Freakin' Purdue...
Just got an e-mail from a Purdue Alum in my group pointing me to this:

Ha. If I were a Purdue fan, I would think that was hilarious.
November 11th, 2009 at 1:41 PM ^
I just don't like being the butt of a 4-6 team's joke.
November 11th, 2009 at 11:34 PM ^
Don't lose to them....?
November 11th, 2009 at 1:32 PM ^
and that it will swiftly be retired to use as a rag once we hang up 100 on them when this thing gets going.
November 11th, 2009 at 3:13 PM ^
Didn't you say this last year too?
November 12th, 2009 at 8:42 PM ^
i upbanged you.

Michigan is having what is considered a down year for UM football, unfortunately for you and the rest of your spartan butt-buddies, msu is having an average season.
November 11th, 2009 at 1:32 PM ^
Yeah I have to agree with BlockM. If I were a Purdue fan I would find this funny. But as a Michigan fan this has the same feeling as when MSU had billboards and tshirts made after last years win.
Amazing what a fan base will do after winning their first game in the Big House since Bob Greise played QB for them.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:08 PM ^
The best teams stub their toe you know once every 40 or so years.
November 11th, 2009 at 11:37 PM ^
Well, Brian made a t-shirt after ND. I don't see t-shirts as a big deal. Just a fun memory. Now billboards...that's a bit more excessive (read: ridiculously pathetic). I mean, $12 for a shirt, vs. that?!?!
November 11th, 2009 at 1:38 PM ^
I see the humor in it, but I guess I dont quite get the feel for being a traditional loser. Ya know, you hear the expression act like you've done it before but I guess once every 30 some odd years is basically like never doing it before. Party on Purdue, party on, until the ass-stomp you receive next year.
November 11th, 2009 at 11:39 PM ^
It's been over 40 years since they won in Ann Arbor. Knowing the history of the two programs, it could easily be that the students buying that shirt will be retirement age before it happens again. And if it makes you feel any better, the alumni will be dead. Let them have their shirt.
November 11th, 2009 at 1:44 PM ^
And creative. And if Michigan is still hated, that means Michigan is still feared.
Unfortunately, no one would create a t-shirt celebrating a win over Purdue because it's too mundane of an event.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:59 PM ^
Virtually every school that beat us last year had basically the same shirt.
November 11th, 2009 at 11:40 PM ^
And considering most of them are doing it again this year, someone should have copyrighted it and made a fortune. It'll stop when we start beating them again. Revenge isn't a t-shirt, it's a W.
November 11th, 2009 at 1:47 PM ^
All time series vs Purude
Michigan leads 41-14
Really Purdue? Start making shirts when you bring it remotely close.
November 11th, 2009 at 11:41 PM ^
Aw, c'mon. They want one in their lifetime. ;-)
November 11th, 2009 at 1:52 PM ^
We better pound them into the fucking ground next year.
Pardon my French.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:08 PM ^
WE WILL LAY THEM IN THEIR FUCKING GRAVE
November 11th, 2009 at 1:53 PM ^
"Once again?"
November 11th, 2009 at 1:57 PM ^
It got us, and in turn it WILL bite the ass of Purdue, MSU, and the others who are suddenly acting as though they've owned us forever. It may not happen under RR, but it will happen.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:59 PM ^
...DOH!
November 11th, 2009 at 1:59 PM ^
He singlehandedly created a rivalry. (Actually, what he's created is a grudge match; a "rivalry" connotes many years of close contests between eqauls, for a substantial title.)
And all that Hope had to to, was to lie about Rich Ridriguez to his team and to the world.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:00 PM ^
why is this creative or funny? this is about as original as ann arbor is a whore or buck the fuckeyes. you see this bichigan thing all over the big ten. it's a fine shirt and i wouldn't fault a purdue fan for wearing it. however, i would make fun of them for going to purdue (seriously, why?) and the fact we're hardly their bitch again.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:01 PM ^
I'm not even a grammar nazi, but this shirt irks me. Once again, Michigan is our Bichiagan (bitch again). What? Once again, your shirts suck again.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:02 PM ^
since the 1960s, and this shirt? Wow!
November 11th, 2009 at 2:03 PM ^
We should make a shirt that says "For the 42nd time in 56 tries, we beat Purdue. And all I got was a stupid shirt"?
November 12th, 2009 at 8:31 PM ^
I really love it. Do it. We just have to win first. We can make a pact or something. Haha now I'm thinking of that scene in Hangover when Alan starts to cut the palm of his hand so the 4 guys can be blood brothers.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:05 PM ^
Oh come on, Purdue. Act like you've been there before. Oh wait...
November 11th, 2009 at 2:19 PM ^
Its amazing how Michigan seems to acquire so many rivalries with other schools.
Not only do we perennially have tOSU, Notre Lame, Little Brother and sort of Penn State
But now schools like Illinoying, and Purdon't think that they have a rivalry with us.
It sucks for us because just like MSU, they seem to be be hyping their guys up especially for Michigan, when for us its just another Big Ten game...
Pretty much I think we have to have the most non-rival rivalries in CFB.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:12 PM ^
When you are the leaders and the best, it puts a pretty big target on your back. I can't really think of a team that doesn't get up for playing us.
November 11th, 2009 at 2:56 PM ^
I'm trying to recall when we were ever those punks' bitch.
Danny Hope is a clown; over/under on a voice-creaking "THE COACHES ARE SCREWIN' IT UP!" is 2011 season; slapping himself at a press conference is 2012 season.
November 12th, 2009 at 11:15 AM ^
no one calls me a bish and gets away with it.
(get it? because it's supposed to rhyme, and it's not pronounced "Mitch-igan". yeah, you get it.)
November 11th, 2009 at 4:08 PM ^
I've never understood why people make t-shirts about beating some other team (and that includes the ND shirt in the MGoStore). Not only are they relevant for less than a year in most instances, but who really cares? Win a conference or national championship, make a shirt and trumpet your success. Beat a team in a regular season game, and there better have been a REALLY good reason why you feel the need to commemorate it in fabric.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:19 PM ^
So, Purdue fans are making T-shirts for beating a .500 team in an off year? I hope they have a lot of fun. The UM's of the world have bigger fish to fry.
November 11th, 2009 at 4:23 PM ^
...we'll always have what really counts.
SUCK IT PURDUE AND ILLINOIS!!1!!
November 12th, 2009 at 2:45 AM ^
No amount of wins or t-shirts sold is going to make Danny Hope look any less ridiculous until he scrapes that pervy looking cock-brush off his upper lip.
41-14 says it all.
