Strength and Hono[u]r?

Michigan Football is Warcraft? (c) mvictors.com

Strength and Honour?  Interesting slogan.  It got me thinking about warcraft, because the goat people [Ed.: Tauren] in the game are always saying “strength and honor.”  Michigan football, especially 2008, is a lot like Warcraft, in that:

  • people living in Mom’s basement, with no other life are really into it.
  • fans universally mocked by people with real lives (or successful teams), but don’t give a shit.
  • guild (Big 10) was lame (2008)
  • last season was definitely an Alliance kind of year, because we usually got stomped*, even by seemingly lesser level opponents.  Sounds liek a typical day on the battleground
  • Fucking n00bs.  Rewatch the 2008 offense, and see if that doesn’t come to mind.
  • Our epic warrior gear (unbreakable traditions, ginormous stadium, fancy hats, ghost of Bo) was of absolutely no use in weekly raids, especially against epic bosses (yes, I know we played sweatervest mccheaterpants the undead on the road.  See also 2002-2007)

*what would you call losing to Toledo?  In a non-off year, we should have beat them by 70, so losing by any margin must have been an epic asskicking
