The Da Vinci Code" had come out earlier that year. Not the movie. The book.

Saddam Hussein was still at large.

Outkast had a big hit with “Hey Ya”.

Theatergoers anxiously awaited the release of "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", one month later.

“Elf” was the top film that weekend.

The European Union had 15 members instead of 27.

The world had known the name "Steve Bartman" for about five weeks.

The last "missing" episode of the recently-cancelled Fox cartoon "Family Guy" had been aired two weeks prior.

Barack Obama was in the Illinois state legislature, and Sarah Palin was the chairperson of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.

None of us had seen Britney Spears naked yet, and it was still an appealing concept.

LeBron James had been playing pro basketball for three weeks.

After a trip to Europe, a friend spent $200 developing my pictures into prints from the rolls of light-sensitive film on which they had been captured.

The CIA would still contend that Iraq had WMDs for several more months.

The two defending NFL conference champions were the Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

A child who is in kindergarten today was born.

This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ipod_backlight_transparent.png) is what an iPod looked like.

Avenue Q and Wicked had just opened on Broadway.

Arrested Development's first season had premiered several weeks earlier.

New episodes of “Friends” were being aired.

GMail and Flickr were still months away from Beta release.

Howard Dean's "scream" was about two months away.

The minimum wage was $5.15 an hour.

You could still buy a new Oldsmobile.

Gerald Ford and Ronald Reagan were still alive.

Tyrone Willingham had another year at Notre Dame.

Urban Meyer was in his first year coaching... at Utah.

The NFL's New England Patriots had a trio of rising-star assistant coaches who were expected to go on to great success in head coaching jobs: Charlie Weis, Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini.

Terrelle Pryor was in middle school.

Rich Rodriguez would be the Big East Coach of the Year.

John L. Smith would be the Big Ten Coach of the Year. Related: 8 Big Ten teams have changed head coaches since then.

Notre Dame was on a 40-year winning streak against Navy.

Michigan had the longest active streak of bowl game appearances.

No Michigan team had ever lost more than seven games in a season.

No Michigan team had failed to win back-to-back games at least once in a season since 1962.

Every fifth year senior had left Michigan with at least one win against OSU.

And finally...

The last time Michigan beat Ohio State was November 22, 2003. Nine weeks later, Facebook was founded.

Britney Spears being naked is still appealing bro!

Other than that, that is hilarious. All those things seem so long ago, because they kind of are.

These are the biggest travisties of the RR era. :)

Not too mention their first loss to a MAC school. And they also gave up a record amount of points in the 2008 season.

Did we mention that UM hadn't lost back to back to MSU in nearly 40 years?

Or that no top 25 ranked team ever lost to a D1AA school? LOL

If I were a michigan fan I would be very embarrassed and depressed. Thankfully this just makes me laugh.

The difference between OSU getting dominated in the 90's by UM and now (when OSU dominates UM) is that even though OSU was being dominated by UM in the 90's, they still had respectful seasons, beating most if not all opponents.

Now, not only is UM getting dialed by OSU year after year, they look like shit against everyone else as well. When was the last time OSU finished last in the conference? When was the last time OSU had back to back losing seasons?

I don't think that's right. I think that they were the highest ranked team to ever lose to a D-1AA school, but I don't think they were the first ranked team to do it.

Actually, it is right. It may have not been the first time a D1 team was beaten by a D1AA team, but it was the first time a RANKED D1AA team was beaten by a D1AA team.
In what was hailed as one of the biggest upsets in the history of American sports,[1][2] the Mountaineers shocked the fifth-ranked Wolverines 34–32. It was the first win ever by a team in Division I FCS (still frequently known by its former name of Division I-AA) over a ranked team in Division I FBS (formerly Division I-A) since the NCAA split its Division I into two football subdivisions in 1978.

I think that's referring to the multiple times she's shown her crotch.

I see what you are saying. However, if you don't count the RRod era, here are the winning percentages for each team in the decade they got dominated.

1990's - OSU - .736

2000's - Mich - .723

Now, if you throw in the RRod stats, Michigan's % in the 2000's is only .664. :@

With that said, the Buckeyes did have some very good teams in the 90's, and Michigan played the spoiler for many of them. :D

Ahhhh, the good ole days.
