Photoshop? I am not sure what that is. I can promise you that these two gentlemen took me on a trip.
It's your kids Marty, Something's gotta be done about your kids. They think Michigan State is better because they are not healthy yet!
Here's to there being more than one 2014 banner when all is said and done
This!
B1G Tourney champs (assuming there's a banner for this)
Final Four appearance
National Champs.
Am I missing any??
How about NATIONAL Coach of the Year!
2014 you mean... We shall not speak of the year that must not be named.
Don't worry, John Beilein is on a mission to replace all the banners that were taken down.
Gary Grant says hi......
Maybe it was,lol. I started following UM with Rudy T.
Cazzie, cough, cough, and Bill Buntin.
Along with Cazzie and Buntin, don't forget 'the Big O'...Oliver Darden.
The first NIT Championship. When they still had the red, white, and blue basketballs.
Whoo Hoo!
I remember the '89 game well and I was in 5th grade. I was on the concrete bball court the week before shooting free throws with friend that was a much better free throw shooter at the time. After he out-performed me I told him that free throws were worthless and needless to say I was soon proven very wrong and I was very happy about it.
Those free throws were so clutch. Rumeal didn't display any hint of nervousness, which was very unlike those of us watching in Ann Arbor ...
As a 94er I started on this board when I was a freshman in high school.
Laid off five years and counting.
Not sure how you got that impression out of me, but alright. I realize I don't have much ''real world experience'' I guess, but I'd like to think that I have a much more realistic view of life than a lot of people my age.
Um. Yeah.
I am not the oldest on the blog by any stretch, but I was born in the early summer of 1978. This entire segment of the thread makes me feel old now. I will probably start drinking earlier than normal on a Sunday as a result of reading this, as I now know that a couple fellow MGoBloggers were born when I was at Michigan.
Old? I was 27 years old when you were born. I'm so old I have young whipper snappers like you tell the young'uns to get off my lawn.
My best buddy was a Virginia grad. The Cavaliers met the Wolverines in the great 8. We agreed before the match that we would go to the FInal 4. Rice and Higgins crushed Virginia by 50 points and he was a man of his word and we bucked up and made the trip. We ventured out to the Kingdome where UM was for certain to be crushed by Illinois the third time in 89. I'll NEVER forget Higgins put back v Illinois, Glen Rice going full throttle Stauskas, and Rumeal Robinson's FTs.
The rest is history but seeing UM and UVa win their titles today made me think of getting ready to see some more tournament action with my Wahoo friend.
and was stuck for two weeks as a transient at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on duty for the Illinois game. Had to watch huddled around a little 14 inch screen with a bunch of Michigan-hater 'experts' who razzed me about Illinois' superiority. Until the end. There is not much that is sweeter than in-person schadenfreude.
Hell, I have vivid memories of 1976.
... leading the Wolverines to victory against Syracuse on the Crisler court. Think that was '86. Already had my heart set on Ann Arbor, but that game put a cherry on top. Matriculated in '87.
