The Time Tom Brady Upset #5 Alabama
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- In the 2000 Orange Bowl the #8 Michigan Wolverines took on the #5 Alabama Crimson Tide. The Tide jumped out on top early, with Shaun Alexander scoring twice. This wasn't too much for Brady though. In the second half he would later on tie it up at 28. On the first play of overtime he would throw a touchdown, followed by a critical extra point. Alabama would score on their drive but then missed the point after. Michigan would win the game 35-34, Brady finished 34-36 for 369 yards and four touchdowns.

When someone asked Tom Brady what the thing he was most proud of he didn’t mentioned being a multiple Super Bowl MVP. He said his greatest honor was being named Captain of the Michigan football team by his teammates.
Hail yeah
Being from his hometown, we have an odd mix of lovers and haters. I don't have much opinion about the man, but whenever people bash him, I make sure to ask if they know who Tim Rattay is
@@jefft5824 Tim Rattay could sling it in College. He went to LA Tech right?
@@bruceevert1655 Yeah, I suppose. But a local guy from a power 5 conference with that great of a w/l record wasn't appealing for the 49ers somehow...
This is the biggest lie. He threw 30 touchdowns in 4 years. Nobody thought he was any kind of team captain
Shaun Alexander, Alabama's running back in this game, had an extremely successful NFL career and ranks 8th all time in rushing touchdowns. His career *ended* 14 years ago.
Tom Brady was last year's Super Bowl MVP.
I literally paused the video was he scored his third TD and said to myself, "And where is he now in comparison to Brady?" No shade. One hell of a ball player but it is funny to listen to the commentators shill for the Red Tide so hard XD
@@nerdvananorth2905 Its physically near-impossible to have anything close to a career like Brady's in the NFL in any position that's not QB, let alone RB. Comparing apples to oranges.
He set many records and won many awards in the NFL. 8 season, five of which were very productive, is far better than average for a running back. And where is he now? He's sitting on an 8 figure fortune so doing alright.
RBs die at the age of 30
yeah i mean no shit when you get hit on every play youre gonna have a short career lol
He came back from 28-14. The world wasn't ready for 28-3 back then.
I was 12 years old when this game happened. Now my daughter is 12 years old.
& Brady is still playing Football LOL
Not only is he still playing but hes the best player on the planet
You had kids too young fam
@@Peter-nu8st Eh, 20 isn’t the worst I’ve seen, but good for them!
I wasn’t even alive during this game and Brady is still playing.
I was not existent for 3 more years when this game aired. I’m 18 now
If Brady can play the '22-'23 season he could conceivably play with or against the sons of some of the guys from this 2000 game. That is impressive career stamina.
I mean, he already won a Super Bowl with the son of Antoine Winfield, a player he competed against I think 7 times from 2001 to 2010. Winfield was drafted in 1999, so it's not too far apart from some of these college guys.
he might be playing when his son gets there.
Alexander wasn't even a senior, had a great NFL career, retired 10 years ago, and this Brady guy is still taking snaps, still winning.
Hard to argue with winning
The son of Asante Samuel is in the league now, and his dad was a player that I believe was drafted by the Patriots after Brady.
Checked. Dad was drafted in 2003, and the son is now playing for the Chargers to put that into perspective. xD
Or daughters.
Brady was awesome in that game...but so was Terrell. What an amazing combo!
NFL draft scouting report: Tom Brady is a good mid to late round pick. He has the potential of being a solid backup quarterback in the league. Not projected as a starter.
The irony of that report is so funny.
Word was Tom did not have the arm strength, so teams went on about their business drafting other quarterbacks Pennington, Carmazzi, Redmond, Martin, Bulger, and Wynn. Not sure what their arm strength was.
@@ericscottstevens I know.. Tom looked like he had plenty of arm strength in this game. He was zipping it down the field.
@@robertb4432 nah not really...accurate..definitely not a cannon
@@ericscottstevens brady always had decent arm strength but his touch has no peer
The fact that I keep subconsciously thinking the commentary is fake really speaks to how authentic the old NCAA Football PS2 games used to be
Lol
Ohhhhhhhh…you just slammed me with a literal ton of feels! 🥺 All of those weekends spent with my boys playing NCAA…Fuck.
I still own and play my ps2. The game I play right now is ncaa football 2006. I still really enjoy the game
I miss this sound and type of announcing it sounded so cheesy but awesome at the same time.
Omg was thinking the same at the beginning! So true
My father, who has passed away, once predicted during Brady's time at Michigan that he would become an excellent NFL quarterback, citing his height, powerful arm, and intelligence. He took great pride in his accurate prediction, and until his last days, he often inquired about Tom Brady's performance.
The more you watch football the more you actually get an understanding of what makes a good player. People often get to mixed up looking at stats, and don’t actually look at the player themselves as an all around player.
Only was due to the fact that he had a team not a great team but a well balanced team for most of his career and if not you would not hear about him in the NFL.
God Bless your Father. He was a wise Man. Go Blue!
@@Fusion05wow we've been doing it wrong the whole time. We need to actually look at them and of course we'll know they can hang with the best of the best.
Plenty pass the eye test, but can't do it. It's so hard to predict. Who passes your eye test going into the draft?
@@JS-st9gs gonna focus on QB for now, think that's who you meant.
I don't see a ton of potential this year, however there are a couple of guys I like assuming they go to the draft.
Jayden Daniels seems to have a great chance at being the best in the class. He's got good arm strength, he's 6 foot 4 inches, 210lbs. He has great speed and over all agility. His accuracy seems to be incredible, although that could be the WRs he has. He covers the ball very well when he takes off which isn't seen as much as you'd think. The big con is he takes some huge hits. If he can learn when to save himself and when to lay it on the line, he'll be a great QB.
Quinn Ewers is also great. Not as fast as Daniels from what I've seen, but pretty much has everything else.
Besides those 2 I'm not super impressed
I know this is a Tom Brady video, but damn Shaun Alexander was a monster in this game for Alabama. 2 legends in the making right here.
One retired 14 years ago.
One could win his 7th superbowl this year.
@@timgreen3588 Your point being what exaxtly?
@@timgreen3588one is an rb who physically cant play to 90 years old or whatever tom was when he retired
idk why the hell I just replied to a 2 year old comment but theres no point in me deleting my reply so whatever
@@timgreen3588look up the average nfl running back career span. Alexander far exceeded that. If you don’t understand football don’t comment on a football video dimwit
@@scranemdranem336 truly a moment
Man this was the golden era of college football, late 90’s to 2012ish. Rivalries and Bowl Games meant way more than they do now.
The golden era was long before the late 1990s. Unless you meant 1890s, then I'll allow it.
Same for basketball. Mj, magic, bird, shaq entering league, malone and Stockton etc etc. NBA now sux.
The Schembeckler vs Hayes was epic
Yeah was just a thrill to watch a bowl game where a starting QB threw 30 touchdowns in 4 years. What a time to live in.
@@curnys4 more to football than just passing with no defense allowed
How he didn’t get drafted until the 6th round is almost incomprehensible. He was by far the most accomplished QB in this draft class. I’m convinced the way he looked with his shirt off at the combine is what did it as insane as that sounds.
And his poor physical skills, he was slow and lacked a powerful arm. It would be logical not to draft Brady high because it seemed he lacked much upside. However, the choice that really confuses me would be Spergon Wynn, he had a rocket arm but had such terrible stats and it seems obvious he would never be cut out for NFL play.
@@questingfish7498 - Lacked upside? He was the most accurate, most successful QB coming from the biggest college. Look at Mac Jones destroy all the other “athletic” quarterbacks from the draft. Playing QB is 99% about the brain and 1% about athleticism.
The only people who say this stuff are people who actually know nothing about college football
@@questingfish7498 because physical ability is a talent you can't just buy
@@questingfish7498 lacked a powerful arm?? Tom Brady has a cannon
It's crazy watching Tom Brady play in a college bowl game 20 plus years ago and this man is still playing in the NFL winning Superbowls in his 40's. Mean while those players on either team are probably grandpa's watching Tom Brady on Sunday
The “and he hooks up with the freshman!” call made me smile
sweet home Alabama
@@harrywang6792 but they aren’t siblings
@@user-bv5gj3ez5e You can ever be sure in Alabama.
@@harrywang6792 What ever Wang!
Huh
Let’s see… perfect footwork, cycling through reads, superb accuracy, pocket presence, good drive on the ball. I can see why (almost) nobody in the NFL could tell he’d be good
Poppycock. Tom is below average in most quarterback abilities. He's allowed to win because it's scripted entertainment.
If teams played real football and didn't follow a script the NFL would gradually become a far less entertaining product for most of the fans.
Many games would be blow-outs with no 4th quarter suspense. Some games would be very low-scoring and lack the thrills of offensive fireworks.
And it would be impossible to deliberately arrange the point-spreads. The 100 billion dollars being gambled every NFL season would be inaccessible to team owners, their families and mob-friends.
The best players would be random if the games weren't scripted. No more charismatic, beautiful movie stars who always win. Some of the game's best players would be downright ugly and mean.
Take, for example, the Women's NBA...a basketball league that attracts only a small audience. In Chicago this week, the WNBA championship team got a parade. But very few people seemed to attend. Mostly empty streets greeted the tall ladies.
But what if the WNBA decided to become more popular? Here's what they'd need to do: Begin searching the college teams for the most physically attractive young women. Make sure that these fine young ladies are drafted into the WNBA. Coach the teams to allow these gorgeous ladies of basketball to score and win most of the time.
As the game's premiere faces became more beautiful, more fans would be attracted to the sport. Of course, these lovely women wouldn't really be the best players...but for the good of the WNBA they would win and become marketable stars.
A similar thing exists in women's figure skating. At times this sport achieves immense popularity with the public. Why? Because it's not exactly a real sport.
Figure skating is judged. The winner is subjective. This allows the most beautiful skaters to get the highest marks from the judges. You end up with a bevy of ice-skating beauties who attract lots of eyes to the sport. Are they really the best figure skaters? ah-HAHAHAAH! Not even close!
There's homely women that could jump and skate circles around these sexpots. But the sport would be quickly ignored by the public if they became the stars.
Every NFL team is really just one team. They all win the Super Bowl as long as the league is making billions in profit.
A lot like Cade McNamara.
According to Belichick, Brady wasn’t on anyone’s radar specifically because he was never the starter for Michigan. The Michigan head coach always started that other dude before him, who would put Michigan in the hole, then the coach would put Brady in who would bring the team back up from behind for the win.
Belichick said he kept Brady on his board because he was so impressed with how Brady could always bring them back from defeat to snag the victory, and he did it from behind every time. But he assumed Brady must be difficult to coach, otherwise why would anyone ever not start him? They saw he was still available in the sixth, so they snatched him up.
No one ever even once considered that maybe the Michigan head coach was just an absolute moron.
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124Lloyd Carr a moron? Sheesh that's harsh 😂
@@mr.doctorcaptain1124 I feel like all of that could've been easily figured out with a 30 second conversation with either Brady or the coach.
His accuracy is off the charts. His o-line always seems to block just enough for him to make the throw. His receivers catch the ball and make that extra step, twist or juke without everything getting called back for a holding call. He's great and has this ability to make others great around him. It's magic--and it keeps happening year after year. Glad he played for my Wolverines.
Yea..Bradys collage percentage was 60%
The year he won his first superbowl he improved 1%
Then when he went on his first 3 siperbowls it went to almost 72%
Not magic ,pure hard work and determination to prove should have been drafted in the first round ,not 6th
But did he ever piss in a radiator?
@@judynichols2904 Yeah I'm sure you would surmise in the year 1999 that he has pure hard work and determination, more than the other 130 FBS QB's that will set him apart to be an all time legend. Nobody knew this. You can't know this at the time. Hindsight is 20/20 and those that say they know he'd be the all time GOAT if they were back in 1999 without knowledge of his future are full of cow maneur.
You can watch this game and you can see Tom Brady’s competitive spirit. The dude never gives up…. The same spirit that he carries to the NFL to this day. I watched this game live on TV back in 2000 and was happy for Tom Brady after seeing what he went thru at Michigan as backup QB and never got his due. Little did I know back then that I was staring at the GOAT that day who would go on to become one of the greatest.
The comment feed screams "I've never watched college football. I just know Tom Brady"
The best
I was watching the game with one of my college buddies. When Bama lined up for the extra point in OT he turned and looked at me and said "they are going to miss".
@@jaelmore6456 I sound like I'm aware of college football😂 you can tell people who only watch NFL on this feed.
@@jaelmore6456 you can't argue because you didn't and don't watch college football. His stats were not good and there's no argument for it
The kicker that missed the extra point is Ryan Pflugner. He didnt go on to the NFL, but rather became a very well respected orthopedic surgeon. In a way, that missed kick made the world a little bit better.
Good to hear. That had to hurt.
‘The helmet’s gone’. That would have been a 15 year penalty and the game might have seen a different result if they were playing today’s rules…. Plus the shoulder pads would have been smaller. 😂😂😂
@jygb7092 I do not have the answer to that. My guess is that he was in college for that purpose regardless, and that the opportunity to go onto the NFL fell through (perhaps in part due to this miss).
No, that was his plan the whole time. You can't bank on going to the NFL. Less than 1% do. @jygb7092
Watching him roll out, I can honestly say he has not lost a step.
it's crazy. His poise and everything looks exactly the same. The one thing he knew then that he has always done is how he uses his weapons properly in order to create space for other receivers. Just mind fucks the secondary.
😂
can't lose a step when you never had one to begin with XD
@@oldfrend So very true. Love Tom, but let's face it, he's not a speedster.
And a rocket for an arm....and receivers never lost a step when catching a pass from Brady!!!
Love watching these player's playing with and vs. Brady that are long retired while he still out here winning Super Bowls. 🐐
Patrick Mahomes wasn't even in Kindergarten when this game was played.
"Accepting the loss from his future-kid's future-partner's father, ..."
ikr Dhani Jones, Shaun Alexander?
Is Charles Woodson in this game?
@@davidharper8500 no.
I was there! The best game I’ve ever been to, hands down. As a Michigan fan, it was awesome leaving the stadium and yelling “Go Blue” and watching all the seething Bama fans 😢
I was there too. My son was in his mamas belly there too. I cried tears of joy at the end of this game. It was such a great game!
What about the other Michigan- Bama games? :). Doubt you were as happy. Ironic that the next game will be Bama vs. Michigan in the college football playoff.
BLUE SUCKS😊
Are you happy about the recent Michigan-Bama game? :) @@morehamsandwich
😊😊😊
Sorry if already said, but I love how the Bears watched the tape of this game and said . . . get me that Michigan WR and RB, not the QB
Every team thought that.
i mean that wr was making plays
They both played another year at michigan and went in the draft after Brady . So they probably didn't even watch this film.
@@coreytumulty816 The RB Howard was clearly going to be trash , though, due to his lack of any burst. I remember laughing when Cleveland drafted that idiotic , gangly guy Wynn JUST because he could move a bit. Brady clearly had been overthought due to his beer belly and other measurables. He just fired bullets and stayed cool under pressure. I was lucky enough to find a couple of his cards in that awful 2000 class, while looking for Pennington and others. Now, Zack Wilson (aka Dutchboy) is going to bring the pendulum back to give the JETS THE NEXT GOAT. YOU HEARD IT HERE. BETTER THAN MAHOMES. GET TO THE BOOKIE NOW.
@@coreytumulty816 As a Bears fan, I can admit that you're probably right. Our drafts have stunk for the last 25-30 years.
This Michigan QB looks promising, he might make a good NFL career.
Nah I doubt it
Gonna be a bust
@@sambellware5810 most likely lmao.
He’ll hold a clipboard, nothing more.
I bet he not going to win any super bowls either.
Terrell after doing some research was the 8th pick in the 1st round by the Chicago Bears. He retired with 1,602 NFL recieving yards and 9 Touchdowns
Yeah, he didn’t pan out with Da Bear unfortunately. I can’t blame him though. He had some awful QB’s throwing to him. I think 2004 was DT’s best year in the League.
Alexander went 19th in the 2000 draft
probably says more about the Bears
@@lukewormholes5388 No, Terrell just sucked. He dropped a million passes, he tried out for several other teams and they all cut him.
Dont forget about his teammate Anthony Thomas. When did A Train get drafted?
Watching his drop back, accuracy and arm strength...he was the most underrated QB in history.
I think people started underrating Tom's arm when Charlie Weiss wouldn't let him throw deep often. That was an overthrow habit that Charlie wanted to cure, not lack of arm strength. People are basically clueless with stats like average completion and if it's short they think he can't throw deep, and DUH, it must be arm strength. Tom has plenty of arm even today. Maybe more since he has refined his mechanics relentlessly and improved leg strength.
Anyone who watched Patriots 2007 season knows that Brady had a deep ball as good as anyone. Randy Moss baby!
@@WilliamFisher1 that Brady/Moss combination was lethal. I still preferred the method of spreading the ball around, but who could argue that it was history in the making? They were defeated up front by the Giants, which goes to show you why the Bucs also were so successful. No matter who your WRs are, or how fast they are, or how historic they are, they are worthless when your QB is on his arse.
@@zeppelinmexicano Well to be fair, they lost on a miracle catch 😁
@@WilliamFisher1 and a miracle drop by Asante. That's when you know it's not your day, huh? Shite happened.
I remember they kept benching Brady for the golden boy Drew Henson and Brady kept saving the day.
Henson was the better athlete. Brady was the way better quarterback.
@@charlesstuart7290 funny because that's the same comparison throughout his whole career. Yeah, some guys are better athletes but the QB position isn't just physical talent. Way more to the position then that.
That was tough to watch week in and week out. It was so obvious that Henson was favorite of the coaching staff. Yet, all Tom did was come in and bail them out each time.
And he still plays like he has a chip on his shoulder
@@Rockyinlp actually Henson wasn't favored, he was just hyped as the best highschool QB out of michigan and personally recruited by a michigan legend Bo Schembechler. Carr actually named Brady the QB for rest of season in '99 which caused Henson to threaten to transfer.
I’m still watching this video years and years later …he’s now retired ugh….what a dedicated leader …Congrats again on your career Tom …character among all others and true love to all of your teammates and coaches and especially your family !!! God Bless and Go Blue!!!
Damn! You've watched it a lot! I just watched it this one time.
That was year Y2K. Drove from Pensacola to Miami..Nobody had ever heard of Tom Brady..The Michigan fans warned us of his comeback reputation..
Its still mind-blowing that he was drafted so late, he looks like hes got a cannon in this game. And some things never change, Alabama had a terrible kicker lol
His passes are accurate but not hard in this one, seems he got a lot of help in this one with some crazy yac from Terrell
Don't put it all on the kicker. Number 41 got torched twice due to poor tackling. Win as a team loose as a team and I am a Bama graduate. This was my junior year. Still proud!
Nothing more synonymous than Alabama and loosing nailbiters because of kicking.
It's because he was not a good college QB at all.
Oh that Alabama kicker!!!!🤣🤣🤣👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I love how Tom always used the TE for the mismatch ability that position can have.... He has always taken advantage of that!! Nice throwback footage there, thank you RSH!
It only went for 6 yards but any good football fan can appreciate how insanely athletic Terrells move at 7:52 was. That was stopping on a dime and accelerating past the defender. Criminally underrated
09:09 too
while watching I looked it up and was sad to learn he didn't have a successful pro career
It has always amazed me how Brady was drafted so low after his performance in this game. The leadership and desire he showed, the will to win, it was all there on display. Others have commented too on his already very solid mechanics. Good old NFL, though: "Yeah, but he looks like crap with his shirt off, so...nope". The NFL combine is a shortcut for scouts who don't want to watch film, or talk with quarterback prospects in person to gauge the intangibles. In Brady's case, in his senior year, they were "tangibles".
Only a moron would rely on "the combine" [ Lol ] to tell them whether or not some dude has a real(i.e. enduring) future in the NFL.
Anybody else notice that Brady still looks about the same? He's been doing a heck of a job fighting off father time.
I was 11 years old watching this live with my dad, and, spontaneously, I told him that the Bama kicker was about to miss. I thought I had football superpowers for years, until I realized I had fallen into the pit of despair of being a lifelong, die-hard Detroit Lions fan. Not even Brady could make the Lions a winner. 😩
Seeing if the Lions could win with Brady would be the ultimate challenge. But alas, don't look like it will ever happen, except perhaps as a *coach* after he retires who knows when.
It's the curse, man
I disagree, Brady would have made them winners. I’m a Red Sox fan from Boston. Curses were meant to be broken…
Lions always had HOF kickers. They had a ton of practice 🤷♂️
BRADY would have given Detroit, 5-7 Superbowls, for real, AND would still be playing there, no matt stafford, and no jared goff
Shaun Alexander had himself a DAY. Dude was huge but also had wheels.
If he won that SB vs my Steelers he's in the hall...weird how Priest and Shaun are weak choices for the jacket
@@fredleeland2464 Priest is so underrated! Dude was unstoppable for a a couple years, and same with Shaun. I think it’s because their prime was kinda short that they don’t get the respect they should. Plus, their prime being kinda short is understandable when you had the running style of those two.
@@cultbender priest was 3 years but shaun was a good 5...same as Earl Campbell
He was on the cover of NCAA '00 or '01 I cant remember which one
Yeah, he had size, speed, moves and was always a class act. I remember watching this game thinking both would have some careers in the NFL, but I never would have guessed that Tom would still be playing at the level he is and winning!
I watched almost every single televised UofM game for all of Brady's college career, he had less of ups and downs but he was always pretty clutch and never really got flustered like other QB's did.
brady had quick feet, great pocket presence, footwork, accuracy, mechanics. thats one thing i noticed.
5 things*
Freaking amazing every team passed on him. If you look at video of some of the QBs picked ahead of him, you have to ask WTF were they thinking.
Obviously we have the luxury of hindsight ..but at least 2 of the QBs picked over Brady had nothing on them.
Good on Tom to show the world and every other NFL team how wrong they were to doubt his ability
That's actually 5 things lol
@@jayrod9979 They were on a crappy team he always had a good team why do the morons not see this?
Back when the FB was utilized for more than just blocking. Reminds me of the Alstott days. Love it.
One of my favorite bowl matchups of the 2000’s great game
The character of Tom Brady was forged by the adversity and competition he continually faced in Michigan . His intense drive dedication and belief in himself led him to his two principles that crafted his Goatness. As long as you are playing, only settle for the BEST you can Be ! and do what’s best for your teammates never let them down .
I forgot how exciting this game was! Thanks for posting! I am a fan of both teams and Alabama can be forgiven after 21 years for losing to Michigan and a 7 time Superbowl winner!!
34 for 36, amazing performance against Bama!
I guess Brady is the only one in this group still playing.
It’s crazy how Brady was relatively off the radar and nobody knew they were watching the greatest to ever do it.
Alabama’s kicking woes go back further than I thought. 😂
Love that old Orange Bowl Logo on midfield.
Damn Right!
2024 still watching this and get goose bumps, great teams and a great game
Tom Brady is my favorite field-goal holder in college football history.
He made a heck of an attempt to salvage that blocked kick. That's grit and quick thinking that no one measures at the combine.
First time ever seeing a Tom Brady clip of his college days, it seems rare finding one of these videos.
After 24 years Michigan has done it again. Go blue
You can tell by his quick release and style of play that he was perfect for the NFL.
the scouts would beg to differ
The scouts are fallible humans that got it wrong
@@jss.2020scouts were obviously wrong as humanly possible? 😂😂
Wow man you really called it after he became the goat
Do you know what hindsight means?
Came back from two 14 point deficits... Then he would go and do that again against the Ravens in the AFC Divisional round in 2015.
That explains it... He had prepared 15+ years earlier!
He actually came back twice by 14 in that ravens game
@@midgar8784 yep and he did it in this game too. Thats what my op says...
That Pass by Brady in the first overtime was outstanding 👏
Thanks
I couldn’t stop laughing when like seven dudes muffed the fumble
Idk why but I'm always gonna forget that Shaun Alexander went Alabama
How could you lol? They total different back then
When I think of him I just assume he came straight to the league out of nowhere
Lol I only know because I'm an Auburn fan. Would make a decent trivia question.
As an LSU fan and the same age as Shaun, the haunting memories from 1996-99 of him being a Tiger Killer never fade 😂
michigan was also one of alexander's last choices, it could have been him and brady together. wikipedia says he chose the warmer weather of alabama.
I like to come back to this every so often but after this past week it just feels much better
I had never seen this game. Yes, I live under a rock. :( Thank u for uploading this......really enjoyed it!!!!
This makes me get NCAA football video game nostalgia with the commentary haha
I miss the NCAA games
And to Think Tom Brady wins a Super Bowl 2 years later after this.
13:21. Lotta respect for #30 on Alabama picking up his kicker like that. That guy’s a true teammate
Fax
As a lifelong Michigan fan, I think this is my favorite game of all time. My brother and I went crazy after they won. Bowl games used to be so much more fun back in the day.
Back before bowl games became the "pop tart bowl" and the "chick fil a bowl" and shit like that
Bowl games were fun because they felt like a championship game. They were nothing but glorified consolation games for the team that didn't win anything. Michigan used to get excited about the Citrus Bowl
Those Michigan road uniforms are perfect
I actually like the all white road unis they have now just as much if not more to be honest.
Brady so clutch, dude got off an actually good pass on that fumbled FG.
If it hadn't been tipped that would've been one of the greatest endings in football
I miss the days in the NFL where fullbacks were utilized consistently
I’m young but that’s something I’ve noticed, football has softened and positions like fullback aren’t utilized enough
Alstott enough said
Tom Rathman - 49ers! Beast - and I'm a Vikings fan!
49ers still use their FB, Juszczyk.@@govikes689
Mack Strong was lethal blocking for Shaun Alexander with the Seahawks
Damn I didn’t realize David Terrell was such a beast in college, I vaguely remember him in college and the NFL but I didn’t realize he was that good in college
Guy caught one of the greatest passes ever in The Game at Columbus. Henson scrambled to his right and with that rocket threw the ball back across the field about 45 yards on a dime to a flying Terrell who was running the other way. Henson was a junior that year and would have been the favorite for the Heisman the next year but Steinbrenner forced him to make a choice and he chose baseball. So unfortunate.
I was raised in Michigan near Ann arbor, and saw Brady play, he was fun to watch then.
It's good coming back to this after we beat bama again. It took 24 years but we did it, by God we did it.
Shaun Alexander was an all time great running back it’s so cool to see him in t college days 🔥
The start of a legendary football career.
Nah he turned out to be a bust in the NFL
@@RSHighlights ttue
the penn state game
@@RSHighlights *to have a bust made for him in Canton
That would be my retort if I thought you were serious haha.
Yea that guy shawn alexander is pretty good
This is why I love college ball. Great shootout from both teams offensive and defensive holy cow what a game!! Wish I could have been there for this one I can feel the hype now!!
I was trippin at the sports ticker when it said greinke vs cueto. I'm like damn they've been pitching in the league since 2000 haha. Then saw Puig was still on Dodgers
Cueto was born in 1986 - would have been 14 years old. Greinke's first MLB game was in 2004. Puig was born in 1990 and played his first MLB game in 2013. Took me a while to figure out that this is a replay on ESPN classic LOL.
Only us OG fans been following Brady since the Michigan days.
Tom Brady = G.O.A.T. 🐐
More like you been following him since he started winning in the NFL
@@victorhardin2186
I'm from michigan, and watched Michigan football religiously as a teenager.
Of course I've been following Brady since UofM, he made our school competitive like he was.
Always knew he was the 🐐
Yup.
@@victorhardin2186 for me it was the Howard stern interview tbh
Tom brady= being carried by defenses and special teams
Probably the most significant game in college football history that's never talked about.
Watching Tom Brady in this game how in the hell was he scouted so low for the draft? Great foot movement, awareness in the pocket. Can make any throw on the field. Moves through his progression flawlessly with his body and feet. I just don’t get how he was missed so badly. Could you imagine if Seattle drafted both TB12 and Shawn Alexander. Holy crap they would’ve been dominant.
they just thought he had weak throws, bakc then nfl was more about deep throws
The greatest draft steal of all time.
1999 Michigan Big Ten QB 11 180 295 61.0 2217 7.5 7.7 16 6 138.0
That's why he was 6th round.
I was at this game with my uncle and it was an emotional roller coaster, let me tell you. Go Blue!
I'll take things that never happened for 500

@@nmatthew7469 lol 😂 why people lie is beyond me
Still remember watching this game live. One of the best football games Ive ever seen in my life.
Nah. Usc texas bro
@@xancypillosi9497 I said "one of the best games"
Great game! This really showcases why Brady is so good. His accuracy and focus make him the very best QB ever to get under center.
you would think that Terrel was the next Jerry Rice... he was picked 8, played 5 seasons and got 9 TDs... that's how GOOD Brady was, and still is....
Terrell was a great WR. He succumbed to his own press releases and drugs. Tragic waste of talent.
@Jose Tejeda, that's an interesting point. Terrell did look really good running after the catch, but maybe he got surprised in the NFL that QBs were not delivering him such perfect balls as his college quarterback
@@6thmichcav262exactly, his career has nothing to do with Brady as far as the nfl goes
Wow those passes by Brady were really exceptional even back then
Brady, picked 199th overall and went on to become the greatest Quarterback of All-Time!
I would have fired every scout in the NFL that year.
@Henry Payton this game alone should’ve got him a 3rd round at least because of his poise and never giving up
I don't agree. Brady was not exceptional or great in college. As an NFL scout, all they can do is look at the information they had available at the time. And at the time, Brady had some good attributes but he overall was not a great prospect. I always ask, what does the film say? And the film says that he sucked. That was the reality. It's easy to say now hOw sTuPiD wErE tHe sCoUtS aNd CoAcHeS tHaT dIdN't dRaFt hIm but why the hell would you draft a bad prospect when there is no indication that they will amount to anything whatsoever? A player can be bad, work their ass off and develop to become better but that takes time and the results of that are not seen until later on. But that doesn't mean they were anything special to begin with, they got there over time.
@@iode9999
Here ya go son, scroll down and read those amazing numbers...
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Brady
@@iode9999 You crack me up. You go from, "...not exceptional or great in college", to, "...some good attributes", then, "...not a great prospect".
Continue with, "...the film says that he sucked", "why the hell would you draft a bad prospect...no indication...will amount to anything whatsoever?"
Boy, did your college assessment of him go downhill fast, in just a few sentences!
(I believe scouts were not impressed with his combine performance, either!)
Couldnt agree with u more
Shouldn’t the title read “The time #5 Alabama almost upset Tom Brady?”
no it should be "One of many times an Alabama kicker has let the whole state down"
Lol I was looking for this comment. Michigan was literally ranked 8th. Hardly an upset -- two evenly matched teams.
Also, this video was more about Shaun Alexander anyway. My goodness.
@@playballtillyoucant7003 yeah, brady 34-36 and 4 tds but its about Alexander lmaoooo
@@RogueStatusX All but like two or three of those passes were throws my grandma could have made, so yeah. In one of the highlights the announcers even commented how he didn't throw farther than 15 yards down the field until, like, the 3rd quarter.
Meanwhile, Alexander is bulldozing people, breaking tackles, and legitimately had a Beast Mode caliber run.
I'm not saying Brady played badly -- obviously he played very well, but if you were watching this game back when it aired with no future knowledge, almost anyone would have been far more impressed with Alexander.
@@playballtillyoucant7003 what college team did your grandma play for ya fuckin goofball? Take your L and sit the fuck down, clown. Alexander wasnt even the second choice for MVP that game. FOH
Football 15+ years ago just hits different.. those were some amazing teams and some exciting games
That Michigan WR was making plays the whole game. I've always thought Michigan produced very good Wide Receivers, but Terrell doesn't come mind. Either way he played remarkable in this game. And Michigan's FB and TE were incredible. They seemed to have caught just about every pass for a big play. This is the Michigan that I know. I know the atmosphere is much different for them these days. The players are sitting out bowl games, or just not feeling the culture with Harbaugh. But they are way more than capable to get back to this level. I'm glad Ohio State has had success over them, but it's time for Michigan to get back to winning, especially their bowl games.
This game got him drafted by the Bears so high
Thing is he, like most Big 10 WRs before 2010, is considered a bust
First round nfl draft pick.
I can't think of a recent WR from Michigan to make an impact outside of Braylon Edwards
@@johnnyslokes2712 mario Manningham, steve breaston, Donovan people jones
@@fredleeland2464 True, Mario and Breaston had a couple decent seasons but fizzled out. We'll see about DPJ still too early
Tom Brady has had an illustrious career since this moment. For 20 years he's continued to upset millions of people every week
I had forgotten in this game how hard Michigan tried to not win it towards the end. Fumble at the half yard line (that might have been a TD first if replay existed?), then a blocked field goal to win from very makeable range!
Just watching this and reading through comments is a reminder to believe in yourself and not to go off of what other people say and now they view you. The only one who knows are you’re truly capable of is you!!!!! All of the analysts and the teams thought Brady was destined to be a career backup and now he’s sitting with 7 rings. Believe in yourself!!!!
They forgot that "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog". That makes TB12 a Pitbull!!!
@@patrickfullan9509 Hell yeah, Pat! Wishing you nothing but success sir!
Like Lombardi, Montana, Shula, Babe Ruth, Kobe, Marino, Kelly, Staubach, and hundreds more in every sport they all were raised Catholic. Do the math.
I remember listening to this driving home to Detroit though Pennsylvania. Definitely an exciting game, Brady really came through in the clutch. Go Blue!
The days when Michigan was on 760 WJR. Wish they could be back on that station. 1050 doesn't travel far and I usually listen to it through iHeart.
@@nate24680 It may have been broadcast nationally, but I don't recall. Or could have been WJR or 950. Going to miss the current broadcast crew, who are having one helluva last hurrah, but I expect we will reload in that department.
I watched this game on a 4" mini tv with tinfoil wrapped around the antenna out on my lawn in Ann Arbor as a 15 year old. This game was a great send off to my family's move to California. Go Blue.
I'm from texas but my dad's from ann arbor. Great city. Best memories going to watch games there
I wear a tin foil hat these days and listen to Alex Jones. So I feel ya there.
@@DexterHaven don’t sweat the things that are out of your control.
I remember watching this game in the living room of my childhood home. Great memories
Where does anyone find tin foil? All I ever see on the store shelves is aluminum foil.
Could you imagine trying to convince someone back then that Tom Brady would win 7 Super Bowls (so far).
Not even his dad would imagine he could win 7.
Not Bill Belichik... haha... he needed NO convincing..
@@ski5150 Belichick still has had just as much success as Brady now Belichick has a young QB in Mac Jones
it's rigged. Tom is fake.
@@johnellizz You really think these NFL athletes have the mental fortitude to take part in a massive scam? They can barely read off a teleprompter in a news conference lol
The other teams quarter back was so explosive in the pocket, so quick. David Terell also was amazing here
Tyler Watts, he had a good ability to step up in the pocket
yeah i was surprised how quickly he could hit the 2nd gear on them
These are the losses that hurt at the time. But as they age, it becomes more of an appreciation than a loss. Yeah, Bama lost. But the loss came to one of the NFL's greatest of all time, Tom Brady. And being his last game at his
alma mater. Shaun Alexander for Alabama also. But to see how much running backs and their careers in the NFL end sooner than what a QB's career ends. Tom Brady and Shaun Alexander both in the draft the following April (2000 NFL draft) Alexander a 1st rd pick, and Brady being the 199th of the 6th rd, the greatest 6th rd pick if all time. Alexander's career ended in 2008, and Brady just won another title in the 2021 super bowl (SBLV), 13 years after Alexander's retirement. That is amazing imo. And just think, the night before this game people were preparing for Y2K armeggedon lol.
The MICHIGAN I grew up with! They actually competed and beat Ohio State! GO BLUE!
It was a great game, just didn’t end the way us Tide fans wanted. Both teams made incredible plays, but y’all got the win. Still tip the hat to you, but I’ll admit to remembering this game when we avenged the loss back in 12 and again in 19, but I digress… again congrats on the great double overtime win.
RTR
UA sucked really bad around this time. There was a lot of nonsense going on back then. I was little but I remember always hearing about rumored scandals back then.
Its been awhile. Thats from a Michigan fan too. Makes me sad
Harbaugh was supposed to be what Howard is.
@@NCE528 I agree 100%. Harbaugh is done after this year
I'm a lifelong Bama fan but I remember watching that game at 15 years old. It was a really good game, but a bad ending for us.
His college # 10 equals the number of SB’s he’s currently played in.
Fun fact..
Holy shit
Just imagine if u told him that b4 draft day
They had sean Alexander!
I know everyone is telling they kids they played with tom Brady back in the day
Damn,Tom Brady's mechanics were the same in his college career. He's just a fundamentally sound player.
Pretty appropriate for this to be recommended after Saturday, 12/2/2023.
Go Blue!
TOM BRADY IS THE GREATEST QUARTERBACK TO EVER PLAY FOOTBALL FROM THE LITTLE LEAGUE TO THE PRO'S. NO ONE HAD EVER DID IT BETTER. HE'S SO GOOD HE COULD WIN IT AGAIN THIS YEAR IN TAMPA CAUSE NOW HE KNOWS WHAT HE HAS IN HIS PLAYERS AND HE IS EVEN DEADLIER WITH HIS PASSES, WOW!!!
I wasn't following you. But you legit made me ready for the season. So I have to subscribe.
Appreciate it
And you know Alabama thought that game was well in hand, they didn’t know Tom Terrific 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I had this game on VHS. I watched this game about 1000 times. I even know every play ran. That's how many times I've watched.

I remember when Michigan was a top 10 program...damn, I'm getting old.
