CC: Farewell

Submitted by M-Dog on

I just realized that if Jim Harbaugh becomes Michigan's coach, I won't actually find out about it on MGoBlog. 

The server will be in full meltdown mode as soon as the news hits.  It could be the last we see of each other for months.  

So if it happens, farewell in advance.  Lives will change by then.  People will move on, new people will come in.  Milestones will be reached in the cycle of life - births, graduations, marriages, divorces, retirements, deaths.

MGrowOld will become even older and move to Florida.  MGoBrewMom and Carlos SpicyWeiner will finally hook up.  WD will get married and have kids who will attend Michigan.  Brain will shave.  Things will be different.  They say you can never go back.  The MGoBlog you wake up to that morning will not be the same MGoBlog that one day returns to you.

I did not want to live with the regret of not saying a proper goodbye.  As each day passes, we get closer to that fateful day where we are all separated from each other, with no reunion date certain.  It will be a bittersweet moment, but there can be no joy without some sadness as well.  Such is life.

Au revoir, MGoBlog.

I don't know who this unshaven Brain guy is...but he sounds smart.

OP - you are being way too overdramatic.  I am sure after Harbaugh is hired MGo will be back online in time for March Madness.

We might lost some hamsters who die on treadmills but damnit this is what Harbaugh would want.

I'm more worried about a meltdown of epic proportions if we DON'T get Harbaugh.

Please, please, please Jim, come home!  I don't know if I can take another dong punch this year.

We are a tough manly fan base and realize you're not 18. Please come home Jim! We also don't call a grown man sugar Shane!

I am starting to love cc threads. How about we create one for every college team that will have a vacancy. That way we never have to stop having cc threads. Of course, after we hire Jim. We can poke fun at every college team.

This is the moment that the good ship Mgoblog dives from its orbit and enters the atmosphere into radio blackout. Truly no one knows until splashdown and the hatch opens, whether this vessel has been our lifeboat, or our sarcophagus. Whether those who come to retrieve us from the mouth of the abyss should find victors valiant, or smoldering corpses. Godspeed, my friends...and good luck.

"Well, here at last, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-Earth.  Go in peace!  I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil."

OP is jumping the gun; I thought they had hired capybaras to run the hamster wheels powering the servers?

for me to have a cougar, she'd have to be in her 60's.  I'm having a hard time (pun NOT intended) getting excited about that.  Wait, how many years of separation before you can call it a cougar?  Need some expert advice please!

I imagine Brian standing calmly at his laptop as the icy waters of internet oblivion cave in his office windows. The rest of us fight for the all too few MGoLifeboats. If only the mods had put more lifeboats on board! Alas, MGoBlog was thought to be unsinkable.

Whether Moss has a legit source or not remains to be seen, but I do think something is going on.. Wojo's tweets mixed with other rumblings make it seem like someone in the AD talked.

never been upgraded so that it can handle traffic like almost any other hugely popular website? Surely Brian can't be spending all of his millions at Zingermans and claim he is too poor to upgrade.

Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
To disgrace, distract, and bother me
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face
And the dust of rumors covers me
But if the arrow is straight
And the point is slick
It can pierce through dust no matter how thick
So I’ll make my stand
And remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn
