There are some very similar parallels between this season and 1969. Ivan Maisel from ESPN pointed this out.
- 1969 was Bo's first year at Michigan
- 1969 Michigan lost to a highly ranked non-conference opponent in Missouri
- 1969 Michigan lost to MSU
- 1969 Ohio State was ranked #1 and the defending National Champion.
- 1969 Michigan upsets the #1 ranked Buckeyes.
If 2015 turns out the same way 1969 did, I will take it.
I guess you can argue either way if this is a good week for a bye.
