What would you give for a National Title
Now that UM has seemingly found its way out of the wilderness with back to back B1G titles and wins over OSU and this seemingly being Harbaugh's best and most complete team on paper, the hype train seems to be in full gear - With some even saying National Title or bust.
While these may be the expectations at schools like OSU, UGA, and Bama - it's been a long while since UM was amongst the elite and I can't lie - I'm feeling quite excited but also pensive about it.
Our last National Title was 1997 as we all know. So my Friday question...what do you hold dear that you would give for a CFB Championship?
I'd give up both pinky toes - I figure I can learn to walk just fine without them.
August 11th, 2023 at 8:46 PM ^
Both nuts, they don't get used much these days so I guess not a huge sacrifice other than you know....being able to talk about em all the time
August 11th, 2023 at 8:47 PM ^
That's funny. I was just thinking I would also give both of your nuts.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
Get permission from the wife first. Possession being 9/10ths of the law.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:21 PM ^
I would give up my first born! Also, I have no children.
August 12th, 2023 at 12:07 AM ^
Are you sure about that?
Maybe check out Ancestry.com.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:48 PM ^
Both? Wait, you only have TWO nuts?
August 12th, 2023 at 12:11 AM ^
I have a buddy who said he had three nuts for a short period of time. He got kicked in the balls during a fight and it split one right in two. Most painful thing he ever experienced.
He had surgery and they put it back together and gave him a 95% probability that it was good to go. Although you only really need one working. He has three kids.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:57 AM ^
Both? Wait, you only have two nuts?
He's been that way since January 2, 1998.

I’m planning on getting a vasectomy soon so this is literally me 😂
August 12th, 2023 at 9:24 AM ^
You need to check the definition of either "vasectomy" or "literally."
Or I'm concerned about the quality of your urologist.
August 12th, 2023 at 2:31 AM ^
Patient walks into his psychiatrists office covered in plastic wrap.
"Doctor something is wrong with me cant you see that?"
Doctor-
"Well I can clearly see your nuts"
August 11th, 2023 at 8:53 PM ^
I would pry suck a dick
August 12th, 2023 at 12:12 AM ^
Do you look like your avatar?
August 12th, 2023 at 12:02 PM ^
OP said “”give up” not “most desire” aka what Dennis does before breakfast on Tuesday.
August 12th, 2023 at 3:44 PM ^
I'm not a homosexual but I do admonish you for the homophobic tone.
Some people like sucking dongs and you might actually like it if you could get out of your own bigotry.
August 13th, 2023 at 11:08 AM ^
Dennis.
After indicating that you felt like it was best to leave the board, you've obviously decided to stick around. Okay. You have negative many points, which is an indication of some issues with some of your posts.
Perhaps you might benefit from a bit of advice I got many years ago from a great professor: if you want to avoid arguments and controversy in various settings, there are three topics you should avoid broaching. Politics. Religion. Sex.
Please consider taking that advice. Think about what you are about to type (its subject matter) and whether or not it introduces one of those three elements?
Thank you.

I’d trade a loss to OSU in ‘24 for that.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:27 PM ^
I would not.
Call me old fashioned, but beating OSU and humbling their fans is far more important to my day to day quality of life.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:49 PM ^
I don't care if we are the 2011 NY Giants and suck our way in with losses to both OSU and MSU; If we win the Championship you bet your ass I'm going to load up on winning gear and strut in front of both their fanbases. Winning cures all, just win baby!
August 11th, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
I like to imagine that Michigan wins the National Championship 5 years in a row with total domination in years 1,3, and 5. In year two, we beat OSU on the way with a half dozen controversial calls and in year 4 we back into the playoffs with a loss to OSU just to really grind their begonias,
August 12th, 2023 at 7:20 AM ^
We lose in year 4 because we're pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot and rest our starters against OSU.
August 11th, 2023 at 11:41 PM ^
I’m almost (ALMOST) glad we lost to MSU on our way to winning the conference for the first time in 17 years because you know it eats them alive seeing us win it all after beating us.
August 12th, 2023 at 2:32 AM ^
Imagine what it did to the replay official.
August 12th, 2023 at 11:22 AM ^
Wichitan, it wouldn't surprise you to know that I have many Sparty friends who consider their 2021 season to have been more successful than Michigan's...since they won the "rivalry" game.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:25 PM ^
Never!
August 11th, 2023 at 8:59 PM ^
Any of the classics: first born child, sell my soul, left nut.
That said, the only one on this list that's consequential is my left nut because I am childless and sterile and I don't believe in souls.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:02 PM ^
I'm so sorry
August 11th, 2023 at 9:12 PM ^
As a long-time Red Sox fan, I applaud your comment.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:54 PM ^
I could have sworn that that commercial advertisement ended with a surgical team wearing surgical masks walking into the room.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:53 PM ^
Similar to Bo Schemheckler's response, I am sorry. I felt a little sad at that response.
I also found it somewhat exhilarating. What exactly is in these gummies?
Oh, souls, man, souls! Get on board with the souls!
August 11th, 2023 at 9:04 PM ^
I would give up cigars and drinking, the next day, naturally
August 11th, 2023 at 10:09 PM ^
I'd give up cigars. Or rather I'd start smoking them and THEN stop.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:08 PM ^
Left testicle
August 12th, 2023 at 11:47 PM ^
Why is no one ever willing to give their right nut? It’s always the left.
so I would give my right nut.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:13 PM ^
I would give up nothing. I want the guys to earn it due to their hard work and perseverance.
We'll ALL appreciate the Natty more for that. Besides, the phantom pain you'll experience of not having your pinky toes will haunt you for the rest of your life.August 11th, 2023 at 9:14 PM ^
My children. If I have any.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:16 PM ^
My left two lug nuts.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:55 PM ^
Wing nuts, big, big wing nuts.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:20 PM ^
A box of Klondike bars.

To be honest, beating OSU means more to me (I spent some of my childhood in Ohio and screw those guys), and the B1G matters next. Those are the things that matter to me every day, and the things the team can really control. The CFP would definitely be wonderful to win, but I don't know how much MORE happy it would make me compared to the last 2 OSU games. Those were both peak fan experiences for me.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:59 PM ^
As an ex-Ohio resident of 24 years (1995-2019), I wholeheartedly agree. Beating OSU is the cake, winning the B1G is the icing, beating MSU is the cherry on top, a CFP win would be like the ice cream scoop, and a CFP Championship would be the hot fudge on top. I’m sure extra stuff would be great, but it’s wholly unnecessary.
August 12th, 2023 at 12:09 PM ^
Who puts hot fudge on AFTER the cherry?
I get “cherry on top” but I don’t think “fudge on top” as far as sayings go, is a thing.
August 12th, 2023 at 12:40 PM ^
But hot fudge on a sundae is a glorious thing! It should be an expression if it isn't.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
I’ve switched up everything this year for it. Went from Nike to pfg columbia. Which is bad ass btw. Bought brooks (almost Michigan colors) started mowing my yard from east to west. Also started carrying my phone in left pocket instead of my right. At my age and families history of health issues, this could be it lol.
August 12th, 2023 at 3:20 PM ^
The George Costanza Method!
August 11th, 2023 at 9:47 PM ^
Let's just worry about the B10 season first and staying relatively injury free.
August 11th, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
I would eat some 🍋 LEMONS!!!
August 11th, 2023 at 10:00 PM ^
Deez nuts
August 11th, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
I'm perfectly happy with a win over OSU.
August 11th, 2023 at 10:03 PM ^
I’d give up Michigan football. Wait, hear me out. If they won an NC it would likely be the last for 30+ years (‘47, ‘97, ‘23, ?? maybe 2060???) and I’d either be long dead by then or the game will be glorified flag football, so who cares? I’d take the win and never watch another game…
