15 years ago against Bama

quote:

On January 1, 2000, Brady played in his final game as quarterback of the Michigan Wolverines in the Orange Bowl. His opponent: the Alabama Crimson Tide. Michigan fell behind 14-0 in the second quarter, but Brady was able to lead his team back and tie the game in the third. Alabama answered right back with two touchdowns of its own, still in the third, before Brady once again brought his team back to see the game tied at 28-28 by the time the fourth quarter arrived. However, neither team scored in the fourth, with Michigan blocking a 36-yard field-goal attempt as time expired to send the game to overtime. On the first play of the additional period, Brady hooked up with Shawn Thompson for a 25-yard touchdown. The Wolverines went on to win the game when Crimson Tide kicker Ryan Pflugner's extra-point attempt in the first overtime missed wide right. Brady passed for 369 yards and four touchdowns in the 35-34 win. A few months later, he would be drafted by the Patriots with the 199th overall pick in the 2000 NFL draft.

I knew something was up when I saw your thread title... Had to click and find out.

Glad I did

Also, Bama missed an extra point to lose the game? Have they just always fricking sucked at special teams?

Apparently

I watched the video in the link and he just shanked it too. Nothing wrong with the hold or snap, just terrible kick

Brady's got magic in his shoulder pads

Not always. We were pretty freaking good there for a while. Leigh Tiffin (2006-2009) broke almost all of his dad's records and was an AP 1st Team All-American in his senior year.

But he couldn't kick the ball high enough during a chip shot to beat LSU in regulation in 2008.

But he did kick a non-chip shot to seal the deal against LSU in 2009.

He did. Just a few plays after an obvious interception wasn't awarded to LSU.

Always something to be proud of.

Especially when that was basically the game that got Brady drafted. Patriots QB coach fell in love with Brady then and lobbied his arse off for the pats to take him


And the rest is history....

Take it up with the official in the booth. And that was almost six years ago, man. In the immortal words of Adele Dazeem, just "let it go."
