College football is a fleeting mistress, appearing only for a few short weeks in the Fall, and disappearing by the Holidays. For a true fan, this is especially heartbreaking, since it seems that every other sport on Earth enjoys a much longer season. Baseball stretches from Spring, through Summer, and right into October; the NFL airs games prior to the beginning of its college counterpart, and ends in February; and hockey, when not on strike, appears to play year round (someone want to verify that?).
These conditions make for some frenzied fandom. And so, as the 2009 football season approaches for The University of Michigan Wolverines, we find it hopelessly appropriate to begin celebrating said fandom by battling what we've come to call "The Longest Month". As August grinds slowly away, join us in our quest to ensure a good season for the Wolverines by growing what can only be described as an affront to
good taste, feminism, and classically trained porn stars: THE MICHIGAN MUSTACHE.Call us old school, but we
believe nothing shows people you mean business like growing a mustache in support of a cause. Every week, we'll post updated photos, culminating with a group shot of our staches on September 5th. And hopefully, along the way, we'll include photos of you, Dear Readers, who have taken up this noble cause along with us. Simply send a photo to mustaches4michigan@gmail.com.
Phase one of Mustaching for Michigan grows towards success. Week one photos herein:
This is glorious. Consider me down. How do I send in a photo?
