SIAP: Contact Schlissel and the regents and voice your disgust
This actually came down before for the sole reason that we don't need to re-publish the contact information for the Regents so they can get more irate fans in their ears than they might already have. That, and having their work addresses and work phone numbers up there might lead to problems from a few people.
Tradition, Tradition, Tradition.
I believe the larger problem of Michigan's crisis of identity is being well-covered in other threads.

Ross on Brandon: Duplicate
Gregg Henson gets the Assclown tag: I tried to establish Henson's credibility, even reached out to him on Twitter. The guy is getting emails from one former player passing along the suite of dubious stories, and is trying to use that to become the MC for the downfall of this administration. I've decided to just not bite. Treat Henson stories like Drew Sharp et al.
September 29th, 2014 at 10:16 AM ^
Would Hoke step down now?
Indirectly, this has been covered in numerous threads already, enough so that I think this can come down. We might want to limit speculation on stuff like this until something unfolds, if anything.
September 29th, 2014 at 10:21 AM ^
for you guys, huh?
September 29th, 2014 at 1:00 PM ^
Duplicate.
September 29th, 2014 at 2:39 PM ^
Who are the real candidates?
There is extensive coverage of this in the Diary section actually, so we may try to just confine it to there for the time being. Plenty of names / assessments being discussed with room to add your own.
September 29th, 2014 at 5:44 PM ^
Apologies to everyone, but I am trying to condense the board discussion just a bit here and the extraneous protest threads seem the best target....
CC: A protest we can all get behind
Make an immediate statement: Wear RED at UTLIII.
Support #BoycottMaryland or #BoycottIndiana
I know one wasn't too bad, but let's keep the obvious disenchantment limited to select discussions.
September 29th, 2014 at 6:00 PM ^
Gregg Henson, that is, who is officially part of the "persona non grata" list, therefore...
Dave Brandon negotiating release?
This one goes. Also this...
MGoFrenzy: The Rant-O-Rama of the Entitled
This one is going downhill too. We've left plenty of threads for rants, folks.
September 29th, 2014 at 10:26 PM ^
Might want to check out the thread about the lack of a public disclosure of that medical report RE: Morris. Someone may have messed up the Lightbox gallery they dropped in there and it fills up the page for anyone who is logged in. It might also be an elaborate prank on me, in which case bravo.
You can disable it by using Developer tools in something like Chrome, but that feels like more work than you need.
September 30th, 2014 at 6:39 AM ^
Nothing particularly bad here, just some condensing of the discussion by removing a few threads which are sort of covered by other parts of the board right now or other threads.
Where the hell are Michigan's leaders?
There are numerous threads asking this very same thing in different ways.
Don't overlook the cradle of coaches
Extensive discussion of potential candidates in the Diary section already, plus I don't know that a discussion of anything other than high profile names will go anywhere for a lot of reasons. Remember to use "CC" on the board for coaching change though.
Morris probable concussion
On the front page as well as the board already.
September 30th, 2014 at 9:38 AM ^
On the front page and on the board already.
September 30th, 2014 at 10:22 AM ^
SIAP: NY Times on the Morris Incident
It was very quickly booted from the first page, but this did make it to the board early this morning.
CC: Let's say Hoke is fired mid-season
This is sort of covered in the "Realistic Timetable" thread, so this post might be better inside that thread.
Inaction by President/Regents
I don't know that we want equate a communications update not happening today to inaction just yet.
September 30th, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
Okay.
October 2nd, 2014 at 4:15 PM ^

The Michigan Indifference
We've had similar ideas in a few threads that were left standing in the last few days, so this one might be played out at this point.
Another Gregg Henson article about Brandon
Gregg Henson was indeed placed on the "journalist non grata" list, so no.
Foster Quotes Sideline Watcher Who Says Trainers Told Hoke to Remove Morris
I found the segment, and typically a particular show on 97.1 is not well-received here due to the people who do it. Well, more one than the other, and I rather failed in my duties by picking a fight in that thread, but I don't know that this tells us anything that couldn't easily go into another thread right now.
October 1st, 2014 at 8:30 AM ^
Michigan Student Athlete Committee Issues Statement Backing Brandon
This was covered in the wee hours. Actually, at this point, we may have to just assume that if a statement has been issued, it will be on this board within seconds.
October 1st, 2014 at 11:38 AM ^
...was run one staff meeting, attend another, and come back to find...
Prediction: Hoke pulls Gardner from game this Saturday
This is the sort of prediction that is best left to the recesses of one's own mind.
Mods...Please delete
Done and done.
The Influence of Large Donors
I think this has several threads which are at least secondarily involved in this discussion still in the first few pages of the board.
This is the most important group of UM students in my lifetime
The board could really do without more melodramatics right now.
Butter over too much bread
The thread "Can we please walk it back a bit?" is basically the same thing, but I agree with the sentiment. No offense to the OP here.
October 1st, 2014 at 4:45 PM ^
Brandon / The Plot Thickens
Unless there was something shocking in the SAAC statement that I missed, never mind it has made it to the board twice today, then the plot most certainly did not thicken.
October 1st, 2014 at 5:10 PM ^
I will eat a cargo container used to ship lemons if Mack Brown is the next coach.
October 1st, 2014 at 8:36 PM ^
I look forward to the videos of fellow MGoBloggers scampering over the docks of various port cities as a way to shame you in 6 months.
October 1st, 2014 at 7:06 PM ^
MSU trolls on coaching and program ethics
I don't see how this gets a good reception considering the mood of the board right now, much less on a good day. Actually, it wouldn't be that well-received more or less regardless.
October 2nd, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
A little cleanup...mainly some "feelings threads" that could probably go in favor of other discussions. No offense to the OPs in each case, but we've left a lot of these this week.
One mans view
Michigan's Offense and SP
What was that second one even about anyway?
Not a feelings thread, just the SI article already posted a couple days ago...
Brady Hoke is struggling, but his integrity should not be indicted
October 2nd, 2014 at 9:07 PM ^
Where'd the thread with the alleged DB email go?
October 2nd, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
My guess is they pulled it until WD can get proof that the email wasn't a fake. Don't want to spread something like that if someone just made that up (which wouldn't be very hard to do). Even if it's something that Brandon would definitely do, it looks bad for the site to be spreading rumors like that without any sort of proof.
October 2nd, 2014 at 9:11 PM ^
Dave Brandon sends snarky email back to alum
Without confirmation or context, it's hard to justify leaving this one up, especially without the original e-mail. Even if we can believe it is a Brandon-esque reply, let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here.
ADDENDUM: Brian put this back due to numerous reported instances of e-mails like this coming from the account, and it is now being FOIA'ed, so we shall see. Apologies, folks.
October 2nd, 2014 at 9:12 PM ^
Can the thread be revived if Devotee gets proof?
October 2nd, 2014 at 9:15 PM ^
Brian is sending an FOIA request via BiSB tonight. If it's real, I'm sure this isn't the last we'll hear of it.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:29 PM ^
For Brian's sake, and the sake of his blog, I hope it's real. It seems Brian has very little to gain and a lot to lose by leaving the post up with the hope of confirming the email's authenticity in the future.
October 2nd, 2014 at 9:26 PM ^
October 2nd, 2014 at 10:53 PM ^
BiSB posted an email address in the thread if you want to get in touch with him about it. FWIW he's also said such a limited and specific request for emails should be free.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:02 PM ^
Thanks for the heads up. I was also assuming it would actually be free, but I wouldn't put it past them to pretend they have no easy way of getting the documents given the dissembling we've seen thus far.
October 3rd, 2014 at 11:47 AM ^
Who has a more punchable face?
Yeah, I don't think this is going to generate a useful discussion...
Whereas this, well well-intentioned in my estimation...
RR appreciation thread.
We have already let a few threads on RR and the Arizona game stay, and this is rather what they became in a sense, so while there's nothing wrong with this from a content standpoint, it does speak to something that's already being discussed on the board.
OT (Not CC): Jim Harbaugh comfortable in chaos
This was indeed posted about a day or so ago.
October 3rd, 2014 at 7:20 PM ^
Hopefully this kid can get his issues resolved and go on to live a productive life, but he's completely off topic.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:52 AM ^
SemiOT: fans in the Knoxville Tennessee area
I would imagine that not many people here know where you can get Tennessee tickets on the street, and most people here (and they did) would actively discourage the OP from talking trash to Tennessee fans.
October 4th, 2014 at 5:05 PM ^

EDIT: Thank you, mods.
October 5th, 2014 at 8:10 AM ^
Not really anything particularly offensive, just trying to head off "Feelingsposts" and condense some discussions which are going in other threads. If I made a potential error, let me know and we can talk about it going back:
Snowflakes: Philosophy. No, wait. I'm serious.
FG time run off question
Clock - was there an error?
I can't believe what I'm watching with this MSU Nebraska game
Brandon's record
If Hoke were a real Michigan man, he would resign.
Some of this is also discussion that was had extensively last week that probably doesn't need immediate revisitation for the board's own mental health.
October 5th, 2014 at 4:52 PM ^
A couple more....
I'm blind, mods you know what to do..
There was a combo thread for Detroit sports already up. Normally, separate OT threads are fine, but we will try to work with this one today.
Thank You Notre Dame
The village more or less spoke, but thanking ND for cancelling the rivalry to stave off our own embarrassment in the future seems little over the top.

Sparty Student Section Empty
Already posted yesterday, I believe.
Derrick Green not on latest depth chart.
Duplicate thread.
Looking at the schedule, 2-10 seems probable now
Disproven as possible, but not yet probable.
CC: Paul Johnson
Yeah, we're probably going to devise a sticky system for these, but until then, the least popular ones are probably going to go once the board has had a chance to speak.
The case for positivity
No offense to the OP, and I get where this was going- I am just trying to keep other content on the board.
Mich State AD embarrassed by student attendance
This has made it to the bord twice already. We did leave one, of course.
...and we're going to do some selective editing for the time being of the CC craze...
CC: Lance Leipold
CC: Carol Hutchins
It's nothing offensive, folks, it's just getting to a point where other content is disappearing.
October 6th, 2014 at 4:54 PM ^
....for cleaning up the board...
MGoBoard Created Thread Volume out of Control thread
We're definitely working on this one.
MIA: Jabrill Peppers
It has been well-covered already, but he did travel and he is injured.
CC: Jon Gruden
Come now. Real possibilities, like Voldemort Pelini or whatever.
October 6th, 2014 at 10:48 PM ^
The ad isn't from the AD, it's from an MGoSponsor who has an account and posts on the board. Full story here.
October 7th, 2014 at 8:12 PM ^
Yeah, this can all come down now....
As promised - Main reason for MI's woes
Does not matter here
To be brief, the reason for the flameout and the flameout, in that order.
October 8th, 2014 at 11:50 AM ^
....of these threads:
Support the team...by BOYCOTTING THE GAME
The atmosphere around here is divisive enough as it is right now, and the other boycott ideas were left so people could vent / propose alternative / skewer, etc... Let's put these threads to bed for a bit, eh?
October 8th, 2014 at 4:15 PM ^
There's no way to establish what's going on in players minds, especially something like this that probably wouldn't even be a conscious thought anyway.
I also believe that there are about a thousand more relevant issues than Hoke's weight, and that it gets dangerously close to an ad hominem as opposed to discussing anything we see on the field or from behind a podium.
