Win Will Cause Me To/Loss Will Cause Me To Wisconsin Edition
Back for another week of "Win Will Cause Me To/Loss Will Cause Me to." This should be a good week due to the stakes of the game and overall mood of the fanbase. A win and 7-0 going into EL is a real possibility and a loss and the BPONE makes its not so triumphant return.
My leadoff:
Win will cause me to: Start making the run at the football Lucy is holding
Loss will cause me to: Hello BPONE my old friend
Wall of Fame:
Our new wall of fame member is The Darker Blue due to his honesty about bowel movements and well Michigan seemed to follow suit with one of their own in the 2nd half. Congrats to The Darker Blue you may collect your free internet points.
Washington Winner:
Win will cause me to: Have a nice big pour of Basil Hayden, open all the windows, and blast the fight song.
Loss will cause me to: Shut off all the lights, still a big pour of Basil Hayden, and then probably wont leave the house for a week or so.
NIU Winner:
Win will cause me to: get irrationally excited about a less daunting B1G schedule than anticipated
Loss will cause me to: look under the bed for Rocky Lombardi
Rutgers Winner:
Win: I'll take a big steamy dump
Loss: same as a win but it will be in my pants

Win will cause me to believe we're going 12–0.
Loss will cause me to believe we're going 11–1.
Go Blue!

Fuck BPONE and all the negative Asinine Pessimists on this blog!
We are going to kick the living shit out of Wisconsin tomorrow!
Go Blue!!!
October 1st, 2021 at 8:45 PM ^
The idea that this blog is full of pessimists is a tired trope. Most of us are optimists; even most of the ones posting honestly about various issues. But we can be both hopeful about the future and realistic about what probably needs to improve to get there.

Did you actually read the comments/vitrol last weekend? The level of negative horseshit after a bad 2nd Half was sad and truly pathetic.
If you can't have fun and enjoy this team this year - you need another hobby. Period.
Go Blue!!!

Truthfully it’s hard to hope after you’ve been kicked in the balls consistently for ten plus years.
What made me love Michigan football were the zany comebacks. We weren’t the best but we could pretty much play with anyone (who didn’t run a spread offense). And honestly you never knew what they would do (ex - Lloyd’s last game v urban). Sure we wasted talent and won one 1/2 championship and yea app st (I saw it first hand), but we had a chance.
I get why people are pissed, they miss the hope. That late game magic, beating someone you shouldn’t. For the past decade it’s been a perpetual week 4 (if we are lucky) mirage. I want to feel again and I know I’m not alone.

Harbaugh, excluding last year, had an extremely similar track record to Loyd Carr era Michigan post 2000. Last year was Rich Rod bad, but if that was just a weird COVID blip, we can go back to being good enough to enjoy most Saturdays. If that was a trend, then ya, that sucks. But if you didn’t feel more hopeful in 2015-2019 than you did in 2008-2014, that is on you and you alone.
October 2nd, 2021 at 12:12 AM ^
Bullshit.
Look no further than last weekend.
It's not a tired trope at all, it's the honest truth.
We won and last weekend felt like a loss due to all the negativity. Even the Washington win left people crying for more passing instead of enjoying a P5 win, under the lights, on the biggest recruiting weekend of the year, and on national TV.
If we win a low scoring game...people will be better than last weekend, but the snowflakes about McNamara will be a blizzard.

Cade has been rough to be fair. I do appreciate that he has a long ball, but his accuracy is a fair concern.
Especially when you have a 5star with a gun sitting on the bench. Whether or not he’s ready or not.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:43 PM ^
Win will cause me to change my preseason prediction to 10-2 from 9-3.
Loss will cause me to do nothing. I had this game pegged as a loss from the jump.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:47 PM ^
For once - you will be proven wrong, MGrowOld...
This one going in the Win column, baby!
Go Blue!!!
October 2nd, 2021 at 5:51 AM ^
I hope so Mike!
October 1st, 2021 at 9:46 PM ^
Pun intended or not?
October 1st, 2021 at 8:49 PM ^
Win: I will eat my cheese curds and New Glarus Spotted Cow in joyous victory.
Loss: I will go back to Velveeta and Natural Light.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:49 PM ^
Win will cause me to: just believe this is a shitty Wisconsin team
Loss will cause me to: wait for the next opportunity for this team to drop a game we should win.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:51 PM ^
Win will cause me to come to the mgoblog message board and start all kinds of threads laughing at the haters for being wrong
Loss will cause me to go back through UMxWolverines post history and upvote everything he had ever said about Harbaugh
October 1st, 2021 at 9:59 PM ^
This showing is gonna be the nail in the coffin for him. It’s going to be ugly tomorrow.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:55 PM ^
Win: Make room for some friends on the bandwagon.
Loss: Light bandwagon on fire, rig it with dynamite, and drive it off a cliff.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:56 PM ^
Win will cause me to: feel no different than I do now because Wisconsin is trash.
Loss will cause me to: feel much worse than I do now because Wisconsin is trash.
October 1st, 2021 at 8:57 PM ^
Win: have some hope that we are actually decent.
Loss: Fire Harbaugh
October 1st, 2021 at 9:31 PM ^
Wait, thadmattasgoblin is Warde Manuel?
October 1st, 2021 at 8:58 PM ^
Win will cause me to: pick out Hail to the Victors on the piano for my one-year-old for an hour after the game in hopes of getting her to absorb it/like it.
Loss will cause me to: take her and the dogs to the dog park and pretend I'm a mature enough adult not to have my whole mood changed by the actions of 18-22-year-olds. And drink after everyone else goes to bed.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:09 PM ^
A win will cause joyous drinking of bourbon.
A loss will bring me money on my emotional hedge.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:11 PM ^

October 1st, 2021 at 9:16 PM ^

Loss: It stays at 7 - 5
October 1st, 2021 at 9:26 PM ^
Win: I’ll eat cheese
Loss: It’s Frumundah
October 1st, 2021 at 9:45 PM ^
OMG, now this is hilarious!
October 1st, 2021 at 9:26 PM ^
Win - Will be a reminder that hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
Loss - Will be a reminder that BPONE is a funny thing. First you hate it. Then you get used to it. Enough time passes, it gets so you depend on it. That’s institutionalized.
October 1st, 2021 at 9:31 PM ^
Win = Damn it, this is how it’s supposed to be! YES!
Loss = Damn it, this is how it is.... Fuck the World
Then go couch fry hunting with Barry Sanders
October 1st, 2021 at 9:33 PM ^
A win will cause me to: become rather excited as we would be doing something that we don't seem to do that often lately, which is get road wins against teams like, oh, Wisconsin.
A loss will cause me to:
October 1st, 2021 at 9:33 PM ^
Win will cause me to: Take off my adult Depends, cut two holes on each side and put it on my head as I walk into church the next morning to get baptized.
LFG!!!!
ROLL TIDE…!!!
October 1st, 2021 at 9:34 PM ^
Win: Cautious optimism
Loss: You know what's a great sport? Hockey.
October 1st, 2021 at 11:04 PM ^
Anddddd basketball
October 1st, 2021 at 9:37 PM ^
I just hope both teams have fun
October 1st, 2021 at 11:30 PM ^
They could not keep score and go to the playground after the game!
October 2nd, 2021 at 5:25 AM ^
I’ll bring lunchables!
October 1st, 2021 at 9:42 PM ^
Win will cause me to ejaculate hands free
loss will cause me to go back to not watching another game sober
October 1st, 2021 at 9:50 PM ^
Win will cause me to: Wish I would've taken the over on the season win total
Loss will cause me to: Fire up FlightAware
October 1st, 2021 at 9:57 PM ^
A win will cause me to pump my fist, and drink a beer.
A loss will cause me to shrug, and drink a beer
Pro tip: the players are in their late teens or early twenties (except for Wisconsin's defensive secondary) playing under closer public scrutiny than any of us will face in our entire lives. Who the hell know how any of them will play?!
October 1st, 2021 at 10:01 PM ^
Loss will cause me to: Drink and start grading papers.
Win will cause me to: Drink and start grading papers. But I'll be a tad bit happier.
October 1st, 2021 at 10:03 PM ^
Win will cause me to: be surprised
Loss will cause me to: not be surprised
October 1st, 2021 at 10:05 PM ^
Win will cause me to affirm that Wisconsin is not good, but allow me to be a bit more optimistic that a 10-2 season is possible.
Loss will cause me to affirm Wisconsin is not good, but force me to be a bit more pessimistic that a 7-5 season is possible.
October 1st, 2021 at 10:09 PM ^
Win will cause me to up vote OP on Nua appreciation
Loss will cause me to down vote OP on Nua appreciation thread
October 1st, 2021 at 10:21 PM ^
Win will cause me to believe this team is different.
A loss will cause me to believe this team is the same as the last 7.
October 1st, 2021 at 10:35 PM ^
A win will cause us to have nice things, and cause me to celebrate, spend lots of time on MgoBlog and watch a lot more football this weekend, and start looking forward to the Nebraska game tomorrow night.
A loss will cause me to be sad for half of Saturday, spend some time on MgoBlog and some time reflecting on my priorities, watch less football this weekend, and start looking forward to Nebraska game Monday or Tuesday.
October 1st, 2021 at 11:14 PM ^
Hah! Love this
October 1st, 2021 at 10:36 PM ^
Win: take back all the mean things I’ve said about the coach with respect to the Rutgers gameplan
Loss: rip my soul into seven pieces and having those seven piece latch onto 7 random objects so I can liver forever in pain and agony
October 1st, 2021 at 10:43 PM ^
Win will cause me to...start believing that maybe the program is finally starting to turn the corner on offense. Because winning will most likely mean that we actually started utilizing our skill position players, threw the ball successfully, and finally opened up the playbook, necessitated by the literally best run defense in all of college football right now.
Loss will cause me to...confirm all of my suspicions that this is the same ol' Harbaugh & Co. and nothing has changed nor ever will change as long as Harbaugh is here. Because after 7 years, there's little reason to believe the future will be any different than the past.
October 2nd, 2021 at 12:09 AM ^
I disagree. Wisconsin's strength is it's defense. I'm not sure something like a 13-10 win is going to make you feel good about the offense.
...but I'll take it.
October 2nd, 2021 at 7:20 AM ^
Don't know if the win means offense was better. If we get turnovers, I can see us going into shell at the half.
