Saturday Night Football: 1998 Michigan vs EMU

Thanks for posting, WD.  Great memory.  That was the last game I saw at the Big House.  Moved out of Michigan soon after and haven't been able to return for a game.  Yet.

I remember watching that SU game and thinking they were cheating by having McNabb doing his McNabbian things. Little did I know we'd be digging out of that hole of a mindset a decade later in the person of Armanti Edwards (shudder). So glad Harbaugh seems to understand the present while still exploiting the MANBALL past.

First year at EMU so I felt compelled to wear EMU gear. But heart belongs to Michigan and my cheers betrayed that.

I was there. Also got denied entry to Nectarine because of face sunburn I acquired there.

Well this is just fantastic. My first game at Michigan Stadium when I was 6 years old. I can now finally see a replay. Great stuff sir. 

So instead of watching the Pinstripe Bowl on BTN (BC vs PSU - no recollection of who won) to get my football fix i can click those blue letters in the OP and see a game I probably watched and likely attended but remember little about?

I am fully on board!  Thanks OP!

Go Blue.

This should be a weekly (or more) event.

without some lanky WR going apeshit on the defense.  Team certainly couldn't use a 6-5 WR, nope, not worth a scholarship at all.

Dang, I'd almost forgotten what it was like to have a running game with RBs who had power, speed, ability to hit holes, and break tackles.

I remember watching games that season not knowing if we would play to our potential or our inexperience. This game had both.

I went to that game with my dad. It was the kind of blowout you would expect us to have against a MAC opponent but the energy level in the stadium was really blah with that awful 0-2 start. The halftime show was REALLY cool. The MMB played the theme from Titanic, formed the ship crashing into the iceberg, breaking in half and then sinking. The crowd really ate that up.

that year with my GF and we attended the game out there, turned out to be a really good season after the 0-2 start, we beat Auburn in the Bowl Game.

Also went to a BBall game in the Maui Classic but that was the 1st season of Mich sucking after the SUV flipping thing, met Tom Goss, the AD at the time. The 90's was a fun decade.

Interesting that it was the first game against Eastern in 67 years. Unfortunate that we (and the rest of the Power 5) play such opponents all the time now.

awesome been looking for this game for a while. Still hoping you got the michigan-utah game 2002. It was my first game at the big house

I was a junior. Had a place with my friends on South Forest and was killing it. Pretty sure we had a keg race that night after the game and I went yard and kept drinking like three times.

debuted that awful paintjob on the ring around the stadium  <shudder>

Love the maize nike polo shirts.   Bring back Nike old school Michigan..    I miss the A Train days.
