I plan on going to Ann Arbor for the football game this year with a few other recent alums to scratch off another B1G school from our list of schools we've been to. Unless our plans get mixed up and we end up just going to Northwestern we'll be there too. However, once we finish our football tour, we probably will travel to each B1G school for a basketball game. If you wanna share your recommendation for which cafe' to check out go ahead, I'll add it to my sticky note under things to check out on campus. I can always start a thread asking for advice and recommendations for my trip or ask my friend who went to Law school there to get more input as the time gets closer.

I sincerely doubt it is worth its own thread, unless your girlfriend gave birth at Joe.  If by some chance it is worth its own thread, someone will help you out.

I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.

It is worth a conversation, and I am interested if anything like this has ever happened to anyone else at a game.  It really offended me the things that were said by Mich. St. fans.

Welcome!

Just as a general rule of thumb, if it's something you want to "get off your chest", it's definitely a good idea to think twice about posting it. A couple questions to ask yourself:

1) Is it repetitive? That is, is it something we've all experienced and discussed a thousand times before? We all have stories of bad behavior by opposing fan bases, and the topic has been brought up many times in the past.

2) Is it noteworthy? That is, does it bring something qualitatively (not merely quantitatively) new to the table? Take for an example, a study by a research foundation that indicates that OSU fans are statistically more likely to be meatheads. That's worth its thread, because it brings something new to the conversation.

In summary, one fan's tale of abuse isn't particularly noteworthy, unless something truly momentous happened. The typical internet adage "LURK MOAR" applies here; this community does come down harsh on "bad" threads, but the benefit of that is that you don't have to wade through seas of "Cool Story Bro" type posts to get the good stuff most of the time. Welcome and I hope you like it here!

I use a Mac (I use safari and chrome), and I have a glitch where anytime I try to access beyond page 1 of board topics, I see older blog posts, etc. Anything BUT actual board threads. Is there any fix to this?

first, you can click "recent" and that will let you scroll through pages sorted by most recent comments. The other thing that works is opening the second page in a new tab, just by right clicking and selecting "open in new tab".

Sorry to ask this but if you want to block quote a statement, how do you do it? Not sure if you switch to plain text editor then add something else then switch back. Thanks.

I currently have 138 points and I am not seeing any arrows to upvote/downvote posts. Is there something wrong with me?

is a set of two arrows for threads and diary voting, and then every comment should have a scroll down list and a button that says "moderate" centered at the bottom of the comment. Are you seeing all of that or no?

Hi,  My dilemma is this:  I have a great true story about Trey Burke but being new here I cannot post it yet.  I've been meaning to tell this story for months but now would be the perfect time.  Would it be possible to send you my idea and if approved post it as soon a possible?  I read M-Goblog every day but would never be a reguar poster or commenter.  The list would really appreciate this story.

Link in the "How can I bold stuff, insert images, embed videos, etc?" FAQ above no longer works. In trying to find it, I noticed a bunchof old articles in the forums noting it was gone... but it's still here.

In my opinion, a link to the "META: Embed Refresher Course" article here would be helpful. I found an older one which ranked higher in my Google search but didn't work as it pre-dated the current software.
