No bottle of Grey Goose?
(Note: I don't understand that meme, but it seems to be popular.)

arnt geese normally grey?
the name of this should be, like, neon green goose, or hot pink goose, something that would catch your attention if it was a real thing
like the MSU football team

I was tempted to throw in any bottle of liquor just to be a nice guy, but really, it's an OSU fan, and even if it were Grey Goose, I don't think he'd have gotten the joke.

I guess it depends on whether you know and like the guy, or not. The joke is subtle though. You could also just give him cash with a note from Tressel saying "You're awesome. So proud of you. Can't wait to make your dreams come true. Call me when you have a minute. Love you man." A little less subtle.

Are you asking why Grey Goose is associated with TUOOSUOO?
If you are, when Clarett was in NFL training camp the rumor is that he carrier around a water bottle with Gray Goose vodka in it. Also I'm pretty sure he had Grey Goose with him when he was arrested but I could be mistaken.

I've been wondering about that for a while now.

I should also note that the person who coordinated the entire secret Santa is a Texas fan, and he agrees with my hypothesis that Texas is, in fact, bizarro Michigan (or vice versa), and Oklahoma is bizarro Ohio State.
He fully approved of my decision.

I had an MSU fan student buy me a Spartan hacky sack yesterday, because she knew that my BA was from UofM. I told the student that I was thrilled, I needed something MSU to kick around. It kind of ruined her moment of triumph.

My lil' bro (WMU alum) is marrying a Penn State grad. So I decided I'd get them these fleece hats, navy blue for Penn State, and part goldish yellow for Western Mich.
I'm such a good brother.

Clarret was slammin Grey Goose and rockin the kevlar when he was arrested. You could get him a Charlie Baumen jersey. Suckeyes always love to be reminded of Woody's breakdown.
