Thank you for submitting this amazing home camera of a vintage Michigian football game .... You are a true Michigan fan! I will cherrish this image forever! GO BLUE!
Bump Elliott coached Michigan back then. He was the coach of Michigan right before Bo. He went a paltry 3-7 against OSU and resigned right after the infamous 1968 game against the Buckeyes where they lost 50-14. The game was remembered for Woody Hayes response on why he went for two when he was up by 34. Hayes said, "Because I couldn't go for three!".
This was the Ohio State-Michigan game, which Michigan won that year. But with the beginning of the 60's OSU owned Michigan thru that decade and into the 70's. Under Tressell the Buckeyes have OWNED Michigan once more, currently riding a 4 game win streak against the Wolverines, and have lost only in 2000 and 2003. UM better hope that the Pryor kid (QB) doesn't go to Ohio State like every one thinks he is. If so, it'll be a long time until Michigan wins again.
Sorry, hit the post button early... there's no rivalry (or respect for one another) better than Ohio State-Michigan. Those of us who are fans have known it all along, and the rest of the country is finally figuring it out as well. Have a great season... and no matter what, be sure to beat Notre Dame!
Ah but Tressel has owned Michigan thus far... and this first year under Rich Rod will be interesting since there seem to be problems with the offensive line, especially at right guard. And remember Pryor chose OSU, too.

Amazing footage! The press box looks exactly the same as today.
