You put me in the mood for more tears in the Big House.
The Big 10 Network broadcast starts with Lloyd Carr and Mike Hart "eyeing a national championship". Enjoy.
Speed kills! And The Boys from Boone N.C. (ground zero for fly rod trout fishing) were loaded with it. Great shots of tear-soaked Walmart Wolverines.
Only thing missing was LLoyd Carr sneering after the game while wondering how he was going to explain it to Bo.
That's one way to get the attention of North Carolina royalty.
oh, did I say that out loud?
(#21, by the way)
I saw the end at the old ND Faculty Club (RIP) as my dad and I tried to dry off from the torrential downpour during that day's ND-Purdue game. Note how the Michigan scoreboard did not reflect the winning Colorado TD more than 30 seconds after it was scored. (There was no replay review in those days.)
I had just left our tailgater near Senior Bar wanting to go dry off after the PU game. The last I had heard is that Michigan was up 12 points with about five minutes to go. I had pretty well written off any hope.
Then I jumped in my car and began heading home. I tuned in Jeff Jeffers' postgame show. He was recapping not only our game, but Miami's first home loss (to Washington) in nine years. Jeffers then mentioned that Colorado was down five, but with under a minute to go.
Minutes later, a listener called in and, while on the air, shouted to Jeffers, "Man did you just see that ending to the Michigan game? Wow."
I knew it had to be something good.
and ended up with some college buddies at the cherry cricket
the writing was on the wall and we were finishing up and gonna get the tab when my brother said something like "only flutie can save 'em now"
i've never seen so many full pitchers of beer appear out of no where on a table
we immediately rallied and went late into the night
it might be the only useful moment in Buff football history
Their one half-championship was gifted to them by the refs, against ND, Missouri, and Stanford.
down, down.
Rank your favorite non-ND Big House game ending play.
I will assume this is your favorite Keith Jackson game ending ND at Michigan call ("somebody over the top!!")
