Description
 
1950 Michigan, 9; Ohio State, 3
At Ohio State, "We're Here, And We're Not Coming Back Next Week" That was Michigan AD Fritz Crisler's reaction to a suggestion that a mere Columbus blizzard should postpone a Michigan-Ohio State game. So what if the temperature was 10, the wind was blowing 40 MPH, and the field was so covered with snow as to be all but unplayable? This wasn't Miami and Hawaii, folks, this was Michigan and Ohio State! And so the legend of the "Blizzard Bowl" was born. And with 50,503 paying customers (out of 82,300 ticketholders) braving the elements, the Wolverines parlayed two blocked punts into a safety and a touchdown, while FIFTEEN Chuck Ortmann coffin corner punts pinned the Buckeyes inside their own 15 yard line all afternoon. It wasn't the most elegant of victories, but as a result of it, the Wolverines wound up in the Rose Bowl (where they beat California) and the Buckeyes wound up with a new coach. Some guy named Woody.
