What is your guiltiest moment / secret / thought as a Michigan fan? I'll go first:

- If I was Terrelle Pryor, I would have chosen Ohio State, too. In Columbus...he's a friggin rock star.

- I like Jimmy Clausen a lot and wish Henne had put up his numbers...from junior year anyway.

- I like watching Penn State and their machine like defense....especially the linebackers.

- I have yet to ever feel as awestruck as the time when I met Mike Hart my sophomore year. A couple years later, I was hanging out with some ball players, Forcier included....and truly was unexcited about it.

- I like Brent Musberger... a lot.

 

Yours?

You can do what you want, but I've noticed that every time you go on a rant, (ref: above) you follow it up with, "Its all good. I was drunk last night ..."

So, either start one of several 12 Step Programs, (or all of them, for that matter) or STFU.

Because of George Gipp being from my Grandfather's hometown (about 45 minutes from where I grew up), and apparently an acquaintance/friend of my great-grandfather, I grew up a Notre Dame fan. Not a serious one, but we watched their bowl games together.

After the 2009 OSU game, in which Forcier turned it over 5 times, I

 

- Loudly declared I wanted to bomb the side of the stadium filled with OSU fans on the way out

 

- Brokenly yelled YEAH, GO OHIO STATE!!! And cheered their every first down as they ran out the clock

 

- Proudly informed every senior in sight that we had lost to them all four years here

 

-Screamed at, and scared the crap out of, every poor OSU fan walking out of the stadium

 

- Yelled ITS NOT FORCIER'S FAULT, HE THREW AS MANY INTERCEPTIONS AS HE COULD  at the top of my lungs, 5 or 6 times, while in the crowd of people heading back to campus

- Also yelled TRESSEL OWNS OUR SOULS!!!! similarly

Eventually, my friends ditched me, leaving me to walk home alone.

Oh, I was also wearing a clown wig for the game.

This is still tough for me to say/type but I grew up next to East Lansing in a Spartan family and was actually an MSU fan by default until I started looking at schools for college and came to Michigan.  

Weird, I thought it would feel good to get that off my chest but I feel even more dirty now

Grew up in Columbus in an all Ohio State fan family.  Wait it gets worse.  My father has been working at various OSU athletic events (tickets, security, etc.) for years (football for over 30 years).  There exists a VHS tape of my family's Christmas when I was around 5 and I was completely decked out in OSU gear.  I have been a Michigan fan for as long as I can remember, but there was apparently a period in my youth that I have completely blacked out.  Oh God, the guilt.  I recite The Victors ten times before I sleep each night as a penance.  Bo, forgive me.

-I went to the penn state game in 08.  Afterwards I went out to some house parties, i wore a penn state beanie so i wouldn't get my ass beat.  I'm so sorry.

-I actually think OSU's shade of red is nice.

-I hate most Michigan fans.

-I like listening to Brent Musberger.

-I think Matt Millen is a good color commentator.

-I'm a Pittsburgh Penguins fan and think Sidney Crosby is a great guy.

Even the Canadians I know don't like Crosby (my wife's Canadian). Even most of them seem to feel he's a little bitch. My wife can't understand how he could be from the east coast with what a db he is.

I work at a college as a janitor even though I feel like I'm smarter than most of the people who go there. Sometimes I see an equation written on a blackboard, like half an equation, and... I just figure it out.  And my best friend is Ben Affleck.

I slept through the Toledo game. I was up late the night before, and when my alarm went off I was just incapable of getting up. I feel like karma spent a year punishing all of my sports teams for that one.

It's funny you say that because I was at that game and I can't remember seeing it. I have pretty good memories of most every game I've attended as a student over the past 4 years (including The Horror, my first ever game at the Big House)...and I can honestly say I can't remember a single play from that game. In the words of Charles Barkley, turrible.

- I don't hate State football and in fact find them kind of adorable.

- My best friend hates sports.

- I rooted for the Cleveland Browns for family/disgust with the Lions reasons.  Until they drafted Brady Quinn.

- I didn't bitch out the girls behind me at the 2004 home game who spent the second half of a close game discussing how much they wanted to fuck the aforementioned Notre Dame quarterback.

- I threw up during the 2007 Oregon game because I was so angry.

- I was flying to Vegas during The Horror, and caught the end of it at a sports book, with an MSU alum.  Now that's punishment for missing a game.

- When I was still in school, I flew to visit my (x)boyfriend instead of going to the 2005 home game against Penn State (I still feel guilty).

- I may or may not have kicked a member of the MSU media during the 2004 game while on the field.

- I may or may not have grabbed some maize ass after rushing the field after whipping OSU in 2003.

- I root for MSU whenever they don't play us.  This is partially because I like the state of Michigan, partially because my boyfriend and his family are all MSU alums - and crazy fans.  They do not return this favor and forever give me crap about UM.  They cross the line sometimes.

- I even wear MSU garb when I go to games in East Lansing, HOWEVA I always have a UM temporary tat visible.

- I instinctively think less of people I meet from tOSU.  I'm trying to overcome it.

"I may or may not have kicked a member of the MSU media during the 2004 game while on the field."

Well done.  No shame there.  Where did you kick him?  Did you kick him hard enough to make a mark? 

" I instinctively think less of people I meet from tOSU."  That just shows good instincts on your part.  "I'm trying to overcome it."  Why?

I (maybe) kicked him kind of down the side, if that makes sense.  It wasn't a direct dong-kick or anything like that.  More like, I'm going to kick here, whether you are in my space or not.

 

I'm trying to overcome it b/c no one else in the office thought it was funny when I put the buckeye my boss gave me in a zip lock bag, ran over it, and proudly displayed the shards in my cubicle.

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned: I have respect for OSU and OSU fans, but none for MSU.  This is because I think OSU fans are by and large normal and respectable with merely a larger contingent of whacked-out nutjob fans than most schools that give them the bad name of cooler-shitting, Redneck-Rocker rioters.  MSU fans, however, are almost all irrational, if-Michigan-loses-it's-better-than-a-State-win, Red-Sox-style haters. 

I also think OSU has fun traditions mixed in with stupid ones.  Calling us scUM: retarded.  Calling us TSUN: creative.  "We Don't Give A Damn...": dumb.  "Hang On Sloopy": admittedly kind of catchy, at least as played as wedding dance music in Ohio, though also fun to gather with the Michigan contingent and yell "SUCKS" after the O-H-I-O part.  Script Ohio: fun to watch, but you shouldn't get to be called "The Best Damn Band in the Land" for learning how to play Follow the Leader.  O-H-I-O: I approve of any arm-spelling tradition, but to me it looks like O-U-A-O.  You can't make an H that way.  Lastly, Ohio Stadium is kind of cool looking, but that's not gonna stop me from calling it a giant toilet seat.

There, it feels good to get that off my chest.
