This was the first football game I ever watched. I had just turned 7 years old the month before and was living in Columbus. After Michigan won I became a Michigan fan and have loved them ever since
This game, The Game, was played on what would've been my dad's 60th birthday. I'm man enough to admit, that with 2 minutes left in The Game and there really was no doubt about the outcome, the tears started flowing. I called my mom and I could hear the same emotion in her voice. Tears of happiness as Dad was smiling down
God bless you and your family. The first time my daughter ever saw me cry was when we beat them in 21. She didn't quite know how to feel then, but now she enjoys college football.
I was a 7 year old at this game- my first Ohio State-Michigan game. Reading your post almost made me cry. I have zero doubt your dad was indeed smiling down. Go Blue!
2021 I went through a hell of a year, not quite what you went through....and I made it up to AA for the game...and I remember getting back to my hotel and crying hysterically when they won....its an awesome feeling...God bless you
@codymompher7475 the 21 Game was the first time I was there for a win over OSU. I wanted to storm the field, but I was limited on sunlight as I needed to get to the cemetery to leave my ticket in the cup at ny dad's grave at Michigan Memorial. Never regretted that decision. The ticket is still there
If you had told me when Tressell got hired that this would be one of only two times we'd beat OSU until the 2020's, I would've thought you were insane. Oh how far we've come the last 2 years.
Carr's decision to take a knee before the half made absolutely no sense. Then he was a dick about it to the reporter. His "play not to lose" style cost him a couple of NC's and a lot of close games.. So much talent but coaching held us back at times.
I was at this game. What an amazing day. I was able to meet some of the players after the game. I was disappointed in the way Lloyd Carr responded in the halftime interview. Very unprofessional. Got a 100th Game Jersey and the W. Go Blue
This game right here was why I became a fan of Michigan at the age of 8 (much to my father's dismay cause he's a Buckeye fan) so glad you uploaded it cause it brought back so many memories of my original favorite players like Braylon Edwards, and Chris Perry 🤙😎🤙
All always remember that sports announcer and his voice, i wish i could remember his name, forgive me for that but I loved it when a big Michigan play happened as in one of the biggest plays of all time in Michigan history, the punt return of Charles Woodson and the announcer said "NO FLAGS". It reassured us fans that we didn't have to worry about a flag because every time a big play like that happened i was always worried about a flag right before they were about to score
Llyod Carr taking a knee before the half is what his career was all about... mediocrity... his record against OSU was 6-7, with six straight losses. Bowl record was also 6-7, with a run of four straight losses. Yes he won a NC... with Gary Moeller's seniors. If only they went with Les Miles in 1995 instead of the idiot Carr. What a lost opprotunity.
This was the end of the good times before nearly 2 decades of utter disappointment. Getting rid of Carr was the biggest mistake in Michigan football history. Rich Rod came in and destroyed the program. I think Hoke was a good coach but putting humpty dumpty back together was just too big a task for him. Hell, it took harbaugh 6 years to do it. But it looks like the good times have finally returned. Hopefully they continue to consistently beat Ohio and can win a NC in the near future.
Goosebumps every time watching the intro. There will never be another Keith Jackson.
The voice of my childhood weekends and growing up. He was the best
Isn't that right
The voice of college football

Go Blue! Let’s beat the Buckeyes again this year.
I was there in the back of the endzone on the field. Greatest game memory!

now last 3 years

John Navarre really might be the most disrespected QB in program history but he was a warrior. Fans treated that guy like crap.
At 18:34, that TD from Chris Perry is a spitting image of Blake Corum’s TD after the Zinter injury. Thing of beauty!
GOOOOOOOOO BBLLUUUEEEEE! Definitely one of my favorite memories of "The Game "
Braylen Edwards was one of my if not my favorite wide receiver of my 38 years on this earth

Chris Perry was so damn good definitely in my top 3 favorite Michigan rbs
Man who ever thought this day that it would be our last win in a while before 2011, 2021, and 2022

I can smell a beating this year go blue
Not scary of ohio state football anymore,,
I will never forget that game! It was my first Michigan game at the Big House
Keith Jackson made my middle school and freshman and sophomore years of high school memorable. I miss the early to mid 2000s ABC Sports
My first time at the big house
I was there. My favorite game ever to attend.
I snuck into this game lol
I remember when those without tickets could get into the fourth quarter free...
Edwards was so good at Michigan he was honestly unstoppable.. I can't wait until Michigan has a guy like that again.

What an answer by Lloyd Carr!!!

Lloyd Carr is responsible for ruining the program. He should’ve left after 2003.
@@WolverineDevotee I very much disagree
Chris Perry was a beast
"Whoa, Nelly!!"
This was the game that made me a wolverine😢
You got 1997 Ohio state michigan
NO FLAGS
Why would you ask a question like that?
Lloyd Carr is a 1 of 1
Lloyd Carr still catches flack to this day but he was one hell of a football coach 25:56
ONLY time Yall beat us Buckeyes when Jim Tressel was at OSU lol. #GoBucks #BeatTTUN
It’s been 1,350 days and counting since ohio state beat Michigan.
