Patiently Awaiting an Update on a National Championship Recap Magazine/Periodical/Book
Alright maybe not patiently, I might check Kickstarter at least daily. Hope it’s still a thing, as I’ve enjoyed the articles written by writers of yesteryear.
In the meantime here’s a cool thing that Coca-Cola did:

Hey writers, MGoFunk demands action!

My only demand is that they afford me the honor of taking my money for this project/product.

I have found that the search function enables some very enjoyable re-reading of game columns from the season.
Also: if this post is about pushing the blog's limited personnel to shape their work in a given direction - I vote against this and in favor of the next recruiting board. Following the new coaching staff's efforts on the recruiting trail is going to be most fascinating.

pretty sure this is going to take many months. I'm guessing it'll come out after summer. It'll be glorious and extravegant and there is no time or cost limit. This will be buried with you in your coffin or will cause your decendents to declare war on each other to earn it as inheritance.
You're thinking way too small

I got a nice 32 page special additional National Championship edition of Michigan Alum magazine yesterday!

Just wishcasting but with NIL, if the guys could partner with some players to offer autographed copies of this thing when it comes out, the sheer amount of money I’d blow…

That commemorative coke bottle is insanely expensive. 8 dollars for an eight ounce bottle? Come on. Unless that's a 1905 recipe coke, with dilute cocaine included, there's no way I'm paying $1/oz for that stuff.

It's not what's in it, it's what's on it.
I'll be getting one. My brother who went to Penn State had one from their national championship in 1982. For years, I was always jealous of that. It spoke to me for some reason, much more than makes any sense.
So I'll be getting one of my own in an act of redemption.

A month ago I was going to buy the comparative SI National Championship magazine but thought the Wolverine edition would be in my mailbox soon

Sorry to highjack this thread, but if anyone gets the Alumni Association magazine (Michigan Alumnus) and would be willing to part with their copy of the newest edition would you shoot me an email?
A picture of my family made it into the magazine, and I’d like to snag a couple extra copies.
I’m assuming most people end up recycling it once they’ve read it over, but maybe not this time since it’s the first one after the championship game. Worth a shot either way.
Thanks!

There's a kickstarter? Are these things up for pre-order? Whenever they come out?

Their previews are usually kickstarter-ed and that’s how you get a physical copy. Please hold one and I’ll see if I can get a link.

I see, so there's not a specific kickstarter for this project. It's just expected to pop up on there once it's created

Just got my Detroit Free Press Maize Grande book today. It's freaking awesome.

If you listen all the way through today's MGOBLOG version of the WTKA podcast, it wraps with Seth telling Brian: "Before you go, we've got to figure out when we want to do the Kickstarter for the thing."....
