Subject line says it all. Pretty sweet that this blog is getting a shout out from arguably the world's most important newspaper.

Per Brian's interview on 105.1 today, he said that the email story on the main page was probably the story that had the most traffic in MGoBlog history.
Whoa.

Now I'm curious how traffic Brian's story got!

Yup, and looking at the free Quantcast info lets us dig even deeper since they show unique visits, pageviews, etc. The unique visitors number spiked to about 3X normal this week, but pageviews was only about 2X which means lots of regulars were F5ing, and many new visitors just read the one email article.
Also, it looks like MGOBLOG averages about 1/3 mobile visits, but during the spike about half of all visits were on mobile, which means there were probably a ton of visitors from social media. And there was almost as big a spike after the Minnesota game/concussiongate.

Truth. My first interaction with the site was reading a post of Rich Rod's offensive schemes over the shoulders of some OL in class in the early spring of 2008. MGoBlog was quite literally the most informative source for actual Michigan football players for a hot minute there.
Coincidentally, Obi Ezeh used to sit in the aisle and take naps during that class.

MGoBlog was mentioned in the New York Times, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, USA Today, FOX Sports, the New York Post, Deadspin, Slate, the Chicago Tribune, and basically all of the local papers and media outlets. So, that's cool.

Not totally convinced that the NYT is the "world's most important newspaper"
October 31st, 2014 at 11:59 PM ^
Well, what would you point to as the "world's most important newspaper?"
November 1st, 2014 at 12:07 AM ^
The Michigan Daily.

I think he used it the right way.
But yeah, it's a phrase I don't use.

David Brandon is not a Michigan Man.
Brady Hoke is aware of what a Michigan Man is, but not fully aware.

Congratulations to Brian and Ace on the well-deserved achievement. It must be gratifying.
(I love all the whining about the NYT, too. Strong work, Section 1%ers.)
