The first activity of Festivus: The airing of the MGoGrievances

1. Reposted thread topics. If you're going to start a new thread, read the first few pages on the MGoBoard to make sure it's not already posted. We've had several posts not just posted twice, but three or four times and it's irritating as fuck because it takes up front page space.

2. Properly label your threads. If it's offtopic, label it offtopic. Make sure people can understand what your thread is about from the title. A good thread starts with the thread title. 

3. Please format better. If you want people to take you seriously and actually read your posts, it might be a good idea to have multiple paragraphs and to use capitalization. There's nothing worth than seeing a blob of text with no capitals. It's really harsh on the eyes. If you have something good to say, I want to read your post. 

4. I reserve the right to add to this.

... I still don't fucking get it.  Nor do I get how a "tweet" from a 16 year old boy can get the people on this board all up in a tizzy.  It's a fuckin text message.  It really means nothing.  You are being played.

Honorable mentions:

Gary Danielson -- douche.

politics and the people who partake in the dark art.

D'Antonio, Saban, Paterno, and Tressel -- seriously, what horrible role models for young men.  Yet, they still are revered by the media because they win at a game. 

The media.  What a fucking bunch of insecure jackasses who care more about generating false controversy and ignoring real controversy than they do about discovering the truth and doing what's right.  All for $. 

Thank you for listening.  On to the feats of strength.

My grievance isn't with the board, it's with the bowl system in its current form: a racket run for the benefit of local old boy networks at the expense of universities and ultimately taxpayers in most cases. Fortunately Brian has been all over this. Just follow the "burn the whole system to the ground" link in the "bowl-lol update" paragraph in this post:

I'm not crazy about your face. That goes for any of you.

Too much negging, not enough MGoLove. Often half a thread disappears because someone's pissy. I posbang the crap out of this blog. If you disagree with something click "Reply" and type "I disagree." It's a forum fergodsakes. Sometimes its annoying how any actual discuussion on a topic gets buried on page 4 by 200 posts of "herp de derp" and pics of cats. I love that stuff, but sometimes that's the entire thread.

wrestle your father!

The automatic negging of any comment that is positive toward a non Detroit team playing against a Detroit team.

I really only have a problem with anything Magnus says.

posts that bother me on mgo, except for the obsession with MSU. For years I have been reading about how sparty is so fucking obsessed with us and yet every other post seems to be about MSU at times, and this year it was more like 80%, for weeks after the loss. After we kick their green and white asses next year, please only spend a week rubbing it in, then move on to the next game. Thank you and have a great holliday season everyone.

Even with the MSU obsession, I still consider you all my mgobros!!!

Go Blue

1. FBS College Football - Can you think of any other sport where you can go undefeated and not have any shot at a championship? No one in college football controls their own destiny. No one.

2. Board Nazis - As you can see by my number of MGoPoints, I don't post much, but I do sometimes. Mainly, I love coming on here and getting information and just seeing the funny reactions to stuff going on. That being said, sometimes it seems like a junior high bitchfest sound board. "Learn the rules" or "this isn't OT." What the fuck is it to you, really? If you don't like it, move on to something else. If it didn't belong there and it is taking up your precious time and space, then you're making the situation worse by writing negative stuff. Just saying.

Wow, that felt good. I am really getting into the spirit of Festivus now. Happy Festivus Everybody!!!

when my post is labeled as spam!  I never use swear words and I don't know why it is spam!   Example:  for the Halloween costume question, I wanted to know if Lloyd Brady was going as Lloyd Christmas or Tom Brady.  SPAM.  really??

As for a non MGOBLOG grievance, I am still annoyed that Armando Gallaraga did not get that perfect game.  He was out, people!  wait....that was 2010.

My grievances against are:

-losing to them four years in a row

-listening to their gripe about being "disrespected" by the sports media

-listening to their gripe against the common football fan choosing Michigan over them and labelling them "Walmart Wolverines"

It's on Sparty!

There is no Pos/Negbang anymore.

I dislike the pettiness that sometimes shows up and the occasional childish back and forth comments that have no bearing on the topic under discussion.

And fuck Ohio while I am at it.
