Business as usual ONWARD
Got into the building early this morning and man the HYPE is real!
MW may have been the reason this whole charade happened.. I was told last night he really wanted JH to interview and wanted his boy KA-M to have an opportunity to show JH his methods and thought processes.
Literally everyone is elated to have JH back and for good!
Chris Balas is, and always has been a CLOWN! On3 needs to Move off CB ASAP!
JY, CB, BE, and NB are just a few circus acts that need a new gig.
CP could be an interesting fit as DC. I know AK would love to have him back in the saddle, but he does have a very young family and I'm not sure he wants to move back to AA and uproot the fam again. However sounds like it's option 2 or 3 as of this minute.
LF may have multiple NFL offers to mull over, but I believe they are hoping he considers coming home.
Some deck chairs may be moving around in the coaches room, as early as tomorrow.
Keep your receipts, and stay classy MGOBLOG
Cheers

Not a direct response to Blau here... more of a comment in agreement with him.
If you're too lazy to write out someone's name in a post then don't post at all. The initials are confusing and difficult to keep track of. I can figure out most of them but a good portion of them are unrecognizable and when that happens it makes your post impossible to understand.
No more, please. Don't be lazy.
February 3rd, 2022 at 9:24 AM ^
I don’t know any of them!

February 3rd, 2022 at 11:00 PM ^
Who is MW and AK?
February 3rd, 2022 at 9:33 AM ^
A key at the beginning of the post would be helpful if that is how they want to roll with writing.
JH = Jim Harbaugh
JH 2.0 = Jay Harbaugh
JH 3.0 = John Harbaugh
JH 4.0 = Jack Harbaugh
CP = Chris Partridge?
February 3rd, 2022 at 10:24 AM ^

Sure it can be annoying but if you go down three comments, someone (crg) has figured out all the initials. This guy is the closest thing this boards has to an insider, and has been for some time. His info is always pretty good and it is always welcomed!
February 3rd, 2022 at 10:17 AM ^
If I need another person to help me figure out what you've written in your post then you've done a pretty poor job as an OP. If I write a post in German and expect someone else to decipher my post in the comments do you believe I've done my job as an OP? It's an extreme example but not far off considering I need someone else to translate a good portion of the initials.
It doesn't take long to write out someone's name either. Maybe a couple more seconds than it would take to write the initials. While GhostsofJermaine's insight into the program is welcome, if you can't take a few extra seconds to type out someone's name then that is lazy writing. Plain and simple.
February 3rd, 2022 at 10:45 AM ^
Alright, but at this point, GoJ posts aren't probably going to change so you can either take the information in stride, skip his posts, or get bothered by it.
He gets such a big reaction about the initials every time he posts that I'm beginning to believe he is just trolling board members like you when he does it.
February 3rd, 2022 at 10:57 AM ^
Yeah, just kinda gives the whole enterprise a little more juice. People here seem to put it together quickly.
February 3rd, 2022 at 1:59 PM ^
We're just glad you're not a duck.
Imagine having to decipher that, and then having to sort out the various dialects of Mallards, Ring-necks, Canvasbacks, Scaups, and Buffleheads, not to mention Daffy, Donald, Scrooge, Darkwing, Daisy, Huey, Louie and Dewey, and of course, Ernie's rubber ducky.
February 3rd, 2022 at 2:09 PM ^
I did get a chuckle, though, out of the idea of writing a post in German.
Immediately, mental images of Frank Zappa singing German-language lyrics on albums such as One Size Fits All and Joe's Garage flooded the cobweb-filled corners of my mind.
?Fick mich, du miserabler hurensohn Fick mich, du miserabler hurensohn Streck ihn aus Streck aus deinen heifien gelockten.
Streck ihn aus Streck aus deinen' heinen gelockten
Streck ihn aus Streck aus deinen heiften gelockten schwanz
Ah-ee-ahee-ahhhhh!

I agree that the initials are annoying, but once I got the key I scrolled TFU to see where LF was mentioned.
February 3rd, 2022 at 10:03 PM ^
Exactly, love the content and even if slightly annoying it’s fun to work out the initials… it’s his schtick… and at least this way no one is going to neg him for misspelling a name…
February 3rd, 2022 at 9:37 AM ^
I don't see how it's lazy.
He always uses initials in his posts.
At this point, I'd assume he does it partially to fuck with us...since he knows everyone is going to complain about it.
Usually, someone provides a reference "key" within a few posts. It's not as though it's that difficult to figure out to whom he is referring based on the context.
February 3rd, 2022 at 10:51 AM ^
Mgoblog and Qanon are not the same thing. Here, we are allowed to actually make explicit, good sense.
February 3rd, 2022 at 9:37 AM ^
a.) beggars can't be choosers, and we're all 'begging' for some insight inside SH. glad to get it.
b.) wait for about 30 seconds and/or scroll down, and one of the many wizards of smart on this blog will fill out the quiz sheet for you.
February 3rd, 2022 at 10:33 AM ^
I can't speak for anyone else but personally I'm not "begging" for anything, though as you say I'm glad to receive the insight. However if most of us cannot decipher the insight on our own, then whoever is providing the insight has done a pretty poor job of passing it along to the masses. Imagine Seth doing the same thing in one of his UFR's. Seth has more of an obligation to be clear in his writing but in my opinion if you're going to make a post then its on you to make it easily understandable.
Maybe I'm just salty because I lost my secret decoder ring I got from that box of Captain Crunch when I was a kid? It certainly would have come in handy!
February 3rd, 2022 at 11:19 AM ^
at least you had cereal. heck, when i was a kid we ate dirt and we were grateful! captain crunch was for the rich kids.
to your point: i'd probably take the time to type out the initials if i was the oracle, but the fact of the matter is that it is very cool that GoJ pops in for some very interesting/helpful/accurate insight and the least of my worries is that i will need to rely on other folks to fill in some blanks. they will make it understandable and i try not to get wound on the axle in the meantime - they are my decoder ring. that said, this is what i ordered for you. some hurts just don't go away, but hopefully this helps. best i could do on short notice:
February 3rd, 2022 at 11:59 AM ^
You had dirt to eat? Luxury!!!
I had to get up in the morning, at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing ‘Hallelujah.’
February 3rd, 2022 at 12:11 PM ^
well, i didn't want to come off like a martyr, but since you're trying to one-up all of us, here goes. we weren't allowed to sleep, ever, and we did all of this while dodging live rounds of .50 cal machine gun fire, while having gasoline and matches thrown at us. and we were forced to wear ohio state gear.
top that mr iowa 68!
February 3rd, 2022 at 1:15 PM ^
I meant no offense by the "decoder ring" joke. Apologies if it was taken that way.
On a separate note, if the matches weren't lit when they were thrown at you with the gasoline then what's the big deal?
February 3rd, 2022 at 1:59 PM ^
i took the decoder comment in the good humor it was meant, and tried to respond in kind.
re: matches lit/unlit. well, aren't you the tough guy. bet you can't dance around .50 machine gun fire, can you? and that was during 'quiet time'.
February 3rd, 2022 at 11:40 AM ^
It gives off an air of "I'm connected, you're not, and I'm going to act superior to you."
February 3rd, 2022 at 11:55 AM ^
I always thought the initials were for a culpability CYA. We know GoJ has inside info, this way he can say “I never said that” if someone calls him out in real life.
February 3rd, 2022 at 12:02 PM ^
That is exactly how I see it. He is definitely sticking his neck out a bit in passing along inside info. No reason not to be vague to some degree for deniability reasons.
February 3rd, 2022 at 4:45 PM ^
MGolem - Are you SERIOUS about that Clark? It’s not that complicated to decode for one. And I’m pretty sure it’s nowhere near vague enough to claim he wasn’t sharing info.
February 3rd, 2022 at 10:55 AM ^
Considering GofJ is one of few actual insiders who will share info on this board, I will happily deal with the brain twister of trying to figure out the initials every time
February 3rd, 2022 at 11:25 AM ^
Was going to post soemthing similar, but we've had enough repeat posts, so plus 1 to you.
February 3rd, 2022 at 11:26 AM ^
I lost my GOJ decoder ring. I can figure out some of these on my own, but without that ring, there are many that I just can't solve.
February 3rd, 2022 at 5:14 PM ^
"why the face?" - Michael Scott
Ghost is an insider and I eat up his shit every time. He could type it all out in freakin Spanish and I wouldnt care
Wondering if he does it to keep that "insider flare" to him. Not blasting names out everywhere, making people (aka us) do a little work, and to probably mess with us a litt.
This is why I know Ghost is Jim Harbaugh
Hey Jim
