If you guys like burning stuff I live down here in Ohio and for a small fee I'll be only TOO happy to raid my local Target & Dick's Sporting Good stores for OSU crap.  Then again with only a small, nominal mark-up I will sell that shit back to you so you can set it on fire.

At first glance it looks like either a giant onesie a large baby would wear or a long underwear piece, similar to what I imagine a plow driver throws on the morning after a hard snow.

I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start.

from stuffing himself and getting too out of shape for the conditioning drills?  Big surprise he wasn't even drafted.  Good luck selling that piece of shit for $175.

If only Michigan jerseys were being bought in Ohio.  That would really turn the tide of the rivalry.

This just might be the thing to get rid of The Kurse.  What is The Kurse, you ask? I graduated from U of M 25 years ago. We've lost every home game I've attended since then. This isn't just the Rodriguez years - it goes back 15 years. Games against Wisonsin, Illinois, Ohio State in 2007, the Toledo game, Penn State two years ago, Iowa last year. No, you can not pin Appalachian State on me - I was nowhere near the stadium. 

 

In any case, I'm going to the Ohio State game this year and have been looking for some sort of Buckeye voodoo doll, or some other item I can sacrifice to the Michigan Gods. I have googled "Curse Removal" only to be presented with a list of psychic websites - I'm not doing that. 

 

But maybe a Boren jersey would be the perfect thing to exorcize. I'd hate to put money into that guy's pocket, but it might be worth it. 

 

If anyone has any ideas on how to rid myself of this heinous Kurse, I'm open to suggestions.

we really should just ask ridiculous questions and see if we can get them posted with answers.  something along the lines "is the jersey still soaked in boren's tears from when practices got too hard?"

If it could heat this drafty old ranch in which I live for the next five months, I would consider it, since the gas bill starts to get a little painful around this time of the year.

I think this was sold at the Garage Sale this year. Definitely saw pics of it there. For reference, I got a Moosman jersey at the sale that is size 50+4. This is probably legit.

Fake

Fake... either that or it didn't come officially from Michigan.  Cannot be sold per NCAA regs with a player's name on the back.

Move along, nothing to see here.

So what's the NCAA going to do if Boren is the one actually selling the jersey? I've got it, they can make tOSU vacate all the wins from Boren's senior year...wait...they can make the Ravens demote him to the practice squad...shit I'm out of ideas.

that using all the big rivalry games to memorialize John Belushi and Walter Mathau is off-beat and different, but I hope Brandon gets all the "Bad News Bees" bullshit out of his system before it's time for him to "inject excitement" or "create merchandising opportunities" out of the OSU game. I am wondering why it is necessary to vandalize the MOST important games of the year rather than, say, EMU or, say, Appy State coming up in 2014 (more marketing genius?). I wonder if the idea comes from programs that can't sell out their rivalry games, and then the idea of "creating excitement" for rivalry games that have sold out for over 40 years trickles down to the marketing geniuses in AA? I wish this Halloween bullshit would go away.
