quite a feat to see... I was there in person and it was unreal.
Braylon fest live was incredible. That game and UTL are 1 and 1a all time for me. The best part is that I took my little brother to the game. Yes, you guessed it. He went to State. When we got the on-sides kick he said "oh no" over and over. He knew what was going to happen
Two years ago MSU at Michigan in basketball and Darius' "get the fuck off my court."
It's not really a play per se, but when Darius Morris told Kalin Lucas to get the fuck off his court, that feels like the point in time when the rivalry went from being obviously one-sided to even or even skewed to advantage Michigan. Before that we almost seemed scared of them, after it not so much.
-Woodson's interception in 1997? Didn't need it to win the game but a kickass play.
-Garrett Rivas' field goal in overtime to win in East Lansing in 2005...
I think it's safe to say that Trey made up for the six turnovers against Penn State. Made up for it and entered Michigan lore.
This will never get old.
That's beautiful. I could watch that over and over.
Wanted to see how long I could watch that and still feel joy each time. Turns out the answer is a very long time. ...and counting.
Those all Maize jerseys look better after and Ohio and State win with them.
I agree and have redacted all criticisms of the all maize jerseys. I say we wear them into April.
If our other choices are sleeves. Between all maize jerseys and sleeves....all maize, no doubt.
Can we get a "Sparty NO!" attached to this somehow? Make it happen.
Those are my cookies!
Was at game in upper teir behind msu bench... Might have lost many yrs off my life today. Trey Burke was awesome, nobody could stop his penetration all day..what a fucking game.. Go blue
It's kind of forgotten now, but Daniel Horton made a huge 3 to all but clinch the game against MSU at Crisler in 2003. That was the first time we beat Izzo after he'd built up his program.
Wasn't that the 70-68 game? That was during a 4 year stretch where we only played MSU once during the regular season.
60-58 IIRC. Horton's shot put us up by four with around 30 seconds left.
with a 30 footer at the buzzer for a 65-63 win @ Jennison in the 1977-78 season
Keith Smith sinks a free throw w/ no time remaining to win 49-48 @ Crisler in the 1978-79 season.
In like 07. Most dominating performance I've seen
I was thinking it was '03 or '04? Wasn't it during Henne's freshman year?
It was 04 my sophomore year, Halloween weekend
It was 2004. We also had a comeback win in '07 though (coming back from 24-14 down to win 28-24).
Although we wound up not winning the game, Brandon Graham's annihilating goal line hit in the 2009 game was an unforgettable play.
Our final drive in regulation in that game (when we went almost the entire length of the field in a couple minutes) was epic. That was perhaps Tate Forcier's finest moment (only to be followed by his disastrous OT).
Oh yeah! Glen Winston was the unfortunate victim of that hit.
the Manningham TD? I cannot get the TD against Penn St out of my head. I think it may be blocking out any memory of what Manningham did against Sparty that was so epic. But I cannot remember. Anyone know what the OP is talking about?
With 7 minutes left. Chad Henne finds Greg Mathews in the back of the end zone to make it 24-21. Defense forces a 3 and out as they stuff Culcrick (or whoever that fat running back was) and get the ball back. 3rd and 12 Henne finds Manningham deep and makes a jumping/falling backwards catch to win. That press conference is where the Little Brother nickname originated thanks to Mike Hart.
I legitimately thought we were about to have our hearts ripped out from us again.
Trey Burke had a different idea.
Anyone have a camera on Izzo's face during the steals?
