If you could take back both of this year’s USF/Michigan Games or the 2005 Michigan State OT loss/USC ‘Bush Push’ game, which would you choose? Currently, you could either be 2 games away from being undefeated, potentially setting up a colossal matchup with Stanford to reach a major BCS bowl (not sure which bowl) or beat Michigan State and USC to potentially set up a run for the National Championship.
First, let me state, I will never, ever, ever, forget this season's Michigan 4th quarter.
95% of the time, I live for the present, but I remember where I was, what I ate, how many beers I drank, announcer stating “the elusive Bush” (and I still joke about that), the 4th and 9, the garbage fumble out of bounds and the freaking push—--TD.
If I could take back any event—maybe even including the BC FG —I want that USC game back more than anything. Reason being—I was young during the BC game, I remember it, but I look it sports differently now. If Weis beats MSU and wins that game against USC, he could potentially upset “X-opponent” for the national championship and he is still the head coach and this program is still reaping benefits. Not that I love Weis (although this old post http://www.irishenvy.com/forums/notre-dame-football/27837-relax-weis.html suggests otherwise), but the Bush Push game crushed me. I still watch the 2005 USC game final drive on YouTube and have that dumb feeling of “ok, I can turn back time. ND will pull it out.”. Weis’ 1st season was supposed to be our “Return to Glory.” I believed and was let down, and was then continually crushed in the following years.
Finally, Although I will never ever forget where I was for 2011 USF (my apartment amidst the rain delays) or 2011 Michigan (PMing Pham to get down to Fox and the Hound in Center City Philly because I needed ND backup as I sat in the middle of 35-40 Mich Fans), I need to go Bush because I still ponder how that season could have panned out, despite their defeat by OSU in the Fiesta Bowl.
Bush Push- Stings the Nostrils. Smells like Big Foots D!CK!
