Cowboy Classic Jersey and New White Jersey
I was at Dicks Sporting Goods tonight and saw both new jerseys and have 2 questions:
1) Are you buying the Cowboy Classic jersey before the game or after the game when we win?
2) Have you seen the difference between this year's $65 jersey and last year's?
To me, the quality is much better this year. I'm planning on being at Dicks Sunday morning when the doors open to buy the Cowboy Classic jersey - mostly because my wife is such a diehard fan, she won't let me wear a jersey they haven't won in and hated the "legacy" jerseys from last year.
What are your thoughts?

Anything to get Brandon to stop making these

Hate to break it to you, but he said in the Cowboys Classic uniform release that Michigan might consider wearing another jersey if they make a bowl and adidas offers one.
I can assure you they will, because it will make money.
And I will buy one, because my eyes light up when new gear comes out.
August 29th, 2012 at 9:15 PM ^
Goddamn it, stop spending your money on these. Go to the bar and drink, buy a block M hat, buy some stock, use it on your mortgage, take your wife out to dinner, or literally anything else in the world. $65 for a shirt?! This is out of control and I can almost see the dollar signs in Dave Brandon's eyes. Outrageous.
Please.

$65 is the standard rate for an Adidas replica jersey. It's no cheaper at any other school they sponsor.

August 29th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Buy land. They're not making much of that stuff anymore.
August 29th, 2012 at 10:33 PM ^
Hey Herm, until you come to terms with the fact that you cannot control other people and their actions, you'll never find any serenity in this world. Take care of #1 and don't waste your time concerned with other people's affairs.
August 29th, 2012 at 11:32 PM ^
Down in front!
August 30th, 2012 at 1:15 PM ^
I'm with Herm on this one.
I bought the UTL jersey knowing that that was my memorabilia/paraphanalia allotment for the next few years.
But yeah...an M block hat and some stock.
Maybe some bonds.
August 29th, 2012 at 9:21 PM ^
Herm, its not a waste if you can afford it. Besides, I have to replace my #6 away jersey. Also, shouldn't you be powering down for the night - its getting late.
August 29th, 2012 at 9:26 PM ^
Perhaps people of my generation would prefer to spend their extra money in different ways, so I'll accept that as a reasonable, though (to me) not entirely comprehendible answer. Also, you may not realize this at your age, but you sleep much less, but more often, as you get older. I'll drink a Tom Collins at about 10, be in bed at 11, and probably be up again by 4. I usually just play solitaire and watch the news.
To those of you above, your actions are contributing to my stress. I'd prefer to not see this program turn into Oregon in the coming years.

Who the (bleep) is Tom Collins and why does he have a drink named after him?
August 29th, 2012 at 10:34 PM ^

August 29th, 2012 at 9:49 PM ^
Do you know how much drinks are nowadays, Herm?
August 29th, 2012 at 9:54 PM ^
That's why I drink them at home and never order them at restaurants. If you just have a drink at happy hour before you go to dinner, you'll save more money than you can imagine.
A Tom Collins is gin, ice, lemon juice, a cube of sugar, and club soda. It is a really wonderful drink for the summer.

will you be my grand pa Herm?
August 30th, 2012 at 1:22 PM ^
Herm, I think you are my new mentor.
August 30th, 2012 at 12:36 AM ^
that a Michigan Man would use "incomprehendible" as it is not a real word, at least in the english language. Sorry to be the grammer police, Herm, but you are starting to piss people off with your jersey rants.

I'm only a deputy on SPELLING patrol.
August 29th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
The appropriate answer to both questions is to not buy jerseys, especially super-special alternate jerseys. There is an age limit for jersey wearing. I think it's around 22.
August 29th, 2012 at 9:36 PM ^
I wear my jerseys on game day only. I'm cool with that.
August 29th, 2012 at 9:56 PM ^
August 29th, 2012 at 10:08 PM ^
That's fair. Get a #11 jersey with Wistert on the back. Punch anyone who asks if Wistert is your last name or a Freshman they haven't heard of before.
August 30th, 2012 at 9:15 AM ^
Or get a #98 with Harmon on the back. Punch anyone who thinks you are in NCIS.
August 29th, 2012 at 9:59 PM ^
in a public place (inside the stadium on game day in acceptable). I think a man should be able to purchase and wear whatever he wishes on the privacy of his own home.

"my wife is such a diehard fan, she won't let me wear a jersey they haven't won in and hated the "legacy" jerseys from last year. What are your thoughts?"
Your wife is a keeper.

unlike the other dude's girlfriend who liked OSU because her family (and he) like Michigan.
August 29th, 2012 at 10:55 PM ^
yea I hate her already

Jersey wearing guide, by sport, ranked by age at which wearing one is no longer acceptable:
Basketball: 10
Football: 25
Baseball: 30
Hockey: 50
Divide by at least 2 for acceptability limit in non-game-attendance situations, except in case of hockey in Canada, basketball in certain hipster outdoor concert festival contexts (Lolla, Pitchfork, etc.), and a blanket exception (genre specific) for certain musical performance categories.

1.) Not a hipster. 2.) I find it creepy that grown men are attempting to emulate 18-23 year olds. 3.) It's not fashion. There's a ton of other things to wear.
August 30th, 2012 at 12:02 AM ^
August 30th, 2012 at 8:46 AM ^
Yes - that is exactly right, actually.
August 30th, 2012 at 8:16 AM ^
But it is not creapy to stalk said 18-23 year olds over twitter facebook and any other means you can find?
August 29th, 2012 at 10:52 PM ^
Huh? Hipsters are the ones wearing jerseys.
August 30th, 2012 at 12:04 AM ^
I'm just guessing here, but I doubt he went home with that girl to his left.
August 30th, 2012 at 8:32 AM ^
like a hampster.

August 30th, 2012 at 2:17 AM ^
Did you just condemn the NFL, NBA, NHL, and pro sports (involving grown men) everywhere?
August 29th, 2012 at 10:06 PM ^
I don't see the problem if you are wearing them to games and while watching games ONLY. That's the only time I wear my jerseys. Have em for every sport you listed.
I put my Michigan Hockey jersey in a box and put it under my bed when the season ends and take it out when the next one starts.
Now wearing them out to the supermarket in the middle of July, that's another story....

I love how you casually mention your jersey ritual like it's just something you do after you bring in the patio furniture and put a cover on the gas grill. From the quote alone I can't tell if you're 8 years old or 38 years old but I think I like you Devotee, I think I like you!
August 29th, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^
I wear my OSU jersey to church every Sunday. 1942 throwback of course.
August 29th, 2012 at 10:23 PM ^
Wouldn't you have melted since you walked on holy grounds with the rags of satan on?
August 29th, 2012 at 10:38 PM ^
I spent several years building up immunity.
