the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

Diaries now have 200 word minimum
Gents: I've bumped the minimum words in a diary to 200, and created some explanatory text on the posting page that indicates short things with links should go on the message board.
Also, I'd like to plead with the peanut gallery to avoid Rivals-esque smack talking like this or this. Some ribbing is fine but let's 1) not throw stones out of glass houses and 2) not use RCMB-esque juvenile nicknames for stuff.
It is in this fashion we can maintain the air of superiority that is ours by birthright.

Thank you for taking in

Thank you for taking in active role in keeping the board in check, Brian. I come here for the intelligent posting, so the inane Rivals/Scout style stuff the sometimes seeps in here is a pain to see.

It would be great to get a comment ombudsman to explain to people what is expected of a diary vs. what is expected of a message board post.
The smack talking is message board fodder, I expect to see some research in a diary post (example: breakdown of the Pitt/WVU game)or something really substantial and clever (example: List of Michigan traditions).

200 words? Aww man. Is this

200 words? Aww man. Is this graded on a curve?
Actually, I think "diaries" should be just that. I think a breakdown of the game is great, but so is a breakdown of the tailgate, or some past stories of great days of M-dom.
I agree that smack probably belongs on the message board. To a point. I have respect for other schools and their traditions and fan bases, but I don't think it can be expected to show "Big Love" to Sparty or Bucknut Nation. But I don't think there's much point in "You suck," "No, YOU suck" postings.

that earlier after the switch, Ninja Football had a nice diary that explained some general posting guidelines.

"Why fO$U sucks"
"Why fO$U sucks"
Was that post serious? I thought it was someone posting in the character of the legndary Michigan Man from haloscan days. He's not actually back is he?
Also, I think the 200 word minimum is a good idea.
