Don't bring a scotch story and misspell Lagavulin!
October 10th, 2017 at 1:02 AM ^
Apologies, but thanks for pointing out. If you're in Portland after a victory, I'll share a glass
October 10th, 2017 at 1:21 AM ^
That's sounds like a pretty good deal.
October 10th, 2017 at 2:19 AM ^
On NE Alberta...
October 10th, 2017 at 12:43 AM ^
that you've been drinking scotch again.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:45 AM ^
The problem is the Glenfiddich. You're wasting your money on that stuff. Seriously, it's about the least interesting single malt in the world. Buy some blended scotch if you want to drink shite.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:52 AM ^
Glenfiddich 18 is not shit. Sure, it's more tailored to the conservative palate, and you can find better offerings at similar prices, but it's not shit.
October 10th, 2017 at 2:21 AM ^
Is excellent paint thinner and removes the glue under IKEA tags quite well.
Drink mohr bourbon!!!!
October 10th, 2017 at 10:20 AM ^
I was wondering if "this is good shit" is applicable when commenting about a good Scotch? My friends and I had other 'consumables' and that is how we refered to quality product; is it fair to decribe a fine Scotch as "good shit"?
Thanks! I'll hang up and listen
October 10th, 2017 at 6:02 AM ^
Are you high? comparing a silky smooth 18 year single malt to blended swill....DO YOU EVEN DRINK SCOTCH?
October 11th, 2017 at 12:00 PM ^
I do drink Scotch, but I only drink interesting Scotch. Islay or Speyside for me. I'm not shelling out fifty dollars plus for a bottle that is crafted to be as unobtrusive as possible. I'll shell out my hard earned money for some Laphroaig quarter barrel.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:37 AM ^
The anti-blended bias is interesting. There are plenty of good blends out there - Chivas Regal (esp. 25 year) probably being as tasty to me as any of the single malts listed here. (My single malt preferences are Glenmorangie Signet if you're buying, and Laphroaig 18 if I'm buying.)
And you realize that most single malts are blends too, right? They're just blends from the same distillery (i.e., they blend batches for consistency of the product).
October 10th, 2017 at 10:27 AM ^
Chiv & JW do not have the same flowery aftertaste that a 12/18 year etc single malt does imo
October 10th, 2017 at 12:46 AM ^
All my fan superstitions and rituals were brutally exposed as farcical indulgences in self-importance by the richrod and hoke eras
October 10th, 2017 at 12:53 AM ^
interesting.... watching Michigan used up all my booze this year too
October 10th, 2017 at 12:57 AM ^
I have watched only two games from my favorite resort up north. The 2017 MSU game and the 2014 Rutgers game. I think the place is cursed.
October 10th, 2017 at 12:57 AM ^
The only game we’ve won that i’ve been at was EMU. We do pretty damn good when I watch it from the couch.
October 10th, 2017 at 9:29 AM ^
Please and thank you.
Signed,
Wolverine Nation
October 10th, 2017 at 1:03 AM ^
We lost 1 game. Wheels aren't falling off, guys. There are some concerns, but program is headed in the right direction. Chill out
October 10th, 2017 at 3:06 AM ^
If there is no repentance, there can be no healing.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:12 AM ^
and soon to be 1-5 against our rivals does not a good direction make
signed...unchilled
October 10th, 2017 at 7:13 AM ^
This is now the third coaching regime in a row that in its third season has shown abject incompetence on one side of the ball. The season thus far feels eerily similar to Hoke's third: an early big win over a ranked opponent (Notre Dame/Florida), followed by several way too close wins over questionable opponents with offensive deficiencies noted (the O line and play calling), followed by a probability defying loss to a division rival, and the sinking feeling that no, the issues will not be fully addressed this season.
Don't get us wrong. No one is saying Harbaugh will be as hapless as Hoke. But man those traffic helicopters are sending we straight back to Nam, man! Oh ______, Victor Charlie is coming to get us!
October 10th, 2017 at 1:11 AM ^
an Arizona State t-shirt I bought at the 1986 Fiesta Bowl on Michigan game day, with a michigan shirt or sweatshirt over the top. We won 5 straight Big Ten titles with that shit. Except for 1 maybe 3 or 4 years we've been a dumpster fire of inconsistency since I had to toss it out.
October 10th, 2017 at 1:21 AM ^
I'd go with Caol Ila as a post victory scotch--usually available in any bar with the game, with notes of salt (tears of the other teams fans), smoke (opposing teams fans burning couches) and iodine (opposing team prudently disinfecting their wounds).
October 10th, 2017 at 1:27 AM ^
It's actually my fault for a number of reasons but primarily because I broke the very first glass piece that I ever purchased. It was from my freshman year, nineteen ninety something, and from the head shop off of State Street to the northwest of the diag. I think it was called Stairway to Heaven. The piece was maize and blue and increadibly sturdy, dropping it multiple times but never a fatal blow would it take. Until two weekends ago, third quarter of the Purdue game. Things were clicking on O finally so I thought I could take the foot off the gas and chill out, you know. I go to the sink to bang out the kicked shit plugging the hole and it slips from my hand and breaks. The broken pieces should have been put in a shrine at least for a period of morning; I foolishly threw them in the trash. I mean we've been together for 18 years. Fuck, I've had that bowl longer than I've been having sex. But I can repent, I will repent, I must repent.
Cleanse me with your negs!!!!!!
October 10th, 2017 at 4:53 AM ^
Michigan arrogance
October 10th, 2017 at 6:27 AM ^
It's my fault. I had to park in a different spot for my tailgate and it screwed up the whole day. Everything felt off tailgating in this different spot. Same thing happened for the 2015 osu game.
October 10th, 2017 at 6:34 AM ^
thank you for putting my mind at ease.
October 10th, 2017 at 6:37 AM ^
I’ve never seen MSU lose to Michigan in person. I stayed home last year for the first time in a while, but returned this year. I’m honestly beginning to believe that I am their good luck charm. I have almost never seen them lose live.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:06 AM ^
for this game. Uh, the last time I did that, it was App State. Sorry y'all.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:12 AM ^
I too have a more, ritual/superstitious thing when watching Michigan play.
Nothing too spectacular I just sit in my lucky tv chair and do... repeated actions with a water bottle.
Though I haven't been really doing it at all during this season.
I would like to but also...
October 10th, 2017 at 7:20 AM ^
I sensed a disturbance in the force. Confirmed.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:20 AM ^
Shit someone beat me to it. Confirmed.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:26 AM ^
I thought my wife's "State" t-shirt in the spaghetti script looked pretty damned good on her at one point during the game. That spaghetti script is the best logo they've got, and the shirt is cut nicely, heather gray with forest green script and on the neck and collar. And my wife is a wonderful person, and I may have momentarily been thinking about that rather than the game during the excessively long half time.
I'm pretty sure that these moments of weakness cost us at least one INT. I apologize for my lack of focus.
October 10th, 2017 at 8:15 AM ^
I too have a sparty wife. I thought she might be more "accessible" after a Sparty win. She was... and I liked it.
I'm sorry.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:34 AM ^
I'm 0-3 watching Michigan play MSU.
I'll never go again.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:38 AM ^
Well, you'll always have your memories of those games. And, after this weekend, pneumonia.
You'll have both of those.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:41 AM ^
Do all of us a favor
October 10th, 2017 at 7:49 AM ^
2010 - Dantonio makes his triumphant return from a heart attack. Cullen Christian is burnt to a crisp on his first snap.
2015 - punt fiasco
2017 - monsoon and general dumbfuckery on offense.
I take responsibility for all of these things.
October 10th, 2017 at 8:13 AM ^
Brought his new bride to the game for her first time. I told her she is never allowed at the Big House ever again. Let’s not risk it.
October 10th, 2017 at 9:28 AM ^
I'm opposite. I am 3-0 !!! (1992,1996, 2006). I have no way to afford tickets to go nowadays for the MSU game.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:48 AM ^
I mowed a block M in my yard for the first time against Purdue. It was perfect just eyeballing it. I tried it for MSU and screwed it up. I had to mow it out. I take the blame for the bad mojo.
October 10th, 2017 at 7:58 AM ^
my ritual is to not drink until we score our first touchdown. of course, by that time Saturday I knew it was too late so I didn't even bother.
October 10th, 2017 at 8:01 AM ^
always wear the same polo to work on game week Fridays. Lost a few pounds recently and thought it didn't look right so I switched to a block M tee and maize (omg Adidas!) pullover. I'm so ashamed.
October 10th, 2017 at 8:15 AM ^
I usually wear the Jordan "Harbaugh hat" with the skinny M (not flat bill because my 40 yr old self can't pull that look off). I opted for my other plain ol' Nike M hat. It had crossed my mind at the time that I was tempting fate but I ignored the superstition as just that. What a fool I have been!
October 10th, 2017 at 8:33 AM ^
Hilarious post, OP.
On-topic, Scotch nerds are special breed. "15 / 18 / 20 year" ... it's lost on me. After all these years it still tastes like rat poison to me. I think that's my problem, though. I have no doubt that the Scotch nerds are on to something. I just can't appreciate it.
October 10th, 2017 at 9:15 AM ^
I won't claim to know anything more about scotch beyond the fact that I really like most of it and it's too expensive to justify drinking as regularly as I'd wish.
October 10th, 2017 at 8:40 AM ^
I am proud of all of you for recognizing what you did wrong. It will make Festivus easier this year.
