I forget which game but I believe I saw him tailgating at one...
December 10th, 2013 at 7:37 PM ^
UM football was elite before Lloyd Brady entered the scene. Then he shows up and the program craters and now we're all trying to dig out from under the mess he left behind... I blame Lloyd Brady.
December 10th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
Don't know if he still goes to games, but he teaches at my sisters high school.
December 10th, 2013 at 7:41 PM ^
Perhaps, but it could be argued that the Lloyd sightings and photoshop threads were a key ingredient in keeping the MGoBlog community together. Without Lloyd, we are wandering in the desert.

Wasn't he originally just a regular poster who decided to start Facebook friending recruits? Rags to riches story.
December 10th, 2013 at 8:26 PM ^
Yeah I think he was just a regular guy who happened to get to know a lot of recruits really well - not totally sure what his 'in' was but he just started posting to the board, then his posts went to "TomVH: ...." then he was full-time then the World Wide Leader scooper him up. Rags to riches indeed

Actually, I started dating my wife in 2007. She's a Buckeye. I know what needs done.
December 11th, 2013 at 12:46 PM ^
Also, depending on how far you plan to take it, maybe you shouldn't have posted that comment. /EXTREME S
Thanks for owning up to the Buckeye thing...I was married to a Sparty but I "corrected" that problem in 2003. (No, not THE SHINING translation of "corrected.")
December 11th, 2013 at 1:08 PM ^
Just know that it will be for the greater good.

I know it's a joke, but I'd say Michigan began the road to losing nationally elite status in 2001, when LB was in middle school.
December 11th, 2013 at 3:34 AM ^
No, there was the 2003 Outback Bowl win, the 2004 B1G title, the win over Penn State in 2005, the 2006 season, and the 2008 Citrus win. 2005 had an all-too-familiar ring, but I put the decline more in the 2007-2008 period. In 2006 Michigan was one fifteen yard penalty, a scoring drive, and a stop away from playing for the title, and was as talented as any team in the country.
December 11th, 2013 at 5:03 AM ^
Going into the 2008 Citrus Bowl, Michigan had lost six of seven to Ohio State and had lost five of six bowls. That is very far from "elite."
December 11th, 2013 at 9:30 AM ^
no question that the peak of Michigan's elite-ness took place from 1997-2001. Our teams during those eras could be compete and beat anybody nationally. The John Navarre teams were still strong, but I began to see depth issues on defense beginning around 2002. The Tennesee bowl game was a real eye opener. The 2004-2005 teams were talented but very young. The 2006 team was our best team since 2000 but it was not as good as we believed while it was taking place. Our defensive secondary was patchwork with the exception of Leon Hall, and while our defensive line was strong our linebackers were not elite. I believe the Big Ten had taken a step by that time but it was not yet evident. We have not seen the caliber of players we were fielding in the late 90s since, with the individual exceptions (Woodley, Hall, Graham) being the exception rather than the rule.
December 11th, 2013 at 11:35 AM ^
David Harris and Lamarr Woodley were capital E Elite.
December 11th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
was an end that year wasn't he. I think he had his hand down on pretty much every play in 06.
December 11th, 2013 at 7:27 PM ^
His point (which was a very good one) was that players like Woodley and Harris had started to become more rare than they used to be.
December 10th, 2013 at 7:41 PM ^
Anybody else think the 15 minutes was over a couple years ago and think this whole thing is just tired now?
December 10th, 2013 at 7:46 PM ^
Me thinks you still care.
December 10th, 2013 at 9:53 PM ^
You never quite understand it until you disagree with a posted topic.
December 10th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^
I think that most of the Lloyd Brady threads were actually funny to read. Unlike the majority of bullshit, negative posters, and pissing contests the board has been reduced to now.
December 10th, 2013 at 8:25 PM ^
Agreed, old chap.

Can he coach offense is the more pressing question.
December 10th, 2013 at 9:14 PM ^
December 10th, 2013 at 9:35 PM ^
Sign him up IMO!
December 10th, 2013 at 7:50 PM ^
What about Facepalm Guy? Anyone know?
December 10th, 2013 at 8:08 PM ^
I always thought Shifty Eyes Guy is the real star of that gif.
December 10th, 2013 at 8:28 PM ^
I can't believe more people don't notice him. He's like 'Skeptical Fry' for the Michigan Man.

I also like the girl in the back who seems to be calmly sinking in quicksand (along with the "Oh my!" guy next to her).
December 10th, 2013 at 11:24 PM ^
I prefer McLovin there in the back hiding behind hair on the left hand side...

at the very moment someone introduced me to the site. But I am well, well past that.
The blank face / shifty eye guy meme and supporting comments are the main entertainment reasons I find myself on here. Despite the piles of BS, name calling and other sorted crap that goes on, I cannot get enough of the great lines and gifs posted on this site.
December 10th, 2013 at 7:57 PM ^
December 10th, 2013 at 8:01 PM ^
Yeah he was at a pregame earlier this year. Nice guy.
December 10th, 2013 at 8:05 PM ^
I could be way off, but I believe they had an interview with Lloyd Brady last year in which he hinted at uncertainty regarding future attendance and relative frequency because of the potential for an out-of-state move for him. He had said something to ESPN (the interviewer, in this case) about looking fo work in finance or something along those lines.
December 10th, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
Didn't he used to post here once in a while?
