Until Another 100 Years of Michigan Football is Played | This Week in Michigan Football History

Nineteen seventy-nine was a special year in Michigan football history, as that season marked the 100th season that your beloved Wolverines played this great game. To do it up right, the athletic department (#1000SSS) enlisted Bo’s better half, Millie Schembechler, to collect artifacts from over the first century to display for fans at Crisler Arena during the season.

The Homecoming game of 1979 added to the collection of great Meechigan artifacts – in the win column, in video and thanks to the great Bob Ufer – forever in sound.

Indiana, coached Lee Corso, came to town and was on the brink of walking out of the Big House with a 21-21 tie – a huge result for the Hoosiers of course.
