Your Best Memories of Ohio State Games?

1988: Demetrius Brown to John Kolesar at Cbus for the win. 31-27?

1989: Jarrod Bunch clinching TD run, 28-18

1991: Desmond Heisman pose, 31-3

1992: Carlson game winning fg at Cbus, 16-13 (after Cooper went for it on 4th and 1 at OSU 30. Short.

1993: Tim B 323, 31-23

The 90's.  As a young lad at the time, aged 10-20 - it was quite enjoyable seeing M win all those games as an underdog. 

I will give you my two most vivid memories: 1968, Ohio State is throttling Michigan.  Woody goes for 2 at the end of the game.  I was watching (not a Michigan fan yet) and utterly dumbfounded.  “WTF sort of asshole is this guy?  This will come back to bite him someday.”

Next, 1969: after the fifth interception of his two quarterbacks and the clock running out on “the greatest college team ever assembled” I sat there thinking “see, you stupid asshole.  Act like a dick and it comes back to bite you. Jerk.”

Woody had his virtues, I assume from what Bo and others have said.  But the man was classless (see forearm to Clemson player who intercepted) and I lay much of the insanity-level obsession on the Game at OSU in particular at his feet.

Had to be '95-'97.  Pick Biakabutuka, the upset, or Woodson sealing the undefeated season as well the heisman.  What a good decade for Michigan. Hockey, Football, and Basketball were all fun to watch. 

1. The Biakabutuka game was my first at The Big House.

2. A close friend recently passed. Her husband was on the 2015 staff. She gave me on field passes for The Game. It was awesome to be able to walk through the tunnel and around the field to head up to our seats. I'll never forget that. Or my good friend...

2013 was fun for most of the game.

My first Michigan v. Ohio State game was November 20, 1971, my freshman year.

M won 10-7.  Billy Taylor ran it in from the 21 around right end into the south endzone for the score.  Thom Darden went over an OSU receiver for an interception, with Woody going crazy demanding an interference call, ripping up the down marker in the process.  You can watch the video on YouTube.

Freezing cold and sleeting throughout the second half.  My parents came to the game and they were going to take me dinner.  We met up after the game and my dad said they were going home and handed me a $20 for a good dinner.  I sat in the shower under the hot water at Bursley for an hour trying to warm up.

I was in Columbus for the 2000 game.  Henson shredded them through the air and then scored on the 4th and goal from the 2 on a bootleg to put the game away.  It was a glorious feeling and I remember turning to my dad and screaming "WE WIN!" and I gave him a big hug.  Last time we won in that place I believe

1980: 9-3 in Columbus, AC scores the only TD of the game

1985: Harbaugh to Kolesar

1988: Demetrius Brown, also to Kolesar, with 1:37 left (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmAicgPycMg) to win 34-31 in Columbus

1991: kicked their sorry ass, Hellooooooo Heisman!

1993: ruined their national title hopes, kicked their sorry ass 28-0

1995: Timmy B

1996: I thought we were going to get destroyed, and we were in the first half, but they kept kicking FGs to let us hang around. Then Shawn Springs slips and a simple Griese to Streets slant goes 68 yards for a TD and OSU pees down their leg. 14-9 in Columbus

1997: duh

2003: Really was an ass kicking, game not as close as the final score of 35-21

I regret this now, but I really took the 2011 win for granted. I thought Michigan had turned the tide and was gonna start being osu regularly again. 

Needless to say, almost every Game I have vivid memories of, are losses. I do remember Devin Gardner's performance fondly, besides obviously wishing The Game would've went the other way.

My first OSU game was as a freshman in 1971:

Back when I was 13, we went down to Columbus to play OSU and whipped them 22-0. OSU were not slouches that year they were ranked number 8 and we were ranked number 4. OSU beat us at home the year before. All of OSU was pissed. My uncle went down to the game and got a speeding ticket for going 3 mph over the speed limit on I-75 on his way north.

All the games Michigan has won

I guess I would have to say 2003. I know it was the 100th matchup and Chris Perry was awesome, but I more just remember that Michigan won, not the game itself.

2011 wasn't a very satisfying win for me. I had to listen to most of it on the radio and OSU wasn't that great that year. It was like "okay, cool, can this happen more often now?"

I only remember the 2003/2011 wins. 2011 was a great win - even if OSU was a shell of themselves for that year.

I somewhat remember 2003. Only because we had a flat on the way to the place we were watching the game. We arrived at the start of the 4th quarter.

Every other game I remember had been a loss. More recent, every game has been an awful, horrible, painful loss.

Try having my glorious childhood.  Between the ages of 5 and 20, just 3 total losses to Ohio State.  My first ever memory of an OSU game was as a kindergartner when Harbaugh threw the 70 yard bomb.

So I'd have to say almost my entire childhood into college was my favorite OSU memory. 

I remember what it was like to be excited for this game. 

I remember what it was like to be confident about this game, especially when a Buckeye player would shoot his overconfident mouth off to the media. 

I remember endlessly ripping on OSU when they made t-shirts of the final score celebrating their first victory over Michigan in 7 years.  I told a guy at Cedar Point how lame his shirt was and that if Michigan made an official shirt every time they beat the Buckeyes, my closet wouldn't be big enough to hold them. 

Compare that to now where there is just zero confidence at any time during the calendar year.  It's one thing for the younger fans, who I feel horrible for.  But it's another thing when you're in my shoes and you enjoyed continued success over OSU for such a long time to...nothing. 

Now I'm going to cry.  I need a drink. 

My best memories of Ohio State games were looking forward to them; not backward at the ones we happened to win.

313 yards.

All the ones we won.

1991, 31-3. In my sophomore year, my roommate's dad, who was a Buckeye alum, brought him and some of his buddies to our house on Cambridge Court and bought us beer. Some of the worse fucking beer I've ever imbibed: Cincy Cream Ale and Rhinelander.

Looking back, I think they were punking us as we guzzled the swill (not saying no to free brews and our party ball was tapped - dating myself even more) and all wound up with sour stomachs for the rest of the weekend. 

The game itself was a classic in all the ways that I remember meaningful November football - it was a late Thanksgiving so the game was right before break and winter exams: Party time. Also, it was so gray, but not ridiculously cold like it should be for Big Ten Country! The rout was on from the get and we never worried about the outcome. Our boda bags were full of 7&7 (refilled with Stadium Sprites and asspockets of Seagrams 7 secured at Stadium Liquor on the way down) and my buddy's dad and his retinue were a bunch of angry old men who were only getting the last laugh regarding our bowels. Never in danger of losing and rubbing it in was our only revenge. 

Added bonus for the euphoria was sweeping ND/MSU/OSU despite it being a typical Michigan year of my college days: 10-2 with a Rose Bowl loss. Then on to some serious underage drinking and burgers at Charlies...a lifetime ago, figuratively, and literally. 

I've been to quite a few OSU games, but I'll pick these two:

Sophomore year ('77), we won 14-6.  Michigan gave a tremendous defensive effort.  A bend-but-don't-break defense that stiffened whenever OSU got near the scoring zone.  They created some timely turnovers, too.  One inside M's 10 yard line in the 4th quarter.  We had a great view of Woody punching the ABC camera man.

1985 Harbaugh to Kolesar to ice the game.  Our seats were down low giving us a great view of Harbaugh throwing the pass.  I didn't have to see anything when Kolesar caught it.  The crowd roared.

I feel sorry for fans who were only 8-10 years old in 2008. They're 20-22 years old and have no good Michigan vs OSU memories. May be 2011 for them?

We didn't even win, but Devin Gardner coming out of nowhere and playing near a perfect game against a superior OSU team in 2013 was awesome. 

During the Cooper years, my best friend was an OSU alum, so I got to see a buckeye suffer through their worst times.

The loser would have to make a drink we called a "Cooper Sidecarr", which consisted of whatever dregs were in the liquor cabinet and colored with blue curacao or red grenadine depending upon the loser's color.

1985, freshman year, Harbaugh to Kolesar for 77 yards and the game-sealing TD. My most electric moment ever in the Big House
