Free Speech Repealed Until Monday (Again)

Regrettably, a good call.
Begin circling the wagons.

are there people eating behind Henri? It actually kinda looks like Lloyd...

I recommend we do this next week BEFORE the game even starts. No Cil, no discussion during the game, nothing. Lock that sht down, but instead of Henri, put up that youtube video of a wolverine downing a bear. Title the post FCK. SHT. UP.

I'd guarantee victory if we did that.

mother fucker

Henri has made so many appearances around here I'm starting to think he is the official mascot.

how I'm still alive.

Good call, definitely. Could someone with the requisite points perhaps start up some open threads for hockey & b-ball tonight, though? Hopefully something good will happen, and some communal enjoyment thereof would make us all feel better.

Thank you.

Weird how expectations play out. Despite the desperate need to win one more game, I just felt like Wisconsin was the better team today. For, I guess, obvious reasons Illinois and Purdue felt very different.

I'm sad.

Prefer the pile of baby otters from the CIL of Death.

Probably best for everyone to stay away from the computers for a couple of weeks.

The fact that Brian can repeal free speech, does this make him the most powerful man in the world?

I mean, not even the President can repeal the first ammendment.

thank god. Too many emotions.

Then again, if BB kills tonight, focus and attitude may change.

right off a cliff...

Is anyone that pissed off? Wisconsin was the better team, I expected a loss, and there weren't any "get my pitchfork ma" calls. I wish we could have kept up our performance in the second half, but thus is life. We're showing improvement and I've got hope for next year.

The naysayers are not going to be happy about this one.

Does Henri play linebacker? Safety?

Mgoblog doesn't need to be part of a "Michigan Schadenfreude" (if they even know what it means) thread on RCMB or any of the OSU boards; your actions should help a lot. Besides, I think I will have to take an MSM vacation this week and stick to mgoblog, umhoops, and a few other blogs. I want to be somewhere where people actually think there is a chance of an upset in the Big House next week, and I hope to discuss UM football without the negativity in the MSM.

Brian,

Thanks again as we approach infinite pain levels.

To quote Muhammad Ali, speaking through a broken jaw after the first Frazier fight: "Get the guns. We're going to set the traps."

I'm listening to the BB audio. What did Evan Turner say to Zack Novak?

War Jim Harbaugh.

Wish I had gone to med school.

Right about now, some Intra-venous valium would help enormously.

Beer doesn't help. The bottles are projectiles, and the animals in the house wouldn't be safe.

If you get any more emails cussing you out, you should post a diary with the best quotes from them. It would make my season better.

I would be in favor of the restriction all week leading to/after this weeks game. The board is much better tonight than last saturday night.

This is going to be a HUGE week for recruiting and the game could have much larger implications than just a win/loss this year.

Informative basketball update:

Vogrich and Morris are Ridiculous. Vogrich sunk 5 3's on either 5 or 6 shots.

My opinion is that this is the same defense that couldn't stop anyone above MAC level all year. With the limitations of the personnel in the back 7, there's only so much any scheme can do. Cover up a weakness in one area, and it opens up a gaping wound somewhere else. As Brian has said with respect to football, 2010 can't come fast enough.

On the positive side, can anyone remember the last time Michigan basketball ever had a 50 point lead in a game?

I completely agree with the moratorium. What's really begun pissing me off, though, is the general decline in the quality of the discussion on the site.

The posting by "trusted" sources is still great. But, even the diaries have devolved into one of two memes: 1) (All caps used deliberately) "RICH ROD AND THE COACHES SUCK YO THEY NEED TO BE FIRED THIS ISN'T MICHIGAN FOOTBALL!!!!!!!" or 2) We can't fire the coaches, that would be suicidal! What did we expect without a real defense?"

The board posts are even worse. Most are not even worth reading. They're almost as useless as the debates on the floor of the UN General Assembly.

I would like to see a higher point total required. Its been suggested before that there be a review panel for new boards and diaries until a user crosses a (high) points threshold. Maybe that would return the discussions to topics more thought provoking.
