Evening Football Drinking Thread
Enjoying a Guiness Stout and the Iowa State West Virginia game. I'm adopting ISU for the balance of the year and if I squint hard can see Wolverine helmets on the MIB team.
And eff Jim Harbaugh for checking out and letting this program become a dumpster fire. No coach worth a damn would allow their players to look defeated before a game even starts.

Just chilling with Coors Light tonight. Watching Indiana/Wisconsin
December 5th, 2020 at 6:47 PM ^
Me too!

Me too!

I posted some boo hoo anger comment and now I'm editing it
December 5th, 2020 at 6:18 PM ^
Just drinking boxed wine (don’t judge me). Watching the IU-UW game and long for us to have competitive games like this again.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:20 PM ^
Slap the bag.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:23 PM ^
Box wine is tasty and hella convenient.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:22 PM ^
Football? What's football?
What else is on?
December 5th, 2020 at 8:24 PM ^
Check out Mank. Brilliant film...
December 6th, 2020 at 3:31 PM ^
Hey, thanks very much for this terrific recommendation. Really enjoyed this film!
December 5th, 2020 at 6:23 PM ^
Not enough....
December 5th, 2020 at 6:25 PM ^
Iowa State would wipe the floor with us and most of their players wouldn't even start if they were at M.
December 5th, 2020 at 9:28 PM ^
Well they would start now due to great coaching. But I think we get your point, them coming to isu vs. Michigan guys coming to us.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:35 PM ^
Well Iowa State is up 41-3 with 7 minutes left in the 4th, so I'm drinking whatever it takes to make it look like they're wearing Maize & Blue

Kowalski 313 Polish Beer - brewed by Grand River Brewing Company. Excellent full body beer. Much better than I thought it would be. I support most anything having to do with local products or microbreweries so I was compelled to buy a 12 pack. I do not regret it.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:50 PM ^
There are some really good Polish beers out there. Zywiec and Tyskie come to mind. Will have to try this Kowalski 313 beer.
December 5th, 2020 at 9:01 PM ^
I am not sure you would consider Kowalski a true Polish beer but I am still enjoying it. I have picked up a few different imports at a beer & wine store on Jos. Campau and I enjoyed those too.
December 5th, 2020 at 9:17 PM ^
Look for Warka Strong next time you're beer shopping. Probably the best Polish beer available here. I used to get it at the Polish markets in Sterling Heights. Cheers?.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:43 PM ^
Wonder what the chances of ISU going to the playoffs with 2 losses but the B12 champ?
December 5th, 2020 at 6:53 PM ^
One of those losses was against Louisiana, right? 0%.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:58 PM ^
Pesky facts! thanks for the info Ham
December 5th, 2020 at 6:46 PM ^
Guinness right meow then switching to some of my 12 Days of Milkshake Stouts from Rochester Mills Beer Co.
Watching IU and hoping they hang on for my dad!
December 5th, 2020 at 6:49 PM ^
And IU gets it done! My dad has been an IU fan since 1960. He deserves this season.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:54 PM ^
Why is he an IU fan?
December 5th, 2020 at 6:57 PM ^
We're from Indiana. He liked them growing up and he stays loyal. He tried to get me on board, but Glen Rice wasn't having it.
December 5th, 2020 at 7:21 PM ^
Congrats to your dad. I’ve enjoyed watching this team win games.
December 5th, 2020 at 7:36 PM ^
Thanks! Hate that they lost Penix. They're legit top 10 with him. They never should have dropped below the Canes in the polls.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
Just want to point out that Indiana didn't allow a TD by Wisconsin. At Wisconsin. With a bunch of 3 stars. Yes, the same Wisconsin that handed UM its largest home half time deficit in program history. Zero TD's. So there's that.
How can you take the entire body of evidence and what's happened and extent Harbaugh? If it happens it makes anything that Dave Brandon did seem absolutely brilliant in comparison.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:57 PM ^
Indiana has motivation and competent coaching...we have neither. Stars mean nothing if your head coach is a zombie as your example exemplifies.
December 5th, 2020 at 6:57 PM ^
Watching Indiana pass UM as a program for the next few years is surreal.
JH will be back, and get outcoached by at least 4 teams in the future. (OSU, WI, IU, NW)
Tired of watching other programs with much less talent compete at half of UM coaching salaries.
December 5th, 2020 at 7:04 PM ^
Seems like everyone we play out coaches Harbaugh...he doesn't know what he's doing and there are no assistant M coaches who are talented enough to mask it these days
December 5th, 2020 at 11:29 PM ^
Your user name and avatar is what I’m drinking right this very now
December 5th, 2020 at 7:05 PM ^
Enjoying fake beer (because this is all I can have due to medications) and football in which I have no rooting interest. It actually makes for a low stress day, and we need those even in a season made crazy due to a pandemic.
December 5th, 2020 at 7:06 PM ^
Gin (Broker’s London Dry) and tonics. Tonight I’m being a high class motherfucker.
December 5th, 2020 at 7:30 PM ^
Could never develop a taste for gin...Juniper berry flavor bleh!
December 5th, 2020 at 10:10 PM ^
Love the Broker's cap!
December 5th, 2020 at 7:16 PM ^
Mountain Dew Merry Mash-Up
December 5th, 2020 at 7:19 PM ^
Pac12 officials just overturned a wrong spot late in the Stanford-Washington game. Turns out he was short. Huh, that can happen?
December 5th, 2020 at 7:20 PM ^
Great Lakes Xmas ale, lagunitas supercluster, and rhinegeist cloud hazy. A bit of a mix. Been trying to get my hands on some half acre daisy cutter for a while now down here in Cincinnati.
December 6th, 2020 at 3:06 PM ^
Great Lakes Christmas Ale with a cinnamon sugar rimmed glass is my favorite seasonal. Good choice.
December 5th, 2020 at 7:21 PM ^
Blanton's bourbon, which I have because my local liquor store was out of something listed on their website and sold it to me as a "consolation". Blanton's isn't shown on their website. They must keep it in reserve to mollify unhappy customers. It certainly mollified me. Now I'm in a great mood for a night of meaningless football.
December 6th, 2020 at 12:00 AM ^
More likely they keep it in reserve for special customers and friends/family. They probably figured they'd use it to assuage you tonight instead of letting cousin Bobby buy his monthly bottle.
December 5th, 2020 at 7:31 PM ^
celebrating. our 2021 son committed for football, very happy for him and may write a diary on it. will be putting our grass fed lamb chops on the grill. a coffee cup full of red pop is also in the plans. it is really a great day.
December 5th, 2020 at 7:40 PM ^
Wow! Congrats XM! What a great day! Who is the lucky school?
Also, lamb chops sounds wonderful.
December 5th, 2020 at 8:08 PM ^
thanks cue. i would gladly share the more specific details, hudl tape, etc, but there are a few psychotic trolls on the list, in whose respective craniums i reside without paying rent. i can only be vague about the details.
December 5th, 2020 at 8:30 PM ^
Yeah, I get it. Nonetheless my heartfelt congratulations! Got the young’un on a great track to success!
December 5th, 2020 at 8:09 PM ^
Congrats XM and Jr XM. I would enjoying reading your diary about sons journey. Appreciate positive stories
December 5th, 2020 at 9:16 PM ^
diary posted.
December 5th, 2020 at 8:12 PM ^
I remember drinking faygo red pop as a kid back in the late 60s -70s. Tasted really good but I bet they have banned those old red dies that made it looks so red looking.
December 5th, 2020 at 9:01 PM ^
when i say 'red pop', i don't actually mean red pop. i mean some form of red wine. for instance, i have a cab out tonight.
