Wow. Just wow. Thanks a ton for posting. As far as I'm concerned, you and your entourage should have rock star seating in E. Lansing for what looks to be a colossal beat down. You will be there, right?

+1

Thanks for sharing.

I'll have to log on in the morning to give you an actual +1. Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sorry for whatever difficult times you might have gone through with it, but am also glad that you were able to turn it into a positive. Glad you'll be smiling again with the rest of us in two weeks.

Thanks for being a great representative for us.

 

Awesome. A++

great read and glad to hear you are doing well. Go Blue!

I have never seen this clip apparently. This is the first I can recall hearing about any "The Guy". I was at the game so I never felt the need to ever watch any part of the damn thing on TV. Ever. Now I kind of want to see this. Is there a way to see it without seeing that play? I've gone this long without ever seeing it so I figure I might as well keep going.

Edit: clicked on your second link with the still pic 5 miles into the thread. Dude. Are you sure you're ok? That is one heck of a screen grab.

at least got you laid.  A lot.

you will have an engineering degree from MI and all the knuckleheads out there can suck it.

 

 

Thank you, young man.  Proud of you, and your epitomizing what is special about Michigan.

It's hard to really fathom just how much has changed in only 2 years.

2 years ago Dave Brandon was let go.

1 year ago we were clearly the better team against State,

Hearing an interview with Ward Emmanuel yesterday while driving home, I was thinking, (not for the first time) how much more articulate he is comparied to Brandon, how articulate Hackett is compared to Brandon.  The presence is completely different.

Good things ahead for this program, enjoy our success and best wishes for your future. 

I'm jealous of you, "The Guy," now. Didn't think I would utter those words a year ago.

Awesome story man. I'm glad that this has turned into a great thing for you and that you have stayed True Blue.

I REALLY hope they capture your face post-victory in EL.

Thanks for sharing your story and experience. Kind of scary when simply attending an event and reacting to something can put you front and center of the entire country. You and Ken Bone can share that brotherhood together. 

You handled yourself incredibly well, and I hope you will get the opportunity to attend the game in EL this year. You deserve that. They breed 'em well in the Baldwin family. A++

 

Care to share some details about that meeting? Is he as curmudgeonly in person as he appears to be on TV?

Go Blue, my friend. Glad you're in a good place. Rest assured that I looked exactly like you did in that moment; I just happened to be in my house, 1400 miles away, sans TV cameras.

Since I shut the TV off in shock as soon as the horror play ended with no flags and have never watched a replay, this is the first I've heard of this. It's only recently that I even read a few lines about this play. Still blaming Baxter, special teams "genius" for not being in full blocked punt protection formation. Didn't we have one or two gunners on that play even though Sparty had no one deep?

We all had the same look on our faces in the living room

One can make a strong argument that without that play OSU is very likely in the playoffs, with a decent chance to repeat as national champions. 

Thanks for posting. Good to hear things are going well & I do hope you go to the MSU game and the media has a chance to get a "redemption" shot of you. Your initial reaction epitomizes what every single Michigan fan felt at the time. FWIW, that "shocked look with hands in the head" now seems to have gotten a name that is growing in popularity: the "Surrender Cobra". Lots of fans seem to adopt it when a shocking turn of events for the worse happens at a sporting event. Here's to a season of watching OTHER fans flash the "surrender cobra" this year.

how does this article not include a picture?

Very interesting to learn the follow-up to the story.  I personally don't care for TV guys making fun of fans for acting like, well, fans, but I guess that's where we are now. 

Excellent username by the way.

 

and Jim Harbaugh.  I think it's very inspirational and shows what the Michigan spirit is all about.

Yes, we were all sickened by the play, but as I recall, as a whole, the fanbase behaved with class towards the punter and sympathized with the players who were obviously more hurt than we ever could be.

This year's team may go on to do great things, but the way that team came back from that heartbreaking loss and finished the year was the foundation upon which Harbaugh built his future program, and I will always be proud of their accomplishments.

Like coach said..."It steeled our spine"

And to answer their grinch coach's question....The Wolverines haven't gone anywhere, we're here watching your program fall off a cliff as Harbaugh reclaims the state.

Thanks for sharing.  I was behind you quite a view rows in the north endzone for that play.  I have seen that play once, in real time, I have not watched one replay since.

 

Go Blue!

I noticed a Rutgers fan was holding a big poster of your face in the stands 2 weeks ago when we played there, before the game got out of hand.

Stupid fans living through other teams success. State did that in 2007 before we played them when they had a 6 game losing streak to us and their fans were selling t-shirts with the score of The Horror on it.

so are the days of our lives

is the catch phrase the media pushed following the events described above....
