The MGoBlog Hall of Fame
I've been thinking about this for a while.
Lots of sites have this. Over the years Brian has been running this blog, there have been some truly epic posts/moments in time to go along with it. There have been highs and lows, times both hilarious and nostalgic.
I'll try to start this off...My favorite ever posts have been:
(most of those were on the old site, by the way, here is a link to it: http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2006/05/offseason-roundtable-2.html)
The New Math post : http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2005/10/new-math.html
The Florida Preview/ Open Thread post (for its epic comment thread): http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/preview-florida.html
The Northwestern 07 Game Review post (Debord throws rock!) : http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/thirty-minutes-of-hell.html
The Mike Hart for Heisman post: http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2007/09/lionized.html
The Game 06 Preview (when it was all that mattered): http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2006/11/eleven-swans.html
OMG WE HIRED RODRIGUEZ! : http://mgoblog.blogspot.com/2007/12/its-peanut-butter-jelly-time.html
Obviously, you come to this site for a reason. What have your favorite posts here been?
(and I need more words to conclude this with, so....JEDDAH – Pakistan International School - English Section defeated American International School in the opening match of the My Care Under-17 Inter-School Championship at the Eskan cricket ground last week.
The championship is being organized by Western Province Cricket Association as a part of its 5-year development plan of Saudi Cricket Center.
The eight-week contest will feature eight international schools with 15 matches in total. The event is sponsored by My Care Polyclinic under its awareness program of common diseases. My Care Polyclinic will offer free medical checkups to all participating students and will organize awareness sessions with schoolchildren. Ejaz Sheikh, representative of My Care Polyclinic, formally opened the championship. During his opening speech, he declared that “Healthier Youth” is the basic theme of this competition.
The match was off to flying start as Abdullah Khurram of PISJ (ES) hit the first four on the first ball of the match. The stunning firework by both the openers, Abdullah and Hamza, led to a brisk opening stand of 105 runs.)

has to be the "Eleven Swans" post from before the OSU '06 game - when Bo died: http://mgoblog.com/content/eleven-swans

Yes a hall of fame without 11 swans is not complete.

The "Lionized" post is a personal favorite of mine:
"Adrift on a sea of bodies, legs gone, head yanked back, enemies all around and pawing, Mike Hart stretches for the inch he needs and gets it. When Hart is gone and I am old and my mind flips through the rolodex of players past, this will be the image that lingers. It's his career writ microscopic. He takes his natural ability, and stretches it to its breaking point, and Michigan has a season again."
So true.

I see that you linked to Eleven Swans. I scanned the titles and missed it. The New Math post is pretty good, too.

The Game 06 Preview (when it was all that mattered)
So much emotion, we lost our legendary coach, and lost to the evil empire. Are we being reborn this year? I hope so, cause Michigan football will never die!
Go Blue

I always liked the QED post-Notre Dame 2006.

This will cause me to spend hrs looking back to find my favorites.
A lot of the lolmsm posts rise to the top along with the list above, starting with the post from yesterday. (i.e. The rebuttals to the AA news & Harbaugh kerfuffles over UM failing its student athletes.) Brian could have a very good book in the making if these were all compiled.

Whichever post where Brian was mad at the defense and said something along the lines of "The defense just sat there with their dicks in their hands, except Stevie Brown who tried to grab his, but fell down and watched his penis run for a touchdown."
November 21st, 2008 at 11:37 PM ^
ahhh yes, epic MGo greatness there.

I'd rather elect comments HOF. The top end speed one, the one where the guy criticized Pryor's on field decision making because it took him so long to pick a school, probably some more that people who didn't give up on Haloscan could bring up. And obviously Antonio Bass.

I'm hoping for a brand new Hall of Fame post today. Hopefully something even remotely upbeat.
