Save The Game : Official Information Thread

Submitted by JeemtotheH on

This thread is an attempt to consolidate information that will help save The Game. Below are some ways to speak up and help out. Please add information that will help with these options or add new ones. Please avoid discussing “pros and cons” of Big 10 alignment because that horse is currently a puddle of blood and horseshoes.


The message is simple: Michigan and Ohio State should play The Game during the final week of the Big 10 regular season, period.

Details beyond that are irrelevant until this is guaranteed.

Bring signs to Michigan football games

Some ideas to start things off:

            “Keep The Game the Same”
            “Save the Date, Michigan Ohio State”

 

Start chants at Michigan football games

 A Facebook Group is organizing a cheer at Ohio State's first home game on Thursday.  With 10 minutes left in the 1st quarter, fans will rise and chant "Save The Game".

I asked the Michigan Facebook Group to email out an event for a similar chant at the Michigan-UCONN game and he promised that he would.

 

Finally, notify all of your friends, family, alumni, and Ohio State acquaintances of these options.

Thanks,

MTS

Once/If the OP updates this, I think people should start posting this on other Michigan sites and blogs.  I know I'm going to post this on Scout once it's updated/I add the other info later (don't really have time right now to make it look pretty).

Remember to give credit by the way to MTS :)

1) I'd like that shirt better with some variant of Brian's title from his article ("Every Year.  Same Time.  Once.  The Last Time.").  Maybe not exactly those words, but something like it.

2) Might be worth it to take the "chant" to Twitter as well.  If nothing else everybody watching from home can feel like they're a part of it...
