Chapter - 1973

mbanner73.jpg
ABC likes to film both teams as they storm the field before the game. Traditionally, the Ohio State team would run out the tunnel, break left, then mass in front of their sideline piling on each other. On this day, John Hicks led the Buckeyes out of the tunnel and went straight for the Michigan “Go Blue” banner. As Wolverine students held the banner that the Michigan team would run under, the Ohio State players tried to tear it down. The Buckeye players piled on the banner and jumped up and down, trying to rip it apart. After a few seconds, they retreated towards their own bench. Obviously, the partisan Michigan crowd went crazy, booing the Buckeyes. From his perch in the pressbox, Michigan broadcasting legend Bob Ufer went berserk. “They’re tearing down Michigan’s coveted M Club banner! They will meet a dastardly fate here for that. They have the audacity, the unmitigated gall to tear down the coveted M banner!” The Michigan players didn’t wait for the banner to get back up. They stormed the field and jumped and cheered on the sidelines before the banner was righted. After a few seconds the banner was fixed and the Wolverine players ran underneath it. ABC broadcaster Chris Schenkel said, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen two teams more fired up. They can’t wait to get after each other.”

OH YES !!!!!!! I was at this game. Both teams and the fans were ready! I also remember during the first quarter, a m fan started attacking Brutus. So some Buckeye fans stormed out of their seats ( no, there were no seats, just a board ) to help Brutus, and the m fan took off up thru the stadium to escape his beating. Except, his escape rout was right into the center of the Buckeye fans. He was covered with scarlet and gray and fists were flying, and the security guys had to rescue him.
The winner of the game was to be the Big 10 Champ and go to the Rose Bowl. When the game ended 10-10 tie everybody just quietly walked out . It was very strange. And later the Big 10 voted for theOSU to represent going to the Rose Bowl. And we DID...

I came across this thread while doing a search for Bob Ufer's call of the thread's subject. I know the call exists on the internet because I've found it before but I never saved it and now I can't find it at all.

Would anybody happen to have that call saved on their pc by chance?

Here is a clip of it by the way for those who have never seen it.
