97 is still kind of blurry. Don't remember much. Killed a lot of brain cells that year.

"I don't mean to sound arrogant, but.." - how every Michigan fan starts a sentence when talking about Michigan football

If those two wouldve played for the right to be sole national champion at the end of the 97 season, nebraska would've beaten the piss out of the wolverines

Nebraska. No discussion needed.

Will vote any team other than Michigan in all future polls unless it's "who's fans are worse". Looking at you mnb.

Don't mean to sound arrogant, but, Ryan Leaf spiked the ball with time left on the clock in the Rose Bowl.

This is the best, I forgot how funny that was. Go Big Red.

1/2 title since 1950 = Michigan tradition of excellence

I actually quite enjoyed the first game Nebraska played against us in the B10 -- their fans were quite pleasant. Despite what people think, we don't sit around and perseverate about sharing the 1997 title. Nebraska won the full coaches NC and Michigan won the full AP NC. That's just the way the system worked back then.

You're just mad that I called out Ole Miss for their shady recruiting practices.

I'm not sure why people think it's so cut and dry? Michigan faced 6 teams that were in the top 15 when we played them and beat them all. In the last 3 games of the season we beat the #2 and #4 ranked teams.

The 94 psu team would have put up more of a fight

Well I can't speak for everyone else but my reasoning is because Michigan...

John Cooper is still shitting out pieces of Ki-Jana Carter's cleat to this day from that year.

I had Nebraska. I think this was the year Nebraska had the miracle at Mizzu. Pass looks like it will fall incomplete, but hits a foot and bounces up into a Nebraska players hands to tie the game and send it into overtime. That was one of the craziest games ever. I am not sure if Michigan had anything like that. I do remember thinking that was the worst Nebraska NC team of that time. Best team of the year, but I think the comparison to the Frazier teams opened the door for Michigan.
