- 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.

Looks like a comment broke the thread, all that comes up when I open in Chrome and ie is a light blue screen.
Yeah, I posted it this morning and just now went back to look for responses. Couldn't get it to come up. Wondering if it got deleted by a moderator or if something else weird is going on?
We're in substantial debt apparently?
One of the awesome things about this place is that we're engaged enough that we even take a keen interest in the department's balance sheet.
This was discussed at great length just the other day.

Michigan State really did go 3-9 last year. You didn't hallucinate that.
Also: Notre Dame went 4-8.
The Lewis thread was really well handled. Discrete editing kept things reasonably civilized while still allowing discussion, locked but not stricken after a lot of discussion had taken place. Given the gravity of the charge and the affection the fanbase has for Lewis, it's the platonic ideal for a thread discussing that kind of topic. Good work.

MGoCallOut: What say you, Stringer Bell?
Threads like this, singling out other MGoUsers, are always a bad idea. I really don't care if I get singles out for threads or comments that go, but don't do this to others.
Rhode Island or Oregon
This was asked in a thread which - for now - still on the first page.
Louisville Player Applauds Missed Free Throw ??
You are being overly sensitive.
The "Blashill" thread has devolved into things like "shut the fuck up" directed at another commenter. It really needs to be cleaned up--it's not a good look.
This would have been funny if they hadn't made the tournament. Getting knocked out in the 2nd round by a 1-seed is respectable enough that this joke feels lame.
but...
PARALYPSIS!!!
Saying you don't like a thing "BUT" then saying that thing is called a paralypsis. Or parallipsis. Or something like that. Anyway it's totally a thing that I didn't just make up right now to describe a figure of rhetoric where someone tries to pretend they sympathize with the critical flaw in their argument then makes the argument anyway.
I don't want to pile on Michigan State BUT they DID go 3-9 last year.
Also Notre Dame went 4-8.
Team Insights from Orlando Malone (Father of Corey)
From the post the OP copied:
Decided to drop a few nuggets to sooth everyone's mind (bball loss) and help launch spring ball tomorrow. If this stuff show up anywhere, I will go on another self imposed "post band."
So, let's not be THAT blog....
John Navarre.
Can we just ban the user "maizen" from creating and commenting in basketball threads? He turns stuff that should be objective, decent board material into anti-Beilein crap. Just ctr-F his name here and some of the stuff is just brutal.

A total destruction of reality.
A post that was apparently so deep that whatever was heard could not be repeated for public consumption. I guess we "might of" (OP's words) missed it after all.
I'm curious why the student loan post was deleted? That's a topic, espeically in a place like this where so, so many are either students or recent graduates, would find enormous value (particularly the PSLF portion). Just curious...
It was Spam--they linked directly to a specific service, and that service actually has some problems that the OP didn't mention.
If someone wants to advertise a financial product here, they can contact me.
Red Berenson career retrospective/appreciation thread
This is coming down at the request of the OP, even though I personally saw nothing wrong with it.
Can we have a blog-wide primer and guidelines about domestic violence? Every time there's a thread about an athlete involved in an incident, it inevitably turns into a rather disgusting display of victim-blaming, speculation inevitably in favor of said athlete, longwinded hot takes on how men are attacked too, and generally hostile behavior towards a very real problem that affects countless women in this country. It's gross, and shouldn't be tolerated here.
Yes.
- Innocent until proven guilty
- No politics
- Hot takez suck. Think twice before sharing yours, especially if you just want to make a general or moral statement that doesn't apply to the specific case. This is because we all share the same exact moral standard--Consent--so telling us this is boring and tends to egg on others to respond with...
- Victim-blaming and other particularly disgusting takes will be deleted.
- The above will also result in loss of points or banning depending on the degree and disgustingness
- The above is the moderator's discretion, so moderate your behavior to whatever you think the moderator thinks.
I too thought Harbaugh had another kid. Let's save the memeing for when he does literally burn Georgia to the ground. Don't think it won't happen dudes!
