Vine of the day
If you’ve been following Bottlegate, you probably know that we have an affinity for the Mount Union football team. Yours truly went there for about 8 years (4 1/2). And EVERY year that I was there we played Wisconsin-Whitewater in the Stagg Bowl (’07-’11)
And you know what? I’ve conditioned myself to hate that school. Hate everything about them really. Don’t like the name “Warhawks,” don’t like the state of Wisconsin, and especially don’t like that they have an enrollment of 12,500 and are playing in Division III.
10 years in a row Mount has been in the championship game. A decade of dominance. That’s nothing short of incredible.
When you’re a student at Mount Union there’s kind of this attitude of “Ho hum Mount is in the Stagg Bowl again. Yawn…. So, when is everyone going to Chives?” But once you’ve been away from the school for awhile and get a little older you realize that’s a big fucking deal. It is unheard of to be that superior for that long.
I don’t care what other people tell you, Whitewater IS Mount Union’s rival. Two teams meeting 9 out of the past 10 years in the title game? Yep. Rivalry.
It’s healthy for a college football rivalry to have some hate sprinkled in. I don’t think there’s enough of that from either side here. So, Mount Union students and alumni, let’s hate Wisconsin Whitewater for the next week/month/year, OK?
We’ve decided to add a little spice to this game and came up with the “Breathe if you hate Whitewater” shirts. No, it’s not a novel idea (UNC-Duke, OSU-Michigan, Auburn-Alabama all have them) but what’s a rival/championship game without a little trash talking?
We’ve got T-shirts, hoodies, long sleeved shirts, crewnecks. Go check it out and get ready for Friday’s Stagg Bowl.
FYI- IF you’re going down to the Stagg Bowl, you HAVE TO buy them quickly and you’ll have to get premium or overnight shipping. There. You’ve been warned.
What do you say we go get #12 on Friday?

Also again huge S/O to Zack from Center Field Smoke. He kills it for us time and time again. If you’re a Cleveland or Pittsburgh fan go check out his site, I’m positive you’ll find something you like.

SHELLY!!! Come on! You know Urban has a lot on his mind having to prepare for Nick Saban’s ugly mug for their January 1st playoff game. You can’t go pulling a Michael Jackson and setting your head ablaze three weeks before the big game. It’s been well documented that Urban and stress don’t mix. The last thing he needs is getting that phone call saying his wife’s hair looks like Chicago in October of 1871.
Hot take (literally hot) time:
– The only thing more on fire than Shelley’s hair is Ohio State’s offense
– It’s no coincidence that her hair caught on fire while Ohio State is gearing up to play Nick Saban; the Lord of the Underworld
– If Billy Cundiff was there he’d be able to put it out (because he blows so much, get it?)
– If Shelley is Katniss the “Girl on Fire,” does that make Urban Meyer Peeta or Gale?
– I’m sure if she would’ve gotten injured Urban would have been just fine with his second and third string wives
Now excuse me while I go watch the Ohio State CFB Playoff hype video on repeat
