Meta: Hello: LSAClassOf2000 (MGoPoints prize inside)
Doing my best Ace impression, I'd like to welcome the first commit for the Moderator Class of 2013, long-time user and well known board statistician, LSAClassOf2000. A prolific diarist with seemingly endless uses for tables, graphs and charts of all kinds, LSA comes highly touted by three of the four services, the lone outlier, ESPN, incorrectly projected him to defensive tackle. MGoBoard is believed to be his only offer, although uncommitable offers were reported from select scarlet and grey sites.
In all seriousness, I'm excited to work with LSA and believe MGoBoard picked up a valuable addition. With Trey Burke Trey Burke'ing Sparty last night, it's been a good couple days on the site, and this is an opportunity to share any cool stories about the game, the impending postseason, anything else sports related or just generally anything cool, fun or unique. If MGoPoints are your thing, LSA will be using his newfound functionality to adjust a user's points upward an undetermined amount for an undetermined reason, so get creative if you're interested.
Congrats, LSAClassof2000, and good luck keeping this rabble in line!
rumor has it that LSA and Justin are the same person, just, you know, left side of the brain, right side thing. watch 'em. they're real nice, well-spoken, hardly ever a typo, but you ever notice that they don't post at the same second? yep, proof positivie. you heard it here first....
or maybe they're brothers. i don' know, just watch them. they (he'll) slip up and bingo - busted by the board.
*finding no trophy, holds up the nearest thing to him - a Paulaner Hefeweizen*
"I'm going to Disneyworld...later this year, because if I left now, without the kids, I would not be allowed back in the house."
I guess after dealing with a whole state full of assholes whining about their electricity for a day job, it should be pretty easy to deal with a site full of assholes whining about their MGoPoints.
I personally thought he was going to pick a different hat
I'm not afraid. I'm bigger than him. I think I can take him.
As long as he doesn't hit my face. :(
If you're really a mod why aren't I in Bolivia yet?
I have just eaten a super-spicy ghost pepper in honor of your elevation to mod status.
(Technically, it was just a jalapeno, not a ghost pepper. And to be perectly honest, another reason I ate it was to kind of give my carne asada some kick. But it's all good).
Congrats LSA. Posbang for everybody!
Dear lord, the bronies are taking over. The apocalypse is nigh. Sure, it's a really cute apocalypse, filled with sparkles and giggles and inside jokes that most three year old girls wouldn't get, but an apocalypse nonetheless.
Did LSA commit because of Shane Morris' recruiting prowess? I didn't realize it extended to the MGoBoard!!
Because he just wanted a free t-shirt.
Mods get t-shirts, right?
Congrats LSA. I don't really know how this will change the board, but I do look forward to more of your statistical analysis in the future. It really adds something unique and sophisticated to the blog that you can't find elsewhere.
Would like to extend a congratulations to LSU, have always enjoyed your diaries. Is there any specific duties you are undertaking? Any specific contributions you plan to do regularly?
Congratulations on your promotion LSA. I feel more comfortable posting here knowing that you are on staff.
Congrats man! I knew putting cat pictures to liven up your posts would really take you places.
This thread needs more charts... Only one in 13 pages of messages..
and Congrats LSA! Good job!
I have enjoyed his graphical magic. One can only re-read The Mathlete's post only so much.
Congratulations and good luck!
Having attended both games(in Breslin and Crisler) I thought I would share my experiences.
First that which I dont want to admit. There were a lot more spartans in Crisler than wolverines in Breslin. Can't say as I blame those of you that abstained...who really wants to spend time in Lansing if they dont have to? And during the course of the game...Breslin was louder. Crisler started rocking in the end, but the old argument stands...If you're only going to make noise AFTER something good has happened, you aren't likely to see a lot of good things*climbs off of soapbox*
On with the highlights: he who laughs last...
And words just cannot express everything Michigan basketball has going for it. Just look at Crisler. A two story waterfall,
giant touchscreens where you can play freaking kinect basketball(I kid you not),
displays for the '97 National Championship and the Heisman Trophy...You walk into Breslin, and this is what you see...
Dingy cracked cement and cinderblock...the place looks like a fallout shelter built in the 80's.
Then we got to our actual seats...
Nice eh? Do you like the silver and green pompoms? Because those are their colors...wait...aren't they gold and green? I'll get back to you on that. As for the Heisman trophy...yeah, you're never going to see that in East Lansing. At any rate, if you're looking at basketball from an "arms race" perspective...MSU had better sink some money into their program...and soon.
Seems like a lot of good content getting lost. I find it amazing how state of the art Breslin in it's short life already looks like it's in old Crisler condition. Man, they have done the up keep on that place. (And was that the student section with benches?).
I found it funny it took me a minute to see the waterfall to the side of the pic; I was thinking...all that rain and snow, was it pouring down the escalators...?
Best of luck keeping this crew in line.
Congrats on becoming a new mod!
