Perhaps the strangest one of Michigan's historic victories was "Win 34" — a bizarre game where both teams left the field adamant that they had won, and something they still claim more than a century later.
Michigan's milestone day nearly turned into a nightmare, and when the Wolverines finally secured the program's 1,000th victory, players posed with signs commemorating the accomplishment.

Amid all the turmoil and uncertainty surrounding No. 2 Michigan, the Wolverines have a chance to reach a milestone more than 140 years in the making.
