META: MGoReunion Event? Feedback Requested
I’ve been talking to various sponsors, friends of the blog, and a guy who organizes college football road trips about putting together an overnight event/tailgate next fall, pandemic-permitting.
We’re not even sure yet if we’d want to do this in Ann Arbor or for a road game (that’s one of the questions), but it would be out-of-towners, with a hotel, group tickets, an exclusive event on Friday, food that Adam Schnepp has never tasted, a tailgate Saturday morning, and time when you can go off and do your own thing.
It is not some trick to drag a bunch of MGoBlog friends and sponsors into an elaborate ploy between my best friend and me to get his Georgia wife to a Michigan football weekend; I really don’t know where you got that idea. I also can’t guarantee I won’t get a little bit emotional at some point if we manage to bring this community together in-person after the last 2 years.
Anyway if we’re doing this we wanted to get an idea of who’d be interested, whom you think you would want to drag into it, and whom it should be geared towards. You can also let us know if you have any ideas we should incorporate into the event that we haven’t thought of, or use that question to request the hummus be cat-free.

Dennis is working on the t-shirt design.
February 17th, 2022 at 4:54 PM ^
Forget the hotel, the MGoBlog camping trip is finally happening!
February 17th, 2022 at 5:18 PM ^
Little or big spoon?
February 17th, 2022 at 5:03 PM ^
Can we have t-shirts printed up with our avatars on them?
Seriously sounds like a blast.
February 17th, 2022 at 6:01 PM ^
"why is everyone staring at East German Judge's shirt?"
February 18th, 2022 at 6:31 AM ^
....can I put the Jessica Alba gif on the back? But how would you gif a t-shirt?
February 17th, 2022 at 11:47 PM ^
Oh absolutely. Already talked to UGP about ideas.
February 17th, 2022 at 5:04 PM ^
Further questions to consider:
- Will the no-religion, no-politics rule be continued? ;)
- How will we implement posbangs and negbangs?
February 17th, 2022 at 5:15 PM ^
Nerf Bats = negbang
Beers = posbang
February 17th, 2022 at 6:00 PM ^
Nerf Bats = negbang
Are we not doing wedgies or swirlies anymore?
February 17th, 2022 at 11:49 PM ^
1. It's Shabbat so...
2. That's something you're going to have to work out during off hours, but sounds fun.
February 17th, 2022 at 5:17 PM ^
Sounds fun, I have no friends ?.
February 17th, 2022 at 7:29 PM ^
I'm in!!! I really really want to see Timmay.
February 18th, 2022 at 9:54 AM ^
I'm not sure I want to see him. He may have a very punchable face.
February 18th, 2022 at 10:04 AM ^
Oh, you can count on that.
February 18th, 2022 at 6:22 PM ^
You know what? Fuck you guys. Both of you.
I stayed away from this, because I'm not into internet tough guy shit. I'm a little surprised, but only a little. Fuck yourselves.
February 18th, 2022 at 6:57 PM ^
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
February 18th, 2022 at 7:17 PM ^
Hilarious Bro! All anyone has to do is do a search history of your posts. Dude, you have character attacked me several times and essentially stalk my posts to post negatively on. You are the definition of an internet cowboy behind the keys.
I would love to see you face to face. Not to do you one ounce of physical harm, but to see if you can be tough enough to say what you say to me and others in my physical presence.
February 17th, 2022 at 5:23 PM ^
Make it at Indiana and I can save the hotel cost!
February 17th, 2022 at 6:18 PM ^
For all of us??
February 17th, 2022 at 11:19 PM ^
That's right!! We're all stayin' at Dad's house!
February 17th, 2022 at 5:36 PM ^
Away at Iowa 10/1? I’m going anyway as my son (recent grad) just got a job in Iowa City. It’ll still be nice weather, and another chance to show those Hawkeyes who’s boss.
February 18th, 2022 at 9:08 AM ^
Indiana would probably be much easier to get a large group of tickets together. Iowa not so much.
Go Blue!!
February 18th, 2022 at 6:38 PM ^
Plus Iowa is never a fun game. Unless sweating through 2 shirts and almost ugly-crying a couple times is your idea of fun.
February 17th, 2022 at 5:44 PM ^
Only if you know who is not invited. I kid, I kid.
February 17th, 2022 at 6:05 PM ^
I'm coming.
February 17th, 2022 at 9:40 PM ^
If it gets you that excited, be our guest!
February 17th, 2022 at 6:08 PM ^
i can see it now. seth, with the very best of intentions, is trying to introduce people to one another:
"this is robf. that's his real name. rob. f. and this is mgohillbilly. this is putingrad. and this is scannerblue. and can you guess which one is mad hatter?"
that's right! how'd you know. and this is blue@lsu. that guy over there, that's bootedblue. all the best avatars are going to join us! "
February 18th, 2022 at 5:42 AM ^
The real question is, which one is Maizen and which one of his accounts is he coming as?
February 18th, 2022 at 6:34 AM ^
wouldn't it have to be martini? 'i bet a half a cigarette'
February 17th, 2022 at 6:09 PM ^

Paging 'Dennis' !
Edit: all kidding aside, I'm in for almost any home game (other than the Illinois game, my niece is getting married that day [unfortunately her dad is a sparty but what else can be said?]).
Of the three listed road games, I'm already tentatively planning on a trip to Iowa but am open to any of the options.
February 17th, 2022 at 6:25 PM ^
Will the gravy be canned or jarred? These are important questions.
February 17th, 2022 at 7:01 PM ^
I’m on the fence. I’d really like to continue to hide my real identity and keep catfishing all of you into thinking I’m just that sexy.
There’s 8 home games- the plan is to be at all 8. I’ll bring the cookies….
February 17th, 2022 at 7:22 PM ^
We’re all getting tattoos!!!
February 17th, 2022 at 8:18 PM ^
And piercings
February 18th, 2022 at 5:06 PM ^
And body shots off of each other!!!!
February 17th, 2022 at 7:24 PM ^
Streaking?
February 18th, 2022 at 8:47 AM ^
Bring your green hat!
February 18th, 2022 at 10:11 AM ^
Seth said we have to attend in drag so I don't think clothing is optional.
February 17th, 2022 at 7:25 PM ^
If we mgobloggers get together, then I will get a lot drunk!
February 18th, 2022 at 11:47 AM ^
Drinking thread is going to get crazy!
February 18th, 2022 at 2:02 PM ^
A real life drinking thread? Impossible!
February 17th, 2022 at 7:32 PM ^
I get the top bunk.
February 17th, 2022 at 7:39 PM ^
I've always wanted to be mgoblogs bottom bunk
February 17th, 2022 at 7:45 PM ^
But I'm going to use your toothbrush when you go to bring us ice.
February 17th, 2022 at 8:30 PM ^
If you show up I'm keying your car. Nothing personal.
February 17th, 2022 at 10:18 PM ^
You can try. I'll be the one arriving in a rickshaw.
