But I'm gonna have a hard time coming up with a better game than 2021 vs. Michigan.

I thought for sure Kenneth Walker won the Heisman trophy that day. and know damn well he would have if he was wearing a winged helmet.

The Drive of 95 gets a sentimental vote because I was there.  But -48 is one of my favorite games ever as I'm a defense nut.  But them there's 01 in 01, Rocket, Little Giants, and just so so so many more.  

I can't pick 10, let alone try to rank them.

I should remember this game. Huge win. But I can’t. I tend to remember moments more than actual games.

I remember the Oregon QB missing a wide open WR with 1:24 to go.

Big game, obviously - but the significant thing for me was that our daughter was born at 3:12 AM that morning at Sparrow. A pregnancy complication necessitated a C-section 9 weeks early. So there was some stress, some panic. Things went well and they whisk our kid away to the NICU, my poor wife was a mess physically and emotionally.

But it helped for us to watch the game 3 miles down Michigan Ave from her hospital room and see MSU take down #3 UM.

Very cool story Bob. It's funny how sporting events can sometimes make our worries go away for a second and we remember some huge life events by a certain game or games.

For example, whenever my Dad was asked about 1963 he always immediately answered that his Loyola Ramblers won the NCAA basketball title. When I would mention I was born that year he would simply say: "I know".

Similar story in 97 my first was born a d the Packers and the Red Wings won championships . In 2000 my second one was born and Michigan State won a national championship. And no, we aren’t having any more kids.
