The Victors Drinking Thread

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan
The leaders and best!
Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
The champions of the West!

Now that The Victors is (rightfully) stuck in your head, how happy is everyone that Purdue got crushed tonight? What's the drinking schedule look like for during game, post-game, pre-Ohio and beyond? Just have to mention that I'm sad my alma mater couldn't topple MSU earlier.

Anyway, what's everyone drinking? I'm having some cheap coffee liquor mixed with coffee and some flavored creamers. It sounds odd to say, but the only thing that could cap this day off is Ohio beating Nebraska.

Since the original thread has served its purpose, I'll just say this should be a full-on drinking thread. I've been having alcoholic coffee all night, I'm now switching to some wine (Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc) followed by cheap champagne to celebrate the girlfriend's fall ball performance and the Wolverine's clinic in West Lafayette. What about you, MGoPosters?

Go Blue!

*I was raised to believe that Cooper was the perfect coach in Columbus, and I have a hard time disputing that. "#1 Ohio State falls to Michigan" sounds incredible, no matter the number in front of our team.

Michigan did what Michigan wanted to do...

It was refreshing to see US dictating on both sides of the ball rather than reacting. I've felt all year we've been adjusting too much rather than playing our game.

I think Borges called this game PERFECTLY. And this comes from someone who was sick after the ND game because the play calling was so damn bad. On the road Borges has to have a little more Lloyd Carr in him - stick to your guns...fuck the cute shit. He did just that.

Safe passes to keep the chains moving and get Denard in rhythm, variations in the running game to keep the other team off balance. On the road, just get first downs...don't worry about anything else. Actually, just stay "ahead" of the down and distance. THAT is when we're most effective.

Borges did that ALL day, in fact, I don't know if we were in too many "and long" situations that didn't have to do with a penalty.

Along those same lines, Mattison called a BEAUTIFUL game, he had those guys ready for every screen, every slant. It looked like we had 12 guys on the field at times. Rarely were we outnumbered on the edge...very good performance by the defense.

I do wish we could've gotten Fitz more room, we've got to work on some designed run plays (rather than zone-reads) that get him going. I thought Rawls should've played MUCH earlier, but if the coaches were trying to get Fitz the ball --- I can live with that, no question. In the future though, Rawls needs to get the ball more often (Norfleet too).

It wasn't perfect, but it was Michigan Football. We did exactly what we needed to do, there shouldn't be ANY complaining after this win.

“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”
