As far as i know snowflakes do not equal Muppets.
Snowflakes indicate a place to discuss what unfolded. I remember all too well numerous snowflakes threads after disasterous outings on the gridiron. And I think after wins as well.
If my understanding is incorrect perhaps this thread shouldn't have been created...but that quote had to be highlighted one way or another.

The original Snowflake Rule, from our very own BiSB (I hope this link works, guess you'll have to trust me or go looking in the second mod sticky otherwise).
http://mgoblog.com/comment/reply/64129/1708415
I have unilaterally implementing a new rule. Well, I guess the rule isn't NEW so much as it just hasn't been enforced. Either way, it's a thing now, and it's called the Snowflake Rule. The Snowflake Rule is simple: threads that just repeat the same stuff everyone else is thinking are not thread-worthy. Here are some ways to know if you are in violation of the Snowflake Rule:Bottom line: posting a unique take on things is perfectly acceptable. If you want to post about a proposed defensive alignment or scheme that will allow the line to get better penetration? Knock yourself out. Want to demonstrate why Denard should run more by providing an analysis of past running QBs or of Michigan's success based on various run/pass ratios? We'd like to read it. But posting your take on a common question will get your thread pulled like something from a Weezer song.
- Your thread title begins with the words "My thoughts on," "My opinion regarding," or "What I think about"
- You cover a topic tat has been covered multiple times on the board or on the front page
- The evidence supporting your post's hypothesis is entirely (a) opinion and/or (b) empty, high-level, tautological statements like "Denard is fast"
- Your conclusion is something either obvious or completely opinion-based, like "we will be better if the blockers block people" or "Kalis should play because I think he'd be better." Or, as a totally hypothetical example, "Denard should run because Denard is fast at running."

Even in better football times, at least for as long as it has been a formal thing, we've had snowflake threads for football win or lose. We never really organized a similar treatment for basketball, but it is an easily transferrable concept in that regard and such threads do help keep the "hey look at me and my totally unique insight" factor down on the board.

Considering the increased expectations of the fanbase, "snowflakes" for tonight are appropriate. I did mine in the main thread, but here are my main points:
Every scholarship player should be back next year except LeVert, who is still slotted as a middle first round pick by many. Duncan Robinson should provide the shooting that this team is missing so badly. They found a way to win a game they would have found a way to lose a few weeks ago.
Next year looks great and I am not giving up on this one yet.

I hope Duncan Robinson can be good, but I just really doubt it. He seems like at best he'll be a spot up shooter which is cool, but he won't really add much IMO.

MAAR is decent. Donnal is welp status. If we can get a solid win against Rutgers and pull an upset against Wisco, I kinda feel like we might have a slim chance at making the NCAA.
Meh.
January 17th, 2015 at 11:00 PM ^
I'm not giving up on him. He's young and can still get stronger. The light just hasn't came on yet.
Also, I think everyone returns for next year.
January 18th, 2015 at 12:32 AM ^
January 18th, 2015 at 12:46 AM ^
I'm really not sure.
January 18th, 2015 at 6:17 AM ^
Yes. Donnal is a stretch 4 playing the 5. GR3 was a 3 playing the 4. Man if Beilein could ever just get the right role players in the right spots without injuries/transfers/stupid pot policies, it would be like the Final Four team throughout the whole season.
Grrr. Damn you NCAA!

To me, he is a bigger Smotrycz. A guy who just doesn't play mean at all. Gets pushed around and doesn't even try to dictate on the the court....he Soft

I forgot just how white knuckling so much of that season was.
A little pissed also that they didn't mention Watford's intentional foul. That still fills me with rage.

The Oladipo dunk still pisses me off.

I like that they have fight, it's just sad that they have to fight so damn hard every time against everyone. I'm pretty nervous about the Rutgers game, since it's on the road and they're playing well.
