Are you looking to piss off Bama fans?

I have a few friends who are Alabama fans, and a few others who are Texas fans. So it's fun to sit back and watch them chirp at each other.

It's also fun to see which group of fans can out-do the other.

This T-shirt, which you can have for just $15 is a nice jab at the Tide fans. However, what I have learned about Bama's faithful ... don't mess with Bear Bryant.

Waiting now to see what Alabama's response will be.

I'd buy this shirt

OK, this is a little old, but it's still funny.

There's one thing the 'Eye and the 'Eer agree on ... ACC football is over-rated. Following last weekend's embarrassing dismantling by the SEC, this T-shirt should be for sale.

Here is an additional option depending on who wins the ACC Championship game Saturday:

Georgia Tech: First in the ACC, Second in the State.
It works for Clemson also.

Begging and pleading at the Big House

As a youngster in the late 1970s and early 1980s there were a few teams that personified college football. Programs like Alabama, Penn State, Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio State, USC, Notre Dame and Michigan.

You could argue most of these are still among the elite today. However, Michigan is officially off that list now. It started with the hiring of RichRod, but now there is this year's Michigan-Big House Pledge T-shirt (click on image to see a larger version).

Big-time programs don't need fans to sign an honor code or declare they will attend home games in good times or bad, for richer or poorer. Following a 3-9 debacle in RichRod's first year and my oh my how things have changed in Ann Arbor.

Here is what the shirt says:

THE BIG HOUSE PLEDGE
I pledge to make my way to the Big House every football Saturday
to cheer on my Maize and Blue as they take the
field in the name of Michigan. I will join the
chorus of Wolverine faithful as they hail the Victors.
I promise to give everything I have to the Maize and Blue and I
will dig deep for something extra when the team needs me most
I will bring it all four quarters and I won't stop until the clock
reads all zeroes. I will do all of this because I am
ALL IN FOR MICHIGAN

Since when do the fans need a pep talk? When you know you're going to suck again. Any Michigan fan wearing this shirt should be booted from the Big House. I'm actually embarrassed for Michigan right now.

Maybe I'll get a few for my Ohio State friends so they can replace these shirts.

Christmas shopping ideas

If you're just not sure what to buy the children this holiday season, or maybe you have that uncle who has everything. Well, we have the perfect solution to your problem. That's right, buy them their very own "An 'Eye and an 'Eer" coffee mug or T-shirt.

It's easy and affordable. Just go to www.cafepress.com/eyeandeer.

Happy shopping!

Syracuse school spirit

Syracuse fans have an interesting way of showing school spirit these days. Three students have created "Greg Robinson Farewell Tour" T-shirts that they are selling before games. Where do I get mine?
