TWIS is up....we made the title
November 13th, 2013 at 9:46 AM ^
Making TWIS each week is like... our biggest claim to fame these days.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:06 AM ^
November 13th, 2013 at 12:39 PM ^
Given that Brian himself compiles TWIS, it's a little unfair for us to be claiming any records. We're like the coach's son getting to play quarterback.
November 13th, 2013 at 9:48 AM ^
that someone can stay employed after doing such a piss-poor job...must be nice to keep getting paid $800,000 while doing the absolute shittiest job you can possibly do!
November 13th, 2013 at 9:53 AM ^
November 13th, 2013 at 9:57 AM ^
Fire Hoke/Fire Borges to Fire Brandon?
November 13th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
did I ever say fire Hoke or Brandon????
November 13th, 2013 at 1:41 PM ^
You said:
that someone can stay employed after doing such a piss-poor job...must be nice to keep getting paid $800,000 while doing the absolute shittiest job you can possibly do!
I think he thought you were referring to Dave Brandon, because Dave Brandon is paid $800k a year, and some would argue that he sucks and is doing a shitty job
November 13th, 2013 at 2:20 PM ^
Probably not by any objective measure.
November 13th, 2013 at 3:55 PM ^
thanks for the insight...and I meant Borges' pay, I believe that is also $800,000 per year, unless I am incorrect, in which case I apologize...see how easy that is to do, Al???

You could be talking about a half dozen coaches.
Notre Dame fans want to fire the coach that gave them their only relevant season in 25 years...because he's not MANBALL enough.
The Nation, more than anything else in the world, wants its head coach to coach a manly manball style, which makes it he complete inversion of any Michigan message board screaming about yet another under-center run that goes backwards.
Oregon, which wins every other game by 50 points hates their life.
And the two fanbases of the two "why can't Michigan have someone like Stoops/have hired Miles" both want their coaches run out of town. Because they've each only won one national championship. I'd say all fans are stupid, but if that were really true you wouldn't get gems like these:
PokeJ: To be clear, Armageddon would be Baylor winning the Big 12 right ?

I knew that video was going to be classic when "In the Arms of an Angel" started playing
November 13th, 2013 at 9:55 AM ^
Al Borges would tell you what he was going to do if he were playing rock-paper-scissors. But he'd execute great.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:01 AM ^
Little known secret, REAL MAN FOOBAW = Al Borges.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:02 AM ^
Brian should get 100 new MGoBlog readers from that Shout Out.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:05 AM ^
No The U?
That series of tweets from NFL fans was definitely the highlight.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:17 AM ^
A good counterpart to TWIS is Hatin' Ass Spurrier at EDSBS.
An excerpt from this week:
Y'know how some people just buy a sign that says "PROTECTED BY SO AND SO SECURITY" and put it in front of their house even though there's no alarm installed? I think that sign could beat Will Muschamp in checkers.
Click training ain't working with Will Muschamp, is it?
Day games are really trouble for Florida this year. Makes it impossible for Brent Pease to pick plays off his Lite Brite.
You have to pay respect to Florida's run game though, because it's dead.
I suppose it'd be crude of me to call Florida the blow-up doll of the SEC, but they did just get pounded by a bunch of excited nerds.
I don't think Will Muschamp came to Florida and found a bare cupboard, but he did hire Charlie Weis to do his shopping for a bit.
That's not a fat joke, but I did say "Charlie Weis" so the confusion is understandable.
Michigan's run game is so bankrupt John L. Smith wants to buy thirty shares.
Didn't know Illinois was worth cutting into parts, NIU, but people with nothin' will fight over anything, I suppose.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:16 AM ^
It sucks that they had to make it but that video about rushing yards was brilliant.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:16 AM ^
I propose we make Negarines a thing. HT to Negatigers.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:19 AM ^
if not for our old friends: ennui and despondency.
It's all of the Ari Golds out there who haven't given up the ghost that are keeping that f-bomb stat higher than usual. My last profanity-laced tirade was vs. PSU.
November 13th, 2013 at 12:55 PM ^
I haven't dropped many f-bombs at all while on this here board!
LLOOOOOOOYYYYDDDD!!!!
November 13th, 2013 at 10:21 AM ^
Will offensive failure now be called a "Borges"? If so we can lay claim to not one but TWO such Michigan coaching distinction:
"Moellered" - To be blind drunk beyond all reasonable functioning
"Borgesed" - To fail spectacularly and repeatidly.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:33 AM ^
were all you needed to describe a certain measure of fail.
But even Debord's 3-play repetoire could gain Michigan +1 yard.
No, when you say "Borges", everyone now knows exactly what you mean, but it's another category of fail altogether.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:45 AM ^
"Debordian" is like having a F40 Ferrari and never getting it above 60 MPH.
"Borgesian" is like having a Mercedes SLS with a faulty break line that you constantly wreck (walls, trees, etc.) because you fail to fix said line because your mechanic that works on that is a funking idiot.
November 13th, 2013 at 11:18 AM ^
Good analogy. I'll add that the SLS will sometimes outperform even a Ferrari, yet other times, it will have trouble keeping up with a Pontiac Vibe. No one knows why, or which car will show up at the race.
November 13th, 2013 at 10:58 AM ^
We all want this fixed. Some say lose Borges/Funk/Hoke some say patience. Whatever the outcome lets hope we get it turned around.
November 13th, 2013 at 11:14 AM ^
please please ask Borges at the next press conference if he has any comment about his name being used a football synonym for "incompetence", both in college and the NFL ... and I'm sure a few high school games too.
In case we all thought we were all alone ... the world knows too !
November 13th, 2013 at 11:15 AM ^
I am just grateful for ND and OU. Someone out there is more despondent than me. This is the true spirit of schadenfreude.
November 13th, 2013 at 11:18 AM ^
That video was the best. Watching Mclachlan rub Borges' head made me spit my drink out!
LOL @ 1-800-PLUSRUN! Good shit Brian. Good shit.
November 13th, 2013 at 11:28 AM ^
*Searches twitter for Al Borges fired* *goes back to work* *sobs*I'm dying over here! +∞
November 13th, 2013 at 11:34 AM ^
Currently working at a bank. That line slayed me this morning.
November 13th, 2013 at 11:40 AM ^
Yeah, made me laugh out loud as well.
"...REAL MAN FOOBAW." got me too.
One of the more entertaining TWIS.
November 13th, 2013 at 11:41 AM ^
I almost wish he had posted the Mood Chart, but I didn't put that up until later in the day and in another thread. Needless to say, we've spent much of the season sitting just inside the so-called "ANGAR" quadrant, with PSU being of course full-on rage.
All the same, TWIS isn't ideally how we should be making our fanbase famous, but alas, such is football. I don't know if there is such data, but I am beginning to wonder what the record might be for appearance in TWIS for a single season.
November 13th, 2013 at 2:02 PM ^
Woohoo, I made TWIS!
