2000 Cap One Bowl vs Alabama

[GoBlueInAtlanta]

Watching on BTN right now. Just saw Brady Hoke reaming the defense for allowing an 8 yard run. Can you imagine if he had been on the sideline with last year's defense?

Edit: This is not to start a discussion about how he would have changed it for the better, but more a remark about how his mental health would have suffered.

that was a fun game. I really miss the 90's and early 2000's

That's back when the Big 10 used to beast in recruiting.. These days, you have 3 programs that are up there and the rest are not that good..

I am glad that I caught some of this game today. It was only because of the Tigers' rain delay. How fortuitous. I had forgotten a lot about that game. Of course, I remembered the end, but I had forgotten the back and forth battle that this game was. It would have been a classic without the classic ending.

The wife and I had a couple from Alabama over for that game. After such a great battle I actually felt bad for them the way it ended. He told me the next day that a family friend had had a fatal heart attack after the game ended. I don't remember specifically, but I'm sure there were previous health issues.

this game gets even bigger in retrospect, after seeing what great pro careers Tom Brady & Shaun Alexander went on to have. guys of that caliber are just too tough for college defenses to stop, and you see that in the 35-34 final score.

Tom Brady, 35 of 47 for 369 yards and 4 TDs, O INTs

Shaun Alexander, 25 carries, 161 yards and 3 TDs
