[QUOTE="altgeld88, post: 1799357, member: 2886"] To those who declared this FG fest "ugly", I didn't see it so can't really comment. However, one of the three best Illini games I saw while a student '84-'90 was the 3-3 tie v. #4 Michigan in MS in Nov. 1985. (Jim Harbaugh was under center for UM.) If not for a Michigan DB tipping Chris White's FG attempt (kicked toward the south EZ) as time expired (the ball hit the center of the crossbar and bounced back onto the field) we would have had an epic upset victory. Michigan had a long drive in the 4Q and our D forced a fumble when Michigan was inside our 10 yard line. Still remember it all these years later, including the sinking feeling in my stomach, sitting up in the east balcony, after seeing White's tipped FG come so close and then ding off the cross bar. Highlights here via Bo Schembechler's weekly TV show the day after the game. The footage quality isn't great. It was a cold, dark, overcast day and the game wasn't on TV.
