Mgoblue and Arby's subliminal "Go Big Blue"

I was searching around MGoBlue.com today when the ad at the top caught my eye.  At first glimpse, I thought the sign read "GO BIG BLUE."  I feel like this ad is somehow the subliminal cause to the "Big Blue" craze and not Lee Corso.  I would suggest a boycott of Arby's for creating the ad, but I think the Simpsons has already created that with the "I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's" line that will live forever.

Or perhaps I should just avoid the field hockey page.

because big blue is not a trademark and if you google it comes up "go big blue michigan" and "go big blue cats" and "go big blue giants"

I could care less. theres even a book about michigan that somebody wrote called "go big blue: the michigan wolverines story"

http://www.worldcat.org/wcpa/servlet/DCARead?standardNo=0886829798&stand... Thats the cover

just like nebraska, wisconsin, and cornell are "big red", michigan, kentucky, and new york giants are big blue.

Go Big Blue came about because we have lots of alumni on the East Coast. "Go Blue" has become mixed with "Big Blue", the Giants preferred nickname, in most people out East's minds. Considering the East Coast media bias, it's not surprising that it's gained some traction. This is the same root cause as the "Blue and gold" meme that, thankfully, has lost ground lately.

And Arby's is the best fast food place bar none.

In N Out Burger has transcended the 'fast food' label. Two double-doubles, animal style fries and a coke float is simply not equal to whatever the best meal at wack arnolds, burger king or wendys.

I don't think it originated from our fanbase. I think it's more likely that members of the media, who used "Big" to describe other teams, just assumed that it applied to us, too.
