Way Back When-sday Filled in for Wheatley
/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.
