Growing up in Michigan, I can tell you that the typical discourse between a Wolverines supporter amoxicillin without prescription and an Ohio State Buckeye fan is usually some of the nastiest stuff you’ve ever heard.

Simply put, the maize and blue guys hate the scarlet gray guys and vice versa. And judging by the insults levied back and forth, both fan bases come from mothers of questionable repute.

So, what can be done to raise the dialog between these two warring factions?

Why, introduce a giant ad for whiskey making fun of the other.
An obscenely large billboard is now residing on a Columbus-area building (that’s literally as specific as I can pin down) encouraging Buckeye fans to raise their booze-soaked glasses to that hated team to the north and their recent struggles.

The ad reads:

“Here’s to football season.

Especially Michigan’s”

It’s obviously intended to be a burn against the Wolverines who went 3-9 under first-year coach Rich Rodriguez in 2008, but I just don’t fully understand what the dig is.

Is it implying the only way to suffer the indignation of being a Michigan is to drown your sorrows in delicious whiskey every evening before looking longingly at a framed picture of Bo Schembechler? Is implying Buckeye fans’ greatest happiness in life is rounds of shots raised in celebration of UM’s misery? Both?
