We are giving Ace the weekend off to bring you some FOOTBALL! Specifically, football of the Michigan vs USC variety. My copilot for The Teams/Michigan historian Dr. Sap is on hand to help with the memories because I was newly nine years old on January 1, 1989.

We lost our original special guest, but then scored a giant one across from him: GREG SKREPENAK will be on hand to answer questions and tell Bo stories.

Join us at 8pm ET. You can watch the embed and participate in the chat below, or go to https://www.twitch.tv/mgoseth

Watch MGoTheater 3000: The 1989 Rose Bowl from MGoSeth on www.twitch.tv

If we run into technical issues please bear with us as it's my first time running one of these. Game notes are here: http://www.umich.edu/~bhlumrec/athdept/fbstats/1988/1988usc.pdf

THE LINEUP:

USC of course had Rodney Peete, RB Ricky Ervins, RB/FB Leroy Holt, two future NFL tight end sin Paul Green and Scott Galbraith, two future NFL draft picks outside in Erik Affholter and John Jackson Jr. (father of JJIII), and some stars on the offensive line including Rimington candidate Brad Leggett at center. Oh and on defense, just some guy named Junior Seau.

Seth and Dr. Sap bring you a podcast about Michigan's greatest teams. This episode: the season that began in the playoffs and ended as well as it could have. Our special guest: Mark Messner!

Previously: 1901, 1925, 1932, 1947, 1950, 1964, 1976, 1980, 1999

THE SPONSOR:

It is sponsored by HomeSure Lending. If you're buying or refinancing your home, this is the guy to talk to. He'll work on your loan directly and walk you through a process that can get really confusing really fast. I used him. Brian used him. Everyone else who used him is glad they did.
