The Miracle At Michigan

'That damn game'

A hush descended upon Michigan Stadium on Sept. 24, 1994, when Colorado quarterback Kordell Stewart launched a 64-yard “Hail Mary” to Michael Westbrook, who caught it in the back of the end zone to cap a remarkable comeback and stun the Wolverines.

Reading that article, it was noted that Colorado beat #10 Wisconsin 55-17 the previous week. I believe Mel Tucker was a DB on that Wisconsin team.

I was driving home on Parker road listening to this call at the end of the game. After the catch, everyone was honking their horns in celebration. That was a super cool moment.

I was about to walk out the door, still lived in Andrews, at the time. Rashaan scored, and started doing the hands down motion thing, like, it's not time to celebrate. I stayed, and I'm damn glad I did. Moments like that, you get once in a lifetime. When your kids are born, of course, competition, that's completely different.

I was there.

I knew what was about to be attempted.

They didnt announe the touchdown for easily a minute in the stadium.

They didnt change the score board to reflect the TD for several minutes.

Westbrook, a Michigan native ignored by M, was basically running around taunting fans "how you like me now!" along the bleachers.

It was epic.

My dad, brother, and I were jumping around like maniacs. How do you even process something like that play?

My mom happened to be on a six-week work assignment in Grand Rapids. The office was apparently a *tad* quiet on the following Monday morning.

Almost left... but was on the 50 yard line, right in the booster section who was just trashing us at the time. Fun memory, optimistic about the present happy to say, that maybe another miracle coming our way before long

I still have that old Spots Illustrated in near mint condition in my bedroom at my parent's place.

Got mine in a frame on the wall. Next to my 1991 orange bowl program and ticket.
