If our kicker, who I worried about all year, doesn’t miss a FG and an extra point, I would have nailed the score at 31-20.
I just wish I had every cellphone number of AAAAAAAAALLL the national pundits who said we didn’t have a shot of winning. I just wanna call Joey Galloway right now and yell in his phone what Pops and I both yelled at the end of the game organically, “Holy Shit They Won! **CK EVERYBODY!“ I looked at Pops and said, “I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY…THIS NEVER HAPPENS TO US!” And anybody over 45 knows..we always got screwed in the big game while Bo was coach..every freaking year something **cked up would happen, like Lendale White fumbling on the 3 yard line and the refs still called it a touchdown, with OJ murdering ass Simpson himself on the sidelines doing reports. On that play he said, “Yeah…he fumbled on the 3, but I’m from SC so TOUCHDOWN!” I never forgot that and hated his guts for years. When he finally went to prison for something, I remembered that Rose Bowl and said to my self, ”Karma may be late sometimes, but it always arrives eventually.”
This victory is chock full of karma. Namely it’s a fist down the throats of every SEC Saban butt sucker like Finebaum and Steven A Smith, who all said that Michigan might not be able to score on Alabama..that Wilson, Johnson, and their WRs couldn’t get open against SEC CBs and Safties. About how Michigan’s OL was not good enough to run on Alabama..about how Michigan’s Tackles were too slow to block Alabama‘s elite DEs. I sat there and ate it all like it was my famous food processor chocolate mousse, a recipe I invented that reduced an hours long process into 20 minutes, then mixed with a quart of heavy cream along with any flavoring, like a gorgeously decadent French Briottet Hazelnut crème liqueur, let it sit overnight and boom!..good luck finding a more perfectly dense yet velvety smooth mousse made with Belgian chocolate. I won 2 blue ribbon 1st place awards with my recipe and would just laugh knowing the guys I beat were doing it the old way. A victory like that is just like Michigan’s win today, which I never doubted..telling Pops when Michigan was down with 4 minutes left, “You watch. They are not going to be denied. The 4th down play raised my blood pressure a bit, but I was fine after that. I thought Harbaugh was going to go for 2 to win it, but I was fine with tying it up. When it went to OT I said to Pops, “the last time Michigan went to OT in a bowl game against an Alabama team everyone thought was going to beat us, it was 24 years ago and Tom Brady was our QB. We scored a TD first, Alabama scored a TD to answer, but you could tell they were tight..they were supposed to blow Michigan off the field like this game, and it caught up to them when their kicker missed the extra point. You watch, If we win the coin flip Jim will take the ball against the scared traditional play of taking the ball 2nd, so you know what you need to score. Watch Harbaugh be super aggressive and Michigan will score a TD easily, putting all the pressure on Milroe and ‘Bama because even their players were saying Michigan couldn’t compete with SEC speed and talent. You watch…they’ll choke and Michigan will either get a turnover or their OC will panic and put it all on Milroe’s running..which Michigan has been focused on stopping him for a month.”
Sure enough. When ‘Bama was 3 yards away with one play, with me chanting, "One play..One play fellas. they're gonna rum Milroe up the middle..they're too scared to call anything else. Just one time football gods..just one time don't **ck us over! One Play! It's Milroe right up the gut! Everybody knows it. KILL THAT GUY AT THE …NOT A SINGLE FOOT!"
Then it happened..Mikey was wrapping up his feet at the 4 while Michigan's DL buried him..not giving up an inch! Pops and I exploded…we couldn't believe things actually fell our way for once. like i said, you young fans didn't see how many times things didn't go our way..or were straight out stolen from us as purposeful acts of sabotage..like the 2016 Michigan vs OSU game. where we were purposefully cheated out of a win, so obvious that Day's idiot brother named his company "4th and 1" as a sarcastic dig at Michigan..because even the sucknuts knew this was witchcraft from the B1G Conference Commissioner's office, as many employees under him, like the head of referees, that Delaney had told him to call "Big Games" the Wolverines tight against them and keep Schembechler on the sidelines with being over officious. As he got closer to retirement, Delaney got bolder by hand picking the referrees, all OSU fanboys fraternizing with their players doing warm ups like school boys. i have no doubt he gave them instructions to tilt the game with calls for the sucknuts, and if the call is close with the game on the line, you must make sure OSU comes out on top. Everyone in College Football knew that was a "Fix" call because their QBs knee hit the ground almost another yard short, and his lunge to the first down marker was met with 3 wolverines, who stopped him BEHIND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. Those are the things older Michigan fans remember vividly, and why so many were fearful of this game. The reason is Michigan always has to play 2 teams on the field in every important game they've played:..the opponent and the referees, in order to win any important game..and why we were so shocked we didnt get screwed in some new way, we never get the calls..something always happens to snatch the game from the jaws of victory..except this team has been here twice before and underperformed in their semifinal games of 2 consecutive CFP game loses.Not this year though..once I saw the whole football world state Michigan would get boat raced, i knew Michigan would win. what a satisfying game.
No way this team loses the chanpionship next week. It doesn't matter who they play, because Michigan is so locked in on completing their mission, they're not playing the other team, they are playing themselves..Ive been on 1 team in that position, it's a great place to be, where you are only battling your own team's, execution and efficiency on both sides of the ball..and the team you are playing become faceless abstracts..so much so that you can’t hear them when they try to jaw, and when the play is live you don’t hear anything but your own blood pumping in your ears. It’s a surreal experience, to be good enough, having gone through disappointment together, to not move as the media’s slings and arrows just bounce off you like you are Gulliver and those attacking you are Lilliputians. When the team ..everyone..is on the same brainwaves, it’s a hell of a thing.
Personally, I hope Michigan plays Texas. 1). Because I have family down there who are U of T fans who have had things to say about Texas being back and how B1G schools can’t compete with southern team‘s due to our loss of population and other insults about the North. I responded to that with the fact that it hasn’t snowed in Philadelphia in 734 days, and looks like another Winter with no snow. That was not the case when I moved here it was almost 60 degrees today..in January..in Pennsylvania. I said you can tell ex-president George Bush II, who once famously said, “The jury is still out”, when talking about climate change, that the jury has returned to the court room and has rendered a decision. Climate Change is real, the geological record shows it’s not a gradual process once the tipping point has passed (For us, it was in 2014.) Soon, all of you braggarts who left Michigan and the North, then talked shit about it, you guys are not allowed back above the Mason-Dixon Line. Enjoy Texas when it turns into Egypt from the loss of arable land from 120 degree days and no way to prevent the southwest to look like the Sahara Desert in a scant few years. Climate Change accelerates by the “Snowball Effect”, and you Michiganders who dumped on your home state after you left? Sorry, you won’t be allowed to return. - that’s how I talk shit. I can’t just say “Dallas Sucks”. I need to bring the doom with me.
It doesn’t matter who Michigan plays in the championship. This team is playing against itself. This close to their goal, 60 minutes of football, there is not a force on earth that can stop them.
What a game! Go Blue! - Argus
