Oh my, I've hit Enter without posting.

I wanted to ask what everyone was up to in 2006 when we played ND.  I remember that game as a "statement game."  A lot of national media expected us to lose.  We were all concerned.  Then Henne started throwing darts all over the place to Mario Manningham.  I spent the majority of that game in an urgent care tending to a friend whose finger we thought I broke while throwing a football around.  

That was the last time we won a road game where the following narrative was "don't fuck with Michigan."  I'm having a feeling that sentiment is repeated tomorrow.

I was sitting in my living room watching the game in a bit of a glorious shock.  I can't believe that was the last road win vs. a ranked team.  Please put that shit to bed tomorrow.  

P.S. That shit was put to bed in 2016....until it wasn't.

In Las Vegas! Ran into a few Ohio State fans in the bar and they said, "you guys look pretty good." Man what a crappy thirteen years since that glorious day (for Michigan football that is).

Cutting grass and listening on the radio. Can still remember exactly where I was in the yard when Burgess had his pok six, and when Beckmann told me Henne had hit Manningham in stride for the second TD ... Great game.

I was in Chicago visiting my then girlfriend (now wife).  Watched the game at her apartment in Lincoln Park.  I lived in San Diego at the time.  She was a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines and she got me free air tickets.  Had a ton of fun dating in both cities.  Not having to pay for air tickets made our long distance relationship work.

EDIT - I can't believe I called them "air tickets".  What the hell is that?  How about airfare?  How come nobody called me out?  Air tickets?  Seriously?

Berkeley, Ca at that time, probably sneaked out to the shed just before the game and came back happier right before kickoff.  Probably watched on a crappy TV because I was "unplugged" (besides work and michigan football) those days...for some strange reason my memory alludes me on other details....

I was sitting in the end zone basking in the glory of what was that game. Went to school in South Bend so had tailgated with many of my ND friends. 

Loved the feel of walking out of that stadium having hammered the Irish. So many great memories!!

We had family at the house fawning over my daughter, who at the time was only about three months old, so I was able to watch the game with relatively few interruptions. Of course, I was able to consume an impressive amount of rum without interruption as a result. How I was able to cook a dinner during all that is still a mystery to me.

Sitting in my living room 5 miles away enjoying the beat down but mad that I was at the previous 2 games that we lost at ND. 

I won't go there anymore. 

Go Blue!!!!

I was there.  Row 12 in the southwest corner I believe...with a huge Notre Dame fan. 

There was a Notre Dame fan in front of me that kept claiming that the refs were cheating Notre Dame and he would announce the "real score"....eventually he stopped as the onslaught continued.

Had a raucous gathering at one of the huge houses on Monroe.  Everyone did celebratory beer bongs as time expired and then ran outside to celebrate with what felt like everyone else on campus.  One of the most fun days I had at Michigan.

I was at a wedding. Just so happens that that particular marriage is currently dissolving. Perhaps the fact that the groom was out in the  parking lot watching the game with us during most of the reception may have been an early clue.

Bartending at a small local bar/restaurant and just about to punch out to go back to my college town to party.

Once Manningham caught the 2nd TD, I was screaming around the bar and my boss told me I could just bunch out and have a beer and enjoy the ass whooping!

Watched at my grandma's (RIP) house with my mom as well. Saw lots of great wins there, including Braylonfest, 49-3 vs MSU, 2003 vs OSU. I knew the onslaught was on when Woodley picked off that went right through the ND receivers hands.

We have not talked about their players.  We have not talked about their coaches.

We'll talk tomorrow...
