Michigan Stadium was officially dedicated 91 years ago this week on October 22, 1927. Our friends from Columbus were the guests–a form of reciprocation for Michigan being the guest for the Ohio Stadium dedication back in 1922.
On this day Bennie Oosterbaan captained the crew that rolled to a 21-0 victory over the Buckeyes. Halfback Louis Gilbert, whose name was cool back then but notably compromises the names of the leads in Revenge of the Nerds, scored all 3 TDs on tosses from the captain.
