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.

All about the volume, man.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:25 PM ^
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.

the formula is length divided by girth x the amount of time you have been holding it in.

WTF is up with your sig? I mean really.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:19 PM ^
Oh yeah!? Not if I have anything to do with it. I'll bet you a buck I can piss farther than you. Book it.

You need a vacation somewhere warmer.

What are you trying to get out of this thread? Serious question. Because as it is now, this just seems like you are trying to cause a flamewar. There are going to be a lot of different, very strong opinions and this is just one more thread.

and in bad taste to post that video at this time.
December 18th, 2012 at 8:10 PM ^
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.

My post was to implore the powers that be not to give "weapons" (i.e. the power to post) to "monkeys" (I'll let you fill this one in), so as to avoid unknowingly "shooting" (writing posts that do nothing but inflame the masses) the blog to shit.
And by the way, lighten up, Francis.

I like your avatar, but maybe you should think about updating to the latest uniforms.

Calm the fuck down

Will you pretty pretty please post instructions on how to get an embedded video to autoplay at a certain point? It's never worked for me, even though I enter the time I want it to start at.
December 18th, 2012 at 9:35 PM ^
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&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&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&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&version=3&start=157" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
3.) ???
4.) Profit

I was with you until you got to "old embed code". Guess i'll just continue posting useless responses with no embeds.
December 19th, 2012 at 8:47 AM ^
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.
December 19th, 2012 at 11:07 AM ^
Alright here's a trial:
Edit: didn't work. Do you still have to use the old embed code using this method? If so, it doesn't exist on YouTube anymore.
December 19th, 2012 at 6:11 PM ^
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.

1. This is a terrible post.
2. Yes, I care. Yes, our uniforms are tradition. Sure, our away jerseys have evolved over time, but they were tweaks, and they never changed within a season let alone 10ish times over the course of 2 years.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:03 PM ^
Dammit. It seems that Dollars > Tradition.
I disagree.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:35 PM ^
Why can't our uniforms look like they did in '93, when one player wore a block M, and another the famous Michigan Y, because this is Michigan Fergodsakes!
December 18th, 2012 at 7:07 PM ^
I never thought I'd say this, but I would have to agree with George W on this one...
December 18th, 2012 at 7:04 PM ^
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.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:07 PM ^
December 18th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
The childish post about being insecure about how you are viewed by fans of other programs and thus using 133 years of tradition as a bragging tool?
December 18th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
Many fans are in a similar situation. It is indeed primarily a pissing contest with ourselves.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:05 PM ^
and a sweeter post! you've combined all of the qualities of feces with all of the qualities of nothing to make for the rare crappy post about nothing.
December 18th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
YOU take the time out of your incredibly busy and important life to post multiple times on the thread that you are too good for? Yeah...........
December 18th, 2012 at 7:06 PM ^
December 18th, 2012 at 7:17 PM ^
Well, I think we are the home team against SC, which means we chose to wear these as the home team, which means that these ARE our home uniforms for this game, which means that we've now screwed with the HOME UNIFORMS!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! EVERYONE PANIC!!!!
