It's Great To Be A Michigan Wolverine!
I also think that being a Michigan Wolverine means to BE GREAT. Yes it's a blast to see how great our 14 combine representatives are doing. But I have a lot of pride in not only how they played on the field but how they've carried themselves off the field and in front of the cameras. Integrity, humility and class. That cant' be said for a lot of programs and a lot of conferences.
Of course, we can't expect these young men to be perfect all the time but they are under the spotlight and have really carried the banner and lifted this school. I can't wait to see which teams they end up with and I'm positive we will be hearing from of lot of these guys after their playing careers are over. Of course I'm biased as an avid supporter for over 40 years.
At Michigan, we have a higher standard. We should have a higher standard. We've definitely had some ups and downs over the years. But it makes me proud to wear the block M when I travel frequently across the country.
From the standards in the classroom, to the excellence on every sporting field, to even the small things like this blog rallyiing for anonymous strangers in need. Supporting our teams and coaches and fans for the hands down best University in the World, makes me proud.
IT'S GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE!
GO BLUE!!
edit. I realize the error of my ways. Was watching the combine reports and feeling some pride. But I forgot this board was full of menly men who are here to anonymously rip every post they read. Lesson learned. Will keep my thoughts about my school to myself. (go blue?). Neg away!! You show great power in doing so!!
Loyalty, Integrity, Character. The Michigan way. Right on.
Higher standards of spell check?
"Itegrity, humility and class."
Who read these posts just to neg and criticize. Awesome.
OP: If you serve up something vapid, you'll invite more trollery.
I realize it was a mistake to post my thoughts. Agree no one cares about one person's thoughts. For a second I thought this was a Michigan board with Michigan supporters. But I've read enough posts where people rip on others for spelling mistakes, posting things that don't have significance in their lives. Defintely last time I will post such nonsense.
I appreciate your being blunt without being a dick.
Your post isn't nonsense, it just isn't worthy of being a thread topic. Same thing would happen if someone created a thread that was titled "Big House" and then went on to write three paragraphs about how awesome the Big House is and and cool of a place to watch a game. It is "non-news".
I'm sure you've heard the famous saying that misery loves company Michifornia? This all you ever need to know to get by on this blog and other areas. Remember that law of nature and of all beta men and you will coast through life.
Dude, you know if I don't do it someone will...
(and yes, I don't have the accent over the "e" so neg away!!). HA!
NOT FAIR! I was looking for pics for my post while he made his ahead of me!
Isn't it silly to post that Michigan has higher standards but then you leave a glaring typo in your post?
Just saying, brah
Why am I getting negged for this?
SOrrie,!? Gou Blew!
it's your best bet, though no guarantee in your case.
I see you're trying to be inclusive in your appreciation of all factions of mgoposters with your mention of trolls AND winners, but why are you leaving out the whiners?

Thank you for sharing your feelings and also upvoting your own "dear diary" post
Well if you don't believe in yourself, why should anybody else, amirite!?
We're having a birthday get together tomorrow, I'm going to order one. Veggies are good!
Did anyone else here "The Victors" playing softly in the background while you read this, but a version of the song played by a drunk quartet of accordionists?
Now that song is in my head, thanks.
The major problem with it, of course, is that the title is a take on "la petit mort", which is a euphemism for orgasm, so the thoughts that come to mind a not compatible with watching hoops as I am right now.
Nah, it was more of Spandau Ballet's, True....
We had asked the band to play "The Victors" when we came in to the reception room and were introduced as husband and wife.
They promised us that they knew how to play it. This was 22 years ago, so before the time when we could ask them to Facetime us while they played it...or even send us a video of them doing so.
In our wedding video, you can clearly see my wife and I making "shruggie" faces at each other when we entered the room...as the band was playing "The Victors" at half speed...and was thus unrecognizable to anyone but us.
I heard Eddie VH rippin it out through an amp the size of the Superguide to a packed Big House full of screaming wolverines (no.... literally wolverines) with their fur dyed maize-n-blue.
"... a version of the song played by a drunk quartet of accordionists?"
Any idea where I can download this? 'Cause the idea sounds awesome!
Whatever you are drinking/smoking, I wouldn't mind some of that.
What year did you graduate from U-M?
Was freshman when Harbaugh was Sr. QB.
just got their leg humped by a Unicorn.
When you're a Michigan Man.
For all the right reasons.
Is it still great? Am I mildly great? Like a good verde salsa?
Shane will make you great again!

Hell of a side effect.
I did drink my coffee.
OK, let's make Michigan great again! Beat Ohio!
Our fans are the top 1% of humanity and the fans of the opposing team are knuckle-dragging, neanderthals who are classless and uneducated.
Every call against our team is nonsensical, awful, unjust and completely off base while every call against the opposing team is correct, just and intelligent.
Our athletes are the top 1% of the top 1% physical and intellectual specimens while the athletes on the other team are cheaters who do not play the game the right way.
