So you did not see the 1971 game or the 1973 game?

I was just beyond the…

I was just beyond the endzone for that field goal attempt, and it must have missed by less than 3 yds. It really was heartbreaking

The 1971 game was not as…

The 1971 game was not as highly regarded on that list posted, but that was my first game and a great game. That is a game in which Billy Taylor scored with only about two minutes remaining to win it for M.   And Woody Hayes had one of his most famous temper tantrums too

I cannot say that I really enjoyed any one of the game's more since that one. I win in 2018 would change that!

Right margin but lower…

Right margin but lower scoring.  M 24,  NW 3

I don't know if you can…

I don't know if you can reply to your own post, but I would love to get mittens that looked like that.  Or puppets ...

Perhaps Murderwolf should…

Perhaps Murderwolf should get Dave Brandon by the throat.

My congrats to Ace.  This was a great ... really great ... piece of Michigania.  

 

That's Thom Darden, not Tom …

That's Thom Darden, not Tom (though the h is silent)

When he intercepted a pass against Ohio State (I think it was 1971) Woody Hayes went nuts, claiming there was interference.  Woody ripped up the yard marker flags ...  one of his most classic rages

I live just south of Lynden, where Cole (and lots of Bajemas and other Dutch people) lives.  The town sometimes get three out of four state championships (public school, Christian school, boys and girls).  Luke Ridenour, who you mentioned, had a long NBA career, though mostly undistinguished.

Get Cole in the weight room and he will be the real deal.

 

 

 

To Ace from Ace

Ace

As I used to have that nickname I have felt a special kinship to you even though I never met you -- I could not turn away from writing.

Nothing that happens on the field, the court, or the rink compares to what you are going through.  DO go for the alternative treatments.  My wife more or less got a life worth living back from homeopathic medicine, though neither of us would turn away from regular care either.

I too have suffered from depression, though it took 20 years for me to get properly diagnosed and treated.  On the other hand, I cannot imagine CFS, though a combination of arthritis and diabetes (me) if worse might lead me that way.

Mark Twain (at least Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain) said that though he was 70 and in ill health, for at least a short time every day, he felt young.   Find those moments, and stretch them !

PS

Yes, my nickname at Michigan really was Ace.  There were a lot of people who did not know my real first name, though one time my best friend convinced a couple of girls that my real name was Wolfheart Drekleib.  Too long a story ...

 

Freeze Bag

Can you believe it, but as of yesterday, the Ole Miss FB website still referred to him as

"A Mississippi native, an inspirational leader, and one of the nations top football coaches ...."

 

Batting 1 / 3 is not bad in baseball anyway

 

My nickname was Ace back in 1975 ... you can look it up :-)

Helena MT Go Blue

I will be visiting Helena Montana on the same day is the Michigan Ohio State game. If you let me know where you would like to meet, such as at a sports bar, I'd be happy to see it with a loyal Michigan fan !
