Not OT(!?) - Anybody watch Golf Channel tonight?
How could watching the Chevron Tiger Woods Target World Challenge presented by Northwestern Mutual on the Golf Channel have any relation to Michigan football? Talking about Iowa native Zach Johnson, Frank Nobilo mentioned that he had been to see Iowa play football "in the Big House." "It wasn't close," Nobilo said. "I've never been in a 120,000-seat stadium..."
So who was the lucky MGoBlogger who hosted Frank Nobilo on senior day at Michigan Stadium? Was it golf fan and frequent sponsor Al Glick and Alro Steel?
Update: Not Al Glick! Alro Steel has better seats than the top rows of Section 39. But obviously Frank Nobilo has some good friends in Michigan. Picture in his Twitter feed:

and I will invite you to the Notre Dame game, and I'll provide the tailgate and an open bar. You don't even have to bring Kate if she's busy (but we think she's a fan, right?). Bring two Kate Upton lookalikes, and we'll be good.

Will two cardboard cutouts do? I can get those just a bit easier than her or lookalikes. Although, there are a lot of good looking girls down here in NC . . .

What in the fuck are you talking about? Who is Frank Nobilo? Who is Iowa native what's-his-face? Why should any of us care if the former was talking about the Big House? Why should anyone think he was hosted by anybody, much less by somebody with an account on MGoBlog? Why should anyone think that, if he was hosted, he was hosted by Al Glick? Are you trying to intimate that you know that Al Glick is on MGoBlog? It took you over an hour after your complaint here to make your first explanatory comment on the Al Glick connection, and that was only to say you had "no particular reason" for bringing him up.
Your threads appeared to be evolving from RR slurping to self-important musings about who shook whose hand and nouveau riche, name-dropping soliloquies about who hosted whom. If you want to call the backlash personal, go ahead. But, just for the record, you didn't make it even two-and-a-half hours after this very post before slurping RR in another thread, so I guess you still aren't ready to move on.
In sum, if you want to post threads about stuff like this, explain why it's interesting, or at least what the fuck you're talking about, and there will be many fewer complaints. If you just want to drop the names of golfers and their hangers-on, expect to get called on how pompous it all is.

All you had to do was answer the questions and point out that I'm the one using uppity, played out French terms while calling you pompous and you were home free, man.
Can't help those who won't help themselves, can you, old boy?

I've met him but once; he wouldn't know me now if I told him. I was merely being playful, in wondering if an MGoBlogger had hosted him. I only guessed about Al Glick because Glick really did have a serious interest in golf, including sponsorships on tour. It is actually quite interesting for anybody who was in Section 39 (or wherever Nobilo took his Twitter picture) or who was at the Iowa game and saw a guy who looked exactly like Frank Nobilo... It was Frank Nobilo.
For the fanboyz who don't know who Frank Nobilo or Zach Johnson are; you might want to get out more.
And again, if it had been someone other than me who wrote the exact same words, I have no doubt that this thread would have been entirely different.

AFAIC, anytime the Big House and Michigan football get free publicity in a positive way, it's great for the team and the school. Frank Nobilo is "one of the good guys," which definitely makes his mentioning the Big House a positive event.
