I was at the bottom of one of those in hockey, so more weight with all the gear. I literally heard my chest cracking. I could not breathe. They look like fun. They are not. But I came out no worse for wear so, pile on!

It was pretty ugly at times with the errors, but they overcame it all!  Awesome game from Tommy Henry dealing while fighting off the flu!

That finish was completely awesome last night, er, this morning!  It fit the entire series - 2 run lead, two on in scoring position, stupid base hit ties the score...  Grounder to short and GAME OVER!!!!!!  Keiser/Kisor/Kaiser closed it out like a champ!!  So fun to watch it live!!!

Couldn't stay up for the 9 posbangs, 'but who cares?  Who gives a shit?  God bless their cotton pickin', Maize & Blue hearts!!!'

To think that our season almost ended in extremely disappointing fashion in Omaha 2 weeks ago, and now we get the privilege of having it end there.  Results don’t matter at this point this team will forever be engrained in our memories!  What a year, what a team!

I love the reaction from the trainer. You can tell she is totally invested in this team.

Probably not a lot of people with my particular fear -- being at the bottom of a pile of about 20 humans.  Seriously, if I was the guy at the bottom of that, I might have had a heart attack.  All I could think in watching that clip (once and only once) was SCARY!

I don't find it odd at all that after the walk-off endzone catch in 2005, Manningham sprinted upfield away from his teammates; or Poole going end to end after his buzzer-beater 3 in the 2018 tournament.  Neither of those piles would be as terrifying as this one.

The funniest football ones are when a kicker wins a game.

PSU won a Bowl game in 2014 with a walk-off extra point.  The TV captured the reaction - the kicker made the kick and then very quickly the flight portion of "fight or flight" kicked in: "oh crap: all 75 of my 200+ (or worse 300+) pound teammates are heading my way!!!  Run!!!"

Another funny one I remember is a 2016 super-regional, UCSB beating Louisville 4-3 on a walk-off grand slam.  The home plate umpire had to make sure, of course, that the batter actually touched home plate.  But the dogpile started immediately after he touched home plate - and the umpire got caught in the middle of it!

Great work in LA boys.

Maybe M should open satellite campus right here in LA.

M takes over staples, now Jack Robby, Well done.

Go Blue.

That was the absolute best weekend of Michigan sports for me.  All these years you see underdogs make a run in sports and it never is your team.  Not only was it Michigan for once, they went in to the number 1 national seed (not sure if the announcers ever told us that) and took 2 out of 3 and 3 out of 4 for the season.  One hell of a group of guys.  I wish I could fly out there now and shake every one of their hands.  Just fantastic.

My parents are Coastal Carolina season ticket holders and got to be there for all of 2016 when they won it all.  Maybe its Michigan's turn?

I don't think a Michigan team has ever made me happier.  What a team, what a sport.

It's one thing to win a game against #1.  That happens quite a bit.  But to take 2 of 3 (and really close to sweeping 2-0) in their own backyard?  That is fucking amazing!
