Gentlemen, Start Your Mustaches.
It's time to bring the mustache back. We had great success and prosperity under the careful and awesome guidance of our mustaches. Michigan shot out of the canon with a 2-0 start and began a giddy September. But oh since the mustaches have been shaved... our fortunes haven't faired well without our collective follicular fortitude.
He we sit, sirs, smooth faced and 5-3. Our euphoric start has deflated, the echoes of 2008 calling out, beckoning us to its shadowy recesses.
We will not lose hope so easily. For we have a plan to combat the lurking evil ahead -- a simple, three step plan of action:
Step One: Grow a beard in November
Step Two: Shave it down to a mustache on Nov. 21st
Step Three: Wear that mustache proudly.
This time we call upon the powers of the 'stache to bring down the dark forces of the Vest. This year, with the help of our mustaches, we will snap the streak against OSU. It's the Mustache vs. the Buckstache, bitches! Come November 21st, it's so f'ing on.
And maybe the facial hair you're cultivating along the way will lend some good will in the weeks leading up to the showdown...
Grow Blue!

I wish I could grow facial hair because I'd be all over this. Sigh.

My father had a mustache and a mullet at my communion. Best first communion ever... thanks dad.

Now you can dual-purpose grow a tremendous mustache for Halloween and a glorious Michigan victory.
Some ideas:
Full Lip Bush: add a Hawaiian shirt and a Tigers hat and you're Magnum PI!
Trimmed dual triangle mustache: bucket hat, green button up shirt with cut off sleeves and a little fake blood on the arm-- you're Jesse Ventura from "Predator"! "I ain't got time to bleed"
Classical Chinese fu-manchu: add a red flowered table cloth as a cloak, some fake finger nails, and a chandelier repurposed as a hat and you're Lo Pan from "Big Trouble in Little China"

Also could grow the edges out a bit , wax em and point em, grow a little patch on the chin and get a sweet black cowboy hat and trenchcoat and go as Wyatt f-ing Earp!
They called on the thunder and now they've got it!
You tell em our staches are comin, and hells' comin with them!

Full beard also enables the terribly classy Zombie Billy Mays.

than I don't know what is. That is a Stache of epic proportions.
October 27th, 2009 at 11:31 AM ^
Hair, hair! Officially beginning step one sir.
October 27th, 2009 at 11:32 AM ^
You have truly inspired me to grow the most awesome handlebar 'stache the likes of which sweatervest has never seen! Its one 'stache for all, all 'staches for one!
Viva la Mustache!!

But I will now craft the bottom differently... I now think I may go for the full-on Baron Munchausen

If someone can help me move the hair from my back onto my face - I'm in!!! I was never able to grow facial hair without it looking splotchy, blotchy, crappy, etc. But, the hair on my back, that's a different story.

Indeed! And is it any coincidence that Penn State’s second leading tackler against our intrepid Wolverines, Josh Hull, sports a mighty ‘stache? http://www.collegian.psu.edu/printphoto.aspx?id=6361
Or that Navarro Bowman, their leading tackler, has one (albeit a whisper-thin lip duster)? http://www.blackshoediaries.com/photos/potential-penn-state-problem-4/2…

It'd be awesome if we could work the 6 degrees of separation and convince our entire secondary to grow mustaches. Some one with "insider ties" to the team get on this immediately.
Their mustaches will make the pick-six and then run it back too.
October 27th, 2009 at 12:08 PM ^
Unfortunately, I can't participate in this one. Maybe a fake mustache for Halloween, though!
October 27th, 2009 at 2:27 PM ^
You don't have to lie to us Linda. We are all friends here.

between the Guillermo Hernandez style short fu-man, the Rollie Fingers' waxed and the full on handlebar, seen here:

We were supposed to shave them?

By late November I should look like Tom Hanks in Castaway. And by that I don't mean bearded...I mean half nude, dishoveled, and searching for food.
