META: Until we beat OSU and MSU...
We shouldn’t be ranking any of our players.
We shouldn’t have a starting quarterback.
We shouldn’t be thinking about 2017.
We shouldn’t be talking about shutouts.
We shouldn’t be using game balls. Or Jumpman stickers.
We really shouldn’t move on to phase 4.
We should expect nothing but pain and suffering.
We can’t talk about upgrading workout facilities. We also are not allowed to have dick.
We can’t buy things from China.
We shouldn’t be on the cover of TV Guide.
We’re not allowed to worry about our next game.
Michael Phelps shouldn’t be considered a Michigan Man.
My daughter isn’t allowed to go to college.
I’m not allowed to wear pants or shoes.
I’m also not allowed to point out spelling errors, see a therapist, or read Campus Insiders.
I’m not allowed to eat BBQ. No one is allowed to make their own BBQ sauce.
Harbaugh isn’t allowed to vote in the Coaches Poll.
And we are not allowed to quote Jay-Z.

your assumptions and humble brag/bio are swell. you're gonna do great here. thanks for your contributions...
August 24th, 2016 at 4:25 PM ^
I've vowed not to post about my greatness and superior knowledge until we beat MSU and OSU.

So can we be officially done with this now?
August 24th, 2016 at 11:40 AM ^
August 24th, 2016 at 11:42 AM ^
I hate you so much right now.
August 24th, 2016 at 11:49 AM ^
Going forward, I think the above use is the only appropriate use of the meme --- when someone asks if something already long and tirelessly used can finally die. It's almost like a punctuation mark at this point.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:11 PM ^
your mom can die?
August 24th, 2016 at 11:48 AM ^
You can't hate him for saying that until we beat OSU and MSU...

August 24th, 2016 at 11:39 AM ^
Way overplayed & annoying now ...
August 24th, 2016 at 11:40 AM ^
young? She probably won't go to college until we beat the SU's.
August 24th, 2016 at 11:45 AM ^
My daughter is 17 (going into her senior year), so we better beat them this year. Otherwise she's going to be waiting tables at Applebee's until next season.
Oh, and she's taking your "go big or go home" advice in regards to applying to schools. ND, NU, and Michigan are the list as of today.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:21 PM ^
When you said she's going big or going home, and looking for alternative careers in case we don't, you know, win those games...
College applications were not the 1st thing that sprang to mind!
Sorry for that...

Continues to not be funny
August 24th, 2016 at 11:50 AM ^
Despite my first reaction, I can appreciate what you've done here. It's like you've intentionally brought the meme to critical mass so it will kill itself.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:32 PM ^
The problem is in the meme's internal structure--it is self supporting. The only way this meme dies is when... we beat MSU and OSU.
August 24th, 2016 at 11:44 AM ^
I like you, and almost always agree with your coherent posts. This one jumped the shark, and I can only hope this meme dies a righteous death.
But not until we beat MSU and OSU.

I'm working on a summary now.
August 24th, 2016 at 11:48 AM ^
For this comment. You know it's over when you actually make your own thread on it.
You got your laughs out of it, but give it a good tuck in the sheets and call it a night.
August 24th, 2016 at 11:52 AM ^
Well, I'll like beating OSU and MSU, that is.
August 24th, 2016 at 11:53 AM ^
I am so sick of this stupid joke. It was funny for maybe one day.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:55 PM ^
Sometimes you gotta do it to the max to kill it.
August 24th, 2016 at 11:53 AM ^
August 24th, 2016 at 12:11 PM ^
changes from clever to cleverly idioitc in an ironic way.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:16 PM ^
Yes, I believe you have pinpointed what Hatter is goin for here.
I refer the class to Austin Powers (maybe 1st, possibly Goldmember) where he has to pretend he's one of those peeing statues in a fountain, and the gag just goes on and on...and on. It goes from hilarious, to ridiculous, to strained,,, and finally back to hilarious by sheer stupidity.
I think that's what Hatter is trying to execute here. Will Ferrell would be another who employs this frequently.
Bad news Hatter - you ain't Mike Myers or Will Ferrell!!! ;-)
August 24th, 2016 at 12:30 PM ^
They're rich and I'm actually funny.
August 24th, 2016 at 12:36 PM ^
I'm not big into comparing paychecks as a way to demonstrate worth or success - but in this instance it probably is a pretty valid way.
Sorry again

I use number of good deeds done and collection of M gear to measure my own worth - but you can keep pulling your Willy out and see if anyone wants to do a measure off.
I hope you're at least pretty sure that's gonna work out for you?
But to the matter at hand, where our deal old colleague The Mad Hatter posited that he was funnier than Mike Myers or Will Ferrell, but merely not as well compensated... I'm pretty sure the list he composed in the OP speaks to that claim.
August 24th, 2016 at 1:08 PM ^
August 24th, 2016 at 1:14 PM ^
Well, no, the two have to go together...
Good deeds without M gear are of questionable worth, M gear without good deeds is still cool, but just a bit hollower somehow...

Until we beat OSU and MSU.
August 24th, 2016 at 11:53 AM ^
can Oakland still be in play or do we have to beat OSU and MSU first?
August 24th, 2016 at 11:55 AM ^
... don't cheat. On your mistress.
