The possibilities are endless!

Cats as pregame speakers! Bubble screens on every down! Digital visits over instant messaging with creepy avatars! How could it go wrong?

This is the best idea ever. 

I don't want to call plays, I want to be the guy who sends out tweets about the football team. As long as I have access to Michigan Footballs Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts, I'm all for this.

This thread will be deleted like all the other fun, lightheated threads- only anger and gloom is allowed

Oh, I think we could leave this one. The previous thread by the OP really did need to go as it was a bit condescending and also generally not good, but this one strikes just the right note of humor despite being an extension of the thread which now gone. I think we can run with this one - indeed, we're doing well enough alright.

The former in your statement is not OK, of course, and people do get sent to Bolivia around here for resorting to personal abuse when it comes to players and personnel. We might not catch all of it, but we deal with the instances we do catch.

I think what is important here is to make a distinction between this and criticizing play - you can do that here and we can't speak to how informed people are. If you disagree, you can disagree and post your disagreement. It's rather simple in that regard. 

What you may not do, of course, is be rude and disrespectful to the people with whom you disagree.

fighting would start before the game.  Then it would be debated who started the fight.  Several coaches would be sent to Bolivia.  Then there would be a "First game as coaches" Posbang thread.  Then there would be a grammar/spelling argument, followed by a discussion of whether 2008 or 2014 was worse.  Refs would throw out all coaches, Michigan would forfeit.

Imagine the coaching tree that Michigan would boast if this went down! We wouldn't even have to "walk to Michigan" for the job when we could just reach for our mobile devices and coach from the cloud...
