- Politics. It's an election year; don't even bother.
- Useless content from other sites. There are a lot of sites feeding a lot of Michigan content out there, and a lot of that is good stuff. But more than ever these days a lot of it is just stuff which tries to tickle your fancy or make you mad about something. 247, WTKA always get the benefit of the doubt. Sharp, Valenti or Chatsports will lose you your posting priveleges without exception.
- Bewbs and general misogyny/objectifying of women. We're sick of it, our female readership is even sicker of it, and any value you might place on the comfort of cutting loose with the guys is worth less to us than the damage it does with tens of thousands of our readers.
- "MODS: Please activate Death Star and obliterate this post."
- He's going to Eastern Michigan
- No Assclowns.jpg
- Most. Offseason. Thng. Ever.
- Where "Snowflakes" comes from
- BiSB is THE KNOWLEDGE
- That's not how the internet works, profit. NEG!
- Bad at spam
- We lost to who?
- This is funnier if you imagine it's Hoke and DB fighting.
- On politics in general and that one really political guy.

MICHIGAN #8 In Preseason Coaches Poll
I could be wrong, but this poll was out a while ago and we did beat it to death, if I am not mistaken. If I am mistaken, I can always reinstate this thread.

OT: OSU picks up two 5-star WR's
Yeah, recruiting thread regarding a rival plus scarce details and a "Welp..." will not go very far around here. Please endeavor to do better next time.

OT - It's good to be Usain Bolt.
This seemed like it was going to go downhill in a hurry, given the tenor of the replies. Needless to say, anyone who can finish as quickly as Bolt should be....well, yeah, if he's as quick in bed as he is on the track, then it's probably better off being not a thread.

OT: DAVE BRANDON STILL A DOUCHEBAG
Yeah, we covered this, but yes, he is still a douchebag.

User Youcrytoomuch just joined and just suggested that Desmond Howard speaks "ebonlish" in the Lee Corso thread. I'm not big on yelling out certain buzzwords, but his post seems, uh...

OT: Just saw the movie Greater; highly recommended
Eh, no offense to the OP, and yes, while the movie is football-related, we did put an end to OT posts of this nature a couple days ago. OP's post is below if you want a summation of the film all the same:
Just saw the movie Greater. It's the story of Brandon Burlsworth, a former walk on at Arkansas who went on to become an All American and was drafted in the third round in 1999 by Indianapolis. It's a nice story, even a little corny, at times, but Burlsworth was an amazing person, player, and teammate from a humble background. I'd recommend seeing it for anyone who loves college football, and even for those who don't.
Burlsworth was only one of two people in 120 years to have his jersey retired at Arkansas. He was tragically killed when his car collided with a semi-trailer only 11 days after being drafted.
On a side note, I remember Burlsworth very well, with his trademark horn-rimmed glasses playing us in the 1999 Citrus Bowl. He was quite a player.

Even in jest, don't do this.

The Jake Butt/Grant Perry Presser isn't loading properly for me. It starts loading but goes to blank blue screen.
Tried Chrome (PC and Android), IE, and logged in and logged out.
August 29th, 2016 at 2:02 PM ^
I get the same fault.
August 30th, 2016 at 6:54 PM ^
There are other posts doing the same thing as well, like the Butt/Wormley Named Captains post, and part 2 of Opponent Watch...
August 29th, 2016 at 5:32 PM ^
This post deserves action:

Also the thread in general, but when a poster tells another to go fuck himself, it's time for mods to intervene.
August 29th, 2016 at 6:24 PM ^
Holy crap. Thanks for the heads up.
The things that happen when you go pick up the kids from the in-laws.
I mean, the whole exchange began badly with the whole "Harbaugh is a racist dick" from Sports, but it got even worse, if that's possible.

No safe zone here. Mob mentality. Drive a new poster off the board.
August 31st, 2016 at 5:55 PM ^
The closest thing you get to a safe zone here is a posbang thread, and even then, people have been known to fuck those up, so it isn't 100% guaranteed at any rate.
Not sure why you would want one on a sports blog either - seems like it would take the element of risk out of it, which is a shame.
August 31st, 2016 at 9:42 PM ^
Question: Why are there users who can post via mobile but you can't see those same posts on the web? They accrue positive points but can't be negged as they don't show up on the web?
September 1st, 2016 at 8:16 AM ^
The best way I can explain it - The mobile apps pull the comments from the database/server before the website's moderation filters are applied. There may be a way to update the apps to include the moderation filters, but I don't know enough about programming to know for sure.

"The Official Guide" To S**t Talking Everyone On Michigan’s Schedule
I think the OP got their answer on whether or not the board appreciated it.

ESPN "writer" saying Michigan not for real (yet). Where do they get these people?
This definitely didn't need to be a thread in the first place; the premise that Michigan hasn't won big games yet this year is rather hard to argue. Worse, however, were the misogynistic, derogatory comments towards the author. Cut that BS out or accounts are going to disappear.
I'll make myself crystal clear since it's apparently necessary for many of you: whether or not you agree with the article, the author's gender and appearance have absolutely nothing to do with the conversation. Stooping to that level is unoriginal, unfunny, and most of all insulting. Consider this a final warning before I start blocking accounts at the first sight of this kind of stuff. If you think your comment even approaches being borderline, keep it to yourself, and maybe take some time to consider how you relate to women.

Since we've signed with Nike and have the distinction of being the only school currently using the Jordan brand for football, have you considered changing the breaks to read, (Much more after the Jump, Man)? Just an MGoSuggestion...
September 7th, 2016 at 6:48 AM ^
Visual difference of Jordan vs Adidas
I think what we're seeing here when it comes to the slow accumulation of downvotes is that jersey and uniform hot takes have been way overdone on this blog, so please be selective about these sorts of threads.
September 7th, 2016 at 3:59 PM ^
This guy is spamming every board topic and front page post with some nonsense Wikipedia edit that he no doubt created, in addition to being obsessed with the age of Scott Frost's wife.

Seriously, look at his posting history from the past couple of days. It's...sad.

Mo Bamba had to reach out to Michigan to get recruited
Tidbit of news spun in such a way that the thread could not possibly go well. I am all for analysis, but this one wasn't spectacular and reads far too much into a tweet. When you end it like this -
And this is just another log on the fire to Beilein's ridiculous recruiting mathods.
Pardon the board if your "mathods" are questioned.
September 10th, 2016 at 4:50 PM ^
The OSU is
....no longer a thread. Remember that I specified that individual game threads outside the normal "noon" or "afternoon" or "evening" threads must have a fairly significant reason for being. This thread does not have that.
