Can't we all just get along?
It gets extremely tiresome to see the blue on blue hate going on in here. Gentlemen, this is your refuge, where you know there are other "super fans"(looks at Turbo Cool) and alum of the school that you love, who feel the same way about said school. JUST LIKE YOU!
Now I know it is a lot of testosterone floating around here and I understand and appreciate a good pissing match. But I prefer to write my name in the snow of the opposition and by opposition I mean the guys wearing the different color uniforms, say like, da bucknuts (which would be scarlet and gray) and our little brother jan brady syndrome sparties.(green and white) And lest I forget, dat damn school in Indiana who's leader, last I heard, ate their schools colors.
Now please can we stop the Maize and Blue on Maize and Blue hate? And remember next time you get the urge to have a pissing match the border to Ohio is a deliberate turn south. Aim in that direction. That way when you are done pissing at least your marking new territory.
I originally wrote this post as a sign of solidarity with His Dudeness who was calling for a truce to all the bickering that has been going on here lately. I posted it on its own seperate thread as to further this endeavour and solicit a cease fire. It seems to a couple of factions forming on the board that are starting to take over threads having wars with one another. Am just asking that we chill out on all the blue on blue cyber crime and focus our energy against the true enemies of the state.

We're supposed to fight on it.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:28 PM ^
No we're not! What, are you a [rival mascot] or something?
...Although I just have to say that it's weird picking a fight by saying we're not supposed to fight on the internet.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:38 PM ^
No, it is for porn.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:40 PM ^
Only 75% of the time.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:26 PM ^
Just because everyone on here is a Michigan fan does not give them the right to be jackasses and it doesn't preclude others from pointing that out.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:29 PM ^
If you're a Michigan fan and being illogical and wrong-headed, I will naturally try to set you straight. Otherwise, I'd just shake my head and say "Consider the source," as I looked at your sad Sparty opinions.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:36 PM ^
You are a jackass.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:40 PM ^
Or him Chris?
February 19th, 2009 at 2:51 PM ^
I didn't even realize that we had multiple Chris's here.... hmmm, why should I reveal the answer when I can offend everyone at once?! Any other Chris's out there that want in on this?
Actually, Other Chris's post went up when I was responding to Chrisgocomment. And it wasn't actually a legit shot at the guy... I've been a true fan of gocomment ever since the now-legendary DRUNKEN PROCLAMATION after (I believe) the Wisconsin game.
Definitely one of those 'all in good fun' digs...
February 19th, 2009 at 3:03 PM ^
I didn't take it as a dig, I thought it was funny.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:40 PM ^
Exactly, thank you.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:05 PM ^
It seems to a couple of factions forming on the board that are starting to take over threads having wars with one another.
Dude, you guys want to form an alliance? We'll be just like Jim and Dwight!
February 19th, 2009 at 3:32 PM ^
Absolutely I do.
[to camera]: Whenever Dwight offers a secret alliance, the proper response is always "absolutely I do"
February 19th, 2009 at 4:51 PM ^
The Office is the best comedy out on t.v. right now.
I actually jello molded my coworkers things a few times
February 19th, 2009 at 6:57 PM ^
that is freaking hilarious. that show is my favorite, and i apreciate when i am around people and i break out a quote and they get it. so i salute the jello molded things
February 19th, 2009 at 5:21 PM ^
Can't we call them guilds? Then we can be more like these folks
www.watchtheguild.com
Actually, we are more like these folks already than I care to admit.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:40 PM ^
Wolverine on Wolverine (WoW) violence dosen't make sense. Let's all help by doing our part...put a stop to this senseless action...until spring football.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:40 PM ^
You Ameture! LOL
Gosh I still feel stupid about that. Amazing how things can spiral with the help of the internets and testosterone. So Elno, are you going to hook me up with a parking spot this year and who was the guy that we were going to help out?
February 19th, 2009 at 2:46 PM ^
why EVERY SINGLE POST has to turn into a slap fight?
It seems that almost every post lately goes something like this:
OP: This is my opinion.
Crave Morehead: Something stupid.
Promote Rich Rod: Something about how that was dumb.
Crave Morehead: Something about how our recruits don't excite him and thusly they suck erect male parts.
Chitown: Crave Morehead is dumb.
Dex: Crave Morehead is dumb.
KSK: Crave Morehead is dumb.
Crave Morehead: Picture of something dumb. Also, something stupid.
His Dudeness: What the fuck are we talking about again?
Fin.
In conclusion I would just like to comment that this is the first diary in which I am have been mentioned by commentor name. Giggity Goo.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:51 PM ^
That is spot on sir. Especially the part about craven's picture of something dumb. You forgot "WolvinLA saying something hilarious" part. I forgive you.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:58 PM ^
I decided awhile ago to never again respond to Craven. Yes, I get your larger point, though.
February 19th, 2009 at 4:20 PM ^
It is so fuggin hard to resist responding to that jackass, he truly is weeetawded.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:58 PM ^
You forgot where Promote Rich Rod mentions he goes to law school.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:02 PM ^
Right. I'm going to make a post that says "Hey everyone, Promote RichRod goes to law school. At Michigan." I'll repost it every month or so for the new people. Maybe then he won't have to tell everyone individually. Actually, Brian, could we make that a sticky?
February 19th, 2009 at 3:04 PM ^
where you complain about someone using your exclusive rights to your avatar (it's still Crable on my computer).
February 19th, 2009 at 3:02 PM ^
you are in England.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:06 PM ^
I'm thinking of moving back, though. To Michigan. To go to law school. At Michigan. To become a lawyer.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:06 PM ^
See, I don't have to say I live in LA, because it's in the name. You should be "Promote RichRod and I'm in Law School. At Michigan." A little long, but very descriptive.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:08 PM ^
Los Angeles or Louisiana?
February 19th, 2009 at 5:06 PM ^
Los Angeles.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:04 PM ^
That's pretty funny. Comment of the day.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:07 PM ^
Am I KSK? Because my response to Craven always includes the word 'asshat'
February 19th, 2009 at 3:11 PM ^
Are you Big Daddy Drew?
February 19th, 2009 at 3:31 PM ^
Sorry you are KSK.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:47 PM ^
would help? Fewer long-winded posts complaining about the complaining.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:03 PM ^
True, but when you post complaining about the complaining about the complaining, aren't you just feeding the complaining fire?
February 19th, 2009 at 3:28 PM ^
that we could vacuum seal all the complaints in this one thread so the fire would consume everything and burn itself out. like in Backdraft. without the explosion and even worse fire parts of the backdraft.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:38 PM ^
Wait. Fire in a vacuum?
February 19th, 2009 at 3:50 PM ^
its not technically a vacuum. I guess oxygen-free environment would be a better choice of words. and it wouldn't start out that way, the fire would consume it all and then die.
but thats not important now.
February 19th, 2009 at 4:16 PM ^
baorao must have majored in English.
February 19th, 2009 at 2:57 PM ^
(1) Make specific topic headings on the Board;
(2) Make a 30-second effort to look at the Board and see if your topic has been addressed before you set up a new post;
(3) Don't justify your comments by "Those Who Will Stay ..." or "Michigan Man;" and
(4) Don't ask TomVH for updates on whether a sophomore from Alpena is going to be a 2 or 3 star, or whether he is going to commit before summer camp. He'll let us know when there is something worth knowing.
That should reduce some of the squabbles.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:17 PM ^
Some of us aren't that dedicated to this blog
February 19th, 2009 at 3:25 PM ^
Agreed. I think that this is actually a BIG source of the hate going on. While all of these things are all good to do, it does not require peopole to mention it like 12 times in a thread where it doesn't. It may be easier just to ignore posts that don't meet your standards, as opposed to bitching about them.
Not trying to piss you off though.
February 19th, 2009 at 4:21 PM ^
If I walk down the street and see someone raping a dog, I tell them to stop.
If I see someone posting utterly terrible shit, I make fun of them until they stop it or leave.
Same thing. Don't let crime go unpunished.
February 19th, 2009 at 4:54 PM ^
Wait, raping a dog is a crime?
February 19th, 2009 at 4:58 PM ^
whether or not there is a current Poet Laureate here at MgoBlog, but rather how much Brian pays you at this position.
Pure literary art. Even for the WLA.
Someday hot blond students in maize and blue hoodies will be rushing down State Street trying not be late to their Advanced Prose in the Work of Dex class.
February 20th, 2009 at 12:06 AM ^
I am a fan of Dex's humor. I even put a post up once calling his writing "mid evil" in the hopes that he would attack the obvious opening but that bastard just let it slide...lol Damn it Dex, I am worth being trashed on a post too. You lousy bastard!
*gaffaws at my lame attempt to make a funny*
February 20th, 2009 at 1:56 AM ^
You can't rape a dog. Rape implies the cognitive ability to be averse to something, to specifically NOT want something. Dogs, I believe, are creatures of routine and instinct. Just my EPINION, but I think that dogs cannot be raped. That being said, I certainly don't condone sexual activity with canines.
February 19th, 2009 at 3:00 PM ^
I've consulted Rodney King, and he proposes that we all just get along.
And, Route66, Dude, I am good for my word. Get to Ann Arbor, and I will get you that spot--in the front row! (Just like Bob Uecker style).
And, the problems is not that we fight a lot in here, its that we never make up. Make up sex is the best.
I know the WLA hates me with the passion of a million suns, but that's a compliment. However, I will extend an olive branch to them. I hope the fire they all die in burns really, really fast so they don't suffer much. Just kidding. I actually find them very entertaining, and fun to insult.
So, to put it another way, time wounds all heels.
