OSU alum here and have to say, this is a special team. Congrats on a great win and for representing the B1G 10.
Michigan and Ohio state need each other--and need each other to be great. BTW, classy comment from a fan of the best rivalry in college football!
Totally agree reminds me of magic and Larry Bird they needed each other.
Exactly. We are not fans of each other, but it’s the best rivalry in all of sports!! Go Blue
Thanks Rich, for being the voice of the Michigan fan, thru the ups and downs. Let get one more. Should be an epic natty! Go Blue!
Careful… the peak of hilarity would be for Michigan to lose in the title game
@@GillistheIllistno, that would be a football game
No way @@GillistheIllist Bama D ~ #2 Wash #76
Michigan #1
@@bobbafett1849 hell yeah dowg
@@TyDomi so when Michigan loses, that’s funny right?
That drive in the 4th quarter was one of greatest moments in Michigan football history. We looked down and out and JJ, Corum and Wilson came up with the plays of the season
Brady’s game against Bama was one of the best and I think better than this one.
Jj is a game manager
@@Make_Me_A_Sandwhich Facts and he doesn't deserve the hype..I don't trust him at all. If it wasn't for Blake and the defense they wouldn't stand a chance of winning the natty.
@@Make_Me_A_Sandwhich27-1 as a starter, keep hating.
Sure did. I was so nervous pacing and driving my wife crazy, I took our dogs for a 2nd walk while watching on my phone lol
30 years from now when this game is still talked about, Romi's catch will still be the moment that it all changed. Clutch catch and a pivotal moment
Spot on. After he made that catch I thought to myself that that catch was a season-saving grab.
Corum's OT TD was a thing of beauty.
As soon as Michigan won that game, Rich was one of the first people I thought of. I’m very happy for him.
Same here!
same here.
What? Hahah
I didn’t think of him until I saw it in my feeds just now then I said hell yeah.
I looked forward every week to hear Rich’s commentary on the Michigan game and all the BS!

Thank you Rich!!! I am 56 years old, and have been a WOLVERINE fan since Rick Leach 75-78. I have to agree this was one of the greatest wins as a Michigan fan.
What a year, what a game! One more game!
What a day for college football. Both semi-final games lived up to the hype. Congrats, Rich.
Sad that my Crimson Tide lost, but what a hell of a game! Congrats to Rich and all Michigan fans!
Thank you.
Thank u king
I'm a die hard Ohio state ...but I root for michigan every year throughout the season and the bowls. How can you not like blake corum? I was dang proud of UM last night. I'm super glad a big 10 team kept the SEC out of the championship game. Go blue.
I'm a Michigan fan. I remember watching Zeke run it right through Alabamas D to win the natty, and feeling so proud of the Buckeyes. Hated watching OSU without their QB for the Cotton bowl. Felt bad for every OSU fan and player. That wasn't OSU.
Sorry buddy you’re not a die hard Ohio state after all. A die hard doesn’t support every year the opposition unless Ohio loses.
@@reygone3390 thank you for helping me understand myself better
Thank you. A sane OSU fan.
@@dustnashes Some people think their opinions they vomit in the CZcams comments are actually facts.... You know what? I'm a die hard Michigan fan, and sometimes I root for Michigan state.... And I HATE losing to them.
One of the happiest and most proud days of my life for THIS TEAM to get this win! What a great day!
One of the most proud moments of your life .... hmmm .... Ok.
Michigan will always be known as Cheaters U. 🤣
@@wshweso will Ohio state
No they won’t. Stop being silly

Facts
Congratulations
Michigan!!
That game was SO damn close and it was indeed glorious.
As always Rich, you are our voice and I couldn't be happier for you and us and the whole wolverines nation!!! Go Blue 💛💙〽️
Happy for you and Michigan
Congrats Rich and all M fans! This is why you brought Jim here and now this is his moment. Best of luck next week.
Thank you.
It was glorious! Hail Michigan!
This game could be a metaphor for life. Just when things look down and out, keep a good mind frame and anything is possible.
this is what i love about u of m. we can tough it out and stay mentally sound when we’re down. mental toughness is massive, seen too many teams just give up.
Congratulations 🎊 to Michigan and thank you CFP committee for getting it right all games were amazing
Hail to the Victors!! 〽️🌹
Ahhh.... The Michigan Daily.... I remember those days! 😊
100% agree with the Rose Bowl as the greatest college football stadium. Beautiful.
After the fantastic images from the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl looked like it was being played in an abandon mall with flickering florescent lights.
After so many kicks to the nads that Rich has endured, I'm happy he got to watch the Wolverines win at the rose bowl with his family 😂
Yea that's an awesome story. I read about that.
Congrats Rich and to all Michigan fans!
TCUN...The Champions Up North
Thank you Rich. Ann Arbor loves you brother and you speak for us all.
What an amazing setting, Rose Bowl is a beyond words beautiful setting for big games, The worst part is knowing we only have one more game, so much fun!!!
Brian Griese, Jake Moody and Aidan Hutchinson will all be part of the NFL postseason
Ronnie Bell is also on the 9ers and has made a few plays this year.
Plenty more that you guys havent mentioned lol, look at Dallas... Baltimore... Cleveland.... even DPJ, Glasgow, and Schofield on Detroit. Graham on the Eagles. Packers and Seahawks battling for the last spot with plenty of UM players. There are a lot of wolverines in the NFL playoff this year and i love it!
@@curtisedmonds9933Niners also have Jake Moody and Ambry Thomas.
Finebaum's Tears.
It was a classic!🏈🏈🏈
It’s not about stars … it’s about Heart!🏈🏈🏈
The only thing that bogles my mind more than Michigan's special teams is Bama's centers inability to snap the ball.
Yeah I have no clue what happened. My dad and I were at the game and we were convinced the footballs must’ve been poorly handled pre game or something cuz both sides were struggling. Best unit out there was Bama’s Oscar winning punt team
On the last play it looks like Josiah Stewart pushed his blocker backwards, causing Milroe to bump into him. Underrated play.
I hope they win it all just for Blake Corum. He’s awesome.
Even if Milroe swings the ball into the flat and hits the RB in motion, Junior Colson had him marked the whole way
This game was so tense. I WAs up to 4 am watching the game and that lady drive was something else. My heart was in my throat the entire time. I actually pulled a muscle from celebrating too hard after that OT win. This victory was so cathartic
Same me I didn’t even play and my heart ❤️ just about the jump off my chest. After Michigan scored the touchdown on overtime that when my heart ❤️ slow down. It was scary, tense and happy and celebration . Classic game and have to rewatch many times.
Love hearing your time at the game, i appreciate your voice through this stressful season. Let's go on to take names in the Natty and immortalize these warriors. Go Blue
This was definitely a game when I thought about my cardiologist and, at the same time felt I was down on the field.
Another Michigan Daily alum here!
Let's be honest here. Now we hear from the SEC faithful that Alabama wasn't as good as they thought, and their weaknesses caught up to them. But let me tell you, there isn't ONE SEC fan that respected a B1G team enough to think that even a poor SEC team had a chance to lose to the best B1G team. EAT THAT HUMBLE PIE, SEC!!
Go Blue!!
So true. To be honest, I'm not a big Michigan fan, and I really don't like Jim Harbaugh. But I was all about the Wolverines yesterday. Nothing better than to see the SEC -- and especially Alabama -- go one-and-done in the playoff. Thanks Michigan!
Yea, let your weak conference win a few before running your mouth
@@mitchelll3879 Mad cuz bad
Truest words today! I knew they’d pivot and make it about themselves instead of giving it up and eating crow. All I heard was “SEC speed” and “our athletes” and “the B10 is trash, Michigan would lose 5 games with Bamas schedule”. But here we are, we dominated them physically all day in the manner I’m sure their fan base thought they’d dominate us. It time we say it; Alabama would’ve finished 3rd in the B10 East and they hadn’t seen athletes on defense like these.
can't believe bama fans actually thought michigan was scared of them
Don’t apologize, Rich.. nobody else cares how they win… Michigan has been under a microscope, while playing teams that most likely had an advantage because they were not… Each win has been earned and vetted! GO BLUE!😎..
Thank u Michigan.
love this so much. I have the exact same memories of Bo's incredible fake punt and the ticky-tack penalty nullifying it. Redemption this time!
I couldn’t wait to watch you Rich. We as fans have been through so much from wondering if we would ever beat Ohio st. To wondering if we would ever make it out of the semi’s. Let’s go blue!
im a jayhawk, aka football powerhouse. i am pleased with Michigan. you did us alll a huge favour by winning / beating ballafama. thanks
“What is done in darkness comes to light…” OSU under investigation by NCAA - catapult.
Underrated play was after the block in the back, a designed QB run by McCarthy picks up the yardage lost on the penalty. Great win! Go Blue!!!
Or how about this: Jake Thaws disastrous muffed punt on the 1 yard line. If that’s a safety it’s obviously over. So even though he muffed it I say great job to him for not panicking and just going forward while also NOT FUMBLING. That was almost worse than the Michigan State punt game…
@marcshenk1504 it would've been the worst play in michigan history, had that happened.
@@stevenschmidt3464 easily…so it sounds dumb but play of the game for me was him just avoiding a safety or fumbling lol I’m really not sure why he’s trying to field a punt return within the 5 yard but yeah..lol Jay Harbaugh has some SERIOUS work to do this week with his special teams.
Really happy for you Rich; and was waiting for this segment since your short last night. Congrats to Michigan and all Wolverine fans! My 'horns didn't make it; so I hope you guys spank Washington hard! 😂
If your in your early 30s to mid 40s this win means everything ! Wev endured the worse times of michigan football. Blocked punt in MSU App State 23 year Columbus drought, fake investigations, always counted out and never given the respect our boys earned. We did it baby!!!!〽️💪🏽GoBlue!!!!!!!!
33 here, been watching since i was 9, i agree it feels so much better knowing what we have witnessed over the years, losing 16 of 18 to osu, and going without a bigten title for 18 yrs straight, the downfall of lloyd carr, the brady choke era, the rich rod disaster years, these last few yrs have been amazing especially this years team. 1 more to go, go blue, couldnt be prouder

Go Blue! 〽️💛💙🏆🌹 2024 Rose Bowl Champions!
When Michigan won on that final play, I stood in disbelief. I asked, "Did we really win?!?!?!" And YES WE DID!
I was yelling and screaming and hugging my "cotton'-pickin' Maize and Blue" family (Thanks Bob Ufer).
I wish this video was 10hrs long. I could listen to you talk Michigan all day!!!!!!!
I saw that game man, after being sober for about 3 years at that time and remembering how good 👍 life was sober. Man, it was good to see Michigan beat that red state team, Yes!
God bless you. ☦️❤️
The bad snaps from the Alabama center at the beginning of the third quarter were huge. Alabama was moving the ball well on that drive. The funniest thing was the announcer saying that it WASN"T totally the centers fault. One of those snaps bounced before it reached the QB.
Michigan is so well coached. Alabama has more 5 stars than the entire Big 10 but Michigan despite mistakes is really good at football
Even after the Iron Bowl center snap fiascos, center good now? Nope , lol bama coaching so incredibly overrated
I didn’t think it was going happen either Rich. Congratulations Michigan !
Michigan probably has more NFL players on their team than Bama but of course you think the SEC “has better players.” The SEC is not better than the Big 10. It’s a very similar conference especially next year.
Hey, Rich, congratulations on the Rose Bowl. There are quite a few Massachusetts guys on that team, you could shout out New England athletics a bit. The Krakens' goalie from Massachusetts pitched the only Winter Classic shutout so far. Again, Lots of us are glad you got this. Too bad about the Jets.
As a Gator fan Go Blue job well done
The Rose Bowl is beautiful but it is hell on earth to actually get there
Thanks Rich, and it is quite refreshing to NOT see an SEC school in the College Football National Championship game, for a change.
The D line just swallowed Milroe on that last play. A very fitting way to end the game.
Just a year ago Josiah Stewart was playing for Coastal Carolina....and last night he drove Alabama's Right Tackle into Jalen Milroe and tripped him up....to win the game and go to the National Championship. That young man showed up big in the biggest game!
Bama grad, congrats RE! Nothing like being the villains of CFB and winning 😂 hope next Monday’s game is one for the ages
This hits home! Rich 💪🏽
Great show. Love watching you. Been a wolverine fan since 1980. Go Blue.
Sad day in the south and I love it!!!
So sweet that Michigan beat Alabama!
I hope Michigan wins it all. No disrespect to Washington. Florida State, Michigan and Washington were the most despised teams by the Establishment.
It is Wonderful that two of those teams defied the powers that be and will play for the Championship!
I'm cheering for Michigan for Rich
It really IS a helluva feeling Rich. Congratulations and RTR.
Michigan was fantastic, not a UM alum but I've loved their play calling and successes the last 3 years.
Harbaugh is class
Let’s Go Blue!
"A ton of texts as if I played" LOVE IT😀
Hope next Monday game is a dandy ... may the best team win a close one!
Rich you’re the man and I think you’re a ringer for an NPR gig. Good storytelling brother. 😎👊🏾
Beautifully put Rich!
Beating an undeserving Bama after people made it seem like UofM was afraid to play them is just amazing.
Undeserving Bama? They almost won the game. Seems deserving competition to me.
Undeserving? Bama was a play or 2 from winning. Not saying they were better, but they certainly could have won.
The game should not even have been close. M dominated. Only self-inflicted wounds, that had NOTHING to do with Bama's 'prowess', kept it close. Shows who is a better coached and developed team. 18 5*s vs 2 5*s!!!@@prasad530
But mich did make bama look almost childish at times. The technicality of the score is mostly just that. It was like the story the tortoise and the hare but if the hare still won.
Agreed. Undeserving is accurate.
I think you can give the D-line credit for the bad snaps. They weren't "breaks".
Bring Jim on!!! We need us some Harbaugh/Eisen interaction!
Congrats Rich. As a fellow Jet fan, I'm glad you got to enjoy this moment to start 2024.
Was there with you in 1990 and read that Michigan Daily article you wrote lol😮. Go blue. We got a little lucky too. On to Monday!
The thrill of victory...
Omg this recap of WEIRD STUFF is amazing. My soul is at ease that it is not just me having this feeling.
HAIL!
1990…😮…my Freshman year High School! Good times…😊
With how the Jets went this year this is a plus for Rich lol
Thanks Rich for being a M alum and standing up for us against all the haters. GO BLUE BABY! A fan for 51 years and could not have picked a greater school. Went to Pioneer HS too and lived 5 blocks from the stadium. My blood runs blue.
Rich you the national voice for the wolverines.. Go Blue!!
Great show.
I like Jim. I always thought he was the right man for the Michigan job.
GO BLUE!!!
30 years later and here we are with a repeat of the 1993 Rose Bowl between Washington and Michigan.
Can we also mention *The* Ohio State University not even scoring a touchdown in their bowl? 🥹 Glorious.
Big win for the Team Up North. Now, its most recent national championship was 1997 and before that in the 1940s? In contrast, Ohio State has won it in 2015 and 2002. Before that, it beat OJ and USC in the late 1960s with the Super Soph Team. But have at it with the petty slights on your day in the sun. Ohio State football lives rent-free in the heads of Wolverine fans.
“Petty” is stating a statistic? 🤣🤌🤌 Mizzou beat OSU like a rented mule. (In fairness, the team I do love deeply also lost by the exact same amount… 🙄)
I couldn’t care less about UM- I just couldn’t care even less about OSU. 😎
@RoyHobbs-pj5rw who's still has the most wins in college football and overall wins against your suckeyes. And I believe more big ten Championships. Marinate on that for a sec.
@@RoyHobbs-pj5rw You have no idea how things are about to change. While MI is off playing two of this year's playoff teams next year during the regular season (plus Oregon and USC), Ohio State will still be playing the current Big10 cupcake teams. You and your team are about to be absolutely irrelevent. Something MI fans have known for years, but now there will be concrete proof. You keep your almost undefeated seasons (oops, our bad) and we'll go play with the big boys.
The Penn State and Ohio state games were meaningless with all of the key players missing. Michigan wouldn't have scored last night without JJ, Corum, and Wilson..... A Michigan fan.
Validation for Jim after media news everywhere happy for him go big blue
How cool, Rich! I was behind one of the end zones at that same Rose Bowl (1990, if I remember correctly). Nothing beats the atmosphere of a college football game. I was also near the USC band. The Trojan fight song has echoed in my memory ever since.
Fantastic playoff! Michigan honestly dominated the game and should have won by about 10 in regelation
So happy for Rich Eisen ...
Celebrate today and all focus on Washington at the end of it! Let’s go get it!
Another Michigan grad here. I missed the Rose Bowl but have booked my trip to Houston. Hope to see you there Rich. Let’s go Blue! BET.
The last four team playoff will go down in history as the best four-team playoff ever.
It was glorious
America’s Team!!!!
