This raises an interesting question
This raises an interesting question
This whole article at ESPN's Wolverine Nation raises another interesting question. Do you think the following columnists and journalists read mgoblog? If so, do they participate at mgoblog under their psuedonym / nom de guerre? Or do they just lurk?
- Rothstein?
- Angelique?
- Sharp?
- Foster?
- Beard?
- Webb?
- TomVH?
- Sullivan?
- Snyder?
- Baumgardner?
- Meinke?
I really don't need or want to know their identity: if they wanted to be known, they would have already chosen to make their presence obvious. (i.e., if they wanted to post as themselves, TomVH is well known, and also Tim Sullivan. It would be easy enough for journalists to have two user names: their own name, and their anonymous name.)
Regardless, mgoblog is a great source of information, and I don't doubt that Rothstein, under some username, is a regular reader here. As such, he would know all the details about "Lloyd Brady," and this would have been an easy and interesting piece to write. I would think that any competent journalist would regularly read what is posted here, and probably gets tips or scoops on various matters of interest to Michigan fans. I've sometimes suspected that an article or news bulletin is put up AFTER they read the news here at mgoblog.
I also sometimes wonder how much athletes and coaches go to blogs. I think it has to be much less often than journalists and fans. However, with Borges' tweaks of Heiko, it makes me wonder if Borges lurks here too. Some of the coaches have to be compulsive football junkies, to the point that they would find a few of the things here interesting.

Went to the same HS as Lloyd

My brother had to tell me though since he was there while he was in HS. I had graduated some years before.
My avatar is me holding the sign for M's bball tourney game in Nashville this past March. Lloyd made an appearance on the sign. No one from Nashville understood the sign but everyone that knew anything about Michigan loved everything in it.

Because only now are we combining the super fan with the Internet age. Guys like the Brow at the Pistons games (and other Detroit sports), or the heckler at the Bullets games (when they were called that), and various other guys who we say "hey, there's that fan!" take on a mythology of their own now that they're not just a 2 second shot on a tv screen, but can live forever in replay and alterations online.

Big Nut can barely walk
Big Nut can barely walk
He walked with a posse into the stadium before last year's game. There were about 20 people surrounding him...most likely because he was fearing for his safety. Little did he know that UM fans don't act like animals.
He was also having a hard time walking because of his incredible size. He's really far too old to be painting himself up like it's Halloween.

The contrast between the two fans most identified with the respective programs at UM and OSU is very revealing.

I gotta ask
I gotta ask
What are the odds that this is the actual Lloyd Brady? Looks like this poster claims to be from Saginaw in a post a few weeks back, and so is Lloyd, according to the article. Plus the MGoStaff is pretty good about verifying supposedly famously people's identity (Tae Odoms coming to mind).
What I'm really asking... Will the real Lloyd Brady please stand up?

How does this kid not have a job? Clearly there has to be dozens of financial sector employers (at some level, at least) who read this blog and would clearly offer this guy a gig, no? I'm shocked. Maybe he can pull a Jamie Morris and start doing local TV ads or open up a local electronics store chain if that doesn't work out.

That's awesome he was on his way to give his Dad a hug. He's way more cool than Superfan and that other guy near him with the funny hat. I love their passion but the Superfan outfit creeps me out a little.
