Oh, how I missed those muppets.
GO BLUE!!

WAHOOO

WOW. Just wowwww! Basketball at the Big House!
What a crazy game. Just got home, listening to the highlights on WTKA. Poor Frank Beckmann is gonna be having some laryngitis. For that matter, so am I.
GO BLUUUUUUE!!!!!!
(Edit: Inadvertently posted this as reply to BillyShears... sorry. Here's a +1 for your troubles.)

HIGGINS!

Thanks to everyone that got laryngitis at the Big House today. Way to leave it all on the field (or the sky-- or wherever that crowd noise ends up in the end). By all accounts, the crowd did its job today.
November 6th, 2010 at 4:46 PM ^
than winning a game 67-65 is losing a gaime 67-65. It's still a +1 in the W column, so I'll take it.
Now maybe the boys can relax, have fun, and play football. The harder they've tried the worse they've done of late. Time for a good old-fashioned blow out over Purdue!
November 6th, 2010 at 5:33 PM ^
I think there is plenty worse than winning a game 67-65.
November 6th, 2010 at 5:54 PM ^
Like syphilis.
November 6th, 2010 at 6:54 PM ^
especially when you are one game away from bowl eligibility.
November 6th, 2010 at 9:02 PM ^
Definitely, syphilis would be worse.
November 6th, 2010 at 4:47 PM ^
We didn't not suck worse than them!
November 6th, 2010 at 9:26 PM ^
I'm sure this has been up before... thanks for posting this-- hillarious.
Is this real life?
November 6th, 2010 at 4:50 PM ^
Unbelievable. I just watched the OT again. The tipped ball immaculate reception by Hemingway in OT2 provided the proof this was destiny.
Go Blue!
November 6th, 2010 at 4:59 PM ^
November 6th, 2010 at 5:24 PM ^
The only way this could feel better is if we would have stopped Leshoure on the 4th and inches in the 2nd overtime to seal the victory. We fell apart after a goalline stand last year, it would have been nice to see it reciprocated.
That being said, its pretty nice when my only complaint is about a better way to win the game!
November 6th, 2010 at 5:46 PM ^
based on the commentary from this site about our secondary, ending the game on a near sack from pressure was the only way to end that game.
I watched the combo move between RVB and Roh 10 times in a well, basically, in a Roh.
just imagine the QB's thoughts going through his head,
"oh shit! oh shit! oh shit! no where to run, no where to run, did I leave the oven on at the apartment? oh crap I'm still in this play! why doesn't it just end? no where to run, just fling ball into the air, it's hopeless, I'm so sad, doom, doom, doom, doom..."
November 6th, 2010 at 7:06 PM ^
But I understand the refs swallowing their whistles in that situation.
November 6th, 2010 at 9:49 PM ^
"Again?" You say that like you watched it once. It's been played a half-dozen times here. We enjoyed watching Mike Barwin wipe a tear from his eye six times.
November 6th, 2010 at 4:52 PM ^
I look foward to watching WolverineHistorian's recap of the game on Youtube
Good game
November 6th, 2010 at 4:53 PM ^
Shocked our d us bad? How about holy shit we just put 67 on the nations 15th d! And our starting qb missed most of second half. Great win!
November 6th, 2010 at 7:06 PM ^
you shouldnt count OT points, both on the offense, and against the defense.
November 6th, 2010 at 9:47 PM ^
someonez keepin it reeil
November 6th, 2010 at 4:53 PM ^
Alright, I hate to admit it, but as a senior I don't know the significance of us playing these two. I know when the band plays them and all that, but how the two songs become so connected to the marching band?
I was sharing the joys of MGoBlog with my dad and he asked why Michigan plays these songs. I felt dumb. Please enlighten me.
November 6th, 2010 at 5:04 PM ^
back in 1977, so it's a tradition that predates me. I've never really thought about it.
November 6th, 2010 at 5:10 PM ^
via MVictors:
Jerry Bilik’s "Temptation" and "War Chant" were performed first as part of two different half time shows in the mid 1950s. As is done now, highlights of half time shows were performed at postgame shows. Both feature the percussion section and both were immediately popular with the members of the band and the public. War Chant was first performed with a dance–one of George Cavender’s most imaginative creations. The clarinets were to dance like "wild" Hawaiians on hot coals.
It should be noted that "Hawaiian War Chant" was performed around 1950 by the MMB in an arrangement by Jack Lee. Besides "Temptation" and "Hawaiian War Chant", Jerry Bilik wrote several other percussion features: "I Got Rhythm", "Pick Up Sticks", "Log-o-rhythms", "I’ve Got Hawaiian Temptation" (a weird combination of all three), and probably others that I cannot think of at the moment.
None ever reached the acceptance as did "Temptation" and "Hawaiian War Chant.” The phrase used by the announcer, "You can’t have one without the other…" was coined by Dan Spaulding, the MMB announcer before H. H. Hanson. He said the phrase on the spot for a postgame show.
November 6th, 2010 at 6:23 PM ^
The band kicked some ass today too.
November 6th, 2010 at 7:41 PM ^
Did it seem to anyone else that they were playing the beginning of The Victors a bit more often today as well? (Rather than just the trio, I mean?)
November 6th, 2010 at 5:11 PM ^
Temptation and War Chant were arranged for the MMB by Jerry Bilik, a composer who also wrote M Fanfare (among other things). He was one of the main arrangers for the MMB a long time ago. Playing T&W predates my time in the MMB by a lot, so I'm not sure when they started playing it... I just know we play it.
November 6th, 2010 at 5:22 PM ^
People have posted good info above, but just FYI I posted a thread about Temptation this past off-season asking about its history with the MMB, and got some great responses. You may want to Google it and check it out, the responses were quite informative.
November 6th, 2010 at 9:27 PM ^
They are awsome and you can't have one without the other. Tell your dad not to question the guy at the big house and just go with it!
November 6th, 2010 at 4:56 PM ^
Zook thought putting 65 points up at the Big House would get it done...
Boom Zook'd!
November 6th, 2010 at 4:59 PM ^
will lose games we should win (PSU) and win ones we shouldnt (today)
man i'm about dead. i feel good. i don't know i don't know. what if we beat purdue, what if we re-establish some momentum....what if we pull off a shocker against wiscy? or OSU?
i'd put this season in the unparalleled success category.
i'm ready to live again damn it!
November 6th, 2010 at 4:58 PM ^
was played on the PA....i think it may have had something to do with the bobble game saving catch by Junior.
i thought my head was going to explode into confetti when that happened.
good luck, for us, for once! my god!
November 6th, 2010 at 8:15 PM ^
Am I reading that correctly? They played the bed intruder song? I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry about the RAWK they're playing.
Seven nation army could be heard through the tv broadcast...I know the White Stripes are a Detroit product, but really? I don't think we need to hear that the week after we were curb stomped by a crappy PSU team.
November 6th, 2010 at 9:29 PM ^
The Bed Intruder song was played for a short period of time. The student section got it, and I had to explain it to a few folks. It was only on for 5 to 10 seconds. It was pretty funny.
November 6th, 2010 at 10:58 PM ^
I was watching on TV, and I thought I heard it. I discounted it, cause who plays the Bed Intruder song on the PA???
November 6th, 2010 at 10:46 PM ^
I thought that's what I heard on TV. The play-by-play guys were droning on and I faintly heard "Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife!" Needless to say, I LOL'd.
November 6th, 2010 at 5:00 PM ^
Wow. Just...like...WOW!
November 6th, 2010 at 5:04 PM ^
Bowl game here we come. We beat Purdue and 1 of the other 2. Hell, why not run the table? Great buzz on - what a great day!!
November 7th, 2010 at 1:23 AM ^
my friend.
November 6th, 2010 at 5:07 PM ^
I'm exhausted.
November 6th, 2010 at 5:06 PM ^
I literally almost had a heart attack
