Suggested drinking rules for tonight's basketball game.
Take one drink (from the beverage of your choice) whenever:
- TV cuts away to show Zack Novak in stands.
- Info graphic is displayed comparing Burke's stats to Magic Johnson.
- It is mentioned that MSU is a sleeper or dark horse B1G contender / Final Four / NCAA contender.
- It is mentioned that Stauskas is more than just a shooter. (I would be fine if he was just a shooter tonight FYI)
- It is mentioned that this is the first time both teams have played ranked in the top 10.
- Announcers mention Michigan "is back"
- Dakich Index is revealed and Wisconsin is in the top 3.
- Each time Tom Izzo visibly quivers with rage.
- Announcers compliment officials.
- GR3 or THJr throw down an alley-oop dunk.
- Anytime McGary opts for a layup instead of a dunk.
- McGary makes an 8-15 foot jumper.
- Anytime one of Albrecht/LeVert/Bielfeldt/Horford score a basket. Yell, "woo bench points!"
- Burke isolation step back jumper (you must also perform the act of the step back jumper while drinking)
Finish your drink and set your couch on fire if:
- MSU leads by twenty within first five minutes of the game.
- Half court buzzer beater with no one guarding the inbounds.
Feel free to add your own suggestions.

Or a LeBron tweet.

Point and laugh at your Sparty friend that is watching the game with you, when they show Gibbon's game winner.
Then suggest you take 12 drinks to his mere 10.

Add every time the mention/show Brady Hoke in the arena.
Love seeing coaches support other teams, especially at away games.
Reference: "@AReid_Wolverine: Brady Hoke is heading up to East Lansing to attend a certain college basketball game tonight." (Andy Reid is a writer for the Michigan Rivals site)

Apparently Mattison will be there as well, along with both their wives. Just a Gorgeous Al away from the power trifecta.

My ritual is a quiet "You put it through the uprights Gibbons." before every attempt.
February 12th, 2013 at 5:31 PM ^
Mine is to cross my index and middle fingers, ring and pinkie fingers, forearms, and thumbs. Then, as he is kicking, I yell, "brunettes, Brunettes, BRUNETTES!".

Since the 2009 and 2010 seasons I have refused to watch Gibbons kick. Even while at the Sugar Bowl and MSU game I closed my eyes and made my buddy tell me when it was over.
February 12th, 2013 at 4:54 PM ^
This is awesome and I may have just enough beer at home to follow all of the rules throughout the whole game.
February 12th, 2013 at 4:59 PM ^
Anytime the announcers talk about how Izzo's teams peak in March.
February 12th, 2013 at 5:03 PM ^
When they mention Hardaway Jr. and his dad.
February 12th, 2013 at 5:11 PM ^
It ain't a drinking game with more than three rules.
February 12th, 2013 at 5:24 PM ^
What about presidents and assholes?
February 12th, 2013 at 5:31 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 5:40 PM ^
you have clearly never come to fisticuffs over the subtleties of beer pong rules.
February 12th, 2013 at 5:14 PM ^
Every time the refs hose us with a BS call, or a no call on a MSU foul, drink.
Warning - this may result in alcohol poisoning.
February 12th, 2013 at 5:28 PM ^
be hammered because of the Tom Izzo rage rule.
February 12th, 2013 at 5:31 PM ^
February 12th, 2013 at 5:34 PM ^
For every three Stauskas hits.
February 12th, 2013 at 5:43 PM ^
Pops Albrecht Biddy Ball reference == chug full pint.
February 12th, 2013 at 5:57 PM ^
During the pregame I'll be drunker than when I drink every time they say "fondant" on Cake Boss...
February 12th, 2013 at 6:08 PM ^
I am currently many time zones away, so I will only find out the score in the morning. Group input needed: should I just catch up completely on the drinking game before stumbling into work or at least wait till lunch?
February 12th, 2013 at 6:37 PM ^
If we get the Gene Steratore officiating crew for the 3rd straight game.
