Mitch McGary Celebration Drinking Thread
As promised three months ago, here is your Jim Lahey Shit-tastic Mitch McGary celebratory drinking thread. People like to say that one player can't change a program...and they're stupid.
I'm drinking whiskey with a splash of Costco brand carbonated water. Tastes like sweet, sweet victory.
I plan on getting drunk and passing out at 9:30 so I have plenty of sleep for early class tomorrow.

Spaten Oktoberfest...McGary's enrollment next year may mean I will go ahead and get BTN
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:38 PM ^
Same! Good choice.
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
I hope Mitch himself comes onto this site to see just how excited he alone made this university. Do you think he would have gotten this type of reception from Duke or Florida?
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:19 PM ^
Since I'm a Wisconsin resident, I'll down an icy cold Miller High Life followed by a PBR chaser. For desert, a delicious New Glarus microbrew. Can't wait to see a kick-ass Wolverines hoops lineup raid the Kohl Center this year and next year. Welcome aboard, Mitch. You're the icing on the cake in an already solid recruiting class. BTW, the Badgers are ultra-pesky and damned near impossible to beat on their home turf, so bring your "A+" game to Madison.
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:21 PM ^
all of it.
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:22 PM ^

November 3rd, 2011 at 6:28 PM ^

hnnng first ever double post wow
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:29 PM ^
....until both fridges are emptied. This might take a moment. I might need help.
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:29 PM ^
I have a physics 240 exam tonight, so I can't drink, I was waiting for the professor to cancel the exam so everyone could celebrate. That didn't happen.
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:34 PM ^
man, I might be proctoring that
if your proctor is drunk, you can be drunk, too.
November 3rd, 2011 at 10:05 PM ^
after a night of heavy drinking. It took away the stress and all the exam anxieties!
November 3rd, 2011 at 10:49 PM ^
i just took the Wonderlic super version yesterday for a job i'm interviewing for - felt like a nervous undergrad when i dialed it up. bttm line: the testing never ends - just manifests itself different ways throughout life.
pumped for MM to come aboard, welcome White Thunder, good luck to you + your new team mates, and GO BLUE!
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:33 PM ^
Some Great Lakes Christmas Ale
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
I'm right there with you. It seems only fitting.
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:34 PM ^
We may look back years down the road and point to this as the turning point of the program. While it may be huge, it's obvious to me at least that all of this was put in motion by last year's squad. Without the significant contributions of that team, this probably isn't possible
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:40 PM ^
People who say "one player can't change a program" are almost always right in football, and right most of the time in basketball. McGary, though, an exception to the rule.
No cocktails for me tonight, though: make mine coffee, please.
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:53 PM ^
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:43 PM ^
BLACK FUCKING COFFEE.
I have a paper to write tonight, so I'm going to have to postpone my celebration drinking until Saturday. Regardless though, McGary!!!
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:43 PM ^
Tip of the cap to you sir. Tip of the cap.
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:45 PM ^
"Prince on Roller Skates." Yeah ... Now get back to drinkin.'
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:54 PM ^
Loose Canon IPA. Triple hopped!
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:56 PM ^
Martini & Rossi vermouth and Kessler's whiskey. Tastes extra sweet tonight.
November 3rd, 2011 at 6:58 PM ^
Bakon vodka (bacon-infused vodka) on the rocks.
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:03 PM ^
Fin du Monde! num num num
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:10 PM ^
So my night will be filled with lots of Peach Ciroc, Blue MFers, and whatever else I can get my hands on.
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:10 PM ^
I'm so happy somebody made this thread... makes me feel like so much less of an alcoholic.
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
Trying to finish off a keg of homebrew wheat so we can throw in some homebrew IPA. This is important work...
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:16 PM ^
the Judge. Loved watching Antoine on the court. Other teams would always make fun of how he looked (a little doughy and soft) and then he'd go ahead and drop 30 point on them.
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:18 PM ^
Surly Furious, then maybe some Tullamore Dew
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:19 PM ^
Or Bulleit Rye. Until then, working on the moot court problem for next semester :(
November 3rd, 2011 at 8:15 PM ^
Moved on to Nosferatu, dancing my ass off while cleaning my appt too. Amazing news+beer makes everything enjoyable.
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:24 PM ^
I'm drinking all the Kool-Aid, at 5pm I had a giant Happy PItcher run through my office wall! And in April of 2013 I hope I'm drinking Champagne! If not sooner!
GOOOOOOOOO BLUE, what a day!!!
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:28 PM ^
My celebratory drink? Water.
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:34 PM ^
Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier.
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
Best day I've had as a Michigan basketball fan in over 13 years. Never under estimate the significance of this day....
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:35 PM ^
I was on 696 when I found out. And from one of the biggest D bags ever....Valenti. Sounded like he wanted to cry when he announced it.
I got home, cracked a Dirty Bastard and changed my oil.
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:41 PM ^
The only thing I'm drinking are Spartan and Blue Devil tears....mmmmmm
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:43 PM ^
micro beer from here in ohio called christmas ale
November 3rd, 2011 at 7:45 PM ^
November 3rd, 2011 at 8:08 PM ^
I can't decide between Cristal and Dom, so I'll probably end up drinking Camo 24 High Gravity Lager in the 24 oz can
November 3rd, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
That's good stuff. Doesn't outthink itself, doesn't taste like pee.
November 3rd, 2011 at 10:28 PM ^
Cheap and simple. Great recession beer.
November 3rd, 2011 at 8:24 PM ^
November 3rd, 2011 at 8:24 PM ^
November 3rd, 2011 at 8:43 PM ^
Sugar, water, and purple.
November 3rd, 2011 at 8:46 PM ^
Whiskey with a splash of sprite!
