Michigan-Ohio State 2011 | Postgame Photos
A few from the field in the fourth quarter and the aftermath: Everitt Rules So here’s Fitz’s not-a-touchdown. When I saw it live I thought his knee was down. Watching the replay, I can’t believe they felt they had enough to overturn it but whatever. Denard’s postgame football grenade put everyone on the turf right after the final whistle. Nothing’s easy. Denard was dinged up a bit in the student section before ‘The Victors’ and had to find some space Seemed like Mike Martin didn’t want to leave the field Related: Beat Ohio Postgame (Photos) Dr. Sap’s Decals–We Beat Ohio!

Visiting Hours: Schembechler Hall Museum
[Update: Call ahead due to COVID restrictions] Want a rapid virtual tour of the Schembechler Hall Towsley Family Museum? Check it out here from 2020: Because the media huddles inside the museum inside Schembechler Hall (officially the Margaret Dow Towsley Sports Museum), I’ve been able to check out the displays quite a few times. I was never clear on whether it was open to the public. As far as I understand it, it was open many years ago, then closed for a spell for whatever reason. The hours are Monday-Thursday 9-12 and 1-4, and Friday 9-1. It’s worth a look and if you haven’t been there in a while they’ve added some new displays. Reader Corey recently visited and took some great shots, you can view them all here. A few favorities: Again, you can see all of them here. Follow MVictors on Twitter !

Gator Bowl 2011 – Pregame Photos
I had a chance to hop on the field before the game. First off, it’s just a perfect day here – can’t say more. The EverBank Field gridiron appears to be in excellent shape – a couple gashes visible here and there but only up close. While I’m not natural grass expert I can safely say the grass is cut very tight—specifically 9/16” per Nick, the head groundscrew guy in charge of it all: Naturally Nick is a Spartan, having graduated from MSU’s prolific turf grass school. He’d much rather be in Orlando watching his Spartans battle Saban and crew, but he expects to be peppered with texts throughout the game for updates. Nick had the painful task, for a Spartan that is, of making this happen in the North endzone (but he did a nice job): Michigan’s end zone is North, the and the Wolverine players will be on the East sideline. Here’s a view looking South: Go Blue. And if you’re not on the Twitter, get on the Twitter, I already tweeted out photos an hour ago!

Lovely Parents – Big Chill | Sights & Sounds
It was quite a day in the Big House yesterday and Michigan smoked the Spartans 5-0 in front of 113,000 plus. A few notes: Sam and Ira firing up the Victors Lounge before the game. Ira taught fans the traditional Yost chants all week but the classic “UGLY PARENTS” was left in the chamber in the shut-out. An example of the nice touches they included – the hockey team going under the Go Blue banner before the game Mike Hart was in attendance. I asked him if he smoked peace pipe with Jim Harbaugh. Hart told me he’d support whomever is Michigan’s coach, including Harbaugh, but reminded me that Rich Rodriguez is our coach. Teams assembling for the national anthem. My weak lens doesn’t illustrate the view from the 6th level of the press box. Surprising to me, you could actually following the puck very well up there. Unfortunately I couldn’t see the stealth bomber fly over from the photo deck but it got rave reviews from folks in the stadium. Funny – I didn’t see this on the rack at Moe’s Almost 5 minutes into the game I left the photo deck and headed to my east side seats. The West lower concourse was a mess – huge lines. There was no wait to get in on the…
