This is one of my favorite Mich games of all time. I was at my aunts house with all the family, both my aunt and grandpa are big MSU fans, have had season tickets for as long as I can remember, went to school all that jazz, all in attendance at the house, (my parents went to WMU so they are mutual bystanders and normally root for state and I just go against whatever everyone wanted me to do when I was a kid so naturally I root for Michigan.) I was 14 at the time so just in the prime years of being a Mich fan (when your young and you don’t know anything really about the inter workings of the game but you know you just wanna win.)
My mom had bought me a jersey before the game knowing we were going to the party and I was obviously going to wear it the whole time and take the heckling from the family of course.
The whole game was kinda funny because I remember I was sitting on the floor the whole game and almost the entire time my aunt and grandpa kept giving me shit about Michigan sucking and just the typical teasing you could give a kid. At one point I distinctly remember them saying something to the effect of "oh we will pay you $10 to allow us to write the final score in green on the jersey after the game is over" (this was around the time of the cobb TD run.) I just kept my mouth shut for most of that and was just like yeah yeah whatever. I remember how bitter they got when Stanton (even talked about how pathetic it was that Mich fans were "cheering") got hurt and I was thinking well that could end up being big at some point to myself.
During the comeback I was just going nuts the whole time as you could expect any kid to be like during such an emotional roller coaster ride of a 4th quarter/OT. The whole ending is a blur just with excitement and so much cheering by me and just shock by the family.
After the game I just remember being like oh so can you get that marker out and write the score and I want my 10 bucks type deal, which never happened, as I'm sure you could now imagine. But to this day I still talk about that game and they all deny that they were bragging so much and deny the whole jersey story but I still have that jersey and that is such a great memory I will never forget and just fuels my hatred for Sparty that much more because it was one of those once in a lifetime games you watch and get to enjoy on the winning side. Such a great game that was. I’ll be at the game this weekend with the family all wearing green and white, while I support my maize and blue.

Anyone know when tickets go on sale for the 2017 opener against Florida?
