What would you sacrifice to the football Gods for a win over OSU this year?
I was doing some thinking about just how happy everyone would be with a simple win over Ohio State this year. We would get 3-4 additional high level recruits, and in general I believe it would set our program on the right path permanently. Like last year, a win in that game has the ability to "right the ship" more than any other single game from any team in an entire NCAA football season.
What would you give up in order to see us emerge victorious this season? A Pinky? A Toe? One of your testicles? Surely some of the diehard fans on here would be willing to give up quite a bit.

Fuck, OK no more Starbucks. The ultimate sacrifice. But this better f-ing work.
November 10th, 2019 at 8:00 PM ^
Nothing, since a division title won't come with it. Any other dipshit questions?
November 10th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
Division title or not, I bet it would fix your terrible demeanor :)
November 10th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
I would sacrifice Heywood Jablome.
That fuckhead isn't worth the shit he excretes. . .
November 11th, 2019 at 12:53 AM ^
Fuck winning, I’d sacrifice him just to score 14 points against them
November 10th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
Nothing. In general, we have top 5 academic programs across the board and they have top 125 programs. So a few football games doesn't mean much. I just wish we could get a call here or there or at least not get screwed by events. Life is good. We treat their fans better than they treat our fans. Oh yeah, and about all the other varsity and club sports . . .
SPACE BITCHES, SPACE and Frost, McCracken, Jones, Ford, Prahalad, Munger, White, and those two games where Ty Law allowed Joey Galloway just one catch and David Boston acts like he did something when Woodson slips on the mud, and Biakabatuka goes off, or an OSU alum poaches Michigan's QB to the Yankees. Nope, all they got is a winning streak in one sport. I'm good.

A bottle of George T Stagg.
November 10th, 2019 at 8:09 PM ^
All of you
November 10th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
My left one.
I may have only 10 - 12 more chances to see that red shilt enter The Big House.
It would be nice to see a few more victories over them before I can't walk down the stairs.
November 10th, 2019 at 8:14 PM ^
I would take up smoking and quit ....
November 10th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
At the beginning of the year, I said I'd accept an IU loss for the OSU win... but now, I just want them to win out.

What sacrifices would propiciate the football gods?
Let's see. What's associated with Football....pigskins!
I'll forswear Hush Puppies shoes to save pigskins for footballs instead of footwear.
And eat more ribs, pulled pork and bacon. 'Cause that would help produce more pigskins.

Sorry but I would definitely NOT give up a win over MSU. OSU has been a historic rival but only in the last decade or so has MSU been like the little yip yapper dog who distracts us from OSU in general. On top of that you’ve got Dantonio, their incredibly obnoxious and overbearing fan base who thinks their on the level of M or OSU and then the corruption of the whole MSU athletic and even hierarchy.
Please Harbaugh... if there ever was a game - have your team ready to destroy MSU on Saturday!

I would give up my prized assortment of coolers to the OSU fan base for them to desecrate as only they can do.
November 10th, 2019 at 9:16 PM ^
Nothing , its just a game .
Life is way more important.
We had our run, the pendulum will swing back our way soon enough .
November 10th, 2019 at 11:40 PM ^
This is something I have told myself on numerous occasions, but what would it take to swing the pendulum back in Michigan's direction? I don't see Michigan doing any better than they're doing right now with recruiting, and it doesn't seem like the Buckeyes have really missed a beat this year with Ryan Day at the helm. So what needs to happen? Some sort of major program infraction?
November 10th, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^

November 10th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Hmmmm? If i make the sacrifice we're GUARANTEED to win right?
Does anybody really NEED two testicles?
November 10th, 2019 at 9:36 PM ^
Three pounds of bacon and various canned goods from my pantry.
November 10th, 2019 at 9:37 PM ^
Can I save my sacrifice for a year when beating them would put us in Indy?
November 10th, 2019 at 9:44 PM ^
Ah, to beat ND, MSU and OSU in the same year would make me sacrifice about 75000 sperm. Granted, at my age they have poor motility and are misshapen. But a sacrifice nonetheless.
November 10th, 2019 at 11:33 PM ^
I bet you have sacrificed far more than 75000 sperm to the good women of Porhub this week alone. I mean that's nothing other than an ordinary, moderately productive morning for Maizen.

Would you give osu a national championship this year for a win in the game? In theory if osu beats penn st they would go to big 10 championship game and if they won would likely still go to playoffs
November 10th, 2019 at 11:01 PM ^
Yes. Because you know deep down inside all they care about is beating Michigan. And to not have that win makes their (hypothetical) national championship much less sweet.
November 10th, 2019 at 11:07 PM ^
Yes - 11 Warriors asked this very question - NC or win The Game - seemed like 80% would take The Game over a NC for the reason you mentioned
November 10th, 2019 at 11:42 PM ^
Yes I would. And I wouldn’t think twice about it. Because they’re likely winning it all anyway.
November 10th, 2019 at 10:21 PM ^
I don’t know but I’ll be there this year, hopefully we don’t get pounded
November 10th, 2019 at 11:31 PM ^
I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. You can't sacrifice anything to help Michigan win. You can watch and enjoy when they win, suffer when they lose, and then move on with your life.
November 10th, 2019 at 11:40 PM ^
Talked to my brother about this earlier. As long as it wasn’t a compound fracture. I’d more than happily have someone break my arm if it guaranteed a win.
But I’m pretty sure that even if I did this, Michigan would still find a way to lose. Because if there are football gods, they pleasure themselves to watching Michigan fuck it up.

Not a fucking thing. They owe us, big time.
Think of how many times we've been kicked in the junk compared to how many "gifts" we've received from them.
I say, "Fuck you, Jobu. I do it myself."
November 11th, 2019 at 2:45 AM ^
I would give half my dork but still be in great shape!
November 11th, 2019 at 3:23 AM ^
I would give up a Michigan 2019 win vs. Wisconsin, make it a blowout, and throw in a 2019 loss at Penn State; and -- as perhaps the dearest sacrifice of all -- I'd add in the Michigan fan base, at last for a portion of the season, totally disgracing itself with embarrassing amounts of self pity, weakness of character, defeatism, and appalling posts about some of the fine kids who work their asses off on the team and about coach Harbaugh.
I'll sacrifice all of that -- and it is a lot -- if Wolverine football beats Ohio State in 2019.
November 11th, 2019 at 8:24 AM ^
I'd give up a week of PTO
November 11th, 2019 at 8:53 AM ^
If the hypothetical is would I sacrifice something in the form of an achievement that is meaningful if I were somehow guaranteed Mich would beat OSU in football this year, say a b-ball final four, a hockey title, or ....? I would not do it because the win would be fabulous and make me very happy but this season it would not lead to a championship. Now if you posed this in 2006, I would give up a lot- the basketball final 4, the hockey title and more.
November 11th, 2019 at 9:20 AM ^
No sacrifice required....it is all setting up to be a similar replay to 50 years ago. OSU beat the snot out of us the year before, they had a supposedly “unbeatable” team, Michigan had two losses, the parallels are getting a bit eerie....?
November 11th, 2019 at 12:56 PM ^
Yup...this is exactly the kind of year M beats us.
I suffer from PTMS induced by Copper and football history in general.
November 11th, 2019 at 10:49 AM ^
I’d give a testicle before a finger or toe (I use those more). Maybe I could learn to flip a page, or separate trash bags with a testicle and give the finger up idk.
November 11th, 2019 at 12:58 PM ^
I would gladly sacrifice a hobo to make it happen. Or your firstborn. Whichever has the better chance of working.
