A career day for Lloyd Brady, but...
Lloyd Brady was all over the place today. I conservatively put him at a full 12 appearances, easily identifiable by the electric blue Under-Armorish longsleeve under this maize shirt. As far as I'm aware, this represents a career day for Brady. Even my girlfriend is now able to spot him in a crowd shot. But on a day like this, some clouds need to be found in the silver linings. Legitimate questions, I believe, need to be asked. Hard questions to ask about an icon, but that's what I do. I ask the tough questions others won't, like "Grape Nuts, WTF?"
So...
1. To what extent is LB's performance simply the product of playing Minnesota? Should we take today with a grain of salt, and reserve judgment on what kind of a season he's having until we play Sparty and the tougher opponents?
2. We've had five games at home. LB cemented himself in MGoBlog lore after stealing a long solo shot (looking sad) during the McGloin Rampage at Happy Valley last year. So, queston the second: do we need to see LB step up his performance on the road this year?
3. Question the third: is overexposure bad for a celebrity like LB? Great numbers today, but I admit, after about the 4-5th shot, I stopped saying "it's Lloyd Brady! Drink!" and let the girlfriend take over. She stopped after about 4 more sightings. After that, I started saying, "hey, I think that tall dude is Facepalm Guy! Drink!"

Stuff is really F'n stupid. Seriously. It's not funny at all.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:12 AM ^
you missed the point of this post
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:17 AM ^
Just want my 2 minutes back for wasting my time reading it. It's not funny, creative or interesting
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:32 AM ^
You're the reason EDSBS has a better forum than MGoBlog.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:35 AM ^
stop laughing.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:35 AM ^
stop laughing.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:39 AM ^
now I'm convinced.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:24 AM ^
Hoke gets it?
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:43 AM ^
If you don't like the Lloyd Brady stuff, then why did you click on a link that has Lloyd Brady in the title? Reading helps!
October 2nd, 2011 at 10:24 AM ^
Wow. For just 40 cents a day, I got that kid a sweet ass three piece...

OMFG. I haven't posted on here in months, but that, sir- that shit is hilarious. Nice work.
October 2nd, 2011 at 11:11 AM ^
So inappropriate but perfectly appropriate and funny. Nicely done
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:16 AM ^
With all due respect, you're acting like a little bitch.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:27 AM ^
Yeah. You caught him Ricky Bobby, you caught him.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:33 AM ^
Is not that funny either. Seriously, Thats what it takes to become an mgoblog celeb? You guys should be way better than that.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:37 AM ^
we'll make you an Mgoblog celeb for being more annoying than McFarlin
October 2nd, 2011 at 9:30 AM ^
That poor bulldog.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:40 AM ^
facepalm guy is ashamed of you
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:19 AM ^
Let me get this straight. You don't even have 60 points, but you are telling everyone here what they should and shouldn't do? You might want to have those control issues looked at. Or not.
Anyway, have a great day.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:35 AM ^
I could tell you what to do Tater. Only 3,000 more points and I'll be able to! Muwahaha
October 2nd, 2011 at 7:33 AM ^
why are you so old and crotchedy?
October 2nd, 2011 at 11:13 AM ^
Because I like funny stuff and think stupid stuff is stupid? The 40 cents a day comment on the picture below is fucking hilarious.
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:52 PM ^
Please shut up.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:18 AM ^
Nice try, Facepalm Guy.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:34 AM ^
That IS funny.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:28 AM ^
It was funny last year. I can't deny it's starting to get stale.

You neglected the most glaring and important question: how many games do we have to win this season to save LB's job. If we let him go, who can we possibly bring in to replace him?
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:23 AM ^
I think the question is more can Al Borges properly utilize both LB and Facepalm Guy, or do we risk Facepalm Guy transferring if his playing time is kept at little more than cameo/mop up appearances?
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:54 AM ^
When the chips are really down, and when the team is up against it ... Borges reaches into his bag o'tricks and puts Lloyd Brady & Facepalm together in the same wide-angle!
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:24 AM ^
I'm going to have to go with 8-4, unless we're non-competitive in our rival games and bowl.
Also: stats only count in first half. His pumped-up FEI-loving stats in the second half of uncompetitive games should be tossed out.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:40 AM ^
was introduced to LB today. Later in the game as I was working on some bbq...my roommate dan yells, "there's lloyd brady, I found him!" It was in that moment that I felt like a father watching his child ride their bike for the first time.
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:45 AM ^
Just saying... I also agree the LB thing is worn out...especially since ppl claiming to be his friends say he's not overly excited about his inexplicable fame. Why don't we pick out a random hot chick in the crowd instead?
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:50 PM ^
I know it's not either of the only two Sean Astin movies I know: The Goonies and Rudy. Other than that, I got nothing. If this clip is any indication, it's a must-see.
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:01 PM ^
I'm going out on a limb and saying it's from Encino Man!
October 3rd, 2011 at 12:41 PM ^
You really only know two Sean Astin movies? I was pretty sure that I was the last person in the country to actually watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but maybe you have me beat. Bravo for being unaware of Samwise Gamgee, in any case.
October 3rd, 2011 at 2:44 PM ^
Samwise. Loyal, trusty MF, that guy. OK, counting all LOTR as 1, I know 3.
October 2nd, 2011 at 9:16 AM ^
October 2nd, 2011 at 7:25 PM ^
because that would ACTUALLY be straight creepin
October 2nd, 2011 at 12:59 AM ^
But this post is a bit forced.
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:11 AM ^
The girl next to him today had a Lloyd Brady shirt. Just saying...
October 2nd, 2011 at 1:16 AM ^
though i'm getting tired of the lloyd brady stuff (I got annoyed at myself when I saw him last year and thought " OH LOOK!" then realized what I was doing ).....
I WOULD like to know how his life has changed due to his mgoblog fame. maybe someone can get him to write an article in the newspaper or something?
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:04 AM ^
If I recall, his parents asked Brian to stop pointing him out because he kept being referred to as Lloyd Brady in real life. Can't remember if that actually happened or not though...
October 2nd, 2011 at 2:07 AM ^
standing next to 3 hot chicks, I can't imagine thats a bad thing, nor do I have proof that wouldn't happen if he wasn't LB.
He still shows up at games and stands in the front row, and he still looks like one of the happiest people on the planet when Michigan wins.
