New scanned album: Michigan State 1997

October 25, 1997: And you thought Indiana’s QB could stretch. How about doing it up in the air, twisting your arm around like it’s double jointed, and making a one-handed catch against a Nick Saban led Spartan team.

Way cooler than that weak horizontal shit coming up short of the pylon.  I can’t say I wasn’t pleased with the results though. I maintain all reviewable calls should go against Penn State in perpetuity except when playing Ohio.

So we’ve got a fresh pile of scanned goodness from The Godfather, marking my first foray in to the 1997 albums, which hold a near and dear place in my heart for a few reasons:  I was in college, I got introduced to the UMTailgate crew for the first time early in that season, and then we went all National Championship on that ass.

You won’t see me in any of these, as I was traveling with Kevin Cowbell, who I met up with at a gas station, and who started his car at that time with a screwdriver.  I think there’s a couple of pictures from my side of the tailgate floating around somewhere.  I’ll dig around.  Anyway, the full Michigan State 1997 recap and album is here.
