97.1 just dissed Mgoblog
Lifetime score giver Matt Deary just said on air, "Mgoblog, whatever that is, is saying Pat Fitzgerald is in the mix."
Whatever that is? I know for a fact that during times of big UM news that they have gotten facts from Mgoblog and repeated them on air while giving zero source of where they got it from. News that at the time was only or first reported on Mgoblog.
What losers!

...burn.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:21 PM ^
I hate... absolutely HATE to suck up to random strangers and sound like a nerd, but:
1) I don't normally source what I say by uttering the phrase "whatever that is". Clearly he's a regular (at least daily) reader of MGoBlog.
and
2) Welcome to the 21st century, radio asshole. Goodbye newspapers and radio, hello web-based news and podcasts.

picture of this guy from 97.1 with your Beavis avatar doing his patented hand slap on this fool.
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:09 PM ^
I am pretty sure that it was Butthead who slapped people around, Bevis just got all cornholio and went nuts.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:21 PM ^
They'll say anything on Weenie and the Butt.
/weenie and the BUTT! Ninety-seven point ONE!
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:28 PM ^
Yeah screw Weenie and the Butt. I listen to Dingo and the Babyyyyy!
Dingo..Arf arf!...and the Babyyyy..Waaaaaahhhh!!
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:21 PM ^
are slow to accept technology! Matt Dreary should report weather with a name like that. in MIchigan for the winter.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:22 PM ^
Honestly, for all the crap we've given them, it's about time they got a jab in.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:23 PM ^
Ready Harry?
Mock.
YEAH.

97.1 is a bunch of clowns. They're too lazy to do actual research, and clearly didn't even read what Brian said. Brain was clearly just describing a suitable second option if Harbaugh falls through. Nowhere did he claim he was in the mix or actual mentioned as being contacted.
Clowns.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:31 PM ^
I wasn't sure how to take Brian's comment post. Was he saying that Pat Fitz would be a nice second option or that he heard from sources that Pat Fitz WAS a second option? I thought the latter.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:40 PM ^
I thought the former.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:59 PM ^
It also came off as the former to me. Also, there was no mentioned of any credible source or silent source thinking that it was a possibility.
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:00 PM ^
At first I wrote, "you thought wrong." So then I went back to reread what Brian wrote, and actually, it does sound like he's saying Fitz would be the plan B, not just out of his own ass but because he's actually heard that from whomever.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:27 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:03 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:32 PM ^
I agree with michgoblue. Brian didn't say he was in the mix, so much as that if there weren't better alternatives, he may be a solid choice.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:33 PM ^
Hey Leary, you're probably reading this. I'm going to call you Douche Douchington from now on
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:33 PM ^
97.1 the Drive just mocked mgoblog? Usually all they do is play Steely Dan.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:35 PM ^
Matt Deary also said he likes to tongue-juggle hairy ball-sacks.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
That he tongue-punches fart boxes.... I figured I'd add it while we're describing some of Deary's other skills...
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
childish, disgusting, and accurate.
+1 billionty
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
Mr. Deary's comment is merely an unscented fart in the wind.
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:58 PM ^
Of Deary-air?
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:39 PM ^
Hmm. Let's see.
Random news dude on the crappiest sports talk radio station in the country versus the founder of the largest college sports blog in the world.
Hmm..... I wonder who is more important.
Drink a knife, Deary.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:41 PM ^
I guess I'm the annonymous source?
WHOOOPPEEEE!
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
This says more about Matt Deary of 97.1 than it does about MGoBlog.
Nothing to see here, move along.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:44 PM ^
Thread will be epic. I really hope it hits 300.
Honestly, when I moved to metro D, I was so excited for FM sports talk. Unfortunately, all it does is sit there like a giant middle finger on one of my preset buttons, daring me to tune in so it can instantly put me into a bad mood for the rest of my drive.
Rage on, MGoCommunity, rage on!
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:45 PM ^
I remember Matt "The Diesel" Deary from his time at WDFN, back when I used to listen. Never knew the origin of his douchey nickname, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it was self anointed. He was there for ages and never moved past the update desk, whereas guys like Greg Brady and Matt Shepard kept getting more and more air time. All he was good for was reading off scores and providing a few snarky comments per show. It's sad to see him stooping to his level, as mgoblog is clearly much more relevant and a more reliable source of information than the shit sports radio station he works at.
Also worth nothing that he's a proud Clevelander, so probably not a huge Michigan fan.
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:05 PM ^
I think Dery never wanted to do talk-radio, he fancies himself a play by play announcer, and is pretty good actually. He is the voice of U of D Mercy Basketball ( at least last I knew). Dery also calls an occasional Piston game on the radio when Blaha and Champion are unavailable. Also for years now Dery has been doing post game Piston shows.
Dery is one of those Syracuse alums who ventured into Detroit radio when 1130 The Fan came into being, and hasn't gotten the big break he's been looking for, but I guess he is probably doing alright for himself
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
Just added 97.1 to this list
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:49 PM ^
Am I glad I called THAT guy...
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:05 PM ^
Hey! That's Richard Nixon's enemies list!
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:48 PM ^
Pat Fitzgerald to Michigan is a little hard to fathom. He is pretty much Mr. Northwestern from anything I've ever seen. Then again it is a bigger job. Figure him more likely to jump to another conference than have to face NW.
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:06 PM ^
I love this blog and Brian does a fantastic job, but Pat Fitzgerald is a zero-point-zero percent chance. He's a Northwestern alum and will not leave for another school, much less one in the same conference.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:50 PM ^
Well, when you're passing on a piece of possible news, of course you don't want to actually find out anything about the source or website that made you aware of the rumor.
That would be something akin to journalism!
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
is terrestrial radio.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:51 PM ^
Does thig guy live on Mars? Everyone knows mgoblog!
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
The Diesel was cool on 1130 AM back in the day, but now he and Terry Foster act like Valentti sock puppets. They want to lick Valentti's sack so much on air that it makes them sound like even bigger jackasses than him.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:55 PM ^
Well MGoBlog often disses 97.1 so I suppose it's only fair.
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:51 PM ^
My thoughts exactly.
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:57 PM ^
A 15 year desk jockey,... wait who was I talking about. Oh well
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:58 PM ^
or Section 1 would have torn 97.1 a new asshole on my drive home
January 3rd, 2011 at 4:58 PM ^
...on the Internet, whatever that is.
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:01 PM ^
Doug Karsch is good people
January 3rd, 2011 at 6:21 PM ^
Doug Karsch!
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:03 PM ^
Whats that?
<br> If you're going to listen to the radio- WTKA 1050 am for M info
January 3rd, 2011 at 5:04 PM ^
Way to shit where you eat! What a douche.
