@1:03, look how slender Tony Mandarich (spelled Mardaric still) is in 1985, compared to the incredible hulk of 1987-88.

There's a few plays I can think of that could easily be on this list (and I understand that this video came out before some of them): (1) Plaxico making that crazy catch against Michigan in 1999, (2) Paul Edinger kicking the game winner against Florida in the 2000 Citrus Bowl, (3) the Little Giants play to beat Notre Dame in overtime in 2010 and (4) the Mousetrap play that helped beat Northwestern in 2010.

@Erik Hey buddy the last time you guys won a national championship was a co national championship and it was not even in this decade. I can see that you bring up the past because that is all you sorry Michigan fans have to live for. Guess what you are what your record is and we beat you three streat. As Shaq once said, "Hey Michigan fans tell me how my ass tastes!"

[EpiKxCautioN]

@SherwinRazmy hey ummmm...weve been kicking your ass for a while know...besides the last three years buddy....so just dont talk.....hey why dont u go tell your spartans to go get a Nation championship or at least a heisman! Your a joke

@Mgoblue24 hahaha 2 in a row correction make that 3 in a row. How do you like us now big sister? Sure we lost to Iowa but at least we are still 8-1. I enjoyed MSU thumping Michigan again in Ann Arbor. Have a nice day wall mart worverine.You probably got your AA in basket weaving and you claim Michigan.

Obviously not! But you just proved my point about how little you DO know. Thanks for wasting my time. Goodbye and good luck. I am no longer reading your posts so dont waste YOUR time.

Most of those plays are consistent with being "highlight plays" for a team that just hasn't been very good over the years. Let's face, the last Rose Bowl they even went to was the McAllister pass game...and that was in 1987. Half of the games those highlights are from they lost (Illinois in 85, U of M in 2003, etc.) so I don't know how significant they can actually be.

Although I got my degrees from WMU and EMU both my parents are MSU grads and nobody knows more about them then me.
