For the epic CFP semi-final in the Fiesta Bowl, we start with a brief look at our first and only previous trip to this prestigious game in 1986. We then take a deeper dive and historic winning runs given Coach Harbaugh and crew have won a stunning 25 of 27 games heading into this one. You know the names: Yost, Yost again, Kipke, Crisler and of course General Bo. Go Blue!

I tweeted a pic of how I chose to represent my B1G Championship digital ticket into my personal ticket stub display. This yielded a few ideas and a lot of questions.
For starters, my collection features one (1) ticket from each season of football played in Michigan Stadium (1927-2021) with a few extras tossed in. It started by obtaining one random ticket from each year, but slowly I’ve been updating the collection with meaningful games (e.g., IU 1979) or moments.

About five years ago I took a crack at defining the major "eras" of Michigan football. One question I had concerned defining the correct end of the Schembechler era, and if it ended, what was it called, etc. With U-M's victory over Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday, I feel we have an answer--Jim Harbaugh has established a new era at Michigan since his arrival. Here's a look:

Ahead of one of the biggest editions of THE GAME we salute Mr. Hassan Haskins, who entered Meechigan Football's Valhalla after his five-touchdown performance against the Bucks in 2021. Haskins turns 23 on Saturday so let's hope it's a maize and blue birthday for #25. We also revisit the history of U-M playing on Thanksgiving Day and other recent victories against Ohio including the Ten-Year War. Go Blue!

Thanksgiving football! Forget about the Lions and Cowboys. Like football in general, it all started in the college game and your Wolverines had a big hand in the tradition. Here's a rundown of those games including a few HUGE match-ups with Yost's archrival Amos Alonzo Stagg.

Perhaps inspired by big Dave Gallagher and the M Men during the 1977 Buckeye game, check out what happened when Brutus tried to get loose in 1983. U-M diver Bruce Kimball wasn't having it:
