“You lose to Ohio State, you're not playing in the Big Ten championship game, your playoff run is over, and everybody starts to walk back what happened in the previous two seasons, but instead it's Michigan's free straight championships in a row culminated with the national championship, and the Buckeyes are better. And that's one of the things about my mood into this entire offseason, Greg, is that waking up each day seems to be great. You know, the winter was less harsh, the skies are a bit bluer, my meals tasted a whole lot better. And the Buckeyes are more bitter.“ by Steve Clark

“So at the end of the game, again, we had some access. It was a little restricted, but at the end of the game, media is allowed to go down there. And I'm wandering down in the sea of confetti and streamers coming down, and there's all kinds of chaos. Watch out for the confetti cannon, because it might blow your head off. That was like a thing that happened down there. Don't get too close to this. Around my legs is a lanyard gets caught around my feet. I look down, and something's tugging at me. It's this lanyard. And it was actually a pre game celebration they had for teachers. They were recognizing at the game, if you remember, they had a big apple out. They had all this stuff, and this lanyard was down on there. And I go, that's fitting. I'm a teacher, you know, it's a cool lanyard. And so I put my u of m id on it, Steve. And I wear it around, and it makes me feel good.“ by Greg Dooley
