Tradition do you really care? Or just used against rival fans?

Ok we got the new uniforms and many have issue screaming tradition. I feel Michigan's tradition is first great academics, winning, winged helmet, block M and finally Maize & Blue. Many feel the uniforms are a tradition(though the away ones have changed many times before the past few years). My question and I ask for real honesty is if you really are about the tradition, or is it another point you make in an argument to be better then rival fans? Do you really care or just really care about winning the pissing contest?

Mod edit: Title changed. OP: If this doesn't capture what you're looking for go ahead and change my edit, but "Tradition" isn't descriptive enough. JGB.

Volume is important, yes, but if you can't generate enough pressure then it will be like a hose without your thumb over it.  You have to take into account the size of the reservoir, surcharge applied to the reservoir and energy losses throughout the cycle such as friction.  Also, there is the angle and air resistance.

Before you make a simplistic statement about volume being the key, you should look through your fluid mechanics textbook.

But pressure is inversely correlated with urethral diameter, which is itself directly correlated with penis size, which is, after all, what a pissing contest is ultimately about.

I'm on a blog.  About Michigan sports.  And that video is related directly to my stated purpose.  If you found the video in bad taste then that is due to YOUR projections, NOT any insinuation of mine. One had nothing to do with the other... that is, until you made it so.  If that were always the case, there really isn't anything that anyone couldn't find subjectively distasteful.

1.) Use the "old embed code". Copy and paste after switching to "plain text editor".

It will look like this:

<Embed><object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JFhT0wFa8B8?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JFhT0wFa8B8?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

2.) Add the point you want in seconds (Min*60 + sec) after the URL and typing "&start=" (example above was 157)

New code looks like this (bolded):

<Embed><object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JFhT0wFa8B8?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&start=157"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JFhT0wFa8B8?hl=en_US&amp;version=3&start=157" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

I actually don't do it the same way as the other poster suggested. In case his/her method doesn't work, here's what I do:

In the embed code, find the URL to the video. Append "#t=Xs" to the end of the URL in the embed code, in which X is the number of seconds from the beginning that you want the video to start.

Open the video you want. then select "Share." Then select "embed."

Below the imbed code are four boxes to check for different options. one of them is "Use old embed code."

Select that, and then copy and paste the code. Follow the instructions posted above to time stamp it.

I'm not from the Midwest. I'm a student at Michigan, but that only means I encounter other Michigan fans. Really, the only contact I have with rival fans involves them posting on this blog. Consequently, I don't ever get into pissing contests of this nature (at least not with rival fans). And yet, I care about this stuff. Honest answer.
