New MGoBlog Banner? Is it time?
I am just a small-timer on this board, but isn't it close to the time when we start voting on submissions for the next MGoBanner? Last year, if I recall correctly, we did not get to use the one that won the competition (yevgeni?) because there were some copyright concerns. I don't dislike the current banner (maybe a little), but I enjoyed the competition last year and voted every day.
It needs to be naked guy
in handle?
haha yeah. The episode where the station keeps blowing up
little beaver!
props for Buckethead.
naked man
have gone, lets just award it to Naked Man.
EDIT: Oh bugger, beaten by TWO posters!
Pretty much says it all for the 2009-2010 season, doesn't he?
Hasn't this banner been up since before the start of the 2008 season? Could it be the reason for M football downfall as the CIL was for basketball last season? Hmmm?
Many banner changes over the past couple years. I think this one was put in place when we realized the last one (the contest winner?) had cursed us.
In retrospect, I'm thinking it was more than the banner. This one hasn't been particularly kind to us either.
For the record, this banner was put in place because the previous banner used copyrighted material or some shit.
I didn't realize that. Thanks.
for another banner competition.
also, a 2010 t-shirt competition.
HAIL!
naked guy x 50?
because the previous banner tended to produce kittens?
oh, and +1 for naked guy, as well as +1 for the Buckethead avatar
Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I'd prefer to see a naked woman banner.
So this old dude walks back from the showers tonight and did pretty much everything he could to avoid putting on underwear. Longest 20 seconds in recent memory: tying my sneakers as this guy bent over to pick up his shoes by the bench i was sitting on.
First thought: why grab for your shoes when you're not even wearing pants? That's skipping at least three steps. Secondly: man, you're not wearing any clothes at all! Forget the shoes, concentrate on your old-man drawers. Of course, he turns out to be a sock first guy. A standing sock first guy. All up in my personal space.
For an eternity this dude just stood sack-naked in a crowded locker-room airing his balls. Then he decided to shuffle in front of my locker right as I was about to lock up, prompting an awkward, "behind you, excuse me, damn you are old and wrinkly and naked" maneuver.
So yea. I'm all set on naked men, thanks. Let's see what else we've got in the pipeline.
what the hell is the obsession with the naked guy banner? I hated the naked guy banner. I don't think enough of you go to the gym, because I'm with NY: the locker room provides my poor eyes with more naked men than should be allowed to exist in the world.
Whereas naked man symbolizes the greatness of this blog and U-M, it is difficult to explain to your boss why you have a naked guy with a porn-stache on your monitor.
I don't know if it's the banner or leaving blogspot, but we've been 8-16 since leaving mgoblog.blogspot.com and going with this evil, menacing Drupal. Sure, there wasn't nearly the same interaction or level of involvement there, but since when would that get in the way of a superstition?
That was a cool banner. I'm in favor of bringing it back.
As for Naked Man . . . I think my eyes are still burning from exposure to him the first time around.
