Stealing the 1998 Michigan Football Banner

[Dr. Sap]

I’m a Michigan Football Historian writing an article on when the M GO BLUE Banner was stolen prior to the 1998 UM-SU Football Game. It’s been 20 years and I’d like to set the record straight and get all the facts correct. I’m not about ratting anybody out or trying to locate the banner - just want to make sure I represent the facts correctly in my story. Don’t need names - just want to confirm some details. You can reply to this post or contact me via my YouTube Channel: Dr. Sap by clicking on the "About" tab and sending me an email. I’ve written articles about Michigan Football stories that don’t get talked about very much and this is one of them. It’s a great story and I’d love to hear from anyone involved. I’ve read a few threads on other Cuse blogs about what happened but could really use a few quotes from those involved. I will keep everything anonymous if that is what is preferred. Thanks & GO BLUE!!

Loved the fact that those guys essentially lucked their way into one of the greatest pranks off all time.

I know where it was last publicly photographed right by where I grew up. The rest was 007 secret known only by the actual participants.

 

[rocklloyd]

I love this.

My favorite:

That was one of the most dreadful days in modern Michigan history. Usually the misery at least doesn't start until the actual game.

That day may be the best Donovan McNabb ever played in his life.

"We ended up getting it back"

I heard the banner is being used to wrap up the missing lax Natty trophy now a days.

You only need to know two names for your history: Igor and Bjorn.

That is all.

This was actually my picture that I took. But you must credit me, write out "Cuse owns Michigan. Also, go Buckeyes and go Sparty" in the image

Come alone.

Thanks.

Odd but serious question but did one of the participants have an amputated arm? I'll explain after I get the answer.

No, they aren’t the ones that killed your wife Dr. Kimble.

Around these parts, this is folklore, like Woodstock. Somehow everyone you talk to was there.

That's like the Syracuse equivalent of an ISIS beheading video.

Yep. Largest crowd to ever attend a college football game. 150,000. Still an NCAA record.
