Way Back When-sday was the Best Tailgate Ever!
/October 15, 2005: Michigan went 54 yards in 37 seconds, culminating with a now famous “TOUCHDOWN MANNINGHAM” as time expired, and Michigan beat Penn State 27-25, their 7th in a row over the Nittany Lions and part of a 10 year run (1997-2007) with 9 straight wins. Led by Captain Michigan, we declared it “The Best Tailgate Ever” and thus began a several year run of blasting the Joe Esposito classic Karate Kid hit as often as possible. More from that day here on the game page.
