Surely it should be Go Blueberry...

But that would require too much effort on their part. They'd have to be creative and come up with a special name for every school. They don't have the time for that. Why go the extra mile when you can just follow the lazy formula "(School cheer) Strawberry"?

Genius!
August 20th, 2012 at 7:14 PM ^
who read this as someone labeling the school as a bunch of pop tarts.
DAMN YOU POP EVILLLLLLL

I was thinking PNC Bank Presents: Go Blueberry PopEvilTarts: Arby's Edition. Seems to flow better.

The important take away from this is that you follow Darren Rovell.
August 20th, 2012 at 7:23 PM ^
Well, it looks like we have something in common then, don't we?
August 20th, 2012 at 7:29 PM ^
No, his name is at the top of that page. Can't stand that guy.
August 20th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
Truthfully, I can't stand the guy eaither. But I do enjoy the random stats and numbers he throws out there on twitter.

If they come out with a MSU Pop Tart, it will only come in two flavors: burning couch and trash tornado.

August 20th, 2012 at 10:15 PM ^

August 20th, 2012 at 7:18 PM ^
Will go right next to my Michigan Wheaties box on my shelf
August 20th, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
I have that box too! Mine's in a sealed plexiglass case and I always wonder if there's actually Wheaties in there...
August 20th, 2012 at 8:45 PM ^
mine will be between my wheaties and gatorade
August 21st, 2012 at 6:27 AM ^
Gatorade is sweet! When was that available?
August 20th, 2012 at 7:37 PM ^
Only if they come with a free Denard Robinson.
August 20th, 2012 at 7:40 PM ^
But strawberry? How dare you,
That junk should be blue.
August 20th, 2012 at 7:41 PM ^
August 20th, 2012 at 7:55 PM ^
tremendous.
August 20th, 2012 at 8:02 PM ^
So when the players do their "eating" celebration will the one of them pull out a pop tart?
August 20th, 2012 at 8:13 PM ^
August 20th, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
1. Slap an "M" on it.
2. Double cost.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!
Er, wait, step 3 is unneeded.

I want to say that, back in the 2007-08 timeframe, Kellogg's actually offered large boxes of logo-emblazoned Pop Tarts (16 to a box, as I recall) of various teams, Michigan included. However, I think the flavor offered then was brown sugar cinnamon. I may have misremembered, of course.
It's hard for me to get over the strawberry filling for a Michigan pop tart, especially because blueberry happens to be my favorite flavor regardless. I would likely buy a box for the novelty anyway, I must admit. I did note that North Carolina will be "Tar Heel Berry", which doesn't sound terribly appetizing, much like North Carolina football.
August 21st, 2012 at 3:21 AM ^
Got to side with cherry or WildBerry on this one.

When those "special edition" Wheaties came out, I was having lunch one day in West Quad, and they had a table by the door stacked to the ceiling with the boxes. Picked one up, put it on my shelf in my apartment, and realized at move-out time that I could have eaten the damn things instead of looking at that ugly-ass box all year. By then, they were stale and disgusting, and the box was still cheesy and ugly. So out they went.
People, these things aren't collectibles. They're food. Not prized keepsakes.

so are the Michigan chocolate bars I just made s'mores with... yum.
