Cheers:

Running Michigan off the Field.  Twice.  As much as we all love a good shutout, a “game-ending” Irish pick-six is even more satisfying.  It seems Michigan was so ready to heed our serenade of “Nanana Goodbye” and get off the field that they had to be induced to leave their locker room and come back out for the last play of the game.

Alma Mater.  Rumor has it, though I hope we never have to test the theory, that our Fighting Irish Football Team has reversed its ruling on the singing of the Alma Mater.  Apparently Notre Dame is still Our Mother even if we lose.

Activities Night.  Every Club email you will ever receive.

Hey guys,

This is (insert name) from (insert club name).  We’re so glad that you signed up for (the thirtieth club you wrote your email down for)!!!!!!!!  Don’t forget to bring your $15 to our next meeting (that you’ll probably never come to)!  I hope I see you there!

Peace,

Very Excited, Probably Over-Caffeinated, Club President

P.S. You’ll be receiving these emails until you graduate because you’ll never take the time to get your name off the listserv.

 

Jeers:

Anti-Michiganism.  We’ve all probably smiled a little at our own wit while saying a popular slogan with the first letters interchanged.  However, as our own #10 Max Redfield knows quite well, there’s a fine line between friendly competition and just plain unsportsmanlike conduct.

That guy at the game.  Puke on me once, shame on you.  Puke on me twice…I really should have moved very far away after the first time.  At least we won.

Not so Silly Sylly Week. Not to dredge up week-old grievances, but did anyone else notice the remarkable lack of in-class syllabus reading during the first week of class?  Apparently most professors missed the proverbial memo.  For some reason they wanted us to read the whole thing byourselvesand do something called “homework.”
