Templeton Rye, with a little water. Not sure if there's a name for that, not neat but not on the rocks either.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
Yes. It’s called Whiskey and Water
August 25th, 2018 at 7:35 PM ^
Also, none as Rye and Water or in Faygo terms what they got the flavor for Rock-n-Rye from.
Or something like that. It sounds cool.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
Templeton Rye, on the rocks, with some orange fizzy water. At least that's what I'll be having an hour from now when dinner is cleaned up and Hawaii-CSU hits the screen.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:25 PM ^
Depending on how much water you’re talking about, it could still be considered neat. For example, when you drink scotch you add maybe a few drops of water or so to release the aroma. It’s still considered neat at that point. If it’s actually “watered down” with a teaspoon or more there’s no term.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
A splash, maybe a full tablespoon at the most, with a couple of drams of whiskey
August 25th, 2018 at 5:53 PM ^
This is also the only time we will ever care about UMass and Duquesne.
August 25th, 2018 at 5:54 PM ^
I love college football as much as anyone, but I can’t bring myself to watch any of these games tonight.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:00 PM ^
On the other hand, I totally looked for a stream of this UMass game.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:03 PM ^

You're damn straight I'm watching. It's been a long walk through the desert, boys, but we've arrived.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:04 PM ^
Wyoming will always be interesting as long as Craig Bohl is coaching there. Heck of a run of talent development with his last two QBs.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:37 PM ^
I try not to think about UMass, ever since we struggled to beat them under RichRod.
August 25th, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
I had actually forgotten about that game till now
August 25th, 2018 at 5:56 PM ^
Hawaii and Colorado State at 7:30!
August 25th, 2018 at 6:13 PM ^
I'm actually really excited for this game. Good MW game.
August 25th, 2018 at 5:58 PM ^
At long last, college football is on the television.
We have arrived, folks.
August 25th, 2018 at 5:58 PM ^
This is soooo much better than NFL preseason... or regular season for that matter.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:01 PM ^
Cooperate sterile whore ball you mean... Now with male cheerleaders. Nfl died in the 90s
August 25th, 2018 at 6:01 PM ^
Gonna be special season for us! Sick of all these so-called Michigan fans saying we are “hoping” for this or that. We are taking it - not “hoping” for it! Go Blue!
August 25th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
Plus one for Grapefruit Sculpin! I’m having Cigar City Jai Alia. So happy summer is winding down! Summer on he east coast has been crappy. Bring on fall!
August 25th, 2018 at 6:17 PM ^
Excellent choice of drink sir, however, the price is overwhelming.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:18 PM ^
So glad CFB has returned! Looking forward to the Hawaii at CSU game tonight.
By the way, UM voting on Captains tonight. Who do you have? A respected poster said there could be as many as 4 which is unusual.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
If they stick with 2, I'd say Chase and Karan. However, could see any of Gary, Bredeson, Newsome, Kinnel if they expand.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:23 PM ^
Solid choices. I was thinking Grant too.
Col E.H. Taylor bourbon tonight!
August 25th, 2018 at 6:24 PM ^
Bourbon - always the right choice
August 25th, 2018 at 6:40 PM ^
Nice! Evan Williams for me after the kids go to bed. Best bang for your buck by far.
August 25th, 2018 at 7:23 PM ^
Grant as the 3rd captain, with Karan and Chase (also think Kinnel is a sleeper for it)
August 25th, 2018 at 8:59 PM ^
Col EH Taylor Small Batch is the best value in bourbon, great bottle for under $50, I'm drinking Elmer T. Lee myself tonight
August 25th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
Chase Winovich and Ben Bredeson?
August 25th, 2018 at 7:25 PM ^
Would love to Grant Newsome be elected captain.
And must Honor Our Seniors, Winovich and Higdon and Kinnel. They went to Chicago for a reason.
Go Blue. Big Year a week away.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
Bulleit on the rocks....but it’s a really nice glass.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:23 PM ^
Jack and Vernors at a wedding in GR. Thank God for football.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:27 PM ^
Going with Macallan 12. Neat, of course.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
There's a chill in the air in one evening, and a handful of rebellious leaves defiantly changing their color early.
A final few summer house chores dot the Saturday list.
The faint echoes of band practice float to the ears above the lawn mowers and playing children.
Across the nation, for one last time, countless people flip sullenly through a tv channel list grousing that nothing is on.
A check of next week's schedule. A smile appears.
Football is coming.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:37 PM ^
Football is the only thing that makes me OK with summer's end.
August 25th, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
You have a way with words my friend
August 25th, 2018 at 6:39 PM ^
Drinking some Tito’s with lime juice and tonic water. Definitely will be watching the Hawaii and CSU game. It’s been way to long of a wait for college football. So ready for next weekend! Go Blue!
August 25th, 2018 at 7:03 PM ^
Tito’s and soda with lemon and lime juice is one of my new staples.
August 25th, 2018 at 6:43 PM ^
Oldie but good
Captain n Coke......
So glad football is back. My Son has played 2 games already (6th grade). Sink have had a good tune up....,
August 25th, 2018 at 6:51 PM ^
Opened a bottle of CBS.
August 25th, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
Right before the Colorado State/Hawaii game, some solid comments about Ohio State. At least from CBS, the disappointment in Ohio State doesn't seem to be fading.
August 25th, 2018 at 8:17 PM ^
I heard a discussion about Smith/Meyer/OSU on NPR today and they rarely discuss sports. (They weren't really this time either-- they were discussing a powerful institution refusing to address misogynistic violence.)
August 25th, 2018 at 7:45 PM ^
Sticking to water tonight sadly, wife is due next Saturday but is having labor back pain so it could be anytime now. At least CFB back, Hawaii and Colorado State is fun so far.
August 25th, 2018 at 8:19 PM ^
Best wishes, a week early is better than a week late!
August 25th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
Thanks! Unfortunately we will be having her at Ohio State, still more excited than ever though.
August 26th, 2018 at 4:06 PM ^
Bring a Michigan onesie from home so they don’t try putting the baby is some God forsaken red and gray.
August 25th, 2018 at 7:52 PM ^
Enjoying a Founders Curmudgeon's Better Half. This is one tasty beer. Honestly, I like it better than CBS.
August 25th, 2018 at 7:54 PM ^
Watching Hawaii vs CSU ... Kirkland rye whiskey is 20 bucks for 1.75L and it is good
August 25th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
Hear that? That's pads popping and helmets cracking. Whistles, cheers, bands, and coaches yelling "GOD DAMNIT". It's football, baby.
Now it's time for the sound of cracking open some Miller.
August 25th, 2018 at 8:00 PM ^
I tend to root for Colorado St as one of my non-Michigan teams so I'm definitely watching this game. Looks like it may be an entertaining one.
