How to get our mojo back
I, too, thought playing App State again was a horrible idea, but now I understand. Dave Brandon is a genius. Not just a knows-how-to-make-a-billion-dollars genius, but a figured-out-the-secret-of-the-universe genius. The problem with Michigan Football is that, when The Horror occurred, we lost our mojo (That’s mojo, not MoJo, the dorm). We were transported into an alternate reality where things like Toledo and UMass and Akron and the BWWbowl happen. The universe is trying hard to right itself, as evidenced by things like the Capital One Bowl (Urbz/Tebow), UTL, the Sugar Bowl and last year’s ohio game, but it can’t. The only way to reset the universe is to go back to the beginning. We have to beat App State. Only then can we get our mojo back.
on a thursday.

It's 8:41 am here. What the balls is your point? Brandon is trying to get back onto the timeline where Michigan once was. Wrangle that shit, Brandon.
It's time to strike back, baby
With a game 4 win and Zetterberg on the ice, we'll have our mojo back.

I'm hearing that he is cleared to play limited minutes...

To me, MoJo can only mean Mosher-Jordan Hall. I love the Gothic look (architecture buffs, feel free to correct my Gothic interpretation). App St. can never take that away from us.
Mojo Jojo?
YOLO

You called?

like a mofo.

Holy pants! How did you do that?!?
April 24th, 2014 at 12:48 PM ^
Haha you've reached the point where people neg you on the spot! Consider yourself lucky!
During OT especially it seems like there are midly stupid posts, really stupid posts and monumentally stupid posts.
And then there are threads like this.
Yeah but it's still better than the "Hoke Contract Extension" thread below
Set the bar really low, and posts that are greater than monumentally dumb look ok. Its the same logic that gives us sad statements like losing to OSU is a way of "the universe trying to right itself." I think Michigan fans are at an all-time low. At least in the RR years we had hope. Right now, I don't think we have much hope.
I feel like it's been a long time since I opened a board post and didn't think to myself, "This stupid shit again?"
I'm having a bad day at work right now as it is. I come here and see board posts like this and BiSB's troll post on the front page and it's like "why did I even bother with today?"
everyone just chill out. The guy's account is less than two weeks old and he's offering a theory as to how we can fix the situation we're in. Don't stiffle his creativity. Guide him...nurture him... consult him. Oh, shit...what am I saying....
But doesn't pass the "smell test" as a true newbie. Quite possibly a banished former MGoBlogger under a new MGoUsername.
I'm very confused by the examples you gave of good vs. bad mojo.
for bravery.
Win football games
Specifically, stop letting MSU and OSU walk all over us

Correct, MSU has not walked over us, they have merely stomped roughly over our downtrodden carcasses.
This may be the best logical explanation for the state of the program yet. I'm not saying it's aliens....
The Austin Powers story line that had to do with mojo involved time travel. MGoEngineers...get to work. We need to harness dilithium, STAT.
and thus it does.
a full-mantle force
why I eyes ya
indeed, that's all about that anyone.
but in fact nobody realizes
why is the surge the enemy, and couldn't we settle our differences with it over an anchovy pizza?
That is what reading this thread was like.

(...the hell did I just read?)

I... actually agree. I didn't think I would ever agree with anything like this. But I agree.
Did they end up finding that Malaysian plane?

How to get our mojo back:
- Win football games
- Repeat

I agree with the OP, and that's why I'm so excited to go to the game vs App State. I see it as an exorcism of sorts.
April 24th, 2014 at 10:08 AM ^
I don;t understand that logic at all. If we win the game 100-0 we still lost the game, so to speak. No matter what happens we lost to this team in 2007 in a game that will never ever ever ever ever be forgotten no matter how hard we try. In fact I guaruntee you that at certain intervals in the game, the broadcast will say "At this point in the game seven years ago, the score was ..." Scheduling this game was almost obnoxious and is simply a way to generate interest in a season opener that normally would be a team like Western or Eastern Michigan. I honestly can't wait until this game is in the rearview mirror.

I had conviniently forgotten, may be due to my extracurricular substance abuse tho, you should try it!
I thought losing to Toledo was bottom of the barrel personally. App State was a shocker, yes, and won't be forgotten by this generation. Losing to Kordell Stewart was pretty bummer too.

All this game is going to do is force us to see that damned blocked FG eighty thousand times in the lead up to the game.
This is a classic lose-lose. We have nothing to gain other than a mild uptick in exposure over just playing Eastern like we should.
April 24th, 2014 at 10:02 AM ^
Charles Woodson is the only serious mojo we've had in the last 20 years.
April 24th, 2014 at 12:35 PM ^
RoJo's mom had some mojo to her

Right towards the end of the sick period, you take a massive shit that feels upon standing back up like you just ejected the last of the disease out of your body.
Love that feeling.
