I went to the UM v. MSU football game in East Lansing this weekend. Michigan beat a tough and determined Spartan team, 28-24.<\/p>\n
The patrons in front of me were true heathens. They were loud, obnoxious, and, well, they attacked me. They did not like that I was wearing a Michigan sweatshirt and shouting, \u201cGo Blue,\u201d in between chants of, \u201cGo White\u201d and \u201cGo Green.\u201d Nonetheless, I persisted with the fight song during touchdowns and clapping for Michigan. I wouldn\u2019t have been so annoying had there been more Michigan fans in my area.<\/p>\n
When UM scored it\u2019s winning touchdown the TV camera was on me. I was on the scoreboard. I unzipped my jacket and held up the \u201cMichigan\u201d on my sweatshirt in front of the camera to show the stadium, at which point the large man in front of me with no sideburns and only slightly more intelligence grabbed the front of my sweatshirt. He assaulted me. Like I can\u2019t celebrate.<\/p>\n
The game was close, which is what I wanted. That\u2019s always more exciting. Mallet, UM\u2019s freshman quarterback, did an awesome job fumbling on the only play he played. And Hart did a more awesome job recovering the fumble for a first down. That\u2019s the kind of stuff that happens when you win against a good team.<\/p>\n
Go Blue.<\/p>\n
\u2026 which reminds me\u2026 it was pointed out to me several times that there is no response to, \u201cGo Blue.\u201d If someone says it to you in passing, the only logical response is \u201cGo Blue.\u201d Saying, \u201cGo Maize,\u201d doesn\u2019t really role off the tongue. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
