Battle of Glorietta Pass, in New Mexico. "The Gettysburg of the West"
Disappointed to retroactively learn of this pictoral failing on a UM blog.

I spent that afternoon at Stagg Field watching Chicago beat an Oberlin squad that didn't have enough healthy players to play two-platoon football. Marvin Krislov was sitting right behind me.
I've missed very few Michigan games in the TV era but that was one of the smartest football-related decisions I've ever made.

Meh, at least you get your points back. Wasn't as bad as what I did.

UMx is part of the UNACCEPTABLE crowd, and he went off after the OSU game (for the umpteenth time). Honestly, I'm surprised he survived the purge...

Try having 3rd row end zone seats to see the blocked FG up close of the Horror. That sucked.
Ugh. Now I need a drink.

"The illusion is complete; it is reality, the reality is illusion and the ambiguity is the only truth. But is the truth, as Hitchcock observes, in the box? No there isn't room, the ambiguity has put on weight."

Good point. Getting beat 39-7 at home the week after The Horror wasn't much fun, either. Funny how that game gets forgotten.
It sucked losing to Toledo, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the Appalachian State loss (which, in case anyone hasn't noticed, is an oft-mentioned piece of college football history). Brady Hoke (Akron) and Lloyd Carr (Ball State ... _and_ Brady Hoke) had close games with MAC teams.

MI's roster had to be for him not to get an offer, but I am not sure he didn't. He very well could have and opted for WI instead. I was working in Saginaw in '82 or'83 and the Panters were the first pro team i was able to take my son to see. We drove down and watched AC, Bobby Herbert, Johnny - few more decent ones too - at the Silverdome. Still have a Gray and Maroon Panthers T-Shirt. That was a good night. My son was like four years old then.
W. MI went through a nice run of RB right around that time. Right after Johnny, there was Curtis who was second team AA at Central, prior to starting his pro career in San Diego. Then Bobby Morse blocked for Lorenzo at MSU before going onto the Eagles. Know he's still smiling about that kickoff return for a TD to beat the Lions. That damn young man has himself quite a spread off Lake Harbor, but guess that would have happened with or without football.
Sorry you lost your bet, but in a way, even though we should have woke up when Donovan and Syracuse showed us a new way of walking, when OR came to town, we knew the game had changed for real. Happy Holidays ATC

Toledo was less than good. The Toledo loss was worse regardless of what people told you to think.

But everybody always forget to tell you that App State was the back to back division 2 champion with everyone returning.

It sucked losing to Toledo, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the Appalachian State lossIn terms of national perception, yes, partly because at that time, no ranked team had lost to a I-AA opponent. But Appalachian was a much better opponent. 2008 Toledo may be the worst team Michigan has ever lost to.

This is one of the few blogs in sports where I am not surprised to see the beginnings of a serious discussion of the Battle Of Chancellorsvile, so well done.
As I recall, many of Hooker's immediate subordinates were furious with him, especially because Meade and others had actually been within earshot of achieving their initial objectives.
December 23rd, 2017 at 10:26 PM ^
Well, Hooker was a drunk. He tuned out and got wasted.
