Friday would be Tom Harmon’s 99th birthday, so happy birthday Old 98. Here’s my short video on the Cal game incident with the pickled fan Harold Brennan which all happened 78 years ago today as well, on Harmon’s 21st birthday:
Funny thing happened after I first posted this years ago. I noticed that at around 00:57 seconds in, the choir sings the words “Down the Field” in Varsity just as the #2 photo from Life appears with the caption “Down the Field.” Creepy weird, man. Like watching-The-Wizard-of-Oz-while-playing-Dark-Side-of-the-Moon weird.
The great WolverineHistorian posted a video clip of the whole play that led to the incident – click here.
