What's your best memory ever going to a Michigan game?
To negate the bad karma/bpone shitpost earlier about the "worst memory ever going to a Michigan game", I present you with the "best memory" thread. We need to counter this bad juju and keep the positive momentum going given the run the team has been on the past 2 years.
My best moments were
1) Michigan beats OSU in CBUS, 2000 - Freezing day, up in the UM corner of the stands. Started off poorly - down 9-0, think they ran back the opening kick for a near TD. This was the Henson game, and it was glorious, before the rivalry took a turn for the worse.
2) Dominating a once again overrated (#2) ND team in 2006 in South Bend. Crushed Brady Quinn's soul that day. And Manningham and the defense were on fire.
I did not attend the OSU games the past 2 years, but those are by far my favorite 2 games of the past 20 years overall.
What say you? Keep this positive mojo going!

1992 Michigan vs Illionis. I was 10 years old and that was my first game. Even though the game ended in a tie. I fell in love with Michigan football

2017 - Late game further delayed by weather for the Little Brown Jug. Went with my youngest son and happened to sit right behind two Minnesota fans. The Gophers hung with Michigan early in the game and these two jokers were talking some serious shit. Michigan proceeded to run the ball down their throat with Higdon and Evans both having huge days. My 18 year old son shut them down and kept talking shit back. We never saw them after halftime and both got a big laugh from it.
2022 - Versus Illinois. Went with a great friend who hadn't been to a UM game in many years. The two of uis and every other fan in our section were beside ourselves most of the later parts of the game. We were convinced Michigan was going to lose, especially after Corum was injured and couldn't go. The Money Moody FG with seconds left turned a deflated, depleted crowd into a bunch of screaming fools. No matter what happens in the CFP, we got a memory of a team that just figured out a way to win when they really shouldn't have.

1991, I had just returned from Germany and Desert Storm, was on leave visiting parents and siblings in Ann Arbor. Decided going to the Notre Dame game was a good idea, tried to buy some scalped tickets, realized my pockets weren't deep enough. So found myself at a beer tent on Packard and watched the game with a bunch of Notre Shame fans. Had a really good time and the Frightened Irish fans were good natured even in defeat.

1997 M vs Ohio; Woodson game. Loudest I've ever heard the stadium when he returned the punt for the TD. I swear the stadium and bleachers were rocking.

1979 Wangler to Carter vs. Indiana. Yes I am old.

Hello old guy. I was there too

Old guys rule. 👍

1. Wangler to AC. Remember especially that my old man would not leave the game early like about 20% of the crowd had started to do, and it paid off. To this day, I never leave early, even if we’re up 45 to nothing.
2. Desmond strikes the pose. My seasons, now on 40 years in the same spot, are right in that corner of the end zone and Desmond came right down and hit the pose.
3. Woodson crushes OSU. Same deal on the big return. looked like Chuck wanted to strike the pose but his guys mobbed him before he could.

1. 1967. Indiana’s Cardiac Kids. First time in Michigan Stadium. The Marching Band!!
2. 1971. 5-4-3-2-1 Touchdown! Billy Taylor! Rain, Snow and Hail to the Victors.
3. 1991. Helloo Heisman!
4. 1997. Woodson’s punt return — same sideline/same end zone. Best atmosphere with the old seating — electric with the NC in sight.
5. 2021. Best atmosphere ever. Nuf said.
