I love that coach Hoke is the guy on the sidelines talking to him about it afterward. Classic.

The ironic thing about Woodson's superman interception was that we couldn't get any points off it. Lloyd went conservative calling 3 straight running plays up the middle that only got 6 yards so we had to settle for a field goal. But Kraig Baker missed it. Even Lloyd's wife Laurie was giving him a hard time about those 3 running plays after the game.

My brother, a State fan, was sitting right there in one of the lower rows. Said they all thought he was out until they saw the replay. He tells me it is the single greatest individual play he has ever seen live.

Also, on yesterday's date in 1975, 93,000+ poured into the Big House to watch Michigan beat the hell out of IU, 55-7.
That is the last time less than 100,000 watched the Maize and Blue play in AA.
