Lawrence Ricks falling to the ground fakes a fumble and it goes right into Corso's hands.  He fires it to the ground in disgust that the refs let it stand.

He got the money before coming to M.  He played in the farm system when not in school.  They lured him away to play baseball full time later so he would not play against OSU.

1968 in Columbus.  50-14  They were a bunch of cretins even back then.  But revenge was sweet with 24-12 in 1969

1969 or 1970 the band performed at my fraternity, Chi Psi.  They had a stripper with them known as Hippie Strippie.  She did not really strip but danced around like Stevie Nicks or something.  Saw them again in Houston at now gone Fitzgerald's in about 1987 or so.  They also sang Rouge Plant Blues.

Ask me after the IU game.  In 1969 OSU had a 22 game winning streak, defending national champs.  Michigan had 2 early losses to Missouri and MSU, then won 4 games before going on the road to Iowa.  We smoked Iowa and the team was feeling strong.  Came home to face the highly favored Buckeyes.  See my screen name:  24-12.  Let's beat IU convincingly and then repeat 1969 fifty years later.  Go Blue!

Contact w/recruits

Can Harbaugh make contact with Harris at this time of the year or is this a no contact period?

How do I login to the live blog

Best wishes from a survivor.

Praying for your wife, you and all the family.  After seeing what my wife went through whle I was being treated for prostate cancer, I can say it is really rough on the family members as well.

And to all the guys on this blog, get your prostate checked.  Prostate cancer can be cured, but you have to catch it early.

 

Halftime Score

Halftime score:  24-12

Final Score: 24-12

Kid in a candy store

My favorite moment was Harbaugh sitting on the bench at halftime with no one around,  The look of pure joy on his face was worth a thousand words.  Look at the tape.  You will be stoked.

Grande Ballroom

1966 at the Grande Ballroom.  Paid fifty cents to get into the dance. Happy Jack was there.

1952

She's Working Her Way Through College.  Midwestern State U is playing Michigan in the big game. See the Beat Michigan signs at the pep rally.

In State Recruits

Only 1 of 26 commits are in-state.  This has to be unprecedented.  Not complaining, just observing.

Jeter

I would think Jeter would be a natural fit attendee.  Founder of Players Tribune and UM grad (not really sure if he graduated but he did attend.)

Defense

Defense wins championships!

Lemonade

Way to make lemonade!

Nationwide Recruiting

Wow!  What an unbelievable job recruiting nationwide with only one commit out of 24 from the State of Michigan.

Grant Newsome

I know this is about defense but why did Grant Newosme not play in the Citrus?

Grant Newsome

Anyone know why he did not play?

50-14

OSU scored to make it 48.  Kicked the extra point.  It was good.  We were offsides.  Woody took the penalty and then went for 2 to make it 50-14.  I was in that endzone.

Knucklehead

Tom Brady does a weekly radio show in Boston.  They played some clips on a Houston sports talk show yesterday.  The host asked Brady if Mallett was a knucklehead while with the Patriots.  Tom paused for a long time and then said - "Oh, I don't know".  Nice non-answer that speaks loudly.

Dyche Stadium

Their stadium was a dump even back in '68 when I attended a game at what was then called Dyche Stadium.

31-0 Harbaugh hat mess

What was that about?  We had just stopped them to a 4th and 17 and Jim is going nuts.  Millen and the other clown went on about it but never defined what Jim was irate about?  Was there offensive interference or something not called?

OPM

If she is so good at raising money, maybe she can kick in for the remainder of Brandon's contract that she extended.  Didn't cost her anything, so what the hell. 

Bowl Games

Rose Bowl 1969 v USC  Bo's heart attack

Bluebonnet Bowl - '80 or '81  v UCLA  Woolfolk runs wild

Sugar Bowl '84 v The Plainsmen, War Eagles or Tigers - 3 field goals beat us - Bo Jackson

Alamo Bowl '97 Brian Griese v TAMU - we could not handle the blizt but set us up for '98 National Championship.  "Those who stay will be Champions!"

 

 

Yes. In Columbus.

Yes. In Columbus.

Going for 2 was only part of

Going for 2 was only part of the story.  OSU actually kicked the extra point which was good.  We were offsides.  Woody took the penalty taking the point off the board and then went for 2.  I watched it from the south endzone where it all took place.

Short sale

Talk to your lender about a short sale. If that fails consider a buy and bail.

Painted Bird

Jerzy Kosinski arrived at UM as a Writer in Residence the same year tha Bo arrived.

Tom Coyle

That was not the only time Bo had to deal with Tom Coyle's drinking.  Coyle got drunk one night and threw a firewwod log through the window of my fraternity house at 620 S. State Street.  Rather than call the police, we called Bo.  He thanked us for not involving the police and said he would take care of it.  The next day Tom Coyle showed up to aplogize and fixed the window.  Until now, I had no idea he had prior glazing experience as a house painter.
