To this day I don't know what Rich Rod said in that locker room at half time, but he worked up some magic.

i remember i was at my sophmore year homecoming when this game happened listening to it on the radio after our dinner haha terrible times for a Michigan fan back then but this was a great moment.

The 2008 Michigan team was 90% incompetence, 10% flashes of brilliance. The second half of this game, the second half of the Utah game, the first half of the Illinois game, the first quarter of the Penn State game, the Minnesota game, and the first three quarters of the Michigan State game. Unfortunately for Michigan, the rest of the year was a comedy of errors.

I love when Brad Nessler sounded really suprised when threet was running with the ball on that 50-yard run! It was hilarious! Go Blue!

[@Tigersfan829]

I think through the rest of the Rich Rod years and Hoke years this was still the worst half of football I've ever seen Michigan play. Just glad some weird shit happened in the second half.

[@kmir224]

the most important play of the game was left out. Threet was picked off at the last play of the first half, and thankfully made the tackle to prevent a pick-6. If Wisky gets that, they go up 26-0 at the half

I don't think people realize how much better we are goin to be. We now have an ACTUAL d-coordinator in Greg Robinson, we are getting faster, and we have an ACTUAL quarterback in Tate Forcier, who has scared off Beaver, Newsome, and now threet, who wouldn't have played again anyways. If Minor, Brown, and Hemingway who all were hurt at first, stay healthy all year, i beleive we can do what the Michigan basketball team is doing right now, and RR's history proves we can! Go Blue!

I was at this game, best game i have ever been to. To bad it was the only highlight to the season

[@hogeboon19]

Amen. He did use it well in the beginning of the Illinois game but our defense decided they didn't want to play. He also did pretty good against Penn St.

[@ideeo19]

I was at this game.. amazing

[@kingofhearts234]

finally a game this year i can watch without crying... GO BLUE!!!

[@Outrider74]

How on earth did we win that game???

[@themike95]

This was on yesterday! Great game.

[@goblue918]

Ok everybody, things will be ok, we have 2 quarterbacks that can actually pass, and they can run. Things will start getting better from here on, our recruiting class is filled with speed and athletisism, and all the current powers in college football like Oklahoma, USC, Florida, LSU, Texas, and Georgia and so on, that's all they have, speed and athletisism. History shows that every place RR goes, it takes about a couple of years before he starts getting the 11 win seasons. Go Blue!

Looking back, I kinda wonder if Rich Rodriguez could have actually been successful at Michigan if given a bit more time. People tend to forget that his record actually improved each of his three years as the Wolverines coach.

[@parsnipproductions8875]

I was 8 years old when this happened and I remember it like it was yesterday

[@jmcieslak0]

disastrous season but at least we have this game

[@WolverineHistorian]

I read it up to the day before the 2008 season started. Then I stopped. I couldn't relive those games over again where about 20 different winning streaks went up in smoke.

[@goblue918]

And when threet made that 50-yard run, I just thought, next year, when either Forcier or Beaver is runnin that ball, that'll be a touchdown! Oh I can feel it now. Nice job by threet though to keep it, it's hard to make those reads in a split second like that though. And he made sure to hang onto the ball, I was nervous he was goin to fumble it at the end there. Go Blue!

[@WolverineHistorian]

I was lucky. I just happened to be channel surfing and I saw the game listed on the Big Ten network so I taped it. After pigging out on Thanksgiving dinner, I made sure to upload it.
