Way Back When-sday Filled in for Wheatley

Boston_College_1994_34.jpg

September 3, 1994: Look at these beautiful young folks. John Dogan clearly running the show. Godfather and Pammy tending to family. Captain Michigan with an uncomfortable mustache and a drink in hand. And young love blossoming with those Kelke kids. These were the days. Wheatley had a separated shoulder, but straight ahead Ed Davis and Tim Biakabutuka combined for 178 yards to assist quarterback Todd Collins in defeating upstart Big East foe Boston College 34-26.

This and the rest of the pictures from 26(!) years ago are here on the game page.

Way Back When-sday has an Origin Story

September 12, 1992: Some stumbling drunk college kids bumped into an old man and his friends in South Bend before Michigan played Notre Dame to a 17-17 tie. They agreed to meet up before the next home game. A few years later, the guy in yellow married my sister. The rest, as they say, is history.

Way Back When-sday Got it Done on the Road in Champaign

September 23, 2000 - A throwback to me when I was in my cougar hunting phase prior to Michigan’s 35-31 defeat of the Illini in Champaign. This photo is part of the “Pammy Project,” a rough version of Marie Kondo where I personally archive all the Godfather’s shit so his wife can get it out of the house. Full game page lives here.

Pre-Corona Extreme 5-Second Rule - Photo Backlog 2019: At Indiana

Torrential downpours marred the pile of Chick-fil-a we dined on in the back of my truck in the parking lot of a hair salon, so we spent a lot of time in the car discussing how crappy it was going to be to sit in the rain for 4 hours. Then the rain stopped, and Michigan didn’t put unnecessary fear into my soul against Indiana. Nice. Full game page is here.

Given the current climate you’re probably thinking “well, he’ll never do that again.”  But you’re wrong.
