What Will You Do To Beat M1ch!g@n??

I spend a lot of extra time during this week indoctrinating my children in the ways of The Game.

My daughters essentially an 11 year old teenager on me so she just laughs but she remembers it all from when she was little. One of my prouder moments was when I got a note home from an elementary school teacher upset because my daughter wouldn't say the proper name of that state up north in a geography lesson. She had been taught it was a curse word in our home and not to be spoken. :biggrin: She was also the one who proudly worse her OSU gear to school the day after the Glendale fiasco down here even when I told he she didn't have to put herself through that. Damn near brought a tear to my eye.

So now I've got the boy about to turn 5 and starting to get more into it. He goes through the house signing "bomb ann arbor now" and asking if its ok to say the bad words he heard in some of Daddys Buckeye songs (dead schem's). Wifes not real fond of that one but what the hell, she should know I'm a completely irresponsible parent by now.

Today we closed the book on his confusion over Wolverine the X-man and the Wolverines his old man hates so much. Everything to him is still good guys vs bad guys or more specifically Autobots vs Decepticons. So to put the whole thing in terms that made sense to him I just explained that Jim Tressel is Optimus Prime and the Buckeyes are the Autobots and of course RR is Megatron (only smaller) and the bad wolverines are the decepticons (only a lot smaller).

So we left it that Wolverine the X-man is cool, the wolverines that daddy hates are evil incarnate, they must be hunted down and eradicated from the face of the planet by all means necessary and that Optimus Tressel is just the Autobot to do it.

Bottom line is he's stoked to see decepticons get killed on Saturday and we worked out a deal he can only say "fuck M*ch*gan" to me and when he's sure the old lady isn't around.

You sir, are a great fatherly figure. :oh:

I will be hosting a tailgate at my home, inviting former teaching colleagues to watch the game there --- brats, metts, Italian sausages from Avril's (the best butcher shop in Cincinnati) on the grill, big pot of chili brewing up on the stove, TBDBITL on the stereo, beer cooling down -- Harp, Goose Island IPA, Spaten Oktoberfest and Morelein OTR, pennants of all the Big 10 teams over the mantle -- except Michigan which will be located in the water closet along with the reminder to, "flush twice, it's a long way to Ann Arbor," shots of Woodford Reserve remembering OSU grad Jim Crone afterwards. Smile at another Buckeye victory, pass out.

In response to the thread title, I plan on making it clear that THE GAME thread should NOT be a fashion discussion, and that anybody talking at length about the uniforms during The Game should do it elsewhere.

It's the greatest fucking rivalry in sports, it's not a Paris runway show. A quick 'they look good', or a 'I like them' or 'I hate them' will be OK, but beyond that any comments belong in the uniform thread. We've had to read about 20 pages of comments about these 'tribute' uniforms for the past 2 weeks, and we don't need to be discussing fashion during The Game itself. If guys are slipping in the new shoes, that's OK to talk about, it's affecting the play.

Unlike during the Penn State game, the uniform thread will be left open during The Game. Personally, I won't even look at that thread until after The Game is over. If you feel compelled to say more than 5 words about the uniforms, do it in the uniform thread.

Sounds like a fantastic day. :cheers:

I picked up a couple of *ichigan Halloween costumes on the cheap at the local dollar store and put them on my kids. I will burn them in effigy after Saturday. I put "T. Forcier" on one with yellow marker and "Graham" on the other. First I slipped on my #47 jersey to deal with Forcier. I told my 4 year-old daughter, aka Forcier, to run into the kitchen with a football to score. Every time she tried, I hit her as hard as I would suspect Thad Gibson or Cam Heyward might come at the Tater. Once she had enough, I had the baby throw on the "Graham" jersey. I told her to go ahead and try to get to my wife, who was pretending to be the quarterback (I had her put on my #10 jersey to make this more realistic.) The baby just laid there on the floor saying "da da" and such, much as I suspect Graham will be saying once he meets Boren in the trenches. I pancaked her anyhow, seeing as she had the gall to allow me to put that jersey on her.

Eff *ichigan.

You might get away with burning your kids in effigy, but children's services will be all over you for that uniform stunt.
