The MgoBlog Lemon Challenge

Submitted by Cope on

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.

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.

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.

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

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."

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)

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.
