MIDI - UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN FIGHT SONG - Hail to the Victors
In our campaign bus we've come to say help's on the way
We stole that line from Cheney but it's ours today
I have a strategy
Bush had lied, Bush had lied, Bush had lied
I am a mega sports fan
Next year I'll tell you my plan
My wife likes Wendy's french fries
Fight on, Buckeyes
I'm just a normal person
Warning how things could worsen
If you don't vote for me, then you'll get Hillary
Blocking Dummy(Kerry Fumbles Ohio Football,Also JF'nK Revives Busing for attendance)

LOST FUMBLER If John Kerry loses Michigan, he will probably blame it on his joke writers, then Woody Hayes and the mighty Ohio State Buckeyes. But he only has himself to blame. He should have used that several-decade gap between his job in Vietnam and his job of running for president boning up on his knowledge of sports. The Prowler has documented several examples thus far, and over weekend Kerry really goofed up.
To get his Ohio rallies up and rolling, Kerry used a set of jokes to open his events. In Bowling Green, his shtick went something like this:
"If you elect me and my running mate, John Edwards, we are going to give you the courageous leadership you need. We'll take the tough positions, the courageous positions, the tough stands. But there's one tough position I will not take: I am not going to choose between the Falcons and the Rockets" -- this is a local reference to the well-known rivalry between Bowling Green University and the University of Toledo.
"I will say this," he added. "There is nothing better than Buckeye football, period!" Kerry used this set piece several times in Ohio, to great effect, never mind the waffling with the generality of "Buckeye" football. Was he talking Ohio State University specifically? Or just football in the state in general? Only Kerry knows. But then Kerry dug a huge hole for himself. On Sunday and into Monday, Kerry hit Michigan, where he attempted to use the same Ohio jokes. Clearly, the sports humor has to be taken out of his hands before he really embarrasses himself.
Ohioans may be "Buckeyes" but "Buckeye football" is one word, for one team. And if those folks in the M-word had any balls they'd have taken him down. Let's see him mention Wolverine football on his next jaunt to Columbus.
"I just came here from Bowling Green," Kerry told the crowd to subdued applause. "I was smart enough not to pick a choice between the Falcons and the, well, you know, all those other teams out there. I just go for Buckeye football, that's where I'm coming from."
At that point, before all the boos began raining down upon him, Kerry seemed to realize his error. In an attempt to silent the angry crowd of University of Michigan supporters, Kerry said, "But that was while I was in Ohio. I know I'm in the state of Michigan and you got a great big M and a powerhouse of a team." Then his face, presumably, the Botox permitting, turned Big Blue.
Screw UofM and Kerry.
Ann Arbor is a leftist, hippie town, through and through. They INVITED that scumbag to speak his trash and lies and he paid them back appropriately.
Stepping on his foreskin has become a daily ritual, hasn't it??
"I was for the Buckeyes before I realized I was for the Wolverines. It was the Wendy's chili that caused my error."
Jerk.
Which made it all the more fun to be a conservative at U-M during the Reagan years, especially as we tore down a lot of the left's sacred cows and put conservatives in charge of the student government.
By the 50th time I was getting sick of it.
By the 100th time I was singing obscene lyrics to the song at the top of my lungs, and no one heard me at all. This was just as well.
To hell with the victors,
And to hell with the losers,
And to hell with Michigan.
I hate this f***ing song!
I can't listen to "The Victors" anymore.
My sister lives there now (I'm from Plymouth). She got her MBA from UofM. Funny how she's not so "tolerant" of the vagrants and illegals when they're walking outside her $800,000 home. Hmmmmm...
LOL!
Just so you know it stops at Ann Arbor city limits. I live less than 10 miles away in one of the most conservative townships in the country.
Michigan fight song ping!

As long as they keep south of Whitmore Lake), I'll be happy.
Kerry can flip flop on many issues in his political life, but he just discovered one can never ever be a Buckeye and Wolverine at the same time. Go Bucks!!
Were you at Michigan in the 80s?
I was! 1978 to 1983!
Yep. All the college employees and other socialists. The areas north of AA are a little expensive for those on handouts.
