The one thing I can never seem to understand about Michigan fans is how they take pride in being such complete wankers. It’s almost as if they want to be known to the world as absolute twits.
While the readers of the M-Zone debate the finer qualities of University of Michigan elitism, Double Duce has uncovered this great moment in Michigan fan history.
What follows is nothing more than a shear act of rebellion. Notice the unbridled passion that ensues as the Buckeye flag slowly catches fire. At one point, if you look closely, the guy in the yellow shirt even begins to reach for his keys, threatening to shake them in that horrifying, yet ever so refined, “We need a Key Play” cheer. Thankfully, restraint and decorum take over and he gains control of himself.
Parents, you may want to take your children from the room before viewing:
Wow. If that wasn’t powerful. At one point, I thought they were going to pull out a magnifying glass and attempt to light the flag with it.
I don’t know what is more pathetic, the fact that after pouring an entire bottle of lighter fluid on the flag, they can’t keep it lit or that they don’t even have the cojones to actually wave the burning flag
More pathetic still is the fact that they thought that this was such an incredible moment (the burning of an Ohio State flag in a quiet alley, garden hose at the ready, where they couldn’t possibly get in any sort of trouble for doing it) that they needed to not only film it but to edit it and upload it to YouTube to brag about their accomplishment.
Did you notice the somewhat large Star Wars figure? Oh yeah, and the Captain from Star Trek was guest band director at the Ball State game.
I rest my case

The key-shake is one of the most heinous displays of nerdism going. I apologize that so many of you have had to witness it.
You may be interested in this earlier post. Let’s just say the key thing never caught on in the Shoe when I was a student.
