I wonder if MSU's players think Burke is God now.

Dude,. it would have been the ultimate gift if MSU had won. We made zero threes, Stauskas got hurt, and got called for all kinds of phantom bullcrap down the stretch (lane violation, over-the-back, that blocking call). They caught one break after another all day. Nix's missed FT was poetic justice.
We didn't close out the game that well, but we earned it. MSU couldn't beat our halfcourt defense.

I think Burke's steal from Appling was "poetic justice."

Watching Trey shake commissioner Stern's hand (or whoever the new commish will be) will be a sad sight. Only seeing him hold up a Pistons #3 jersey will slightly ease the pain.

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: 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." 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.
I'm about 99.9% sure the Muppets thing comes from the MMB playing Temptation and the Hawaiian War Chant which are featured in the Muppet videos above.

Am I 100 percent sure that the muppets are based off the Marching Band. At halftime, the Band used to play Temptation. Then the announcer would say " Because you can't have one without the other . . . The Hawaiian War Chant!" Because, obliviously.

I didn't mean for the .1% to cop out of the MMB part as much as I had no idea what the Muppet connection was, and in turn how that connected to MGoBlog. Thanks for filling me (and I'm sure several others) in.
