9/12/09 Should Immediately Be Declared A National Holiday

Submitted by psychomatt on
Dear President Obama: I hereby submit that this day, September 12, 2009, should now and forever be celebrated as a national holiday of this great country. In support of my proposal, I submit that on this day: (a) Michigan won while all three of its rivals -- OSU, ND and MSU -- lost; (b) Not only did Michigan's rivals all lose, but they fought valiantly and thought that they would prevail only to have their hopes crushed at the very last moment; (c) By defeating ND, Michigan eliminated ND from any possible consideration for the BCS national championship game, eliminated its ostrich-faced leader from consideration for the Heisman and probably assured that its coach would be deemed a miserable failure and fired; and (d) Two of the rivals lost on their home fields while the third did something even better -- it lost at the hands of Michigan in the Big House where we all could personally bathe in its misery and torment its fans.

WOOO WOOOO! Well stated point by point, sir! Indeed, it is a glorious day. The last minute loss while expecting victory part was particularly insightful. I can't recall a day quite like this. Go Blue! Footnote: do ya'll consider Minnesota a rival too, or not? (I always thought of Minny as a rival b/c of the Little Brown Jug even though we dominate the series).
