META: Emeril Lagasse vs John Beilein for the MgoBlog tagline win
I'm sorry but the tagline we have up today needs to be changed. In all due respect to the culinary prowess of Emeril Lagasse and his seasoning abilities I believe our own Coach Beilein's "Win The Game" captures far more of the essence of both the board and the team it follows than a New Orleans-based, washed-up ex-Cooking Network star.
I mean seriously - did Mitch McGary hold up a sign saying "BAM" in the closing moments against Michigan State? No he did not. Did Coach B implore the team to "Kick it up a notch" before the final play against Purdue? No - that is clearly not what he said.
I know the hipsters will find using something as pedestrian and mainstream as "Win The Game" highly unhip but common now - is MgoBlog all about these guys?
Or these guys?

Don't get behind by double digits. My heart can't fucking take it!
I agree. with you though.
We can bring back the seasoning when Peppers is raising havoc against other teams.

Nope. 2012 vs. Iowa. A beautiful over the shoulder grab thru a pass interference penalty.

You're not new here, so why do you act that way?
This site is clearly about the top picture.
Next you'll be asking....
1. Do we really care about punctuation and grammar so much or the thought behind comments?
2. Do we really want to be ones who make fun of other team's off field problems or just support all kids who play sports and go through stuggles?
3. Do we really hate Dave Brandon's commercialization or should we be supportive of the growing revenue helping our school and program?
Etc....
What ever you think is the worse choice.... that is us.

I'd like to see the picture as a basketball net with a ball in it in the middle of a "nothing but net" shot from our own resident Canadian. With a side of back bacon, eh.

BAM . . . Win The Game

Can we do a banner tournament like there was a several years ago? It's March, let some of those with graphic design skills mock up a few banners and lets vote. Although, I will always be partial to Naked Man.
February 28th, 2014 at 11:53 AM ^
I think the MGoStaff is very proud of the current banner as I'm almost certain that's an MGoOriginal - Bryan Fuller may have been the one to take it. Understadably, they've kept it up for some time
February 28th, 2014 at 1:32 PM ^
Didn't Naked Man win the original blogpoll for the new banner back in like 2008, but there were issues with the rights to the photo's use?

What's the point of bitching about it?
February 28th, 2014 at 11:36 AM ^
Phil, Phil, Phil. You read my post as bitching? I'm hurt. I wrote it as a (hopefully) humorous jab at our glorious leader and nothing more.
You want to read an actual bitching post from me Lord knows I've provided the board more than a few examples: Al Borges, season tickets, student attendance, ect. This was nothing more than trying to have some fun on a Friday morning.

If it makes you feel any better, I read your post as a humorous jab at our glorious leader and nothing more in an attempt to have some fun on a Friday morning.
February 28th, 2014 at 11:39 AM ^
Yes Phil, what IS the point of bitching about it?
February 28th, 2014 at 11:27 AM ^
While we're on the META trip: What happened to the mgoblog Hall of Fame that Brian was taking nominations for?
February 28th, 2014 at 11:37 AM ^
Co-signed.
I liked Emerial as much as anyone...20 years ago, but we're in the here and now.
WIN THE GAME!!!
February 28th, 2014 at 12:40 PM ^
So you think it's time to kick the tagline up a notch?
February 28th, 2014 at 1:55 PM ^
In general, I would like it if the banner photo and tagline were determined democratically and MGoBoarders could submit ideas and candidates.
February 28th, 2014 at 5:12 PM ^
How about Rachael Ray instead of Emeril? Yum-O!
