| 0:00.0 | Chris Ballas for the Wolverine.com, the Michigan Insider. |
| 0:02.9 | He was at the big house on Saturday last Friday. |
| 0:06.8 | Chris and Doug Skeen, they were honest. |
| 0:08.6 | They thought it was too tough of a team to overcome. |
| 0:11.8 | A lot of people did. |
| 0:12.7 | I almost was a lone wolf out there on Facebook and Twitter predicted a Michigan win. |
| 0:18.2 | But the one thing Chris did talk about, if Michigan did this, this, and this, they would win, and they did that, that, that, and more. And just kicking the Buckeyes. But the score was very misleading. The crowd was as loud as I've ever heard it. You were there, Chris. And I said this after the game in a tweet and a Facebook post, |
| 0:39.3 | I have pinned right now that that day, the complete day, the game, the post game celebration |
| 0:47.7 | was a defining moment for any Michigan fan player or coach. It really was. Yeah, and it needs to be going forward. And that's what Kate McNamara, Michigan's quarterback said in the post game. He said, it's not about one win. It's about, we've done it. Now we've got to continue to do it and build on it, just like the 1969 team did. And a lot of the old timers that we talked to, Bill, said the same thing. |
| 1:11.6 | They were at both of those games, and they said it was very similar, that, okay, this is the start of something. As Jim Harbaugh said, it felt like the beginning. Yeah. Now, he later said that he said he felt like the beginning of something, maybe this season. but you could tell he was talking about long-term here |
| 1:26.2 | because they finally played close to their best game in this rivalry, |
| 1:30.5 | which had been missing. And when I knew they had a chance, Bill, I saw them in the post, in the pregame. When they were warming up, there was something palpable. It was in the air, and you could sense that they thought they were going to win. And then they went in the tunnel at halftime, Bill, and I saw your tweet on that. And they were chirping at those guys like, okay. |
| 1:47.7 | Wow. thought they were going to win. And then when they went in the tunnel at halftime, Bill, and I saw your tweet on that, and they were chirping at those guys like, okay, and Ohio State was looking back like, okay, what is this? They punched the bully in the mouth, and those guys did not get up. So credit to that, really, the atmosphere was amazing. The crowd was amazing, one of the best I've ever heard. Literally one of the best two or three atmospheres I've ever seen in the big house right up there with that night game against Notre Dame bill. It was unbelievable. Chris Biles and the Wolverine.com. Joining us, you can follow everything Michigan leading up to the Big Ten championship game Saturday night against Iowa. We'll get to that in a moment at the Wolverine.com. Also they have a huge deal to sign up right now for a buck. But that video, |
| 2:22.1 | when I saw it right after the game, Herb Street had tweeted it out real early and no one got |
| 2:27.0 | on it because the game was going on, right? And I saw it from Herb Street's feed from around |
| 2:33.1 | halftime. |
| 2:37.1 | And the sound of Michigan coming up the tunnel. |
| 2:45.6 | And, you know, and the Ohio State players turning around like going what the, and the way Michigan, it wasn't, it wasn't Miami of Florida and, you know, Notre Dame Notre Dame ask it was just the noise they were |
| 2:54.9 | making that were coming that you're you're not going to win the it it's a goose bump for any |
| 3:01.0 | sports fan I don't care who you root for unless you're an I know state fan you probably won't |
