Inside Michigan Football Maryland edition (interesting Harbaugh quote)

Submitted by ThatGuyCeci on November 3rd, 2019 at 9:22 PM

9:28 mark Jansen asks Harbaugh what his message to the team was after the game. Harbaugh responds “Beat State.” YES!!! This is what I’m talkin about. Something tells me JH might not let off the gas pedal this year.

That would be Maroonic!  But yes I do!

1905: Chicago 2, Michigan 0

Chicago won the 1905 meeting of the rivals by a score of 2 to 0. The game, dubbed “The First Greatest Game of the Century,” broke Michigan’s 56-game unbeaten streak and marked the end of the “Point-a-Minute” years. The 1905 Michigan team had outscored opponents 495 to 0 in its first 12 games. The game was lost in the final ten minutes of play when Denny Clark was tackled for a safety as he attempted to return a punt from behind the goal line. Newspapers described Clark’s play as “the wretched blunder” and a “lapse of brain work.” Clark transferred to M.I.T. the following year and was haunted by the play for the rest of his life. In 1932, he shot himself, leaving a suicide note that reportedly expressed hope that his “final play” would atone for his error at Marshall Field in 1905.


It's serious stuff this football.

Maybe not every year, but every couple of years.  But I agree, in 14 years there will be hard core ND and Michigan fans who won't even remember the game played in 2019.  There will be freshmen sitting in the student section who were only three or four years old the last time UM and ND tilted.  That is no more a rivalry game than playing UCLA every other decade.

According to the self loathing Michigan fans and Spartys Michigan's rivals are:

1) Sparty

and

2) all schools that beat Michigan in the most recent contest between that school and Michigan.

It seems ND fits neither criterion and hence will not be considered as a rival for us.

The Notre Dame rivalry is a generational thing.  People who aren’t old enough to remember Lou Holtz vs Bo and Mo aren’t going to put it on the same level.  In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Michigan / Notre Dame was a nationally-relevant rivalry game.

Sure.  But for anyone under the age of about 30 -- for reference, I'm 42 -- those games weren't meaningful at the same level  The last time both Michigan and Notre Dame were ranked in the top 10 when they played was 1994, but from 1989 to 1992 it was true each year.  That's how you build a rivalry.  (Also: Notre Dame won four years in a. row from '87 to '90, so suffice it to say there was some real angst there. :)
