I posted I have (some) vivid memories of going to that game on a gorgeous day in Ann Arbor. It being 29 years since 1997, it feels both simultaneously like yesterday and a whole lifetime ago.

And of course, 29 years before 1997 is 1968, one year before Bo beats Woody to kick off the modern era of UM football. Which is like ancient history to me since I wasn't born yet, and 1997 is to any current UM student.

Back to the board

    - Very cool. Even though I mocked big band music when I was young, later in life I would crank some up, when I was of course, in the mood.* - By jhamm August 18, 2026 at 03:21:45 PM
