As a Michigan, MSU, and Detroit Lion fan, I have had to eat my share of crow. However, I have never seen it done quite like that!

I would also recommend a generous serving of "Humble Pie"! This recipe comes from the "Journal of the American Revolution" web site. The recipe is based on one from found in Elizabeth Smith's 1739 cookbook.

In the United States, to “eat humble pie” means to apologize for one’s actions. But humble pie is also an actual dish that you can eat. Its origins are, appropriately, humble. Although there are fancy recipes, humble pie began as a medieval European dish consisting of the scraps of the master’s food baked into a pie. “Humble” began as the Middle French word “nomble,” meaning “scrap.”

Humble Pie
Preheat the oven to 425° F (220° C).  Blend together with your hands:
3 lbs (1.5 kg) ground beef, 20% or greater fat content
5 green apples, peeled, cored and sliced thin
1/2 c (125 ml) fresh spinach, rinsed
Head of romaine lettuce, shredded
6 c (225 ml) plain breadcrumbs
1 1/2 lb (250 g) raisins or dried currants
1/2 cup (125 ml) apricot preserves
1 tbsp (15 ml) parsley
1 tsp (5 ml) thyme
1 tsp (5 ml) mace, ground
1 tsp (5 ml) nutmeg, grated
2 tsp (10 ml) cinnamon, ground
3 egg yolks
2 tbsp (30 ml) cream sherry
4 tsp (20 ml) orange blossom water

Originally, a humble pie would be housed in an elaborate crust of very stiff pastry, baked without the assistance of a pie plate of any sort.  However, we’ll take the easier path of simply lining a large casserole dish with a double recipe of a standard pie crust, and then placing the meat mixture into it.  Roll out a lid and cut decorative vent holes into it.

Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° F (175° C) and bake for another hour and a half.

While the pie bakes, prepare the caudle (below).  When you remove the pie from the oven, either pour the caudle through the vent holes and tilt it to spread it, or remove the top crust entirely and pour the caudle over it.  Serve hot.

Caudle
Whisk together in a saucepan:
1 cup (225 ml) cream sherry
1 cup (225 ml) white table wine
1 tbsp (15 ml) balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar

Bring to a boil, and then remove from heat.  In a glass bowl or measuring cup, beat until frothy:
2 eggs

Whisking constantly, slowly add about half of the hot wine to the egg mixture, until well-blended, and then slowly pour the egg mixture back into the remaining hot wine, continuing to whisk constantly.

Sounds good, much better than the OP's option.

Proves the old saying "On any given day----". Maybe all football games should last 2 hours.  Then the better teams would have more time to reveal their true skills.

The real reason for the unpredictable results is that a football is not round, sometimes it bounces your way and sometimes it doesn't.

Darn! If we had just known that ahead of time, we could have corrected that.
