Likely the Wolverines' best #72 in Dan Dierdorf, like so many others, had quite the moment when 42-27 went final. For him, it was his final broadcast at Michigan Stadium and his first win over Ohio State. Tears were shed...

Enjoy.

Love these old time black and white photos!  Not sure if that's a referee next to the players, or if that shirt was the style at the time (with an onion on his belt!).

Wow, he is still alive at age 94. I wonder if he still attends Michigan games. But it sounds like he may live down in Mineral Wells, TX.

I'm thinking that Mr. Wahl, seeing as how he was an Army heavyweight boxing champ prior to playing varsity football, would like nothing better to wipe that smug look of the face of the opponent pictured above.  But, because he's an intelligent son of the University of Michigan, he will just bide his time and give him the business when the line piles up.
