a) Knowing that Michigan wins,
b) watching Charles Woodson in the winged helmet, or
c) recalling memories of the "Ryan Leaf or Peyton Manning" debate.

G) Remembering marching out of the Rose Bowl, chanting "It's Great... To Be... A Michigan Wolverine," replacing "Michigan Wolverine" with "National Champion."

Because it was awesome to see Michigan win the National Championship... but it was f-ing lame to share it with Nebraska. Fuck you Fulmer! Seriously though, it must have been awesome to be at that game! I know I enjoyed it just from my living room!

G.) Hearing Keith Jackson's voice, with the old ABC music.

I was there too. Bottom right corner of Michigan endzone. Righ behind where Sir Charles flew approximately 187 feet in the air to intercept a pass and keep WSU from going up 14-0. And in the same general vicinity where the team itself entered the stands to sing the Victors 100millionjillion times with us after the band set up shop 16.7 inches in front of us.
One would think our seats sucked given the sightlines for the game but in reality I wouldn't have traded them for the world.

I was smack-dab in the middle of the student section (being a student at the time). I do feel like we got screwed with the seating, especially having gotten used to sitting in Section 25, Row 21 as senior.

On American Chopper right now is the conclusion of the "Michigan Bike" build, including the unveil. What a sick bike!

Before the game was the Wazoo fans around me said, "We've got Ryan Leaf and you got Griese!" They apparently had never heard of the Heisman Trophy before. One of the many awesome things was the smile on my face when they announced Brian Griese as the MVP.

1986 (how did we blow a 15-0 lead against John Cooper of all people)
1997 (nuff said)
2004 ( win time of possession but lose game. What if game starts with Braylon's drop)

I was at the 2007 Rose Bowl and the Michigan team completely underwhelmed everyone. Talk about coming out flat. I really expected a great game from them. Oh well. We've got some history to re-write I suppose. Please Rich, give us a Big Win for Christmas!!!!!!!!!

Surprising because everytime i see an old M game on BTN or ESPN, we lose. Why is that? Or am I just sensitive?
December 22nd, 2010 at 5:23 PM ^
I don't remember where I saw it, but I thought I read somewhere that Michigan has something like a .400 winning percentage on ESPN Classic
December 23rd, 2010 at 1:21 AM ^
You probably read that from me. Some years back, I started to add up all the UM football games I had seen on Classic from over a 7 year span and I stopped counting once I got to 20 games below .500. What was most interesting to me was the actual number of Michigan games featured on Classic compared to everyone else. Not a single team came within 40 games. Not Ohio State, not Florida, not Nebraska...not even GOD's team, Notre Dame.
ESPN Classic seemed to live by the mantra: if we win, it's expected. If we lose, it's always an instant classic. The more heartbreaking the loss, the more likely it would be featured.
That's when I finally threw up my hands and said, "Fuck Classic." I'm going to upload every Michigan victory I can get my hands on.

Thanks for posting this! I just turned it on. I can't believe how long ago that feels. What a great game!
December 22nd, 2010 at 5:43 PM ^
We're winning 14-13!!!!!!!!! YES!
December 22nd, 2010 at 6:01 PM ^
It is good to see Woodson in that uniform again.
December 22nd, 2010 at 8:13 PM ^
Our linebackers were so fast and made great tackles. I hope one day our D will be like this again. Jones and Hall were just monsters. Streets also had a great game. Good times.

One of the best parts of that season was the Heisman Trophy Ceremony. First off, Randy Moss was wearing sunglasses the entire time. Hysterical. Second, Peyton Manning's face when they announced the winner was priceless.
