Win will cause me to: ? // Loss will cause me to: ?
Borrowed from Brian's weekly game previews, let's hear your thoughts on how you'll react to the OSU game outcome. Here's mine:
Win will cause me to: Yell and scream like a teenage girl until I lose every remaining shred of my voice; Stay in the Big House high-fiving, bear-hugging, and cheek-kissing every person wearing maize & blue until every living soul has left the stadium or until I'm physically removed by security.
Loss will cause me to: Attempt to get the "It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine" chant going anyway. How strong of a message would that be to all the recruits that will be at the game - "If you come to Michigan, we're going to love you and support you and cheer for you no matter how awful you play or how many games you lose."
And you?

WHAT I WISH I COULD DO:
Win: do lines of coke off parts of a stripper's anatomy.
Lose: take shots of Wild Turkey off parts of a stripper's anatomy.
WHAT I'LL ACTUALLY DO:
Win: wind up sloppy, sentimental, and nostalgic, blubbering, blabbing, and carrying on about (in no particular order) Bo Schembechler, my time in Ann Arbor and what it meant to me, John Navarre, the '98 Rose Bowl, the '04 Rose Bowl, the Big Game in '03, urinating in cups and passing around flasks for the '97 Ohio State game and getting tear-gassed after the game, losing my mind in Vegas after Bo died and Michigan lost, Tai Streets catching the slant pass in the '96 Big Game, walking out of the '02 Washington game in a huff and hearing the roar from Brabbs' winning field goal, that bar below the Blind Pig, Lloyd Carr punting on fourth and four from OSU's 36 in 2005, Tom Brady.

Win: sing the chorus to "Make 'Em Say Uhh" by Master P, loudly and in a public place.
Loss: oh, probably...ah, hell, same thing.

Win: Watch every single video of Bob Ufer from Youtube, especially the 1979 Indiana game where Ufer says "I've never been so happy in all of my cotton-picking 59 years." And weep.
Lose: Remember that RR isn't Brewster.
(and give Thanks at this season of Thanksgiving)

Win: stare in disbelief at the scoreboard until I am kicked out. Probably won't talk to much crap to my OSU friends (yeah I know, but I'm not like that... pessimism even hinders my celebrations). Go to some parties and party like it's 1969. Spend the off season praying next year is better, but still thinking we'll be pretty bad to mediocre (damn you pessimism!!!)
Loss: Take so much shit from my OSU friend I want to die. Become quiet and contemplative because I love Michigan so much and the last few years have hurt so bad especially since 50-75% of my friends go to OSU/are diehard buckfucks. Drink a lot and probably regret transferring back here partly because of football (at least at Colorado I really didn't care). Why did I happen to come to Michigan during probably the worst 3/4 year stretch in program history? Finally I'll spend the next 9 months hearing about the coaches who I have invested so much into and trying to shut up the (growing) voice in my head that doubts them.

Win: Whoop & holler; point and laugh at my husband who refused to attend the game with his Dad because he feared it would be too demoralizing; check the facebook status of OSU fans who will surely claim that the refs blew a call or U-M cheated in some way.
Lose: Cancel my stripping gig on MichMike86's bus; feel resigned; annoyingly remind my husband (and everyone else) that this wasn't unexpected; pray that Henri stays pasted on MGoBlog for six weeks.

If we lose: Lock myself in a dark room and listen to The Cure.
