I Hope Houghtlin Makes It This Time

PrintIn the BEEFIN' scheme, posting this video is like bringing checkers to a chess match--a Michigander's response practically writes itself. But nonetheless, we are obligated as Hawkeye fans to post this video at least once a year [when did you post it last year?--ed.] [shut up.--OPS] [just checking.--ed.].

What? Michigan loses in a scenario where by which a field goal made field goal could potentially determine the game?
Impossible.
2007 Appalachian State 34 – Michigan 32
2005 Texas 38 – Michigan 37
1995 Penn State 27 – Michigan 17
1980 Notre Dame 29 – Michigan 27
1979 Notre Dame 12 – Michigan 10

My favorite part of that video
has always been the length of it. Sure, Houghtlin nutting it still sends chill down my back, but the fact that whoever posted it decided it needed to be 10 minutes long. That takes balls.
Yes it's 23 years old.
But it’s still goosebump-inducing to this day. I remember being with some friends and family in Carroll huddled around what I think was a 13-inch TV, hardly able to breathe during the timeouts, and finally exhaling as that field goal went through before going totally nuts. What a great moment.
As a sports fan you’ll have but a handful of moments of pure magic. Houghtlin splitting the uprights will always be such a moment.
Oh, unless you live in Boston.
Then you have such a moment once or twice, maybe three times a year. Must suck.
As a Cubs, Bears, and Bulls
fan living in Boston married to a Boston girl, it kind of sucks. Just a reminder of my teams’ inabilities to win it all.
I am trying to live through their championships of late. After 7 years in the Boston area, its hard for one not to get involved with the sports in that town. The fans are nutzoids. I am sure the current sweep of the Red Sox by the Rays has caused a handful of heart attacks. And I’m being serious.

Hayden summarizes then v. now
For some reason we brought offensive schemes to this game that no one had seen. Innovation, deception, surprise: you couldn’t game plan your defense for Iowa by looking at five year-old tape. Then. Our stubborn devotion to the same 12 offensive plays is the riddle of the current staff. This was the year, was it not?, when Fry literally drew a play up in words and air, in another timeout, bootlegging Long on crippled wheels to beat MSU.
That’s a great tape, thanks.
Hayden....
and the Hog-eyes!!!!! Good ‘ol Hayden. I remember watching that game at my grandparents house in Burlington. Love the clip, thanks mang.
Oh yeah, I used to have a full size cardboard stand-up of Hayden. I used to hide it around the house and scare the crap out of my mom. One day in the closet, next in the laundry room. God bless you mom for putting up with me.
It's hard for me ...
It’s hard for me to contemplate anyone creating a fullsize cardboard stand-up of Ken O’Keefe. Unless it were commissioned by the other BXI d-coordinators.

One might make some money selling O’Keefe Bop Bags!!!!!!
