The excellent site M Victors on Thursday celebrated what would have been the 90th birthday of Tom Harmon, the legendary Heisman Trophy winner from Michigan, with a video presentation of a game 69 years ago.
Michigan had traveled to Berkeley that day to play the California Golden Bears. Harmon was tearing them up, returning the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown. He later scored on a 72-yard run, and a fan named Harold Brennan, who had been tossing back a few cocktails, had seen enough of Harmon making fools of the Bears.
When Harmon broke free on another long run and headed toward the end zone, Brennan took matters into his own hands, running onto the field to stop Harmon. Check the video to see what happened.
From the video:
"Michigan visits the California Berkley Stadium".
Should be Berkeley
M Victors...spell check much? LOL

Yeah, because "Berkeley" would show up in any spellchecker let alone a graphics editor.

Don't worry, the Big Ten refs would have made sure the touchdown counted.
