This Sports Post Might Make You Hurl (You Have Been Warned)
There’s an interesting side effect to the fact that Michigan got their asses kicked again this weekend and are now 0-2 at home for the first time in four decades: while Michigan’s players have yet to fight any winning battle this year, Michigan’s fans have beaten their livers into oblivion.
There are several bars in New York where Michigan football fans congregate during college football season, including some poor, suffering fellow bloggers. The mood at these bars has been, at the very least, dire. One bartender in Murray Hill told me that they had to cut off a lot of fans about a half-hour after Michigan’s loss to Appalachian State because they were just drinking too much - they had to ease the pain somehow. At another bar in the East Village, the owners moved their bouncer from the front door to the men’s room during the game, because the Michigan fans there were just getting too drunk.
Well, some of these bars’ efforts were fruitless. Just an hour or so after the bar had cleared out from the Michigan game this weekend, I found a surprise in every urinal and bathroom stall. I’ll admit, I was drunk at the time, and I have no idea why I deemed it necessary to document this in photographs, but I did. What follows after the jump is an absolutely disgusting photograph that is not for the squeamish. But in addition to being stomach-turning, I needed to post this, because the picture truly symbolizes Michigan’s season so far.
I warned you that the picture is disgusting. And I’ve gone so far as to make it a thumbnail in case you refused to heed my warning. Click on the thumbnail and you can see if for yourself. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
NOTE: By clicking on this photograph, you agree that East Village Idiot is not responsible for any ill effects caused by the viewing of the picture, including, but not limited to, cleanup and disinfecting of the viewer’s desk, dry cleaning bills, medical expenses incurred, and future psychological damage.
There you have it. Michigan’s Football season, summed up in one picture: one stomach-turning pile of puke slowly going down the drain.

Megan says:Actually, Michigan went 0-2 in 1998 and then bounced back to share the Big 10 title.

Megan says:Sorry to be “that commenter”
Stick to baseball, and leave the football talk to those of us who went to real schools. Hey oh!

Maple says:Megan, he said they “are now 0-2 at home.” That wasn’t the case in ‘98. Learn your stats!
Stick to watching football instead of talking about it!
Hey oh! Or should I say, O-H?
