1996: Michigan-20 Colorado-13

[LogoAttitude]

These teams can now meet in the Rose Bowl

[63Dsl]

wow that was crazy especially the play from 4:25-4:30 and the last play couldve been a td lol...guess that makes up for kordell stewarts hail mary a couple years earlier.

[tinmaddog16]

@63Dsl Nope, not really.  It just avoided a 2nd embarrassment.

[SuperBrown789]

Detmer was so overated..

[DoctorP1]

lol he fumbled that ball before he crossed the goal line

[WolverineHistorian]

@DoctorP1 lol no he didn't. He was in the endzone when he lost the ball..just like Bob Griese said. Not that it matters. As soon as the ball touches the plane, it's ruled a TD.

[NextStep21]

Go Buffs!

[ErikS1975FreeState]

I'm sure this 1996 Michigan win over Colorado helped but I doubt it made up for the 1994 Hail Marry loss to Colorado

[mysteryscience3000]

Detmer almost pulled off Hail Mary part 2....go buffs!!!

[LOKISlog7]

REDEMPTION!!!!!

I was at thr heartbreaker at the BIG HOUSE; and still never got over it. Worst was that we had endzone seats; and that pass by stewart came right at us....... I remember that the whole endzone kept yelling at the corners and safeties just to KNOCK IT DOWN.......

[chrisuncleahmad]

This was a schizo Michigan team- beat Colorado and Ohio State, but lost to Purdue and Michigan State.

And for whatever reasons, their annual Notre Dame game was not played that year.

[WolverineHistorian]

Actually, they pounded MSU that year. But yeah, that was a strange team.

[YouCanCallMeAl1022]

Once again, I as a Florida Gator fan was very happy the Blue won this game--it launched us to No.1 after the Buffs lost!

[getyoasshome]

@YouCanCallMeAl1022 true it launched florida to #1 but florida lost to FSU at the end of the season....the only reason why florida even won the title is because arizona state lost to ohio state in the rose bowl....talk about needing help....

[AnitaDoobie]

Haha, I love Jackson's reaction at 4:30

[commodorefan2]

I don't remember it, but at least we won.

[adgw1423]

think i like the '94 game a little better

go buffs!

[bluejayforever2006]

I hope UofM goes back to scheduling BIG TIME non confrence games! once Rich Rod gets us back to the top!

[nesnaj21]

Michigan was great this year! =P

[oldredbarnman]

I was at all 3 of the M/CU games-'94,'96&'97. The '94 Hail Mary play happened right in front of me. M SHOULD have won that game, but Moeller played not to lose by just trying to run out the clock. After this game, I was right up against the fence slapping high fives with the M players as they came running off the field. About had my hand broke, they were so pumped up. Got on tv though.

[WolverineHistorian]

That's cool that you were at all 3 games. The teams actually played in 1974 as well with us winning 31-0.

[buffstallica]

I remember being at this game. It was my 2nd ever CU game.

[markusr2001]

Sadly we won't be seeing Michigan playing many road games like this anymore. UM's non-conf. schedule for the foreseeable future will be MAC team 1, Notre Dame, MAC team 2 and some other weak opponent always in Ann Arbor. Gone are the days of Michigan playing road games vs. Big 12, SEC or ACC teams. Not going to happen. It's down to money and filling that 110K stadium.

[DoctorP1]

Oh I think a road game at WVU may be in the works. Stay tuned.

[Tigersfan829]

the athletic directors have to stop being pussies about scheduling the first few games. schedule a game against an sec team or big 12 team in the beginning. they were't pussies about scheduling conneticuit for basketball on the road and look what happened. they almost beat the #1 team...

[Poole1Dan]

Revenge is oh so sweet. We really took it to Colorado in 1996 and 1997 after the hailmary heartbreak in 1994. Go Blue!

[umenamo123]

so bitter!

[Poole1Dan]

oh give me a break. You would be out for blood to if your team lost a game thanks to a hailmary

[SFFOOL76]

That 1996 Colorado team was good. Plus they had really cool Uniforms that year also. However Michigan just kicked their ass.

[wolverine58]

no hail mary this time CU,,,,go cry

[buckah1234]

at 2:10 now thats a run!!!

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

Neuheisel was a very undisciplined coach, we had something like 17 penalties in that game.

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

I hope CU and MU get to play again soon, maybe in a bowl.

[silverandblack68]

Tai doing tip drills against the secondary all day.

[chris122176]

I don't think I could have handled another one like that too, Keith!

The Hail Mary Game was my first time ever to Michigan Stadium for a game. That was a great game with a shite finish of course. I will never forget when Michigan came back to take the league the Michigan fans taunting the Buffs travelling fans with the overrated chant. Both teams were in the top 5 coming into that weekend. And of course we know the game finished.

Anyway, nice video package you put up!

GO BLUE!

[itzSommyJr]

If you think that's bad, I've been watching Michigan my whole life, actually went to Michigan for undergrad, but never went to a game (I had prior engagements every Saturday, so I couldn't). I finally got to go after I graduated, and the first game I got to go to was the App State game. Yuck.

[xKEM0x]

Wow, Tai Streets put on a show in this game with all those acrobatic catches. Go Blue!!!!!

[seabass31240]

colorado shouldent have beatn us in that hail mary game

[WolverineHistorian]

I couldn't believe it came down to a hail mary again in this game. The whole time the ball was in the air, I thought to myself, "If the buffs complete another miracle hail mary, than GOD really does hate us."

[bob8144]

I'm with you. My heart was in my throat the whole game and especially on that last play. That Hail Mary game that Colorado won in the Big House will haunt me for the rest of my life.

[WolverineHistorian]

It will haunt all of us. It also doesn't help that ESPN Classic likes to replay that game 900 times a year.

[harveybullocks1281]

that was the second time i ever saw a Michigan game in it's entirity, was that game, i was eight years old. The only other time before that was when we beat BC i think.
