mGrowOld Appreciation Thread
A lot of people credit Cade for the miraculous turnaround of this program. And he does deserve a lot of credit. The way he rallied the team with Aidan and Hassan was really remarkable. The way it’s continued is even more impressive. But I submit that there is another hero. A mgouser so grouchy, so get off my lawn-y that he/they/she (assumed he) adopted the mGrowOld monicker. Why? The year was 2020. There was a global pandemic wrecking our lives. Our beloved Wolverines were…struggling. And while Cade was reverse creating the Aneurism of Leadership with calm, conviction, and determination. mGrowOld hit the board with this:
And the football team listened. And they stopped hitting themselves in the nuts and it has been glorious ever since. Thank you mGrowOld for showing us the way.
Apologies if the size is wrong, tried doing this from the ole cell phone.

Size of swollen balls?

Question for MGrowOld himself...
Do the desire to attack ones own testicles with a hammer stem from living in Ohio?
December 6th, 2022 at 5:52 PM ^
as someone who lives in Ohio just a short distance from mgrow
abso-fucking-lutely
December 6th, 2022 at 2:57 PM ^
They were so big they had to ride shotgun in his car.
December 6th, 2022 at 4:12 PM ^
Hopefully this one doesn't get me in trouble...
December 6th, 2022 at 2:17 PM ^
If at first....
December 6th, 2022 at 3:55 PM ^
Not sure I would need research on this subject. I could stick my head up a bulls ass…..
December 6th, 2022 at 2:17 PM ^
what is that old saying about the definition of insanity?
hitting yourself in the nuts with a hammer over and over, expecting a different outcome.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:23 PM ^
I know Einstein thought it required an expectation of an outcome, but I am pretty sure you can meet the definition of insanity at "hitting yourself in the nuts with a hammer over and over." I don't think the expectations of a specified outcome are necessary at that point.
December 6th, 2022 at 4:04 PM ^
No need to kink shame
December 6th, 2022 at 3:01 PM ^
Actually, I think the definition of insanity is "hitting yourself in the balls with a hammer."
December 6th, 2022 at 3:25 PM ^
It always irks me that the "definition of insanity" gets attributed to Albert Einstein.
It wasn't Einstein. It wasn't Ben Franklin. It wasn't Mark Twain.
It was probably coined in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It's possible - though unlikely - that Einstein may have said something similar.
The reason it irks me is that Einstein was a physicist. He'd have known about the Law of (Truly) Large Numbers, which states that with a large enough sample size, EVERY possible outcome is likely to be observed.
December 6th, 2022 at 3:42 PM ^
Just because every outcome can happen with a large enough sample size doesn't mean it isn't ridiculous (or temporarily insane) to expect particular outcomes in small/realistic sample sizes.
December 6th, 2022 at 4:32 PM ^
Einstein was also a dedicated violinist.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result could also be called "practice" :)
December 6th, 2022 at 2:18 PM ^
This was...not what I was expecting.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:55 PM ^
Me either.
December 6th, 2022 at 3:37 PM ^
I'll bet you said the same thing after the 12th time smashing your balls with a hammer
December 6th, 2022 at 4:02 PM ^
That's what his balls said.
December 6th, 2022 at 4:30 PM ^
Perfect! 🤣
December 6th, 2022 at 2:18 PM ^
Funky post - but credit to where it’s due. This old man has brought a lot of joy to many of us.
December 6th, 2022 at 8:18 PM ^
I love the meta nature of the joke because you know he already had a long-winded "get off my lawn" post after furiously clicking on yet another useless thread.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:18 PM ^
Pics or it didn't happen.

evenyoubrutus confirmed as Seth's alternate account

The problem I have with MGrow’s story is I just don't see “how that is even possible”.
He would either have to have very short arms which would cause him to both miss the target and then swing around with exactly the right radius to where his most delicate body parts were waiting.
Or, he would have to have elephant balls, where with elephant balls it’s painful to have them just hanging around during a long session at the work bench. So to rest them you would normally lay them up on the table in their own soft resting spot while you work.

if you hit your nuts with a hammer, while in the portal, will anyone hear it?
December 6th, 2022 at 4:03 PM ^
No, but you do get an extra year of eligibility.
December 6th, 2022 at 4:44 PM ^
provided you haven't appeared in more than 4 games that season
December 6th, 2022 at 2:19 PM ^
we found MGrowOld's alt
December 6th, 2022 at 2:23 PM ^
I have now been accused of being a MineralKing alt (I believe everyone thought or accused him of being Shea), Fred Jackson, and now mGrowOld. I remain, a middle age guy in South Central Kentucky.
December 6th, 2022 at 3:35 PM ^
Governor Andy Beshear?
December 6th, 2022 at 3:51 PM ^
That’s more northern/central kentucky. Closer to the cousin-kissers if you will.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:20 PM ^
Videos or it didn't happen.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:50 PM ^
With or without sound?
December 6th, 2022 at 3:47 PM ^
3D viewing compatible.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:21 PM ^
You, uh... saved this? Weird flex but ok.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:23 PM ^
This post made me laugh in 2020. Was deleting old pictures to make room on my phone and saw this.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:22 PM ^
Good analogy, mGrow. Looks like our team understood the Definition of Insanity, and made the right changes. The Buckeyes defense this year - not so much.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:22 PM ^
can confirm mgrow is a great guy and very funny.
cannot confirm and will not ask re: hammer usage on privates.
December 6th, 2022 at 3:01 PM ^
Dude in white is truly committed
December 6th, 2022 at 4:08 PM ^
"should be" not "is".
December 6th, 2022 at 6:29 PM ^
Maybe if he had a hammer
December 6th, 2022 at 6:51 PM ^
... he'd hammer in the morning,
He'd hammer in the evening,
All over this land.
He'd hammer out danger
He'd hammer out warnings
He'd hammer his balls until they'd never ever function again, anywhere in this land.
December 6th, 2022 at 2:27 PM ^
I’m mesmerized that you’ve found the meaning of life for us in 2022, not long after M pounds OSU by 22, by finding a 2:21 10/20/2020 post by mGrowOld about smashing balls. I’m assuming you’re The Knowledge.
December 6th, 2022 at 3:53 PM ^
YES. But actually no.
