• Until Another 100 Years of Michigan Football is Played | This Week in Michigan Football History

    Nineteen seventy-nine was a special year in Michigan football history, as that season marked the 100th season that your beloved Wolverines played this great game.   To do it up right, the athletic department (#1000SSS) enlisted Bo’s better half, Millie Schembechler, to collect artifacts from over the first century to display for fans at Crisler Arena during the season. The Homecoming game of 1979 added to the collection of great Meechigan artifacts – in the win column, in video, and thanks to the great Bob Ufer – forever in sound. Indiana coached Lee Corso, came to town and was on the brink of walking out of the Big House with a 21-21 tie – a huge result for the Hoosiers of course. Things looked grim but Johnny Wangler, Anthony Carter, and Bob Ufer wouldn’t have it.  On the final play — oh, you know what happened — but we couldn’t help but to feature old ‘Ufe on this week’s edition of #TWIMFbH: Listen: Go Blue!  Beat the Badgers.  You can listen to this on-air as part of the WTKA 1050AM ‘Keybank Countdown To Kickoff’ aired live from the Go Labatt Blue Victors lounge at the corner of Stadium and Main Saturday starting at 3:30pm.   Script: On this day in MEEECHIGAN football history in 1979 people were feeling nostalgic about Michigan football.…
