ENDORSEMENT DEALS OF THE RECENTLY DEAD HIT YOUR TAILGATE
Reader Jason sends us further evidence of the robots coming for us any day now: Bo Merlot, coming to your tailgate whether you like it or not. (Click for larger image.)
The ads for Howard Schnellenberger’s Fortifying Rum for Gentlemen will be simpler: just a scorch mark on on the ground and a hole where a chump used to be. You’ll know it’s a Schnellenberger’s Fortifying Rum for Gentlemen ad from one sign: the smell of sex and Old Spice in the air.

Stop being so redundant, Orson.

I’m sure Tressel’s going to launch Steven Threet’s career of loses by smashing a bottle of this swill over Threet’s helmet.

Sheridan, not Threet, will be the starter for the Utah game. Whether that is the case when Michigan “rolls” into Columbus is obviously yet to be determined. 48 hours and counting . . .

The obvious question is: What serious college football fan drinks Merlot at a tailgate?

HMLS
The key jangling crowd in Ann Arbor, where else. They will have pinkies raised while sipping Bo swill looking haughty and tell you of their superiority over their Big Ten brethren and that they are the greatest all-time. Watch how empty their hole-in-the-ground stadium is after halftime this year.

Did anyone pour a 40 of this shit on Bo’s grave yet?

Does this mean that Paul Giamatti is an Ohio State fan?

Sgt. Barwis's Beatdown Brigade says:
As red wine is apparently good for the heart, it’s safe to say merlot was not Bo’s drink of choice.
I think he used to drink cups full of nails and shit girders, or something.
Like Mike Barwis.

I’m so ready for the season to start and for actual tailgating that this wine would be welcomed where I’m drinkin’…..even if it didn’t come out of a box.

Bo for 24 says:
A better promotion would have been for BOtox – not merlot – providing pre-game tailgate injections to adoring fans who proudly parade their puckered-up sphincters in remembrance of that original a**hole.

Isn’t “the smell of sex and Old Spice in the air” fairly redundant?

tSEC owns tOSU says:
I think they just advertised the Merlot to keep the drunktards from Ohio Sucks U from crashing the party and raping the nearby woodland creatures.
If it was moonshine, Mad Dog or horse urine you couldn’t keep those pighumpers away.

Really? That’s the best you can do? +2 for a decent word, -679 for no logical connotation whatsoever.

So glad Bo(vine) finally got a “W” (wine) out of California. We all know how rare that is.
