Thanks F. Scott Fitzgerald
November 27th, 2019 at 11:55 PM ^
Scott Fitzgerald was good friends with Fritz Crisler, so he's well worth heeding.
November 28th, 2019 at 2:19 AM ^
Fitzgerald also gave advice that should be followed by every OP on this blog, especially after every loss and during OT season:
“You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.”

If we start correcting grammar every time we see a mistake, 15% of the posts on this board will be filled with this sort of stuff. Typos, autocorrect, who knows why mistakes show up? Sure, they can drive you nuts—but not as nuts as having to look at that abomination of a banner daily.
November 28th, 2019 at 10:34 AM ^
The “F” stands for “grammar”.
November 28th, 2019 at 1:54 AM ^
I am rarely if ever a grammar policeman but the misuse of "you are" and "you're" is comical.
November 28th, 2019 at 4:15 AM ^
Waiting for the day when all 3 will be replaced by "ur"
November 28th, 2019 at 8:14 AM ^
So 3 years ago?
November 28th, 2019 at 8:38 AM ^
Don't you mean you're and your? You are, is you're.

I think his point was the OP started with “You are” and then proceeded to use the conjugation incorrectly a few words later.
November 27th, 2019 at 11:42 PM ^
Funny, I didn’t see a Wednesday night drinking thread?
November 27th, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
Brian and pitbull are the same guy
November 27th, 2019 at 11:50 PM ^
I thought Brian was Mineral King? And pit bull was a time travel of young Greg Mattison.
Ok make it a drinking thread but i don’t dislike much and Pit Bull licking his cheesy ass chops is right up there.
November 28th, 2019 at 10:00 AM ^
Half the posters on here are AI creations of Brian to make his blog look popular and create revenue. The other half are his wife’s students doing doctoral research on blog anthropology. Which half do you belong to?
November 28th, 2019 at 10:15 AM ^
Evidently I’m the one that freaks out looking at pit bull after three bottles of Pinot Noir and decides to post about it.
November 27th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Alternatively, never change this banner. It is hilarious and pisses off the stupidest portions of the readership.

November 28th, 2019 at 8:45 AM ^
I don't care for the original one, but now I feel the Pitbull + Lovie beard is actually trolling MSU fans and I dig it
November 27th, 2019 at 11:46 PM ^
Sounds you like need a Dr Pepper, bro.
November 28th, 2019 at 6:25 AM ^
Or a Snickers
November 27th, 2019 at 11:47 PM ^
Fuck that. If any one of you so much as changes the underwear you’ve been wearing since the second half of the PSU game I will hunt you down and murder you. Nothing changes, damn it. The juju is good right now.
November 28th, 2019 at 12:47 AM ^
Underwear..
This guy, amirite?
November 28th, 2019 at 7:34 AM ^
Right? This was my first thought when I read the title!!! I mean, I don't like Pit Bull, I don't listen to his 'music', I think he's ugly as sin, and I'm sick of seeing his stupid tongue. But dammit, nothing but excellent on-field play since he's been back!
Let him stay until a loss, then torch his wannabe ass.
November 27th, 2019 at 11:50 PM ^
This is a meta joke I've never understood. And I'm here a lot. The fact that I'm not alone in that regard should probably say something.
November 28th, 2019 at 12:37 AM ^
Apparently you haven't been a diligent listener to the podcast.
November 28th, 2019 at 9:34 AM ^
Everyone knows the internet only has one college football podcast.
November 28th, 2019 at 10:16 AM ^
Wwwwwwwwelcome.
November 28th, 2019 at 5:36 AM ^
I don't really get it either. What I do know, however, is that Pitbull's music makes my ears bleed.
November 27th, 2019 at 11:51 PM ^
We're gonna have a real good time Saturday. Then we can talk about it.
November 28th, 2019 at 12:06 AM ^
I'm posting pitbull music in the muppet thread when we win.
November 28th, 2019 at 12:10 AM ^
I have never liked the pictures. And I don't see any connection to Michigan sports.
November 28th, 2019 at 12:25 AM ^
You must admit Pit Bull was way worse before they added the Lovie beard.
November 28th, 2019 at 5:42 AM ^
William Wallace, Mel Gibson, pit bull and Lovie smith all in one picture is the Michigan difference.
November 28th, 2019 at 12:35 AM ^
Pitbull? That’s LovieBull.
November 28th, 2019 at 12:44 AM ^
If we manage to somehow win on Saturday, Pit Bull FOREVER.
Let's have a real good time.
Also, please repost "i have always been here" to the front page:

November 28th, 2019 at 12:59 AM ^
I’ll be there on Saturday and I have a feeling the team will play like a Fireball.
November 28th, 2019 at 7:36 AM ^
Cheer your ass off, and the only reply to 'down in front' is 'up in back'!
November 28th, 2019 at 1:05 AM ^
I understand why you don’t like it. You could even say it’s got that one of a kind taste.
November 28th, 2019 at 1:40 AM ^
It's bush league. It's high school. I don't get all the insider 'jokes' in this place, nor do I want to. But I do know that bringing such insider things to the foreground creates an insider/outside divide, yet it does not make the inside any more appealing. Much less so.
November 28th, 2019 at 7:14 AM ^
I don’t claim to fully understand the Pitbull thing, but I think Brian or Seth said something about this team needing to have the same kind of swagger that Pitbull does to be successful.
That said, if you don’t get an inside joke, the worst possible thing to do it complain about it. That’s you creating an insider/outsider dynamic. When I don’t get a joke, I let it go or wait for context to bear out the meaning. There are a ton of inside jokes here...quit drinking and go to bed is another prime example. If you feel threatened by not getting it, just stay to the main page and enjoy the free content. Don’t make your life any harder than it already is.
November 28th, 2019 at 8:15 AM ^
Brian, definitely. I don't particularly like the Pitbull banner since it's literally my job to sell this blog, and potential sponsors see that and think we're not serious.
But Brian's the Editor, not me. And I get the joke and also get that people need a reminder sometimes that the cheekiness is part of the show around here.
The joke isn't that inside either. Pitbull used to do the Dr. Pepper commercials that everyone who watches college football gets inundated with. Then they replaced him with Larry Culpepper who was so awful we all wanted Pitbull back. Then it turned out Pitbull, this facially ridiculous pop rapper, is actually a pretty good dude, with a Mario Incandenza attitude towards life. The message is the world has plenty of things to be cynical about; maybe being ornery about sports all the time isn't the best way to go about things. Maybe we should all be more like Mr. Worldwide, make everyone around us better, and just have a real good time under a highway overpass.
November 28th, 2019 at 8:49 AM ^
thank you for context.
but now i have to go look up mario incandenza, so i'm still a step behind as per usual.
November 28th, 2019 at 3:18 PM ^
Inside jokes need to stay “inside”—featuring that Pitbull art instead of something Michigan related— during the biggest rivalry week of the year is stupid.
It wasn’t cute the first time and now it is just annoying—and stupid.
November 28th, 2019 at 7:43 AM ^
When I first joined this board ~4 years ago, I didn't know anything about it. Hell, I never knew it existed, so read about a week's worth of content and signed in. When I saw an inside joke, I watched for content. When I still didn't get it, I asked, and dozen's of people chipped in to explain.
Instead of acting like there's such a divide of people here, you don't you lighten up and enjoy some message board foolishness? There is nothing 'inside' about Pit Bull - it's nothing more than Brian enjoying his own foolishness, and is something he's talked about openly, both on the various podcasts and in his writing.
November 28th, 2019 at 8:45 AM ^
It was a running joke on the podcast which I’m guess you don’t listen to.
November 28th, 2019 at 9:20 AM ^
I think you replied to the wrong person!
November 28th, 2019 at 9:29 AM ^
Yes! I've never even listened to the podcast and I get the joke. Admittedly I think it's overstayed its welcome at this point, but like Seth said above about the awful Larry Culpepper ads replacing the Pitbull ads it could always get worse.
November 29th, 2019 at 11:45 AM ^
Many, many of us now live outside the state of Michigan ......
So, in fact, we are not "inside".....
November 28th, 2019 at 1:42 AM ^
Is Brian going through a mid-life crisis? No other rational explanation for a Pitbull banner
