Yeah... we've been posting so long, Wangler's kid has come and gone. I think he played special teams a bit.

I started around '05. That was a lousy season to endure after '04. But we bounced back in '06. But the App. State loss kicked off '07. and if all that wasn't bad enough, then we had 3 years of RichRod Aaargh... that was a rough time. Most of everyone's "online experience" included the absolute worst 7 season stretch in Michigan football history ('08-'14) if not THE worst.

I distinctly remember memes of Steve Bartman popping up on the ESPN threads minutes after he interfered with Moises Alou on that fateful foul ball in the 2003 NLCS.

Routine double play ball right after Bartman that ends the inning. Cubs fans still blame Bartman over their professional shortstop for one of the worst plays in MLB playoff history. It's the Buckner play for the Cubs, except Alex Gonzalez wasn't broken down.

Bartman got ran out of his home because Gonzalez blew the game.

And that was G6. People forget that the Cubs also lost G7. They were leading 5-3 in that game, too. And the Cubs were up 3-1 in the series.

that was great. I had just started law school and (it being the first time I lived outside of Michigan) was annoyed by people assuming I was a cubs fan, without asking me first. That play and their meltdown was hilarious. People in my section got really mad at me.

My friend played club baseball with Steve Bartman and said he was a genuinely nice guy, and really dorky about baseball and in that regard it was tragic; Bartman was wearing their club team jacket at the game.

they made it up to him (link). he got a world series ring in '16, and they all said nice things about him.

Right. Chris Grieves (2) and Gregg Willner. (1) Both lived on my floor at Rumsey House.

Grieves was a walk-on WR who never played a down; Willner, a kicker from Florida, who either didn't exhibit much innate intelligence, or fooled us all.
