2009: Michigan 38 Notre Dame 34 (PART 1)

[@Stytches]

This game was AWESOME!!!!! So happy to see the players on BOTH sides truly playing for the pride of their programs. I remember how intense, dirty, and passionate these games used to be when I was a kid, THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE GAMES. After all the flux these programs have been dealing with over the past few years, I truly believe both are back on track and ready to dominate just like the old days. I bet both of these teams will be back in the top 15 at the end of the season.

[@Cromulus420]

I will remember this game for the rest of my life. I was in New York City wearing my Michigan-Florida Citrus Bowl victory shirt and hat. First I had an amazing street performer sing a song about Michigan to me and then we met some more Michigan fans at the Highline Park in Chelsea. We finally made our way to a bar which turned out to be a huge Irish bar. We sat quietly at first and got louder as the game went on (and more Blue fans walked in). Finally the night culminated in that beautiful TD.

[@KeepRockin55]

This is my 2nd favorite Michigan win over ND, my first being 1999, my first Michigan game ever with my dad. 10 Year Reunion!

[@Amaizenblue86]

Forcier is a leader, great quarterback, great decision maker. Future is bright at UM!

[@goblue918]

Forcier was amazing, but the man I never expected to have a great game was Darryl Stonum of all people, him and Greg Matthews stepped up big for Hemmingway, and Kevin Koger is still our beast at tight end, what an offesne! Go Blue!

[@vidEvWill]

Love this game, you Rock the house...thanks 4 posting.

[@zoltanroolz]

What a great game - thanks for posting this

[@sharktrinity]

Thanks for the upload... even though I do like ND. Hopefully both programs will resurge in the near future.

[@tbmike23]

This was an exciting game, glad Michigan won, but they kept showing this GORGEOUS Notre Dame girl in the stands during the game including right after the game winning touchdown and I felt bad for breaking her heart. What a doll!

[@schwabbamoose]

Thanks Andy! Love your stuff.

[@sahggers]

i've been waiting for this, thanks man

[@BariCM]

I'm glad to see that there are people who show both sides of the ball in classic games! I don't know how many idiots I've seen who only show THEIR winning team's scores. thank u so much! Oh, and Texas no. 2 on that victories list HOOK 'EM! (apologies to Michigan fans who are still angry at texas)

[@goblue918]

Yea Stonum really suprised me yesterday cause he had been struggling in camp and last year, but he always made some catches that showed you his potential and now that I found out he's not goin to be injured for next week, hes completely fine, I know we have added another weapon to our offense, and he's got 4.4 speed, so he can maybe a good vertical threat, as long as the o-line gives Tate time in the pocket. Go Blue!

[@hockeyguy9125]

amazing, one of the best games i have ever seen.....GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@goblue918]

I'm pretty sure my neighbors could hear me and my dad throughout the game too, especially that last touchdown! Go Blue

[@WolverineHistorian]

Every so often, there seems to be a few players who don't touch the banner. It's weird, yes. But not out of the ordinary. A few games I uploaded from the early 80's show the great Anthony Carter not touching the banner either.

[@WolverineHistorian]

Oh, believe me. I LOVE listening to Frank and Jim. Heck, I bring the radio into the big house with me so I can hear them after scores. But I have dish network, which means my TV is 4-6 seconds behind real time on the radio. So I don't exactly have a choice.

[@AnistonAnarchist]

THREE-PARTER?! Thank you, WH! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I loved this game! Just a classic finish and surely a new cornerstone in this epic rivalry. Bring on Eastern Michigan, bitches!

[@ixcuincle]

Twas a great game. Thanks for uploading

[@McSomething15]

Exactly. It wasn't those calls by the refs, which were good by the way, that beat you. It was not running out the clock, and the inability to stop a true freshman QB from driving down the field that beat you. Just imagine how much better this kid (Forcier) is gonna be in the coming years when he has more weapons around him. Things are gonna get sick.

[@WolverineHistorian]

Also, on Odoms catch over the middle on our last drive, slow it down and watch as the ND defender CLEARLY is on Odoms' back while the ball is in the air. Granted he caught the ball, but that wasn't definite until the play ended. A flag clearly should've been thrown. Also, what about Robinson getting tackled out of bounds? Even the announcer commented on the late hit. Ahhh, Domers with their selective memories.

[@ilovenaltsvideos]

you are totally right on that one. everyone's like "players from notre dame have won more heisman trophies than any other team." and it's like who cares it was 60, 70, 80 years ago.

[@WolverineHistorian]

I saw that too. The picture shows a perfect view of his foot from the ground and it is in fact out of bounds. No TD. But I doubt that stops Domer fans from complaining about it. How much did we pay the refs again? Because I forgot my check. ;-)

[@McSomething15]

I love it when Michigan is able to go down into Florida and beat the Gators. Especially in the years where their "Superman" QB wins the Heisman.

[@bbj0322]

I have Dish Network too. Do you have the DVR? Just keep plating with the pause and play buttons the first drive of the game. Soon enough, you'll be listening to Frank and Jim in sync with the TV. Mine's usually 23 seconds behind cuz I stream it through my computer from MGoBlue. Can't watch a game now without it.

[@McSomething15]

I really think the neighbors could here me yelling (happily) when Stonum ran that kickoff back. lol

[@McSomething15]

Right, all of your favorited videos being of Notre Dame says otherwise.

[@Ooftyman]

Few have wasted such enormous talent at Michigan as Daryl Stonum...

[@BluebomberX3]

Okay this is going to be a dumb question but I'll ask anyway since I've never been to a UM Football game.What's it like inside the big house?

[@HELPmeMOD]

This game was amazing. HAIL TO THE VICTORS!

[@dhheaps]

You've also probably never seen a CB cover a guy all day with one arm. Cissoko was unable to lift one of his arms over his before the game because of a stinger from last week. There was some residual nerve damage. Not really that bad a performance when you consider that information.

[@MightierToaster]

In Rod we Trust, never once doubted the man. Expect a 5-0 start, 6-0 depending if Iowa is playing like they did against UNI

[@TheSweetSensation]

Michigan Football, has returned. This is by far, the hungriest Wolverine team I've ever seen. November 21st, 2009. Mark it on your calenders. We're gonna make Ohio State our bitch.

[@WolverineHistorian]

I never said he had a great day. It was cringeworthy for him, to be exact. In fact, I turned to my dad and said ND will probably throw in his direction all day. And yet you STILL lost. Regardless, every complaint you made about the officials was replied to - including many plays that ND got away with. And yet you STILL haven't got a leg to stand on. Thank you for not looking at the entire picture and coming here to remind us why the world despises ND fans so much.

[@Dmoney8dos]

6:20 little Martavious Odoms lays that big dude out!!!!

[@buttersbrian]

I don't presume to know whether they do or not, just that the news Articles contradict what you are saying. Saying that those were were NOT available. I feel like that is probably the truth. However, you are right that good calls matter, whether it hurts or helps. I will say that the holding call on that 75 yd TE td was bad, very bad. And they let Cissoko get away with murder. That guy was toast all day. The calls are infuriating because they were on large plays.

[@BrenMcCloud]

Why so quiet? I will be ashamed to call myself a Michigan fan for the first time in my life if the Big House isn't at least 25 million times louder than this tommorow. You have the power to beat o-s-who, those going to the game! Use it!!! GO BLUE!!!

[@MattChandikMedia]

Anyone notice who's had two of the biggest blocks to spring our two longest TDs this year? 5'8", 170 pounds of dreadlocked monster.

[@Stytches]

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Atreyufolife]

@WolverineHistorian AMEN!!!

[@Obeefnik]

hey, that was my first game too, and a great way to start my college years...if only Lloyd had realized that he should be starting Tom Brady instead of just letting him conduct the comebacks, maybe MI would have seen a few more national championships in that era

[@McSomething15]

He really didn't have a problem with that this week. I don't think he put the ball on the ground once all game. Hopefully he can keep that up.

[@BlitzinLB27]

Millen is actually a damn good announcer..

[@gerfall]

2009... The year I was too disappointed from 2008 to watch UM football.

[@goblue918]

Pretty sure Michigan's record is 2-0 against florida, pretty sure we have 11 national championships to floridas 3. We are #1 in all-time wins and winning percentage. Enough said. Go Blue!

[@KINGWYCO]

i like this team they play agressive

[@GOllumboy101]

I was at that game :D

[@McSomething15]

Any more "glaring" examples you'd like to point out? So that I can show how you're completely wrong. And how many bad PI calls were thrown at Michigan? How many times were the ND o-lineman able to tackle the defenders to stop them from making a play?

[@WolverineHistorian]

He is. But I still hate him for what he did with the Lions. I just don't think he should call any games in the state of Michigan for a while.

[@bbj0322]

WolverineHistorian!? You listen to the TV announcers (you said Millen... or the worst of all, Musberger) during games??!! Can't believe you dont do like we do and sync up the TV with the radio so Frank and Jim are giving us the play by play.

[@a2rons882]

Boy did I think Forcier was going to be something

[@buttersbrian]

Hmm. Are you 100% sure about that? I have seen multiple news reports that the angles shown by WNDU were NOT accessible to the refs. Yes, they made the right call there and I agree he stepped out, but with what was shown prior, he DEF had not stepped out and it was 100% not conclusive and surely not sure enough to overturn a call on the field. The point is, the news stated those angles were NOT available. Those were NBC cameras with that angle, it was a ESPN/ABC game. The call should stand.

[@WolverineHistorian]

The Rudolph TD that got called back - Cissoko was nailed in the back on a block. No call. No mention of that. Also, on Inside ND football the host and Charlie were complaining that on the last long pass they threw, Warren interfered with Tate, even though it looked like Tate was pulling Warren down. Not sure why Tate didn't get called for taunting going into the endzone holding the ball out and looking at the Michigan players. Lost a lot of respect for Golden Tate on Saturday. Whining all game.

[@buttersbrian]

It is not. It's logic. If they don't have that angle, which I'm positive they didn't, then they didn't have an angle that was indisputable. It's simple logic. I hope you are not a lawyer. A diff angle from WNDU's NBC cameras show they made an excellent call, but did so with different camera angles that were by no means indisputable. Also, Michigan should be proud of their team. They are arriving sooner than expected and gelling. I like it when Michigan's good. It makes CFB better.

[@conqueror2001]

Greg Mathews is the truth!

[@jdruwitme]

Happiest day every when Michigan beats Notre Dame on an amazing game than i get to watch truck driver pryor lose

[@kpo1303]

whats that cheer they kept doing all game thats like ooooh ah ah ah ooooh?

[@McSomething15]

The foot on the white line seems pretty "indisputable" to me. Foot on the line = no TD. Genius.

[@Astronaut890]

@deafro1001 yeah im watching the oregon offense and im like "thats what we should be like" lol

[@cmoney7463]

when was the last time football was played in the past? those years dont mean anything anymore...its all about this year

[@wolverineeagle]

I never understand why people talk trash on videos that have nothing to do with their team. WHo cares how many titles UF has won in the past 4 years? College football has been around alot longer than 4 years. All Clear is child. That much is clear.

[@McSomething15]

"I miss Keith Jackson. " Don't we all.

[@TheZooCrew]

Hey, allclear...let me know the last time Florida beat Michigan? That's what I thought.

[@uberdude123456789]

look at that punt.

[@zackcoolman28]

at this game!

[@TheZooCrew]

No green between a runner's foot and the sideline even in high-def and zoomed in is pretty indisputable to me.

[@McSomething15]

There's absolutely no doing it any justice by describing it to someone. You want to know what it's like? You're just gonna have to find a way to make a game one day.

[@BluebomberX3]

hello can some1 mention Brandon Minor please? haha 16 carries 106 yds and a TD hes a beast....look for 1100 yards from him and Mich will win 10 games (including a win over the Fuckeyes and a bowl win)

[@Astronaut890]

@kpo1303 seven nation army by the white stripes we took a page out of penn state's book

[@McSomething15]

You seem to have been pretty defensive about Notre Dame this entire time for someone claiming to not be a fan. Funny. All of your arguments get ripped to shreds, then you claim, basically, that it doesn't matter because that isn't your team. Amazing how things work like that.

[@McSomething15]

week*

[@McSomething15]

So much for that decided tactical advandtage, eh Charlie?

[@tchaf14]

God those uniforms are sexual. The blue with that maize.

[@garrisondyer]

Whatever happened to good college football TV announcers? These guys just blah blah blah you to death, and then at the end of a great play they catch themselves and attempt to do their jobs for once, but it just ends up sounding forced. I miss Keith Jackson.

[@thecarrotdude]

rofl boubacar cissoko sucked. but what was he doing anyway that got him kicked off, missing practice?

[@goblue918]

Same here, I never doubted the man! I knew all he had to do is get his guys and we would start winning, he brought in a qb who can run and throw better than pryor. And now charlie weis is making up excuses starting with the officials, what a dumbass. He should be worried about tryig to win against a team he's 1-3 against, and thats our little brother, msu. Go Blue!

[@McSomething15]

All I know is that Michigan is currently ranked. So someone obviously gives some form of a shit. And that Michigan beat UF in Florida in Tebow's Heisman winning "Superman" year. And that Ron Zook era of "yours" wasn't all that long ago. I do still find it funny that you didn't claim UF until AFTER all of your arguments against Michigan in Saturday's game were ripped apart. And it's not like you weren't getting called a Notre Dame fan the whole time.

[@TheZooCrew]

Haha, because Florida is so much tougher than Michigan. This Detroiter laughs as you.

[@BigSpencer77]

Lmao Matt Million did unfortunetley dampen the experience for me

[@JRoss2410]

if you are a florida fan that makes you 0-2 against Michigan anyways, no wonder you are bitter about this game!

[@McSomething15]

doesn't*

[@foshizzlesteve03]

I watch ohio state videos and notre dame videos and you NEVER see michigan fans goin on there trashin the other team. So why do they do it? I think their jealous that the vest is running a slow and boring offense and nervous there little win streak against michigan might not last that much longer, notre dame had a pretty effecient offense. Lets see how they do when clauson declares for the draft

[@McSomething15]

No, you're "making shit up" because you just can't handle the fact that your coach just isn't the offensive genius he'd like you to believe.

[@McSomething15]

"arrogant Notre Dame fans"? Isn't that a redundant phrase? :P

[@foshizzlesteve03]

Michigan pullin in fast recruits. Ohio state pullin in fat recruits.

[@thegenius5]

There were calls both ways that were blown, like most games. This argument that they did not have access to the angle when THE RIGHT CALL WAS MADE is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. You admitted he was out of bounds, discussion is over. Ultimately, ND had a chance to run the clock out with their offense or win with their defense at the end. Both failed. Move on.

[@TheZooCrew]

Here's YOUR reality check...you lost. Allen was clearly out of bounds and if you look up any news story ever about that call, they all agree and the BCS sanctioned it. Officiating was awful on both sides and whining about it makes you pathetic. The refs shouldn't have mattered. No excuses. Play like a champion.

[@WolverineHistorian]

Every school does that cheer. It's not very original and I don't care for it.

[@cmoney7463]

came back here for nostalgia purposes and my god was the secondary terrible...Cissoko was awful

[@Never83]

I'm sorry, what happened to all of those loudmouth, arrogant Notre Dame fans? LoL

[@WolverineHistorian]

Still bitching and moaning about not being rewarded a touchdown that was proven not to be a touchdown. You...are...pathetic.
