Also in 1986...

Submitted by readyourguard on

The basketball team grabbed its first outright title since 1986, which was my junior year at Michigan.

Know what else happened in 1986?

We got a new offensive coordinator. Moeller moved over from DC/LB coach to OC (yes, Bo still called the shots).  Lloyd went from DBs coach to DC/LB coach (along with Jim Hermann).

And?  We won the Big 10 title in the Harbaugh "guarantee we'll win" game as Matt Franz shanked a last minute FG attempt at the Shoe.  We went on to play Arizona State in the Rose Bowl.

Other OT happenings in 1986:

Chernobyl

Space shuttle Challenger explodes

Kentucky winner Ferdinand.  Also, Ferdinand Marcos flees Phillipines.

Oprah Winfrey show debuts on national television

Song of the Year: We are the World.

Graduated from LSA spring of '86. Season tix to fb and hoops-the clinching game vs. indiana was best I saw us play in four years there. Also did student teaching at Scarlett in Pittsfield during spring. Was on prep when shuttle blew up. Later taught with a lady who was one of finalists for teacher in space. Celebrated 21st birthday at Dooleys. At least, that is what I'm told...
