The MgoBlog Lemon Challenge
In advocacy of the current pressing lemon denial trend, and since it's Labor Day (a day on which Brian worked) I present to you, in the spirit of "the team" here on the blog, the MgoBlog Lemon Challenge.
I've manned up and eaten my lemon, which was considerably less painful than the last seven years, book-ended by App State disaster and blow-out, which this lemon represents, and the latter of which Brian's auspicious lemon wager brings to closure.
Perhaps we all need to eat the lemon, as well as the bad memory, served up this weekend -- and the whole era Hoke has hopefully brought us out of -- consume it whole together and move on.
So here's my lemon.

I nominate sinsoftheschafer, Jon06, and Darker Blue -- OPs of three of the lemon threads below -- to take the challenge. You have 24 hours to complete this challenge.
Anyone who chooses not to eat a lemon may opt to donate to Beveled Guilt. Perhaps if we join to rally for awareness of this issue, we can appeal to Brian's good humor and bring in the Notre Dame finale week with a good show of the blog, the blog, the blog together.

Is it cool if I just eat yellow snow?
September 1st, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
The yellow snow challenge is one even I wasn't willing to take.

You dominated that lemon.
September 1st, 2014 at 5:17 PM ^
Respek.

As a lemon farmer, I hope to see many people around the world eating
lemons.

What if we added a charitable component? Mott's Children's Hospital or something?
September 1st, 2014 at 5:22 PM ^
I love it. Add Mott's Children's Hospital to the challenge.

This lemon business is stupider than anything Dave Brandon has ever done. It is stupider than Al Borges's 2011 Iowa game plan. It is stupider than running a pro-style offense in 2014 despite all of the blogs warning you against it. It is the stupidest thing ever.
September 1st, 2014 at 5:23 PM ^
Can't we have fun on a blog?
September 1st, 2014 at 5:30 PM ^
this is why we can't haz nice tings...
September 1st, 2014 at 5:48 PM ^
I am hoping that you forgot the sarcasm symbol? Thanks for a laugh either way. Have a great Labor Day!
September 1st, 2014 at 5:20 PM ^
We're a day removed from game 1 and the biggest topic of conversation is not something wrong/concerning with the team, but rather...lemons.
I had almost forgotten what it was like to live as a M fan without a nagging dread for the rest of the season.
September 1st, 2014 at 5:25 PM ^
We gave up a TD tho...DOOM!!! And who is going to start on the Oline this Saturday?

I Pos'd you for this. Perspective indeed. Feels great.
Here to being all about lemons and Kate's tatas the Monday after the Ohio State game.
September 1st, 2014 at 7:30 PM ^
if Brian eats the lemon and posts the video.
September 1st, 2014 at 5:23 PM ^
It's nutritious!
September 1st, 2014 at 5:24 PM ^
MGoBlog could start a charity with this?
September 1st, 2014 at 5:28 PM ^
Hopefully, the OP does not mind the embed. Actually, this is rather impressive.
September 1st, 2014 at 6:11 PM ^
that Mark Schlereth is eating a lemon on Mgoblog.
Seriously, to the OP, you win the internet today. Well played.
September 1st, 2014 at 7:47 PM ^
Actually, my first thread. Seemed too opportune to pass up.
September 1st, 2014 at 10:40 PM ^
Thanks wigeon!
September 1st, 2014 at 5:31 PM ^
Hey guys, I lost 500 to a sports book, but I'm not going to pay until a bunch of you other guys also pay him $500.

Jump on it, Dave!
September 1st, 2014 at 8:19 PM ^
That's hilarious. Props to the sweet name improvement.
September 1st, 2014 at 6:05 PM ^
Brian, you seem to be under a lot of fire from these blood thirsty animals. For a simple fee of $10000 a day I will be your personal bodyguard and eat all the lemons these maniacs can throw at you. Please consider my very reasonable offer.
Your buddy,
Bossman

We definitely need to raise awareness for MGoBlog / Michigan in general...
Some people think we have a back named "De'Veon Bell" ... and no that wasn't a typo in the article.

September 1st, 2014 at 6:17 PM ^
with some salt and a shot of tequila.
September 1st, 2014 at 6:20 PM ^
For real though.. You made that lemon your bitch.
September 1st, 2014 at 6:21 PM ^
I believe this what is called "making a mountain out of a mole hill."
I am however very amused by this whole thing.
Brian and Ace should both share a lemon. They can call it...."Two dudes one lemon."
September 1st, 2014 at 6:58 PM ^
As long as it isn't a lemon party...
September 1st, 2014 at 6:27 PM ^
Where did you get that shirt though? I really like it.
September 1st, 2014 at 8:22 PM ^
MDen if I recall. Three years ago before the Michigan/Iowa game.
September 1st, 2014 at 6:33 PM ^
Good work. And way to hammer that lemon

If a challenged person does not complete the lemon-suck within 24 hours then what? They are required to do something unpleasant, like eat a lemon?
Also, I noticed that the in the posted video only one empty rind is displayed, which clearly leaves us on a sour note with a "Second Rind Controversy". Unless, of course, separate video comes to light from a slight different angle and shot by a certain Zapruder.
Lastly, as previously mentioned, I have changed my avatar to a lemon until Brian eats a lemon and restores proper disorder to this site.
(this is what happens after a decisive, controversy and injury free win happens...alas it's been so long)
September 2nd, 2014 at 9:06 AM ^
and not the far less palatable pith and rind, the reasons people quail at the idea of EATING a lemon in the first place! B) There's half a lemon behind you on the deck of your boat; don't slip on it.
September 1st, 2014 at 7:57 PM ^
I stand with this challenge! Do not know how to embed.
September 1st, 2014 at 8:09 PM ^
On YouTube, go to "Share" and then "Embed" and copy the text. Then here, hit the "Switch to plain text editor" link below the text box and past the embedded text.
Here's your video:
Nice job taking that lemon down!
September 2nd, 2014 at 11:09 AM ^
Wow. Peel and everything. You sir, have giant cojones.
September 1st, 2014 at 8:54 PM ^
It looks like you ate the rind and everything?..Nice work! Now if only Brian would do the same...
