Twas the night before The Game... Group poetry/Drinking thread
Fuck it. I'm bored trying to pass some time before the game. Just for shits and giggles maybe a poem while we wait out this last 16ish hours.
Vodka/Orange/Diet 7
Twas the night before The Game to be played in The Shoe
All Michigan fans were yelling Go Blue! Go Blue!
All the stocking were bused to that Outhouse with care
With hopes that Chase Winovich soon would be there.
Ok, I gotta go make a drink.
Anyone got anything to add?

Bourbon to be consumed. Rhetoric 24 or Old Fitzgerald 9 year. Gonna drink it like its Gatorade when we win.
November 23rd, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
I have my last 2 bottles of 2011 Bourbon County that I'll be drinking tomorrow. I've saved these from the 4 pack I purchased after our last win.
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:41 PM ^
Gonna break the curse tomorrow!
November 23rd, 2018 at 7:36 PM ^
Black Haze then watching Washington vs. WSU.
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
I love the black haze part (I'm rolling with sour diesel). But how can you not be watching OU/WVU?
November 23rd, 2018 at 7:37 PM ^
I'm sipping a nice Chianti, catching up on my Real Housewives of Orange County and New Jersey, as my wife has dibs on the TV tonight
But I picked up a 4-pack of North Coast Pranqster for tomorrow, one for each quarter.
Go Blue!
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:26 PM ^
Hey what happened to the fava beans and all that?
November 23rd, 2018 at 11:07 PM ^
Saving those for tomorrow, with a side of Haskins.

"What is it? A Swinburne? A Shelley?"
"No, it's a Wordsworth."
"Ah, bloody daffodils."

November 23rd, 2018 at 9:15 PM ^

November 23rd, 2018 at 7:42 PM ^
Egg nog and bourbon.
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
Winner!
November 23rd, 2018 at 7:45 PM ^
I'll be listening in from Chile (Fox won't let me stream The Game here, if anybody has expat streaming recommendations I'm all ears), so my alcohol options are a bit limited- probably cheap Pisco and beer if we are winning; I'll be going straight for the martinis if we're losing.
November 23rd, 2018 at 7:58 PM ^
Saludos, fellow traveler in LatAm here.
What you need is a friend in the US who plans to watch the game on their computer. Then share screens via Skype.
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
Hey Harmon, that's a good idea. I'll talk to some of my buddies back in the mitten and see what I can pull together. Where in Latin America are you at?
November 23rd, 2018 at 11:24 PM ^
Based in Chicago. Lived in Colombia 3 years in the 90’s. Currently travel all over. Have been to Chile only once, liked it a lot

How about this?
Twas the night before “The Game”
and all through the land
Michigan fans were excited.
You must understand.
Wins against the Buckeyes
had become few and far between
Watching highlights from 20 years ago
had started losing it’s sheen
Names like Rich Rodriguez
and Brady Hoke
had left fans of Ohio
thinking our team was a joke.
But four years ago,
folks in Ann Arbor started to chatter.
The media came quickly
to see what was the matter.
We’ve got a new head coach
reports were told.
He’s a little bit new
and a little bit old
They introduced Harbaugh
and Michigan fans
got all excited
They said “This is our man.”
“He’s had success in the Pros
and in College too.
He’s the one
who will know what to do.”
“And he’s beat those damn Buckeyes
He’ll be just the trick.
Let’s get to The Game.
Let’s get there right quick.”
But it wasn’t that simple.
The Buckeyes were tough.
And for the next three years.
we didn’t have quite enough.
Overtime losses.
Untimely interceptions.
Michigan fans again
Started getting dejected.
“Harbaugh isn’t the answer.
He’s an overpriced clown.
He can’t beat those Buckeyes.”
Michigan fans started to frown.
Then the 2018 season
started with a loss
Here we go again!
Fans were getting right cross.
But then wins started mounting
and hope came back too
Is this the year we beat the Buckeyes?
Could it be true?
The pundits said “Yes.
This should be your year”
And Michigan fans
gave a resounding cheer.
But the game isn’t over.
It hasn’t begun.
Given past years,
I’m not so sure it will be fun
But the team looks solid
And the Buckeyes look weak
They gave up 51 to Maryland
Only just last week.
So “On Peterson! On Higdon!
Let’s go Peoples-Jones!”
Fans, let’s get cheering
No more moans and groans.
A Big 10 Championship
is in our sites.
And a berth in the playoffs?
That would be more than alright.
All of these worth dreaming about
As Michigan fans sleep tonight.
So I’ll just say “Let’s go Blue!
And to all a good night.”

Tyrone Butterfield can eat a big fat dick
OSU can eat a big fat dick
MSU can eat big fat dick
Can a mod ban this fucking dick?
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:49 PM ^
Ummmm?
November 23rd, 2018 at 9:14 PM ^
Tim Dawg can eat a big fat dick!!
November 24th, 2018 at 12:15 AM ^

Here’s some poetry for you:
”We don’t walk off this motherfucking field without a W. You guys hear me?”
-Donald Brown
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:07 PM ^
while visions of touchdowns danced in their heads.
and mama in her kerchief and i in my cap
had settled our livestock for a long winter's nap.
when out in the pasture there arose such a clatter,
i ran to the window to see what was the matter.
when what did my mgoblue eyes did they see
but urban meyer, taking a ........
i grabbed the old shotgun, loaded with rock salt,
and pulled the trigger, giving urban a stinging assault.
i turned to don brown, who had come to inquire
and told him its his turn to burn ohio with fire
more rapid than eagles, the michigan coursers came
don brown whistled and shouted and called them by name
on devin, on gary, on chase, make us merry
it is a scarlet and gray corpse you will bury!
to the backfield, to the quarterback, in the shoe they flew,
now dash away, crash away in your maize and blue!
i then saw saint jimmy, with his eyes all aglow
and it was victory he was thinking, he was in the know
with a wink of his eye and a twist of his head
he soon gave me to know i had nothing to dread
he spoke not a word but went straight to his work
beating urban meyer, that lying jerk.
and laying a finger aside of his nose
and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose.
he sprang to the team bus, with the sound of a whistle
and away they all drove, like the down of a thistle,
but i heard him exclaim as they drove out of sight,
happy rivalry to all, and to all a good night!

Beautiful, my man! Happy holidays, XM
November 23rd, 2018 at 11:03 PM ^
and you, WW. been waterfowling at all? deer season down there?
November 23rd, 2018 at 11:23 PM ^
I haven't been out much this season, being busy with work and all. The few times I have been out, I've seen a whole lot of nothing. Trail cams picked up on a big bodied 10 pointer that I've had my eye on though, so I'll be in my stand as often as possible in the next few weeks. My dad and I have a weekend long duck hunt planned for January, my first ever with the old man!
How about you? Any luck so far this season?
November 24th, 2018 at 12:11 AM ^
funny, you getting old enough to hunt with your dad where you are the one who prizes those memories so much. my kids enjoy the hunting, but i'm the one that wants the memories, they want the deer.
put an arrow through one 2 weeks ago on the SE corner of the farm. found the arrow covered in blood from tip to nock, but not the deer. when shot he startled, ran 30 yds, then calmly walked away into the swamp. i think he went into the farm next over. was out last night with my bow and saw a few, one right under my tree stand, but none that i wanted to shoot. there are a lot of deer around us.
friend/mgolurker shot a 6 pt with his rifle in nearly the same place on sunday. get your michigan license and come up to the farm. i can put you in a blind or a tree stand, your choice.
November 24th, 2018 at 12:04 AM ^
XM, your best ever.
Go blue. Victory tomorrow.
November 24th, 2018 at 7:36 AM ^
hello ray. hope you had the whole family home for the holiday. game day finally here. go blue.

There once was a girl from Nantucket
she got a free ride to OSU but said “fuck it”
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:10 PM ^
A little parody of Hamilton
Michigan is not throwing away our shot
Michigan is not throwing away our shot
Hey yo, we're just like Alabama
We're experienced, scrappy but we actually know our gramma
Michigan is not throwing away our shot
Daxton Hill ‘a get a scholarship to the University
We prob’ly shouldn’t brag, but dag, he amaze and fights adversity
The problem with Ohio St is they got no brains and no polish
Jim Harbaugh gotta holler just to be heard
With every Rashan Gary word, we drop knowledge
Uche is a diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal
Michigan be Tryin’ to reach their goal , their motivation is heart and soul,
Our freshmen be only eighteen but their minds are older
These Columbus hooligans every year get colder, I shoulder
Every burden, every disadvantage
We have learned to manage, we don’t have tattoos to brandish
I walk the Diag famished
The plan is hammer these BuckNuts in this game
But damn, it’s getting dark, so let me spell out the name
We will be the V-I-C-T-O-R-S we are meant to be
.... not throwing away our shot
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
'Twas the night before THE GAME
and all through the state -
every Meeeechigan fan
said "Fuck Ohio State!"
The end. :)
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:19 PM ^
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
I’m watching the Nutcracker just to burn time. If I didn’t have massive kitchen duty I’d go to bed. This game cannot come too soon.
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:25 PM ^
I'm on a porter kick and just discovered Pigeon Hill salted caramel porter. I can't believe how much I like this beer. It'll be a Two Hearted kind of day tomorrow. Go Blue!
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:26 PM ^
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Fuck Ohio State
and fuck the refs too
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
Surly furious and Elvis juice
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:29 PM ^
I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly.
November 23rd, 2018 at 9:12 PM ^
Lagavulin 16, always neat and clean.
Smoke in my mouth, and fire in my belly.
Consumes OSU, and Let’s Go Blue!!!
November 23rd, 2018 at 8:31 PM ^
And to the surprise of no one, WVU and OU are refusing to play D. Will they beat the Rams/Chiefs total points??
