Who is this and/or why should I care?

I'm just curious now though really who or what is this? And purpose? I really don't want to step on anybody's feet but I just don't know.

This is the site that gathered up the negative tweets out there against O'Neil. Then larger media outlets took it and ran with it to show that Michigan fans suck. Brian posted a front page thing about it today and said some not nice things about the journalism on this site calling them out for not providing any context around the tweets...such as the fact that they all happened to be posted by 15 year old Twitter trolls.

It says a lot that one person here feels the need to expend two hundred words and the other feels the need to expend two.

I like how he thinks "ad hominem" is supposed to be poetic instead of pointing out that it's used to say he's not making a logical argument but just being a dick instead.
Also, funny how he rips on Brian's "investigating" those tweets when all Brian's tweet said was that he checked their profiles.
October 19th, 2015 at 7:42 PM ^
Check the front page.
October 19th, 2015 at 7:43 PM ^
What the hell is Lost Letterman? They seem to tweet about mostly Michigan and OSU stuff. Never read the website but every time I see a retweet, it's pure shit.
October 19th, 2015 at 9:46 PM ^
I still follow their blog. They used to have a lot of really cool stuff on historical cfb (hence the blog name) but now its mainly just updates and a few sentences from them. Not as good anymore.
October 19th, 2015 at 7:44 PM ^
Do I take Brian's side for the up votes or make a snarky comment about the servers? Decisions...decisions...
October 19th, 2015 at 7:46 PM ^
When in doubt, server's out.
October 19th, 2015 at 7:48 PM ^
How pathetic he posts his side and then blocks Brian from responding. What a little girl! Of course he's probably fearing for his job, seeing as how Brian started the freight train down the tracks, that rolled DB right out of Ann Arbor!
October 19th, 2015 at 8:54 PM ^
Little girls are often tougher than little boys.
Just saying...

can we not use "girl" as a pejorative? seriously, what year is this?

well how could he have expected it inside the cooler when he sat down?
October 19th, 2015 at 7:46 PM ^
I'm suited and booted, Brian. Let's roll.
October 19th, 2015 at 7:48 PM ^
if they have a tweeter? If they once were lost and now they're found, can they see now?
October 19th, 2015 at 7:50 PM ^
Lost Lettermen was interesting, at least in concept, but now it's nothing more than clickbait. It's utter filth.
October 19th, 2015 at 8:04 PM ^
What was the concept? I'm seriously asking.
October 19th, 2015 at 9:17 PM ^
I thought the concept was to track former players. That's why I would go to that website before I followed him on Twitter. Maybe I'm confusing it with something else.

Used to have a lot of really cool articles on historical cfb events and players. I used to really enjoy it but as noted above it's devolved into clickbait over the last few years
October 19th, 2015 at 9:12 PM ^
Agree. Every time I've clicked on a LostLetterman link via Twitter, I'm redirected to the most convoluted mumbo jumbo ad circus. Can't stand it.
October 19th, 2015 at 7:51 PM ^
"Ad hominem"
I am literally lol'ing and I can't stop.
October 19th, 2015 at 7:57 PM ^
That was pretty much my reaction too.
October 19th, 2015 at 7:52 PM ^
Brian has a lot of social movement power...its actually very impressive and blows my mind.
October 19th, 2015 at 8:53 PM ^
Social movement? Like what?
October 19th, 2015 at 10:48 PM ^
Very loyal fan base, and a fan base that in general is a little riled up due to the topic at hand. I don't think the original comment is necessarily good, but he has a bit of a point.
October 20th, 2015 at 6:34 AM ^
OK people are riled up so maybe we post a lot on mgoblog or might even tweet angrily at people. Not exactly a social movement.
October 19th, 2015 at 8:00 PM ^
I just wish everyone would get along
October 19th, 2015 at 8:03 PM ^
What a bunch of bitches
October 19th, 2015 at 8:04 PM ^
He should've stopped a long time ago.
October 19th, 2015 at 10:24 PM ^
I know. He continues to just dig a deeper hole.

It's impressive when you see people fall apart on social media and then try to reclaim the high road later. It's like a drunk person who gets in a fight, gets thrown out of the bar, then tries to act all controlled and reserved as they are stumbling away.
October 19th, 2015 at 9:03 PM ^
That was me on Saturday against all my shitty high school Sparty "friends." I say "friends" because it was kids I went to high school with, not any actual friends. I started hitting below the belt, then backtracked by saying stuff like "I'm going to stop before I say something I shouldn't to all these safety school losers."
Sunday morning it looked really juvenile but I was in a dark place.
October 19th, 2015 at 9:22 PM ^
I've fallen back on "yeah, but... at the end of the day, I went to Michigan, you went to fucking MSU" once or twice. I was totally sober. I'm not saying it's a good look and it's without a doubt below the belt, but I didn't lose any sleep over it, either.
Sometimes, even if it makes you look bad, you just gotta punch someone's balls. Such is life.
October 19th, 2015 at 10:13 PM ^
I wil admit to pulling that card once or twice, but over time I morphed my approach into a form where I just attack the culture of the fanbase if people really won't let up on the discussion of Michigan vs. Michigan State. It comes down to something rather simply usually - I rarely have a need to discuss it (that is, the UM / MSU rivalry and its trappings), whereas they feel the need to discuss it constantly and long after it matters. If that isn't the attitude of a constantly aggrieved younger sibling in certain family dynamics, I would like to know what is.
October 19th, 2015 at 11:48 PM ^
Agree with the culture focus. I've also found it useful to incredulously ask "After a [display/comment/etc.] like that, how can you not understand why people call you little brother?"
October 19th, 2015 at 8:59 PM ^
So wait...
Brian didn't try to call and talk with them (just him?) before calling them out?
In some of the circles I run with, that might be considered bad form. But, I have no idea of the deeper context of their relationship - Lost Lettermen could be a shit site that doesn't deserve a chance to respond (See that puddle of filth, TMZ).
I'll shut up now.
October 19th, 2015 at 10:10 PM ^
I think it's a perfectly fine question to ask, but I think that we probably won't be able to know the context. Maye there's some kind of understood etiquette that Brian ignored. Maybe the Lost Lettermen completely overreacted to something insignificant. I don't know how these things work, I don't know the journalism world, I don't know the personal relationships, and I don't think I care enough to find out. Consequently, I don't judge either way.
October 20th, 2015 at 1:01 AM ^
I know exactly none of the history with the Lost Letterman editor, but it strikes me as very odd that he requested a call. That really doesn't vibe with my experiences with him (although my context isn't great, like I said).
October 19th, 2015 at 8:05 PM ^
I didn't expect you to have the decency to call me."
