Jim Harbaugh brought Michigan one punt away from a return to glory and it needs a deep rewind

- Опубликовано: 7 янв 2022
- The fun thing about football is even the simplest moments have a seemingly infinite number of outcomes. When Michigan and Michigan State faced off in 2015 there was always bound to be plenty on the line regardless of circumstances for each side. But the way these school's paths played out for years leading up to this game seemed to force fate to end their showdown with some fireworks. Enjoy.

You can always gauge how incredible a play is by the amount Sean McDonough's voice cracks. On that metric alone this play is an all-timer.
😂😂
Man, I remember standing in front of the TV as neither a Michigan or Michigan State fan, and said out loud to my two brothers "Wouldn't it be funny if the punter dropped the ball?" We lost our collective minds when I predicted the future
Can confirm, flew by on my Unicorn and heard it. (If you're serious that's legit)
That play was just as crazy at that Melvin Gordon fumble that was a 15 point swing in one play.
@@noahfernandes6015 Don't remind me
Thank you for your service
My older brother ( Michigan fan ) looked at my cousin ( state fan ) and said "we win. Unless something stupid like a messed up punt happens, we win"
He then sat there speechless for 5 minutes
I was working at a bar in East Lansing during this game. Customers and staff alike all stopped an collectively held our breath on that play. The eruption and chaos that happened is surely something I will never experience again in my life.
Why did it have to happen to us
May every sports fan have their day
I was actually also at a bar but they turned off the game bc it was over. Imagine my shock when I hear the final
What bar?
Was is Crunchy’s? I bet that place exploded after this.
Watched this game with 15 people in a tiny ass dorm room my freshman year at MSU, one of the best sports memories of my life
I was somewhere on Cornell St. in EL. Could not believe it when I saw it, twas a great day to be a Spartan. Go Green!
As a life-long Michigan fan I was dreading the day you’d make me relive this…
So many memories to forget... As a buckeye... I was embarrassed for you guys during the Rich-Rod years. It was painful even for me to watch. Go Appalachian State!
@@JonLeejw OH-
@@civitasstrategiesearlystar2359 I’m not an Ohio state fan but you saying that shows that you don’t watch the nfl or pay attention to where superstars played
@@JonLeejw lmao michigan clapped you guys this season
@@AspireGMD wh- what’s harbaugh’s record versus ohio state? could you say it louder?
I’ll never forget this play because it was the only play of this game I got to see live. In boarding school in high school we only got tv time on the weekend, for just the briefest of moments I had the remote and managed to turn this game on for literally just this play before the rest of the students wanted it changed (they all hated football). Glad something happened because I felt ultra-vindicated after that haha
Let me guess, east coast boarding school?
@@alejandropelayo9288 yeah lol
This punt happened right in front of me. I was in the few front rows right where it happened
I live in a family of Michigan fans and I’m the youngest and a brother so I literally am a little brother and I’m a state fan so it feels so good to watch things like this
@@Angry-est this is why I went yo one on the west coast
I was wondering when this would get a rewind. 2022 is off to a great start. Thank you Secret Base
I'm still waiting on Cal/Stanford. What more famous play in College Football is there?
Sports rewind is the best. Secret Base's analysis of past domino effects can't be beaten.
Same here, im an msu fan and i have been waiting on this forever
Yeah
What I think this video should've mentioned, right at the end, is that Jalen Watts-Jackson was brutally injured on that play and had to be taken to the hospital immediately after. Really contextualizes how hard he worked for that touchdown.
@@A.B.421 he said it happened on the play
Yeah I wish the deep dives did a little for after the events and what happen to some of the participants
He was injured from his teammates piling on top of him in the end zone
@@gabrielbenson9137 Nope, from the tackle.
@@gabrielbenson9137 You can see him grimacing and throwing the ball in pain right after he gets tackled
Being a MSU Fan this was one of the best moments of my life honestly
The worst being that doctor... What was his name?
@@theotherdude1998 You're thinking of Robert Anderson. Glad I could help 😊
kinda sad that isn’t of your LIFE
I caught a bus to EL immediately and watched the celebratory havoc ensue.
Strangers hugging strangers and high fiving.
"He has trouble with the snap, and the ball is free! It's picked up by Michigan State's Jalen Watts-Jackson, and he ScOrEs! On the last play of the gAmE!"
One of my favorite calls ever.
UNBELIEVABLE!
Sadly they don't show us all the sad Wolverine fans after! Their pain is what sustains me! ;)
the voice crack makes 10x better
Have the entire thing memorized, I listen to it at least 10 times a year
It seriously blows my mind how much material SB Nation has made just on Jim Harbaugh's life.
Am I missing some inside joke about Harbaugh? I keep hearing all these sarcastic comments from analysts whenever they discuss him and coaching rumors.
@@deanbenford7363 No, no, no. I'm not being sarcastic at all. I'm a 49ers fan, and SB Nation has so many videos on Jim Harbaugh. His beef with Carroll and Richard Sherman, this rewinder, the 49ers Collapse. I find it so astonishing how many things they make about him alone.
@@uncreative5766 gotcha
As an MSU fan this moment fills me with unbridled joy
As an osu fan this also fills me with joy
Go green baby!
They spared us Michigan fans by making this video now and not before lol
A botched punt that led to a loss, couldn't have happened to a more worthy team. Go Green
56-7 btw
Given all the talk about MSU's kicking woes, a deep rewind of the Geiger's game winning kick vs OSU in this same season would be great
I remember watching this live what a time to be a state fan
Tuck Comin
Ohio native and lifelong Buckeyes fan here. This moment is top three all-time CFP moments for me. That shot of the stunned Michigan fan will never not fill me with joy; it's a shame the clip didn't extend long enough to see it in this video!
Out of sheer curiosity, what are your other 2 plays? I'd imagine Juice Williams in 07 is one of them😂
I was having my birthday party during this game, I heard they were winning and turned it on (because I wanted to watch them win) just in time to watch this play. Ruined my whole birthday, thanks harbaugh.
Not Harbaugh's fault on that one. You can blame his coaching shortcomings for a lot of what's happened during his tenure, but I'm not too sure about this one.
@@charlesmassie6775 MSU had everyone at the LOS, but UM had a gunner standing at the top of the screen blocking no one and doing nothing. Harbaugh shares responsibility.
I’ll always remember where I was for this play. About a dozen friends of mine had commandeered an apartment complex’s lounge to watch the stream on a big projector. It was on about a 45 second delay, and absolutely everyone was miserably awaiting the year of mockery that was ahead of us. We turn our attention to the screen to watch the U of M kicker seal our fate when one of the girls reads out a text she’d received “DID YOU SEE WHAT JUST HAPPENED???” And then we saw the biggest miracle unfold. There was so much screaming and running and hugging you would’ve thought we’d just heard we won World War 2. The long walk home in EL was amazing too, people running through the streets, dancing, you could hear shouting of GO GREEN about 20 times a minute. A day to remember, certainly.p
Pretty good. The one addition I might have made would have been the yardage stats in the game. MSU had a big yardage advantage, but a huge part of that was because Michigan's punter had been elite most of the game. It's one of the real ironies of that game
As a current msu student this is so satisfying to see a moment like this cemented in secret base history
I was sitting in front of the tv watching this with my Michigan fan dad, me being a spartan fan, and he was in the process of saying “whelp, better luck next year” as that play happened… best sports moment I’ve ever seen
I remember crying right before this play and then I went so crazy after. Wow
@@j2398 I was thinking the same thing
As an Ohio state fan, this highlight is one I visit religiously on RUclips. So glad I got to see it live.
It just happened but you guys HAVE TO do a rewind sometime on the Chargers-Raiders Week 18 SNF tie and they’re both in the playoffs scenario and how low the odds were of this happening, how Jacksonville upset the Colts, Steelers beat Ravens in OT, Herbert’s crazy heroics to tie the game and how Steeler fans were so nervous in OT. There’s so many storylines to rewind with this video, how the Raiders made the playoffs for just the 2nd time since 2002 with a mid season coaching change from the Gruden situation, as well as the crimes of Ruggs and Damon Arnette. Big Ben potentially playing his final game ever if a tie occurred and how the Raiders chose to send Pittsburgh to the playoffs instead of their hated division rivals by choosing to kick the FGs. This game and crazy 1st ever week 18 would be PERFECT to make a deep rewind video on! I love this channel so much, hope y’all see this keep it up
Man I remember sitting in my dorm freshman year with my roommate and his girl just being so down about the game but then the punt gets blocked all you can hear is noise throughout the building. An all time college memory for year. Many couches were burned in Cedar Village that night lol
About half my group ran IMMEDIATELY to Cedar Village to celebrate, I can’t believe how crazy that moment was. Will always be a highlight of my college time
@@MostLikelyMortal lowkey when we beat them two years later and paraded in a mob around from cedar all the way down to the Statue and stadium might top it for me.
This was extremely well done. This game marked the end of my die-hard sports Fandom. It's like an addict becoming sober. I have my Saturdays back
As an Ohio State fan, i loved this ending. I remember my dad trying to turn off the TV because he said the game was over. I told him to let the clock run out because anything could happen, the rest is history.
If Michigan just gets that punt off, Ohio State wins the East regardless of the Michigan State loss, they go to the Big Ten title game and probably the playoff to defend their title
This play kept them out of the playoff
@@rcp8069 in that moment it was worth it
@@rcp8069 We would have gotten smacked like MSU did and like we did in 2016 against clemson. Instead we got the rose bowl
@@doodlebop2472 In the moment, absolutely. They had no business losing to MSU anyway, so it's whatever. Just a funny coincidence. Same year, similar to the wild Arkansas 4th and forever lateral against Ole Miss in OT. If that doesn't happen, Ole Miss wins the SEC West and Bama doesn't make the playoff to win it.
As an MSU and Chicago Bears fan, these last two uploads have been a real roller coaster
Imagine being a bears and Michigan fan
Now that's a real double doink.
@@raistlin037 damn that was good lol
@@alyssamova7388 im a Bears and Wisco fan. Not much different.
This was the craziest moment I’ve ever seen live by far
Just a suggestion. Msu vs Osu from that same year where msu played with 2 backup qbs and won on a walk off field goal. Seems a fitting follow up to this video.
That’s season was 🔥
Wow, damn this is still painful. This year felt like a dream, but I'm not ready to watch this yet.
This was an amazing day for me as a spartan fan. Specially cause my uofm loving brothers were at the game and had to witness this in person
Was at this game as a senior at MSU with two friends who all went to Pioneer right across the street! Go Green!
God bless you, Secret Base. I remember this moment fondly as a Spartan fan. I screamed my lungs out after this moment and my voice didn’t recover for days. It was all worth it, though.
Should definitely do more Michigan rewinds 👍🏻 great work as always, even as a (sad) Michigan fan
Ahhh all these reminds just scream how much it sucks to be a Michigan football fan in the last 2 decades lol
As a michigan state student, rewinds of this game bring me happiness.
Been waiting six years for this one, most satisfying game I’ve ever watched.
I remember watching this game with my family and we went absolutely nuts and spent the next hour rewinding it and rewatching while we celebrated
Michigan State will literally always have this, no matter what happens in the future between them and Michigan. It was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.
I will never forget watching this unfold live…
That was my first game at the big house and I can remember that moment vividly. It was crazy how we all just sat there in stunned silence, just moments after celebrating as if we won the game.
Every time I watch this play, a contented little smile spreads, involuntarily, across my face. It is truly poetry. And you guys didn't even show the best part which is that Michigan fan with his hands on his head in utter disbelief
My dad was a Michigan fan. I go to Middle school then. I’m now an Iowa Student. I remember that pain
That was such an epic moment.
I watched this live and it still hurts
II'll say thats some of the best narration for a Rewinder episode I've heard in a while. Great stuff!
I was watching this home alone on streaming so it was a few seconds delayed, I could hear neighbors screaming just before and knew something good must have happened. So glad to have finally caught a moment like that (more or less) live, even better it was my team of choice on the positive end of it.
As an MSU fan I’ve been waiting for this video for sooooo long!!!
The thing I remember most about this is the Michigan fan holding his head in shock after the play.😂
Best sporting moment of my Michigander life.
I don't think I'll ever forget just staring blankly for about 5 mins and wonder what the hell just happened..
Thank you for finally uploading another college football rewinder, keep them up!!
I’m so happy that whatever game I was watching ended and I just happened to turn the channel to this game just in time to see this play live. This was literally the only play that I saw.
Secret Base I am once again asking for a rewinder on Patrick Kanes Stanley Cup OT winner against Philly. Thanks for all the work yall do
Honestly any hockey content would be appreciated. To me I’m waiting for them to do a rewinder on Fluery’s last second save in the 09 Finals, not even a Pittsburgh fan I just think that’s a moment that needs rewinding.
@@godbobo9162 Agreed more hockey. A great hockey one would be Paul Henderson for Canada Series winner against the Soviets in 72' Summit Series.
Thank you Mike Hart. Pride comes before the fall and it’ll never be over
2021 big ten champs lol
@@nolansthompson8984 and yet you still lost to us lmao
@@nolansthompson8984 37-33 this year and have only beaten us 4 time in the last 14 years and we have as many playoffs spree ends while also having more big ten championships in that time and more ny6 and bowl victories and wins in general but by all means be celebrate this year when in reality you had the same season msu had in 2015. Glad to see you guys finally catching back up
Both teams showed pride in this video. Why that phrase continues on I'll never know
As a buckeye fan, no player scared me more than little Mike Hart... He was a beautiful thing to watch carry the ball... Best balance I've ever seen in my life.
I wasn't at either school during the Appalachian State upset, but at another Big Ten school (Indiana), I was at their game that night when we heard the news. Indiana, of course, is a basketball school, not a football school, so anything we can get, we take. Several loud cheers erupted during that moment.
The call was tremendous, as well. Love it.
All time classic play/game, but I had forgotten some of the broader context. Nice rewind!
Omg I remember this play and was so happy!!!
Honestly was not expecting to see a Deep Rewind of this but I love you so much for it. One of the best sports calls ever. Literally felt like a 0.00001% chance of it playing out like this.
I love you so much Secret Base. I need this today
And Geiger went on to hit the winning field goal against OSU!
I remember this play like it was yesterday. I hate Michigan football and was so upset about the game, but I was just getting ready to tweet "congrats" to Harbaugh for bringing that program back from the dead. The inner Spartan in me had seen them do the impossible against Ohio State in the Big Ten title game and the Cotton bowl in the previous two seasons, but I thought it was over. Then the play happened and I was in utter disbelief. It was truly one of those "do you believe in miracles" sports moments for me. Spartans got the win, Wolverines still got most of the hype moving forward and the rest as they say is history
I still don't think I've seen another game end anywhere near this way
I know it was in the NFL and it was over 40+ years ago, but the original Miracle at the Meadowlands is basically similar to this.
@@tevinsherrill5653 I'll need to look into that, thanks
Kick 6
Gotta love how great the blocks were from Michigan lol. Pretty sure not 1 MSU player was touched before they got the ball
It was mainly because state sent the house to block it. Its why on the original broadcast the color commentator mentions the punter needs to just kick the ball immediately because the line won't hold up for a normal pubt before the botched the snap
Such a consistency good channel I appreciate what you do thanks for the entertainment
I will never tire of seeing that clip
I watched that game live and it made me feel about the same as I did when the Patriots Malcolm Butler made the interception that changed that game outcome. and the look Richard Sherman had. It matched the faces of Harbaugh and the Michigan fans. I enjoyed the RUclips videos of the Seattle fans they recorded while watching at their homes and bars. the Michigan defeat was so good for me because since 1963 I've hated the Wolverines. I lived in Ann Arbor 1963 and attended the Navy-Michigan game, with Roger Staubach QB for Navy. He have won the Heisman the year before and he was known as Roger the Dodger. He ran around alluding he superior U.M. players and would either get a 1st down running around in circles it seemed or throwing for a gain. He was dominating the game. Until a U.M. linebacker who got tired of chasing Roger hit him way out of bounds after a scramble and drove Staubach into the bench. The 15 yard penalty was rewarded by a hamstring or heel injury bad enough to limit Roger the Dodger the Roger the statue , where Michigan dominated Navy. Ruining a very entertaining game. I moved to Utah after that and have be a Utes football fan and it has be fun to have beat the Wolverine every time we've played them.
In the early 00s, there was a Monday night football game, new england at Denver that really established brady as a Broncos fan. Down 3 in the final minutes, the pats gave up a safety instead of punting, flipping field position in hopes their D could get the stop and the ball for brady and the go a head. It deserves something because I've never seen anything like it and can't find anything about it anywhere.
One of your best ones yet.
I’d love to get reminders on more vintage plays! Like the immaculate reception maybe? Or the great Willie mays catch.
I listen to this call by Sean McDonough at least 10 times a year. One of the most entertaining moments/calls in sports history IMO
As someone who didn't know this play but watch your video. I was not expecting THAT!!! That is tragic.
As an MSU fan I've never screamed at my TV so loud than as during this play.
I have been waiting years for this video! THANK YOU SO MUCH! GO GREEN
This was one of the greatest moments of my life
As bears fan and an Ohio st fan thank you for doing this one right after the double doink 🙏 it eases the pain just a bit
I love when they do an episode making fun of the wolverines
It’s been a rough week watching sb nation for a Bears and Michigan fan
9:10 the score already says 27 23
I LOVED this moment
This video was great! Favorite moment of spartan football
I watched this at Akers Hall at Michigan State in a lecture hall with about 200 other students… one of my absolute most favorite memories from MSU!
We need a rewind on LJ Scott’s touchdown run against Iowa for the Big 10 championship this same season.
I remember being in the basement getting ready for us to go to family dinner and seeing that happen. Never forget that moment
I was in tears...Then I wasn't... Probably the fastest emotion change of my life. Remember it like it was yesterday.
Rewinder idea: Pete "Who Do You Think You Are? I Am!" Weber winning the 2012 US Open of bowling by one pin with a walk-off strike
thank you. after losing this year, i needed this.
That voice crack by the commentator was great I wish more of them would show emotion on that level (English speaking commentators)
These are always well-written and narrated, but this one seemed especially so. Beautifully done!!
I’m a current msu student, who had the pleasure to see the last game between these two teams (thanks K9). Multiple times during the game, the big screen on the scoreboard would show a group people in the stands holding a flag that pictured this now infamous 4th and 2 play. The whole place erupted each time, making the game that much better. Needless to say, this play us Spartans will be enjoying for the rest of our lives. Go green!
This is what I have been waiting for. Thank you.
I can quote the entire radio call from memory and I will never forget it.
WOAH
HE
@@iamathousandapples HAS TROUBLE WITH THE SNAP
I don’t know if this video has a Michigan bias, anti-big ten bias, anti-non-superpower bias, or is just fitting some of the trolly, light hearted atmosphere of the traditional secret base vid. This really undersells Mark Dantonio’s role in the big ten from 2010-2015, and undermines his program building as a whole. All good, though, the real ones know. Still thankful you revisited the moment.
I can't believe that it's going on 7 yrs since this happened. Seems like it happened a yr or 2 ago.
That never gets old
As an MSU fan, I've been waiting for this.
(And this season Michigan's one loss was against their "Little brother", and Michigan got pounced on by Georgia in the college football playoffs)
Just wondering, how many points did MSU score in the playoffs that year...?
@@araaa2855 no thanks
@@sosexyimsexy1673 yea im young
@@MasterDBChief i dont think they made it this year. and also i dont think i was born or cared about football at that time.
@@noahbeck3155 uhh what?
MSU did make the playoffs that year. Peep the final score: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Cotton_Bowl_Classic_(December)
You weren't born / didn't care about MSU all the way back in... 2015? Are you under 7 years old?
PURE PAIN
I’m a bears and a Michigan fan these last two videos have been brutal
I’ve been waiting for this rewind. As a MSU fan since I was born, I can say this play will forever be one of the most joyful moments of my life. Can’t lie tho you did us a lil dirty, MSU has pretty much dominated Michigan since Dantonio was hired.
I got to meet Sean McDonough in person once and told him how I almost missed seeing this live. The TV was already on and I was walking by to get something and came upon the final play by chance.
