I quit my job to watch this game! When I was hired I told those fockers I don't work Saturdays! Boss calls and says...yes you have to come in to work! I said no I focking don't! No one loves college football more than this guy!!

[@markg.7865]

Way to go, bud! Go Blue!!

[@mfriedrich2012]

@@lloydkline3265 I was only 16 and it was my first job (sacking groceries) and no I couldn't listen on the radio!

@@ynp1978 legendary Michigan state vs Michigan game was 1978, that when kirk Gibson , eddie smith the quarterback and company beat Michigan, I still trying to find out on KZbin, I am Michigan football and basketball fan, I am so happy Michigan beat Notre dame Saturday, they probably would not renew the series if notre dame would have won notre dame too good for Michigan ,it good for recruiting

Bob Ufer was the best sport calling of U of M football. I love this guy and his broadcast. I would go to the games and listen on a radio to him calling the plays. He was the greatest period..

[@halbarbour7340]

Used to tune down the volume on the TV and turn up the volume on the radio because of Bob Ufer!

[@DMichiganWol21]

It's always better when UFER calls it

[@lloydkline3265]

Bob ufer was the greatest football radio announcers, he was lucky he did not do game when Michigan real bad football team

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Wow.Michigan had at least 3 punts blocked in 79.Backbreaker against Ohio State

[@scootdaws25]

I was at that one. It was a killer.

[@edwarddegalan107]

I love Ufer calling Michigan players "Arrogant Asses" at the end. His Michigan passion was courageous. Go Blue!

[@nathaniellathy6559]

Ufer tells analyst fine observation. 😆🤣😂😹

[@christopherzalewski678]

Why cant I find the 78 game with Kirk Gibson running everywhere?

[@WolverineHistorian]

The game wasn't broadcast on TV because of MSU's punishment for massive recruiting violations.; No games broadcast on TV for three seasons (1976, 77, 78). One and only time Gibson beat Michigan. I wish I had copies of his other three games where he was a non-factor.

[@loydkline]

@WolverineHistorian it great news for Michigan football fans ; bad news for Michigan state football fans
