Moderator Action Sticky 2015

Trying to compress the depression / bright side / introspection a bit here, so do not take offense if yours does not survive...

Yes, it hurts...a lot. BUT:

A lot of this is more or less covered in some threads that will remain for now.

Let's try to look at the bright side

The upside thread wins out for the moment.

Again, folks, no offense meant if yours doesn't stay.

The Return: John U Bacon

I am pretty sure the word "return" in the title of the book was more a cultural thing, with the understanding that the on-field results being not far behind it. That is to say, I think many of us in August were OK with 2015 being a transitional 8-4-ish year. Obviously, not excusing today, but I feel we should remember these things. 

Some threads that are eerily like other threads we've allowed...

That which shall not be named!

No Drew Sharp.

Reality - get over it, move on

Let's try to cap the "perspective" threads a bit. No offense meant to the OP here.

The punt question...

Perspective: Mushroom Cloud, Offense

Again, I think we're good on these threads for now.

I lost the tab with the "What Do We Call This?" game, but that's gone, as well as this - 

Second guessing coaching staff

Yeah....very little explanation needed there.

Dantonio's Hubris

This has been up and down a few times now. 

*Epilogue

We're getting past the let it burn timeframe, stricter thread standards going forward.

Same. Plus, thread titles, man.

Should Jabrill Peppers be moved to offense full time?

People have asked this in threads - the obvious answer is "no".

UM Playoff Scenario

There have been numerous threads discussing this and the BTCG over the last 36 hours or so. I believe we've established that this will not happen this year most likely.

U-M pulls Matt Falcon's offer

Title not entirely accurate. Also, already covered extensively here.

Confusion: I haz it.

Michael Smith and Jemel Hill Michigan-MSU rant part II

...and...

OT: Jemele Hill is Quintessential Sparty

...and patrolling this board the last few days....

Could it be that the Saprtan fan base is becoming just as bad or worse than the Ohio State fan base??

Why the MSU fanbase is not worse than OSU

No new info on common threads/older stories.

Also all of the comments in that thread.

Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

Let's see what Mr. Humphries thinks of this....

INTERESTING PERSPECTIVE ON THE MSU GAME

Yeah, as tired as people are of it, we will probably have to concede (because if not that person, then someone else, so you might as well leave one to contain the discussion) the odd thread for the next couple days (as in, one.....maybe two if someone actually has a truly new wrinkle on it), but it definitely will get to a point where:

This one's dedicated to Mr. O'niel

It's nine o'clock on a saturday....

There has to be a point where we've said enough...

This one's dedicated to MGOBLOG

There will not be any threads from the OP for a while. Clearly, it was their wish. 

OT: Kirk Cousins post game - "You like that?"

I think someone in this thread put it best - "Let's not be them".

Also, yeah, if I led the biggest comeback in team history, I'd be rather excited too. 

Harbaugh's Halloween Advice

It was pushed off the front page a couple hours ago, but it was posted already. 

It is good advice, of couse. 

Confucius Harbaugh

Probably too late to salvage this one honestly....some good analysis of the statement was in the thread actually, but mostly classic MGoSnark.

Trey Burke in the NBA so far

There are times I am happy it is not possible to rescue some threads, because yeah, they started badly and won't end well....

Jugs can be found here. I have also heard a rumor that many types of jugs are available on the internet.

NY Daily writer harrassing Peppers, posts phone number

Let's not give the NY Daily News more reasons to protract an unsubstantiated claim. 

If there are multiple threads projecting multiple M players to win the Heisman, MGoBoard divides by zero. True story.

If's and buts

We've had a couple "Wouldn't it be nice?" threads regarding Peppers and Heisman status in the last 24 hours.

UM vs OSU Noon Kickoff

Already a thread on this. 

Today is Brady Hoke's birthday, Reply to send him your wishes..

The sentiment seems thoughtful enough until you read the OP's sole statement of "enjoy the Michigan money while you can", which sort of leads me to believe that the OP was expecting similar less-than-cordial responses. We're better than this, I believe.

Personal opinions of Hoke's time here aside, surely we can muster up a nice, civil "Happy Birthday".

Harbaugh: "I take a vitamin every day, it's called steak."

Already covered in a thread last night. Great quote, of course.

ChatSports: Donald Trump to Buy the Detroit Lions

Yeah, no ChatSports, please, for they still employ he who shall not be named.

Borderline at best and OP has a long history of poorly thought out threads. If you're interested in the better comments on this topic I'd recommend clicking on StephenRJKass' posting history the next time you see him comment, but that's just me.

Semi-OT: Fred Jackson named HC of Ypsi Community

There is no way that Fred Jackson is semi-OT or OT of any kind, of course.

Also, we've covered it. 

QB comparison - Just gonna leave this here

...and then there are those times when you feel compelled to compare apples to the fan shroud of a 1973 Camaro.

MGoWeather

The posts usually come in the evening before the game, and as it is now up in the diary section per usual, we no longer need this thread wondering where MGoWeather is.

I feel like my edit in the first OP explains things pretty well.

If not, the good that will be gained with comments here will be less than the problems created. As I said in the original, that sucks. I still believe it to be true.

From what I understand about light and perception of color, even an OP with pictures wouldn't be very helpful.

Michigan #15 in AP

We'll go with the existing poll thread and consolidate the discussion.

Usually don't leave a note for threads asking to be taken down but I had two thoughts I'd like to share (if anyone cares, although you are reading this so maybe you do).

• M-Dog: Kind of like a coach trying to take wings off a player's helmet, amirite?
• Looking at the title of the first thread, that's another reason we need informative thread titles. For this it should have been something like "Kalis without helmet stickers, any ideas?" or something similar. That's informative and would show in any relevent search.

Photoshop Fun: Karma

Way too late to salvage this. Also, I think we've had our fill of such threads.

Could Jabrill Peppers Play Quarterback Next Year?

Could Jabrill Peppers coach next season ?

Daelin Hayes on OSU Visit: Players Offered Six Figure Jobs Because of Opportunities Meyer Presented to Them

Yeah, as some mentioned in the thread, there's nothing wrong with using your university connections to get opportunities once you've graduated. 

CFP Rankings Discussion

We'll go with the larger thread that specifically mentions Michigan's position. No offense to the OP - we just don't need two discussions going.
