We've got highlights...

Do you think a game with this much history might have some classic highlights from games gone by? As Ufer would say, 'You bet your cotton-pickin' Maize and Blue heart it does!'


Let's punt--er, kick--it off right with the most exciting single play I've ever witnessed in person:

I can recall with great distinction jumping on my seat in Section 26, sreaming beyond my voice, extolling Sir Charles to "DO THE HEISMAN! DO THE HEISMAN! DO THE HEISMAN!" as he trotted down that same sideline into that same endzone and towards that same sought-after hunk of copper that Desmond Howard had done 6 years earlier.

Let's back up a bit. Maybe I should explain why we hate these guys so much:

WARNING: Might want to turn your speakers off for this one, lest your ears be punished with the sounds of "Hang On, Sloopy".

The 1995 edition of THE GAME featured a Heisman-winning Running Back. But it was this guy who ran for 313 yards:

"Eddy WHO?"

Well here's a random one. Not really much of a highlight, but I thought this was funny. Would you believe that this man once had such an amazing day running, passing and kicking the football at Ohio Stadium that he got a standing ovation from the full crowd as he left the field? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... Tom Harmon, Cereal Spokesman

The real catch is that, unlike in this clip, he was wearing Maize and Blue that day.

Yes, Brent, the "Buckeyes came up big in the biggest" in this one, but I would be remiss if I didn't include anything about last year's titanic #1 vs. #2 showdown:

RIP Bo.

On a brighter--or at least bluer--note, how about taking it back 10 years for this gem, compliments of Tai "Takin' it to the" Streets:

Two words to drive any Buckeye nuts: "Springs Slips"

Did I mention why we hate these guys?




The guys in the "Don't Give a Damn" video certainly gave a damn about Steve Breaston, Chris Perry and Braylon Edwards later that day...

The 100th edition of THE GAME

Winding this down, let's take a look at the game that put THE GAME back on the map, the start of the modern era of the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, Bo Schembechler's first meeting against Woody Hayes in 1969:

"They've got Schembechler on their shoulders! Ripley couldn't have written it any better. The final score: Michigan 24, Ohio State 12!"

Finally, let's wrap this up with a nice bookend to match the first clip.

Hellooooooo Heisman!
