I was at that game and at the end people were honking their horns in the parking lot for like 10 mins celebrating it was awesome. I was about 10 l, what a game
Bob Griese. Bless his heart, he used to say that many times. But it's not like that wasn't true. With the stadium spread out like a giant salad bowl with no decks and no boxes to hold the sound in, there was nowhere for it to go but up. I still thought we did good despite that handicap. Listen to the crowd in the 97 OSU game for example. But like you said, that's not an issue anymore.
Hey do you have those last two games uploaded with Michigan versus Michigan State and Michigan versus Penn State. Sadly both were before I went to Michigan and really started checking out their games and history. I'd like to see if you have them someplace. Thank you.
Tom Brady was better. Just never got a fair shake. Brian Griese would be the best quarterback. He got it done and has the chip to prove it. Brady was on that team as well. Just didn't get a chance .
One problem with that statement.....Henne, Hart, Manningham never beat BRUTUS. And trust me, that sucks for me to type that out because I'm a huge Michigan fan.....but hey, 11/27/21 was a great day for Michigan football!
I loved that team! The thing is though, Mario was a great WR - but...... he has got to be one of the most overrated of the Michigan greats. Whether it be the fact he didn't have very good hands, way worse than say Braylon - who by his Jr and Sr seasons was the king of impossible receptions and never deserved the rep for drops n in those years ad even on into 2nd to 3rd yr in the Pro's whee he was having a fantastic career before taking a sudden plunge. He had a phenomenal 1st two seasons for the Browns, and was easily one of the best receivers in the country and helped propel the Brownies to either the playoff's - or was it just shy of them - cuz i believe they went 8 and 8 the one year that they had Anderson at the helm with Jamal Lewis (still a darn good back at the time), Stallworth, Steptoe, Cribbs, and possibly one of the most athletic and talented top 5 TE's in college and NFL history -in Wnslow before his idiotic bike accident killed career. It wasn't til his third year where he actually tarted dropping passes and by the time he was at the Jets - it had become a full-fledged problem and he was so unsure of himself by then that he had pretty psyched himself out. Too bad. Then there's the fact that he isn't/wasn't a daring or hard-nosed sorta guy either. More of a Moss than a TO - if u know what i mean. And that's why when there was a big play needed, like 3rd and long or somethin, it was Adrian Arrngton who Henne trusted the most to throw too. Adrian was really the best guy on that team, and between some of the best hands in Michigan history, he also was ridiculously athletic and properly utilized his 6'3" size to his advantage, like other great biog WR's at Michigan over the years: like Streets, Funchess, Toomer, Alexander, McMurtry, Terrel, Hemmingway, Stonom, Mathews, and Avant. Tho not the fastest, he was however far from being considered slow, which many people would over-state all the time back then. But just like Streets, Perry, Wheately, and others - who all suffered from huge, pretty much in Perry's and Streets case - completely d\ended their careers, and pretty much did for him at the Saints as well. Manningham was in that Breaston, Belamy, Mercury Hayes, marcus Knight, Callaway, and Roundtree mold: fast and quick average to slightly larger than average WR's. He was def a good player, but nowhere near worthy of admonishing that he's gotten from fams - plus sports journalists and the like. I have many guys that that i'd want ocver him over the years: Of course - Braylon - and then on to Streets, Toomer, Terrel, Arrington, Avant, Alexander, Funchess, AC, McMurtry, Breaston, Chesson, Darboh, and even with Mathews, Belamy, Stonom, Walker, Knight, Gallon, Howard, Hayes, Roundtree, and even maybe Kolesar - all are nipping at his heels. That's not as much that he was simply not a verty good player or somethin - no, infact it's just that Michigan has had a slew of decent t- to really good - to amazing, Wr's over the years. I mean compare them to Ohio State's history of wr's, where there's only Michael Jenkins, Chris Carter, Germany, Holmes, Ginn Jr, Gonzalez, Galloway, Glenn, Dev Smith, Geary Johnson, Hartline, Posey, and literally - that's about it! So about a dozen or so, possibly a little more, top-level Ohio-State WR's - compared to Michigan's total of more than 20 - and on up to maybe even 25 or so! So he's certainly no slouch by any stretch of the imagination, but he is however: he isn't even remotely worthy of the almost worship that many Michigan fans see him as a god on the same level as a Streets, Braylon, Avant Terrell, Toomer, Alexander, Breaston, Carter, and others and even somehow ahead of the likes of Arriington, matthews, mcMurtry, Stonom, Gallon, knight, Walker, and Chesson - who all by comparison are treated as scrubs in contrast to the praise/worship that Mario receives - (no pun intended)! But that's my take on it anyways.
You're insane, dude. Mario is one of the best to ever wear maize and blue. Without him we lose tons of games we ended up winning. He was elite. Could have been even more special if he had the right attitude--that's what kept him from being a Heisman tier player.
It's not that he was wasn't great, but seriously, there were plenty of dude who did everything he could do while also having better hands, were taller, more athletic, and better at breaking tackles an put up better numbers, along with some who would have put up better numbers if they had been thrown to as much as he was.
@@8301TheJMan he was thrown too a lot for a reason, as a freshman caught one of the biggest catches of Michigan history to beat 1/2 Penn State stop playing with that man name. Let alone he had a better nfl career than anybody from Michigan you tryna name. I’d take rio over Braylen Edward’s his superbowl catch alone solidified his name and you talking like this stop
