  2. First Downs: Every time Michigan achieves a first down, take a sip. Celebrating small victories keeps the energy high.

  3. Touchdown Triumphs: When Michigan scores a touchdown, everyone finishes their drink and does a cheer. Add to the excitement with a high-five or a chant.

  4. Interceptions and Fumbles: If Michigan forces a turnover, the last person to react has to take an extra sip. This keeps everyone on their toes!

  5. Field Goals: For every successful field goal, take two sips. Missed attempts? Console yourself with just one sip.

  6. Penalty Plays: If Michigan gets penalized, everyone takes a sip. It’s a moment to grumble in unity.

  7. Halftime Challenge: During halftime, challenge friends to a trivia contest about Michigan football history. The loser takes a big gulp.
