During the broadcast, they mentioned that the last time we had beaten Michigan in W-R was Taphorn to Pardon. We beat them the next year, but at Allstate, and had lost every game since at home until last night.
With 12:30 to go in the first half we had scored 5 points. It occurred to me we were on pace to score 13 in the first half. Then we hit a triple and things got better.
I hadn't thought about that, but you're right. In football and hoop.
I saw only the "bad" parts. Followed otherwise on my phone. Any win against Mich is great
Yeah. At 13:20 (6:40 of play in, or 1/6 of a regulation game), Michigan was on pace to beat us 96-30.
The tipped pass game was especially painful. I’ve never had fans in an opposing stadium apologize/console me after a loss.
Don't forget March 12, 1994. Ricky Birdsong's Cats beat Michigan with 4 of the Fab 5 still on that team to secure a winning season and an NIT bid. Capped off the great careers of Kevin Rankin, Pat Baldwin, Todd Leslie and Kip Kirkpatrick. Maybe the biggest major sport win for NU that I had seen up to that point.
Are you implying that the 2013 3OT loss where regulation ended 9-9 wasn't memorable? Because I remember every painful minute of that game real well.
You're referring to the 1998 12-6 loss. I still consider that the rainiest, wettest day of my 58 years on earth.
Me too, though I remember being so soaked in the 1991 game against Illinois that I did not hesitate to run into Lake Michigan with the goal posts.
That was the orange and grape soda game, right? We were in all purple and I think they were in all orange.
This road win was almost as ugly weather-wise, but a win. Ohhhh RichRod.

Wait.... I got lost in this story along the way. You went to an NU-Michigan football game in Ann Arbor and we won? And you left early?
You got that right.
That road win was much worse. 33 degrees and driving rain. 2 degrees colder and it would have been a fun, snowy game.This road win was almost as ugly weather-wise, but a win. Ohhhh RichRod.
Mich. falls to N'western, school-record 8th loss
Michigan has lost eight games for the first time in the storied program's 129-year history after Northwestern beat the Wolverines 21-14 on Saturday.
I was at that game with my wife and daughter both Michigan grads and her husband. They left early to go to the Red Hawk for drinks. I stayed and enjoyed another Cat victory over the Wolverines
And the 2013 with the sketchy last second field goal. Three years of excruciating losses
Rain was running down the steps of Ryan Field like a waterfall for that one. NU moved D'Wayne Bates to quarterback just to cut out the middle men and reduce ballhandling. I think my back is still wet.
I thought about that game, but it was just an ugly, brutal slog. It was a win, but Michigan was terrible.This road win was almost as ugly weather-wise, but a win. Ohhhh RichRod.

You are a better man than me. Only game I ever left because of weather. Would have helped if I had worn any rain gear.
Samesies. Only game I ever left. Rain was drifting so much you'd need to look like the Michelin man to not get wet. Really cold wet.
No. The M00N game in 2014 was Felon Frank Clark breaking up our 2 pt conversion. I think he was suspended or arrested soon after.
Yeah, the M00N game ended when Trevor Siemian tripped over his own feet on the potential game-winning 2-pt conversion at the end of regulation down 10-9.
You are correct. I got my years mixed up and my foggy memory kinda put the two games together.
Only because we lost. I despise Mich, so every loss to them (like ILL) is like losing both ends of a double-header
