Rosenberg writes good column in support of keeping the game last.
This, while not nearly as good as Brian's, nonetheless makes a strong case and uses similar rationale Brian offered for keeping the game as is. last game if the regular season. One thing I like about the approach Brian and this column took, is that the easy overview is "sentiment on one side, money and practicality on the other." That is entirely untrue as we know.

Hate to agree with Rosenberg, but in this case, he is right. My fear is that the decision has already been made. In Columbus, there is a lot of noise coming from the fan base about changing the date. Maybe it is time the powers that be listened to the fans for a change.

OSU fans, Michigan fans, Brian and the FREEP united, Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

Yes, this man has no dick

That is the most fucked up eyebrow I've ever seen. Andy Rooney thinks you need a trim, Jimbo.

Aren't these threads banned?
August 27th, 2010 at 8:56 AM ^
Pretty sure Brian said linking to an article regarding UofM is ok. Just no more random Freep bashing.
August 27th, 2010 at 8:59 AM ^
I've been up all night, my brain isn't working very well.

If you linked to the print version, as Brian requested.

that Brian did some magic to make all freep links automatically go to the print link. Is that not the case here?
August 27th, 2010 at 10:29 AM ^
He meant that when he posted a link to the freep, it would be to a print page. If the OP's link were to a print page, the link would begin "http://www.freep.com/print/." It's up to those posting links to the freep to click on "Print" (usually right below Rosenberg's/Snyder's/whoever's name) next to the printer icon.

Uh, the link you posted explicitly states the Freep links will automatically be directed to the print page:
All links to the Free Press are now automatically directed to their print page.
And the comments have posters trying it out. Which makes me think it's working in the comments, but not when starting an MGoBoard thread. For a test, I'll copy the URL from the OP here and see if it automatically updates to the print link like it did in the comments in the meta post:
http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100827/COL22/8270370/…
EDIT: So that doesn't work either. I guess the automatic redirect isn't working anymore.

Who is this Rosenberg fellow? Not familiar with his work.
/sarcasm
August 27th, 2010 at 10:34 AM ^
...if he could have pissed in our collective cornflakes I am sure he would have...he's just writing a cloying piece that will play to the tradition soaked masses (and conveniently hits home with us on the board)
once again, I submit, the hell with Rosenberg and his crap assed paper
August 27th, 2010 at 11:25 AM ^
From the MGoBorg consciousness: "Assimilation complete".
August 27th, 2010 at 11:27 AM ^
All this proves is that even an idiot couldn't screw this one up....
August 27th, 2010 at 11:47 AM ^
I didn't even read it and I know it sucked

If the Freep will endorse our cause, we should suspend our anti-Freep campaign for the time being. The enemy of our enemy, etc.
