It’s a bye week and I think this is timely for a few reasons. First, last week Ira and I put down a ‘This Week In Michigan Football History’ from 1973 and it included a more than a subtle mention of the infamous 1973 Rose Bowl vote. Next, WTKA is airing its annual salute to Ufer by broadcasting the ‘79 Michigan State game on Saturday. Finally, and most importantly, my pal Dr. Sap sent me this clip.
Here we have Ufer chatting with legendary WJR morning voice J.P. McCarthy on what I assume is the Monday (11/26/73) after the infamous vote by the Big Ten athletic directors following Michigan and Ohio State’s epic 10-10 tie.
