Report: M to wear alternate jerseys for The Game

Submitted by JeepinBen on

Per a retweet from Ace we should all remember the glass house that is Dave Brandon's Block M Branded Michigan Athletics brought to you by Lowes.

@Leo_Blavin, U-M Student TV Reporter tweets "U-M will be wearing alternate jerses against OSU according to players I have spoken with"

How could this go poorly? Remember that awesome time that some bumblebees in all white played Baylor?

Because why should the best rivalry in sports look anything like it has for years and years when you can try to make a few bucks?

We need some flames, and maybe fluorescent orange. In flames.  On the helmet. With black pants, and maybe a giant Adidas logo instead of numbers.  And maybe it's time they introduce our new mascot Gulo, a wolverine with rabies who's also in flames.

let's be the first team to have QR codes instead of player numbers, so the viewer at home can scan the television, and have a built-in web re-direct to an interactive  that sells the flame uniforms in our new flame orange, or get priority seating, or Quizno's coupons!

Fuck this shit.

Good. If ohio is going to year in and year disrespect this rivalry by wearing some ugly shit taking away from the classic look, I say we spit right back in their face. 

Chrome helmets? Fine.

There will be skywriting, too. And prizes for genuine fanified on-field contests. Which will null out any momentum we have going in the actual on-field contest. Dave Brandon is Slim Pickens handing out the nylons and condoms before the attack run in Dr. Strangelove. A fella can have a pretty good time in Vegas with all of that. I can't wait.

And every time he says it sound more and more like a fair weather tool! Sorry mGrowOld. I love ya, but you need to get laid, kill a innocent woodland creature, or go on vacation or SOMETHING to break you out of your piss poor attitude. I'm planning on getting a luxury box in the near future, and if you don't cheer up I'm not going to invite you up. Keep your tickets, cheer your ass off, and GO BLUE!

Yes, as a matter of fact you did mGrow, my brother.  You said you weren't going to renew your season tickets, which pisses me off to no end.  How long have you had these tickets?  If  you had them did you take a hiatus when RR went 3-9?  How about when Michigan lost to App. St. and Oregon?  Get a grip man.  Things are THAT bad, we're transitioning, and if you give up your seats now, you're going to regret it, trust me.

At this point I bet there's a 90% chance you have season tickets next year.  You've now said it so many times that I think you're just saying it to say it.  

This is like when your gf tells you she's breaking up with you.  The first time she says it you think she's serious, but once she's said it 15 times you realize that's just her way of saying she's pissed.  And I think you're pissed.  But no one would talk about their season tickets that much if they didn't care about them.  You clearly do, so you won't let them go unrenewed.  

Let me also say that there's nothing wrong with that.
