Bring on the Goodt Luck!

LUCKY FOOD!!!

We need to bring some good luck to the Michigan Football team as they head to Wi$con$in this weekend to test their grit at “Camp Randall $tadium”. That’s why we are going to take these lucky foods and put a spin on them to make them more Crosschips approved.

Questions from CrosschipsBT:

“Why come Michigan need luck?” Well, because they are one win away from being bowl eligible and have lost 5 of their last 6 games. Wi$con$in is also ranked 20^th and rarely loses games at home. Since 2005 Wi$con$in is 29-3 at Camp Randall. This place can get loud and their fans are quite peculiar. Here are a couple of their regular activates that could be a part of their home field success:

“Is it because of their “Jump Around” tradition?:

“where fans dance to the House of Pain song of the same name. This takes place between the third and fourth quarters.” - wiki

Or maybe it’s because of their kind fanbase?:

“Badger fans perform a call-and-response chant before kickoffs; however, theirs is much more vulgar than many others. Normally, the east half of the stadium taunts the west side by yelling "Eat shit!" while the west side replies with "Fuck you!" - wiki

I’m sure Michigan felt rattled at M$U, Iowa and maybe a little at Illinois, but they should be ready for what the Cheese heads bring to the table. Michigan needs this win badly and must not be rattled by lame songs and chants. If they can’t get it here, they have to get it done at home against Ohio State who happens to be in the running for the Big Ten Championship (OMG NO WAY).

“Can MICH do win game this weekend?” Of course, BT. Iowa beat them at home and we’ve all seen that Iowa isn’t the greatest team every made. In the last few years, Wi$con$in has had close home games with weak teams which proves anyone has a shot.

• Northern Illinois 28-20, 2009
• Cal Poly 36-35 OT, 2008
• The Citadel 45-31. 2006 (I know 14 isn’t soooo close, but it’s Citadel.)

“Prediction of score also FINAL OUTCOME?”

Now Michigan’s odds are not great. They are a 9 point dog and their main RB is injured AGAIN (Minor). But I think if the defense steps up like it has been SUPPOSED to and the offense keeps the momentum going from the Purdue game (36pts), all 80,321 red and white pajama wearing cheese heads will see their team lose another one at home. I’m gonna go ahead and say with our help by eating the below lucky food items, MICH WILL BE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIN’ IT!!!!!!!!!! MICH 27 – Wiscy 24

(Eat/drink the CROSSCHIPS ones)

(1)  Blackeyed Peas:  A tradition in the American South, where many people believe "Eat poor on New Year's; eat fat the rest of the year." Normally served cooked with ham hocks, seasonings, onion and garlic in a dish called "Hoppin John."

CROSSCHIPS: Black Tacos: First of all, I hate the Blackeyed Peas, they have ruined sporting events since the Pistons 2004 title run. First with “Let’s get it started (in here)” and now “I’ve got a feeling (woo hoo)” Just cut it out FERGIE!

(2)  Cabbage:  the leaves represent paper currency and it features the color of money. Anyone for a whopping big bowl of cole slaw?

CROSSCHIPS: CHIPS: Potato chips are delicious, you call them chips, you use chips at a casino to gamble, chips at a casino are worth cash, BOOM CURRENCY.

(3)  Grapes:  Many Cubans believe that eating a dozen grapes as the clock strikes midnight and the New Year is ushered in brings prosperity in the months ahead.

CROSSCHIPS: BOOZE: Grapes are made into Wine, wine is booze, therefore drink any booze you like.

(4)  Lentils: Take a tip from the Italians and serve pork sausage cooked over a bed of lentils in a dish called "Cotechino" - the fat from the pork represents richness yet to come and the beans symbolize the plenty ahead.

CROSSCHIPS: PORK & BEANS: That’s what I read in what it says above. Pork = richness, beans equal constant flow of cash money. Doooooooin’ it!

(5)  Noodles:  The longer the better, according to many Buddhists, as long noodles represent longevity and overall prosperity.

CROSSCHIPS: SPAGHETTI: First of all. “The longer the better” ^^^ That’s what she said! Heyyyyooo! But yes, eat some spaghetti for MICH!

(6) Apple rings: actually, any foods in the shape of a ring (bell pepper rings, onion rings) are considered good luck because they symbolize coming full circle.

CROSSCHIPS: ONION RINGS / Donuts . Simple enough.

(7)  Greens:  any vegetable in the "greens" category including kale and spinach are considered lucky foods because both their color and leaf shape represents paper currency.

CROSSCHIPS: Mountain Dew: I couldn’t think of any Crosschips approved food that is green. If you have any ideas, please email me! But this can be mixed with vodka, which is encouraged.

Do it up CROSSCHIPPERS!  ENJOY AND GO BLUE!!!!!!!!

Keep that Crosschips meal safe babby!

Whenever Crosschipping outdoors, please use the following.

Don’t worry about protecting yourself from infectious bug bites, keep your food bug free with the net food protector thingy.  Available on Crosschips! (May not be sold at Crosschips)

For Friday: Have yourself 3.46 square feet of Pizza.  Because who doesn’t like PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAA??????

MIIIIIIIIIICH!!!!

MICH is now 4 – 2 after losing at M$U and Iowa the past 2 weekends and the season is halfway over.  Both games were thrilling, down to the wire, grit packed performances where they ended up losing by a combined 8 points (one game in OT).  Winning both games would have been great, splitting the two would have been fantastic, but to bring both games down to the wire is worth more than 2 dull wins or losses under a tremendous coach by the name of Lloyd Jonathan Carr. 

Finishing with a 8-4 record is very possible and it would be a great turn around for this program.  Any more than 7 wins would be far beyond my expectations for this year.  This team is competitive, passionate and a fun as hell to watch and I’m excited to see them dominate the next six Saturdays.

This team get’s me so pumped up in fact that I am beginning to see Crosschips during the games!  check it out:

 GO BLUE!!!

SLAP CHOP!

Crosschips your troubles away with the slap CHAP!

Buy One, Get Wha?

“The BOGO”

Here at Crosschips we demand the highest quality in belly busting food portions that contain not only the highest amount of FAT but also good TASTE. We also know that with a struggling economy, we can’t all be as fortunate to afford 10 or more lobster tails to complete a Crosschips triple double. With that in mind, let’s take a gander at a penny saving feature in Crosschips and in life, known as the ever so gorgeous BOGO.

If you’ve lived under a rock your whole life, BOGO stands for “Buy One, Get One”. For quite some time now it’s been very common sales tactic among the not so popular eateries and grocery stores to gain more business. Because let’s be serious, who is going to order a Pizza from a liquor store on 8 mile and Gratiot unless you get a second one free?

Now, because of our current economic hardships, some of us feel that we may not have a job tomorrow which has caused our desire to stop in at TGIF’s for a buffalo burger to decline drastically. Even when we know we may have a chance at seeing that spiky, bleached haired idiot who does their commercials so we can roundhouse kick his fat face, we still stay home, eat Ramen noodles and save $12.



Here is a list of BOGO’s in which you can fulfill your Crosschips routine and save yourself some cash.
