This week we go back to 1949, as coach Bennie Oosterbaan and the Wolverines entered the season as the defending back-to-back national champions. Michigan hoped to continue its remarkable 23 game winning streak that dated back to 1946.
The season kicked off against Spartans of Michigan State College, in this game played 67 years ago today at the Big House.
The more things change the more they stay the same, and wouldn’t you know it, our farming friends from East Lansing had more on their minds than just football.
Before the game Spartan fans invaded Ann Arbor with the hope of executing a variety of pranks, or crimes, depending on your perspective.
