I've been to a number of UM games and watched at least 20x more on TV, but the best experience I had there was not specifically any athletic act on the field - it was the ability of the crowd to influence the game itself. At different home games (Iowa in early 2000's and Minnesota in late 2000's) I can recall the noise from the crowd directly interfering with the cadence and timing of the opposing offense - and the crowd recognized it and was reinforced by it. I think that is one of the best aspects of college football in comparisson to pro/HS or even comparing to other sports.

I was there for that one and that was my wife's first Michigan game. She was a cheerleader and an alum of Georgia. The tailgate atmosphere and that game made a big Michigan fan out of her.

Watching the 1997 season. That defense was nasty led by C Wood! He clinched the Heisman with that punt return vs OSU.

Penn State at the Big House. Lady fan of Penn State taunting Tyrone Wheatley as they stopped him for small gains in the first quarter - "You've got nothing Wheatley", "Wheatley you're overrated".
Wheatley then breaks out for a 70-ish yard rushing touchdown.
"Watch Wheatley, Watch Wheatley"
Wheatley breaks another long rushing touchdown.
"OMG I told you to watch Wheatley!!" I was LMAO.

2002 opener vs. Washington
We missed 3 relatively easy field goals.
Philip Brabbs connected on a dramatic 44 yard fieldgoal to win it at the end.

1-7 so it was almost as bad as it possibly could have been.
to say this has been the low point in michigan football history is an understatement

In short, beating rivals feels good. I'm looking to that feeling again. Very soon.

I wanted to pick something from 97 but if you were around when Wangler to Carter happened I don't know how you could choose anything else. I was in footballs Valhalla. I still can't watch College Gameday and look at Corso and not think of this game. He lost his marbles that day.

One year I took a friend who had never seen live college football to M vs Penn State and it was the game Lloyd argued for 3 seconds back on the clock. We were in the corner of the endzone and Henne's throw to Super Mario was right in front of us and wow was that a memorable game. I also remember playing Wisconsin and us picking it off with a convoy for a pick six. The game was miserable up until that point and the momentum swing was tremendous. UTL probably takes the cake but nothing beats The Big House. Can't wait to go this year!!!

Nothing will ever match Michigan - Ohio State 1969. Tom Moorehead, Jim Mandich, Garvie Craw and the entire Michigan offense and defense rise up and defeat "...the Greatest College Football Team of all time" 24-12. We were 18 point underdogs in our own stadium. What made it even sweeter was the fact that I was at the 1968 game in Columbus that we lost 50-14 (Woody tried to score a 2 point conversion after their last touchdown - it failed.) Woody later admitted that this was the worst defeat of his entire career.

Not my first game in the Big House, but Bo's last in 1989. Walking on the field afterward with the cheerleaders, band, and some players, was awesome. The other in-person memory is 1997 at PSU. Just a perfect day for Michigan football! Third play of the game Alan Branch was coming straight at us. Glorious! The PSU fans/alumni I was with understood, even if they didn't know it, yet.
Other top memories are Braylonfest, in a Thumb bar with family. And UTL 1 sitting at home, trying to be quiet so as to not wake up the newborn. That was the last game I ever watched with my dad.
