• Playing off Craig’s post, what’s the most satisfying Michigan win you’ve seen? My top 3… - By yarn September 11, 2026 at 11:51:46 AM
  • In person? oof... the trio of PSU/OSU/Rose Bowl from the 97 season are almost inseparable. 95 OSU, 06 ND, 11 ND, maybe 01 MSU all likely contenders... - By trUFERblue September 11, 2026 at 02:15:06 PM

  • 2021 OSU, 1971 OSU, 1995 OSU--in person; TV-- Alabama Rose Bowl, 1996 OSU, 1999 Ros Bowll * - By jonpc September 11, 2026 at 01:33:57 PM
  • '21 OSU and it's not close (and I was at the Bama Rose Bowl game). After that: OSU '76 (I kid). Dunder names a good one: '97 PSU.* - By Brandt September 11, 2026 at 01:22:46 PM
  • No doubt an irrelevant win compared to the ones you all listed, but for wins I was at the game for, the 2011 comeback against Notre Dame still holds up very well in my memory.* - By ThWard September 11, 2026 at 01:08:10 PM
  • TV: 2022 OSU. Wouldn't have happened without '21 but more satisfying. In person: 97 Colorado. The biggest statement I saw live.* - By ftb September 11, 2026 at 12:53:41 PM
    • Will add that after the game, someone (not me, sadly) said: so that's how Lloyd wins a national championship.* - By ftb September 11, 2026 at 01:00:12 PM
  • My top picks are taken, but ND in 2007 was a pleasant narrative shifter. ND in 2019 as well.* - By Bluebuck September 11, 2026 at 12:34:04 PM
  • '03 OSU, '21 OSU, '23 Bama* - By KevinC September 11, 2026 at 12:31:08 PM
  • if "seen" means "attending," mine are each family memories attached to a big game: 1969 OSU, 1997 PSU and Washington St. * - By onb September 11, 2026 at 12:23:18 PM
  • There are too many to pick from. There are a number of great ones below (more) - By Rich September 11, 2026 at 12:22:41 PM
  • 2021 Ohio St. It was a very rough time of my life and watching that win, hugging and crying in the stands with strangers, was a huge emotional boost to get me through* - By Babycakes September 11, 2026 at 12:22:12 PM
  • In order: 1997 PSU, 2023 Alabama, 2022 OSU. Felt Michigan had a better than 50% chance of a title after each of these games. Went 2-1 on that feeling. * - By plug September 11, 2026 at 12:15:18 PM
    • 1997 over PSU is a great call. I was a Jr. in HS, and my god, was that a satisfying beat down of a team many thought to be a juggernaut* - By ThWard September 11, 2026 at 01:09:03 PM
  • I'll say 2023 OSU. That game was effectively worth 3 games in the eyes of fans because of the signgate nonsense, made it even more important to win* - By Frigz September 11, 2026 at 12:14:53 PM
  • 21 OSU. Michigan dominated. Bama Rose Bowl was important but terrifying. 21 OSU was like holy shit they’re doing this * - By Nikos September 11, 2026 at 12:11:52 PM
  • '97 PSU, '22 OSU, '23 National Championship* - By Dunder September 11, 2026 at 11:59:39 AM
    • ‘22 OSU is underrated. Road game, showed ‘21 wasn’t a fluke. That was a major statement win. * - By plug September 11, 2026 at 12:13:16 PM
      • That would be my top pick to squash the "well, they finally got one but have to come to the shoe this year" vibes.* - By LewisBullox September 11, 2026 at 12:18:26 PM
  • Rose Bowl win over Alabama, win @ OSU in 2022, win @ PSU in 2023 - By brick September 11, 2026 at 11:56:12 AM
  • 2021 OSU will almost surely never be topped for me. I literally wept, and I still can’t watch highlights without tearing up a bit*** - By Craig September 11, 2026 at 11:54:12 AM
    • Others from the 20th Century worth mentioning… - By Craig September 11, 2026 at 12:02:01 PM
