Thou shalt not yell “down in front.” If you’re not healthy enough to stand, there is pleny of handicapped seating (ask michigan (sucks!)) If you don’t want to stand, sell your ticket to a fan and watch from home, NBC offers incredible unobstructed views.

2a. When referring to the university, michigan should never be capitalized. As in, with props to the ongoings in Denver:
William Ayres – michigan(sucks)man.

Knute,
I’m glad you liked that one. It might be my favorite line in this post.

pablo, we get it. 100%. but we’ve never claimed to be anything but 3rd graders (MQ claims maturity of a 5th grader, but i dispute that whole-heartedly) with some good numbers to back us up.

and, just so you know, saying Michigan (sucks!) sucks isn’t just related to on-field results. it’s just a general acknowledgement that everything Michigan (sucks!) does, in fact, suck. 38-nil (what is this, “futbol”?), nil-38, 21-20 or 20-21, Michigan sucks regardless.

love the list and all u do here at HLS, but i’ve always thought the “Michigan (sucks!)” thing is too drawn out and way too 3rd grade. it sounds even worse after they’ve beaten us 38-nil.

i’m gonna stick with subway’s “skunkbears” and the newly discovered “meat chicken” … sure they make no sense, but damned if they aren’t catchy.

Trey,

As with any dogma, there are always tricky questions that can be asked. At that point, it’s time to look to an authority for interpretation.

So does the Michigan (sucks) apply to all forms of degrading nomenclature for the school? I prefer using scUM for them, so do I have to use scUM (sucks) now?
