Bumped: Petition to Fire Brandon (Students/Alumni/Faculty)

Submitted by FreddieMercuryHayes on

I'm re-posting this to keep it on the MGoBoard because I find it important, and for some reason it hasn't been pinned to the site banner yet.  Maybe it will mean nothing, but this kind of stuff is all many of us have to express discontent and disgust with the leadership of the athletic department, especially for those who do not want to resort to boycotts for the players' sakes.

ALUMNI - you can sign it too.  You don't even have to remember your unique name. 

Follow the 'Login' link and click the 'Create a Login ID Now' on the left hand side, click 'create uniquname', and follow the instructions.  I haven't used my umich login in 7 years, and it took me literally 87 seconds to recover it and reset a password.  Just need your name, birthdate, year of first UM degree, and last four of your SSN.  Theoretically it also allows you to create a login ID for those who were alumni before the advent of the uniquenames.  Haven't tired it myself, but saw a '91 grad say they could sign.

Ok i tried to sign it but it's not letting me create an ID.  Does that mean the diploma I've got at home from 1981 is a fake?

And all those classes........

And that coach is gone for his lies.  It's not just a bad coach you have here, it's a bad culture all together.  I'll take lying about tattoos over rapists and thugs anyday.

Be honest for once. This isn't about players health. If you guys were 5-0, you'd all be saying that Shane only had a leg injury.  Pride is always before the fall and you guys can count on at least 4-5 years or more irrelavency, if this program ever comes back.  History will not make this an elite program again.  Sorry.

This not about a concussion or the record. No one was this discontent on 2008. This is about being treated like crap by the AD for almost 4 years while watching that AD mishandle nearly every issue coming up around UM's headline sports program. And if the program had enough organization to go 5-0, this stuff wouldn't happen. We all want the program to be elite again and stop making the university as a whole look bad. THAT's why we want the AD gone.

I'm not saying "my scandal is better than your scandal"  I'm saying that my scandal is better that your scandal(s). Rapery, thugery, sucker punching citizens, etc...etc..  that's a bad culture up there. However I love A2. Will be up there for the weekend.  I'm thinking tressel only lied about tats, hoke, well lets just say he's had quite a few "truth challenged"  statements.

Just curious why its right for this thread to get bumped. I signed the document...but bumping this thread makes it seem like "popular opinions" (like getting rid of Brandon) are more important than others. I dont think the opposite topic of keeping Brandon would be bumped.

Let the threads work themselves out naturally as long as they fit into the guidelines of the site. No need to exercise editorial control over threads by bumping threads that are the "popular" view on the site.

With the ridiculous number of new threads being started every few minutes, there is no way that this would be easy to find.  The mods are just making this available because it requires action.  A post named "My dog can coach better than Hoke" doesn't require action and therefore can progress downward into extinction.
