For many years I have been archiving U of M Football Games on both audio and videotape, and have found that neither the University of Michigan or radio stations that carry the games kept much, if anything, of these broadcasts… but I have! It was also my pleasure to have produced the two albums (now on CD) featuring the greatest moments of Wolverine Football with the late Bob Ufer. Many past games are available to Michigan fans who wish to re-live the memories. Games are available on CD’s (audio) or DVD (video).
This special service is not for profit or personal gain. Videos are being provided for private use and not for public display, re-sale or re-broadcast.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THESE FOOTBALL VIDEOS Most games feature audio with the late Bob Ufer, until the ‘81 Iowa game which was his last broadcast. Starting mid-season 1981, nearly ALL games have radio audio with Frank Beckmann calling the games and color analyst Jim Brandstatter! Some games feature other partners with Beckmann like former player Bob Thornbladh and Coach Jerry Hanlon. You must remember that in the 70’s and 80’s NOT EVERY GAME was televised. Today fans are somewhat spoiled by the amount of TV coverage U of M receives but in the days prior to ESPN, ESPN-2, ESPN-Plus, Classic ESPN and the Big Ten Network, radio was the only medium for Michigan Football; this is why several games are via Art’s single-angle camera in the late 70’s and 80’s.
Starting in the 2006 season, games were no longer on WJR. UM shifted to WWJ-AM 950 and radio audio, from this point on, featured Beckmann and Brandstatter with new field reporter Doug “Crash” Karsch from WXYT-FM (“97.1 The Ticket”), and the Michigan Sports Network produced by IMG. After the 2013 season, Frank Beckmann “retired” from the UM broadcasts. Reports circulated that it was a “forced release” from comments made on Beckmann’s WJR talk show that led to his demise. So, beginning in 2014, Jim Brandstatter was moved over to the play-by-play chair with new color analyst Dan Dierdorf. Dan and Jim played together in 1969 and 1970 for Bo Schembechler and have an amazing on-air chemistry. Also added to the broadcasts was former UM player and NFL alum, Jon Jansen! Games are produced by Learfield IMG College Sports.
