Jay, how dare you?
August 28th, 2009 at 10:24 AM ^
Here comes Jay. He's our man. If Jay can't do it, can't nobody can!
August 28th, 2009 at 10:24 AM ^
I for one welcome our new Jay overlord. I'd like to remind him that as a trusted MGo personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in his underground Nate Robertson torture chambers.
August 28th, 2009 at 10:32 AM ^
Jay has a grandma/secretary ass, no question.
August 28th, 2009 at 10:32 AM ^
I had no idea, I hadn't looked at the point totals for a while I guess. Jesus, how does that even happen?
August 28th, 2009 at 10:41 AM ^
Or maybe he's just a good poster
YOU DECIDE!
August 28th, 2009 at 10:40 AM ^
You know, I noticed the other day he had 3000 and some, and I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't recall even ever noticing his posts.
Has somebody been upvoting EVERYTHING he posts? Does Jay have an alternate identity, the masked voter?
August 28th, 2009 at 10:52 AM ^
It's really not that difficult. Look at his posts. They aren't particularly witty or insightful yet every one of them is +5-10..
I sense an MGoPoint-Gate
August 28th, 2009 at 10:56 AM ^
And how, exactly, would someone "have your boys" upvote everything? Do you think he sends out a super secret email to all of his "boys" to make sure they + all of his comments?
Perhaps it's because he generally keeps a level head and doesn't overreact about every MSM story out there? Naw, you're probably right bouje. Boooooooo-jay!
August 28th, 2009 at 11:14 AM ^
Indeed. Seriously, it was a joke. I really can't claim to remember any of his posts, though.
I think it's the lack of avatar. He needs one.
August 28th, 2009 at 10:53 AM ^
And brought it up. Here was my theory. Although it does appear most of his points have 13-17 points.

It's like the cool kids in high school all over again.
Damn I wish I had a prom date if only I took Jay or Dex maybe I'd get +5 every time I posted no matter how pointless or stupid it is.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:02 AM ^
you aren't the brightest candle in the grotto, are you?
August 28th, 2009 at 11:05 AM ^
Don't listen all bouje cares about is points. I care about fruit roll ups. Don't you WLA folk care about zimas?
August 28th, 2009 at 10:47 AM ^
Bouje, don't hate just don't participate. Jay has been around the Blog a few times, give him his Due. Others obviously have!!!
August 28th, 2009 at 10:53 AM ^

EDIT: I've never tried to post a pic before, how the hell do you do it? Sorry for being a ritard.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:33 AM ^
Man, I wish I could +1000 you.
August 28th, 2009 at 10:55 AM ^
If you up vote yourself on every post you'd triple the point value. Unless you don't get points for voting for yourself.
August 28th, 2009 at 10:56 AM ^
have no lives and no friends.
People that down-vote themselves are cool.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:00 AM ^
Dex got 5 points just for being supportive of him. And those who were critical got negged. Jay definitely has some buddies on here. Either that or multiple accounts.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:02 AM ^
I love Grandpa Simpson
August 28th, 2009 at 11:04 AM ^
I think dex got those points because he was sort-of mocking Jay's typically negative (although admittedly far less so lately) view on things.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:19 PM ^
Just so we're clear, I don't care in the slightest about MGoPoints, as long as I'm above 20, and am just having fun.
(But I am going to up-vote myself for this post)
August 28th, 2009 at 1:27 PM ^
Here's 2 more points. Bet you had no idea what was waiting for you at 500!!!
August 28th, 2009 at 11:05 AM ^
Jay has been on MGoBlog forever - going back to the haloscan days, and his opinions show that he generally doesn't give a shit what people thing of him - he's not one to upvote all his own posts in an MGoPoint-grab.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:14 AM ^
Is this a glitch in the system? Why not just fix it?
August 28th, 2009 at 12:53 PM ^
He provides some balance to the blog and certainly is not one prone to drink the cool aid.
August 28th, 2009 at 4:58 PM ^
Good to have balance. Though it's fun to drink the kool aid some times, too. :)
August 28th, 2009 at 11:05 AM ^
He got +18 on the comment linked to by Court Wenley. I've never seen anyone get +18 for anything short of a masterful, long, well-researched post. Methinks shenanigans.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:09 AM ^
The one guy that posted the picture of the Shamwow All in for Michigan towel got like 40 points and every one of them was deserved.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:59 AM ^
Pictures tend to do that... I think I got +25 for posting the pic of the whale on the Charlie Weis goes to the beach thread.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:09 AM ^
Don't talk about Big Brother that way. They'll neg you in your sleep!
August 28th, 2009 at 11:27 AM ^
Bouje you are part of the bourgeois and the WLA and their Karl Marx klan are going to get you again.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:37 PM ^
post.
At over 5 points a letter, that has to be some kind of MGoBlog record.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:42 PM ^
best 5 letters known to man:
August 28th, 2009 at 2:51 PM ^
HEY! I resent that, I wrote "Testing" too.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:09 AM ^
I did not create this thread so that it could devolve into people whining about secret friends. We all have secret friends, mine happens to live in the place where the batteries go for the remote that came with my TV. It was left vacant once I started to use my cable remote for everything, so I told him he could crash there for a while.
Anyway, this thread was created so Jay could stand (or sit, as it were) and face his immoral behavior. I care not if he is supported by an upvoting army, only that he takes responsibility for his actions.
Preferably by MGoSeppuku.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:20 AM ^
Seriously. Why anyone cares that some guy has tons of MGoPoints is beyond me.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:26 AM ^
Honestly, this was all in jest. I don't really care about MGoPoints; I knew I would get negged just for posting this (and I was right).
The season is drawing near, and instead of yet another thread about 3 QBs I thought I would have some fun. I didn't go back through his posts and try to figure anything out. I had been wondering if anyone would eventually pass Brian though.
I had hoped that my overly flowerly language and weird tangents would show it's all just a joke. No hard feelings Jay (and your minions).
August 28th, 2009 at 11:24 AM ^
has ftty different mgoblog identities and is plussing himself into the lead. efact.
August 28th, 2009 at 11:27 AM ^
Maybe if Brian would post more, he would be in the lead and then this would not be a problem.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:02 PM ^
If Brian got points for his actual posts, it wouldn't be close.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:49 PM ^
Excuses. This means Brian needs to cede control of MGoBlog to Jay, right?
August 28th, 2009 at 12:49 PM ^
order to accumulate the points he has; he certainly doesn't post many comments. Checking, he gets 25 points for a "story." Whether that is near enough is another question - I suspect that Brian isn't really obsessing over the points he earns on his own blog.
Regardless, in the same vein of Jamiemac's comment - ITS ALL BRIAN'S FAULT!
August 28th, 2009 at 12:54 PM ^
I assume Brian can just set his points at whatever the fuck he wants.
