You know it’s the weekend of THE BIG GAME when…
-the only thing they talk about on the news is THE BIG GAME even though other important things happened that day.
-you hide the tassel from your diploma that has been hanging on your rearview mirror because you hippie college on the Left Coast has the same colors as Michigan and you’d prefer that your windshield not be smashed.
-your church choir’s anthem is based around the hymn “Come Christians Join to Sing” which has the same tune as the OSU fight song. (I’m wishing we could sing the Doxology to the tune of “Hail to the Victors”.)
-the basses in your choir explain to you that if Michigan wins, you will be tarred and feathered.
-there are more OSU flags up in town than American flags.
-the streets are bare at noon on a Saturday that is 5 weeks before Christmas.
Go Blue!!! From another one of the few, the proud, Ohioans who are UM fans.
it was definitely an interesting game yesterday…
*really having to fight inwardly to not razz the basses about the loss*
🙁
Although the loss was not unexpected. What was really interesting was the OSU offense showed up but the defense didn’t … opposite of most of the year.
And I loved Lloyd Carr walking away from the sideline reporter at half-time!
Believe me, the only perk of Michigan winning was that I had something to razz the basses about on Sunday. (I’m a major UW fan and the Bucks chased the Huskies back to Seattle two months ago.)
Then again… I’m facing the possibility of tar and feathers this next Sunday.
Yes, but UW beat WSU which, had we won helped us out a lot. (I was still rooting for them [grin])
WSU is EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of our residential directors at UCSC was a WSU grad and he would give me a really hard time every time I wore my UW stuff. It got to be a running joke after awhile.
