The Victors Drinking Thread
Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan
The leaders and best!
Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
The champions of the West!
Now that The Victors is (rightfully) stuck in your head, how happy is everyone that Purdue got crushed tonight? What's the drinking schedule look like for during game, post-game, pre-Ohio and beyond? Just have to mention that I'm sad my alma mater couldn't topple MSU earlier.
Anyway, what's everyone drinking? I'm having some cheap coffee liquor mixed with coffee and some flavored creamers. It sounds odd to say, but the only thing that could cap this day off is Ohio beating Nebraska.
Since the original thread has served its purpose, I'll just say this should be a full-on drinking thread. I've been having alcoholic coffee all night, I'm now switching to some wine (Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc) followed by cheap champagne to celebrate the girlfriend's fall ball performance and the Wolverine's clinic in West Lafayette. What about you, MGoPosters?

of our obilteration of Purwho. I hope for a Husker victory vs Overrated State tonight. GO BLUE.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:18 PM ^
But completely understandable, since losses by our division rivals benefit us.
Although if Ohio is going to lose, I hope they get blown out.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:27 PM ^
I will root for Ohio against anyone in the division, no matter what the circumstances are. I'd rather mathematically win in October, but that's just me.
*I was raised to believe that Cooper was the perfect coach in Columbus, and I have a hard time disputing that. "#1 Ohio State falls to Michigan" sounds incredible, no matter the number in front of our team.
October 6th, 2012 at 8:54 PM ^
We all need to put our hatred aside and realize that losses of Legends division teams to Leaders division teams is pure gold for Michigan.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:31 PM ^
(I couldn't help it), but then reminded myself after the play result that a loss for Leaders-member MSU was more beneficial for Mich.
This Leaders/Legends divisions thing is making me schizophrenic.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:32 PM ^
See!!!
I even double post!
October 6th, 2012 at 7:34 PM ^
What are Legends and Leaders? Michigan is the Champions of the West and they play in the West division, easy enough. FTR State is also in the West division.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:22 PM ^
Feeling pretty good about our defense right now.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:23 PM ^
October 6th, 2012 at 8:42 PM ^
It is when they beat MSU or Nebraska thereby making it easier for us to go to win the conference and go to the rose bowl
October 6th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
October 7th, 2012 at 12:06 AM ^
but when we go to the Rose Bowl and OSU sits at home watching us, I'll call that a net win
October 6th, 2012 at 7:25 PM ^
I feel young and headstrong again! Glorious victory over the Boilers and fresh humiliation for the learned talking heads of the TV set. The protected IU-State rivalry is really heating up. I look forward to more exciting matches between these two storied programs.
LSU is toast, but can still spoil Alabama's season. For tonight, Go Mountaineers, Fightin' Pryors, Bulldogs, Convicts.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:33 PM ^
i hope derrick green watched the game today to see he would have a great chance at coming in and playing some next year.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:34 PM ^
I find it easier to just say "I'm routing for Nebraska to loose". Imagine trying to explain to your Dad why it's good for Nebraska to loose when playing Ohio. I will say his response (argument) beat mine... "If we win all our damn games it don't matter who wins this game, so I want Nebraska to win!"
October 6th, 2012 at 8:03 PM ^
October 6th, 2012 at 8:22 PM ^
Funny part is its annoys me too. No excuses, should have proofed it before saving.

How do you correct that and not correct the "routing?" I root for Michigan to win.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:35 PM ^
Also, we really need to get Rawls more carries
October 6th, 2012 at 7:42 PM ^
Think about every Nebraska fan you've ever met. And then think about every OSU fan you've ever met.
Go Huskers.

Who cares about that. I need to know which of the uniform threads I'm suppose to complain in.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:52 PM ^
I would post in this thread if you're drinking heavily to celebreate the win and looking for some more fun tonight with Nebraska/Ohio, the "snowflake thread" if you have some totally unique thought that the internet just couldn't do without (you're the last person that comes to mind with that description) or the "evening game thread" if you're into talking about the 2.992 games on the various channels tonight.
Whatever your choice, cheers M-Wolverine, and Go Blue!

Is Denard's hand/wrist ok? That's the only thing that matters right now in my drunk head.
October 6th, 2012 at 7:51 PM ^
Even though it would benefit us, I would much rather see Nebraska win. The sooner Ohio's perfect season is busted up the better as far as I'm concerned.

Michigan did what Michigan wanted to do...
It was refreshing to see US dictating on both sides of the ball rather than reacting. I've felt all year we've been adjusting too much rather than playing our game.
I think Borges called this game PERFECTLY. And this comes from someone who was sick after the ND game because the play calling was so damn bad. On the road Borges has to have a little more Lloyd Carr in him - stick to your guns...fuck the cute shit. He did just that.
Safe passes to keep the chains moving and get Denard in rhythm, variations in the running game to keep the other team off balance. On the road, just get first downs...don't worry about anything else. Actually, just stay "ahead" of the down and distance. THAT is when we're most effective.
Borges did that ALL day, in fact, I don't know if we were in too many "and long" situations that didn't have to do with a penalty.
Along those same lines, Mattison called a BEAUTIFUL game, he had those guys ready for every screen, every slant. It looked like we had 12 guys on the field at times. Rarely were we outnumbered on the edge...very good performance by the defense.
I do wish we could've gotten Fitz more room, we've got to work on some designed run plays (rather than zone-reads) that get him going. I thought Rawls should've played MUCH earlier, but if the coaches were trying to get Fitz the ball --- I can live with that, no question. In the future though, Rawls needs to get the ball more often (Norfleet too).
It wasn't perfect, but it was Michigan Football. We did exactly what we needed to do, there shouldn't be ANY complaining after this win.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Fat Tire.
October 6th, 2012 at 9:27 PM ^
got stuck in the Denver Airport once after a skiing trip...we got ripped on Fat Tire in the airport. Never cheap to get drunk in the airport!
October 6th, 2012 at 8:51 PM ^
Couldn't be happier with the outcome, though. We needed it.
October 6th, 2012 at 8:52 PM ^
I'm having what Clint's having...
October 6th, 2012 at 9:00 PM ^
October 6th, 2012 at 9:08 PM ^
At the last count, I am about a dozen Strongbow Cider bottles into this night...great win today, and forever and always, GO BLUE!
October 6th, 2012 at 9:45 PM ^
A dozen...nice work! Since I'm a poor grad student I'm working on the last few High Life's in my dozen.

Lagunitas IPA. That game reminded me of last year's Illinois game. Gotta love our coaching staff and Gardner to reciever position.
October 6th, 2012 at 9:19 PM ^
October 6th, 2012 at 9:20 PM ^
Oskar Blues Gubna Imperial IPA to start. We'll see where the night takes me, but what a great victory today!
October 6th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
Go Blue!
