Way Back When-sday Beat Colorado in Boulder When Deion Was Just a Cowboy

September 14, 1996: There was a time that things were so historically great that something as random and stupid as Kordell to Westbrook was the worst moment in Michigan sports history (and probably the worst moment of my young life). The following year, the Wolverines headed to Boulder for what was known as the “redemption…vindication” game. The group poses here before Michigan defeated the Colorado Buffalos 20-13, properly knocking down a Koy Detmer Hail Mary at the end. The next day, Deion Sanders would recover a fumble and return it 22 yards for a touchdown for the Dallas Cowboys, but fall short of victory against the Colts, who were led down the field for a game-winning field goal by quarterback Jim Harbaugh. UM-Colorado game recap and the rest of the pictures from the weekend are here.
