After watching this team for 16 consecutive seasons (12 in the top row section 18 row 96, as a kid, and 4 as a Michigan student) I can honestly say I've never been more impressed with a Michigan team. They came out and played their hearts out. The 2011 Under the Lights win will forever be ingrained in my mind as a student, but so much more has happened before (and after) then.Would it have been nice to see them win? Especially after this season? Yes, it would've been awesome. But for the this god damned team to show up against such a big rival and play like that, it honestly made me choke up. I cannot understand it. Maybe its because I was there, as a 12 year old kid for the 2004 MSU game, and a year older for the 2005 Penn State win. And as a High School student when Michigan upset Wisconsin in 2008 and Notre Dame in 2009. Man, god, what nostalgia. I still have all those tickets saved in a box, and will forever keep them. And this is why I love Michigan. Despite the fact we lost, I will put the ticket to this game in my box. I will forever remember this game, and how Gardner played. This is the time we almost ended Ohio State's 23 game win streak despite everyone (admittedly, including myself) saying we'd lose. Buckeye fans might not remember it, but that is aside the point. This is Michigan. I love this team, and this game showed me why I love this (f*ing) team so much. I'm going to miss going to Michigan games next year, but as soon as I am able to get season tickets, I will keep going to these games as long as I can. Good post Ace.
