META: All Hail The Glorious Server Hating God
I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR YELLING, BUT IT APPEARS THAT WE ARE BACK. GOOD JOB BRIAN. NEXT TIME YOU GET ANGRY PLEASE DO NOT HARM THE SERVER.
I heard that this morning, such a lil' brother move. And any sparty trolls who try to say it is not, you are deluding yourself as you constantly prove that you mesure your success of your program vs. us - just like a little brother does!
Here is the ring, check out the bottom right photo. I hope they have checked it for spelling as we know how well they do that up in east landfill
To take the ring celebrating a bowl victory over another team and put the UM score on it is the most little brother thing in history.
Little Brother is as little brother does. Their lack of self-awareness is amazing.
Nothing says "football glory" like "HARRIS #5 RANKING"!
I'm guessing Harris is the last name of the player/staff getting that ring. I really hope it's not a reference to the Harris Poll. Is that pool even around anymore post-BCS?
Yeah the Harris poll was last used in 2013.
Who'd they play in the Cotton Bowl? Michigan?
Little brother gonna little brother...
A googling of the issue shows a few interesting headlines: "Michigan State trolls Michigan with Cotton Bowl rings" and "Michigan fans react strangely to Michigan State's Cotton Bowl rings."
From our perspective, I'm honored we get to share space with "#5 HARRIS RANKING." But I'm trying to imagine putting tOSU or ND score on one of our bowl rings.
To be fair, our 2003 (2004 Rose Bowl) B1G Champ rings had the OSU score them. It was the 100th game, though, and we won an actual championship. Oh, and OSU was a top 5 team.
So, we have done it before, but in entirely different circumstances.
Also, for those unaware, we typically do give out rings for bowl game wins as well. Just don't make a big deal out of them or make them nearly as fancy as the B1G or national champ ones.
much different. we were big champions because of that victory. they were not cotton bowl champions because of their victory over us.
This seems to be their special thing to do. http://isportsweb.com/2015/06/15/msu-cotton-bowl-rings/
SERVER!
Never been happier to not see "502 Bad Gateway"
Okay, now that the emergency is over, can we PLEASE get a new server? Please???
I almost want it to stay down until long enough after our recent commitments for the idiots to get bored and move on to other distractions. It pains me that a kid who is probably overwhelmed with excitement about his decision to attend a university we all love has to come to the school's (and arguably the sport's) most popular blog only to find that certain members of the fanbase are unhappy about his decision.
I say leave it down for another couple of days.

Any commit that doesn't have at least 4 stars
I always thought there was a generally accepted rule about "Hello!" posts being places for positive feedback, excitement, and various forms of messages welcoming players to the program. I strongly support such a rule, and it shouldn't have to be explicitly stated or codified anywhere.
This is an exciting time for these kids. Accepting a scholarship offer from the University of Michigan is a big deal. They should be able to Google themselves, find these "Hello!" posts, and enjoy all that their commitments entail, including the excited reactions of the fan base. Their parents, family, and friends should be able to do the same as well.
For several of our recent commitments, these posts have turned into nasty threads of people criticizing the kids and questioning the coaches for accepting their commitments. I wish those people would keep their thoughts to themselves to allow these kids to have their moments without some anonymous posters shitting all over them.
Imagine you're a parent of one of these kids, and you come across a "Hello!" post for your kid. You'd probably geek out a little bit and want to share it with your kid, his friends, and your extended family. Instead, a lot of these parents are probably left hoping their kids don't find MGoBlog so as not to rain on the parade.
Someone needs to find that guy fetch and kick his failing ass.
The server must be powered by recruiting stars!!!
I do not even want to imagine what the MgoBlog staff did to this poor creature.
I mean THIS guy could barely power a toaster. I don't know his name so I will refer to him as Quadzilla!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4O5voOCqAQ
SFW FYI unless your work is against giant quads.
random shit...I typed "backend fetch" and this was among the results:
is going to be Backend Fetch
Next time, we need something more flashy than "Site Offline"....I have it...
Herb Alpert and The Tijauna Brass?
All I got was something like this:
Followed by hours of this:
which was only entertaining when accompanied by my Marijuana Brass:
Step up to glass.
I feel like I'm crawling out of the fallout shelter. The blog is still here!
