the 2006 opener was interesting (27-7 over Vanderbilt). there was some bald meathead from ND who thought Michigan totally disgraced itself

    - Omare Lowe blocked two kicks and had a pick-6. All Roc had to do was run.* - By Alpo August 31, 2026 at 04:20:37 PM
      - Yeah, what a fluky series that was. They should have won in Seattle and we should have won in Ann Arbor. * - By Rabbit August 31, 2026 at 04:37:47 PM

  - remind me of the 1986 Michigan, Iowa game that wasn’t being shown in Jackson Mississippi so I went and watched it in a satellite owner shop and there was nobody in the store and he close the store and let me stay and continue to watch the game, even though we lost it was fantastic that he let me do - By sim August 31, 2026 at 05:52:43 PM

- About that AC opener (m) - By Spirit August 31, 2026 at 03:24:31 PM
  - Great story . . . not sure about this but I don't think any WRs anywhere wore #1 before AC, and he made it into a huge thing, not just at Michigan but everywhere* - By Paul August 31, 2026 at 03:27:14 PM
    - Correct. The player who wore 1 the season before was kicker Greg Willner. I don't know if we had a 1 before that* - By Rich August 31, 2026 at 03:30:51 PM
      - Apparently Harry Kipke wore #1 as well as 2 OL, Angus Goetz and Robert Dunne * - By Spirit August 31, 2026 at 03:58:02 PM

- 1985 ND. Felt like we were back after an off year. And we were. Similar feeling in 2021 vs WMU to a lesser extent. Also 2016 - By Rich August 31, 2026 at 03:17:38 PM
  - Yeah Miami was ranked #1 going into that game; it turned out to be the worst Miami team in about a 15 year stretch but nobody knew that then - By Paul August 31, 2026 at 03:20:42 PM
