I got quite the email yesterday from the man behind this website: Yes, that is mustachesformichigan.com, and yes, I wish I had thought of the idea first. How could I not get behind this? Here is the mission of the website:

As testament to true loyalty, we are growing Mustaches for Michigan’s football season. Why mustaches? You don’t think we know how we’ll look with a mustache? That’s the point. Our dedication is thusly fortified, we will look like douche bags and date-rapists (and Silver Lake dwellers) for our team. Will you? Email us a photo of your mustache and we’ll post it: mustaches4michigan@gmail.com

I know a challenge of my manhood when I hear it, and I’m here to answer the call. Phase One, according to the website, is to grow out a beard during the month of August. Let the record stand that I am currently clean-shaven:

The beard (and requisite mustache) will start growing in from this moment forward, until either I am sporting a magnificent lip sweater or I get fired from my job. Join the movement at Mustaches for Michigan, and make sure to become a fan on Facebook as well.

Women, don’t feel left out: have you even considered a finger-stache? Talk about a simple and easy way to show your support.
