OT: 2020 Predictions Football and non Football and year end reflections.
Reflection: My purpose for this year has been served. I caused umbig11 to lose his mind and create multiple accounts, which in turn led him to out himself as a fake insider blowhard. Thank you to the guy who caught his screw up, sorry don’t remember your name. Henne I think.
Prediction: Football - Nico and DPJ come back. Evans is the starting rb and explodes statistically. Dylan wins the Heisman and leads us to the CFP.
Prediction: Non Football - I won’t post here in 2020.
Remember.... these are just predictions “opinions” ??♂️
Happy New Year EVERYONE who is a Michigan fan. See you in 2021. ???

What are your reflections and predictions? Sorry that part got deleted in op.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
It wasn't deleted. You just didn't input it.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:38 PM ^
Actually, it did. I deleted it, on accident. Cuck!
December 31st, 2019 at 12:48 PM ^
I hope for the boards sake that your second prediction is more than an opinion. You're starting to out yourself as a jackass and your schtick is growing old.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:12 AM ^
Reflection: My kids are growing up too fast and it is both exciting to watch and sad/scary as hell at the same time.
Football Prediction: Undefeated heading into Columbus Community College
Non-Football Prediction: Trump 2020
I enjoy reading what you guys have to say and the things I have learned about football and the individuals here. Wishing all mgoblog employees and posters a happy and prosperous 2020. Go Blue!
December 31st, 2019 at 11:18 AM ^
I predict we won't have nice things after this post.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:32 AM ^
This post is depressing. And probably accurate.
Think about how stupid the average person is, and then realize that half of 'em are stupider than that.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:36 AM ^
Actually, half of people are necessarily more stupid than the median person, but it’s not likely that half of people are dumber than the average person.
The population likely skews left in IQ, and therefore most people are likely dumber than the average person.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:39 AM ^
Well you dig up George Carlin and explain the difference between average and median to him.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:40 AM ^
I’ll dig him up and throw him in the trash.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:52 AM ^
Are you not a fan? I don't think I've ever met a person that didn't like him on some level.
He got a little dark/preachy at the end, but he was great in his prime. And he gave it to both sides.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:15 PM ^
George Carlin sucks. That people quote that dumbass says something about the erudition of the country. He didn’t say anything profound.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
When was the last time you laughed? Out loud at something funny. I'll bet it has been a long time.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
I laugh all the time. George Carlin is terribly unfunny. I’m sorry you like shitty comedians.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:38 PM ^
Carlin got to be very cynical at the end, but he was brilliant. I didn’t agree with everything he said, but that would apply to anyone.

December 31st, 2019 at 12:23 PM ^
I actually don’t know his work very well, admittedly, although I knew you were making his joke there.
I was just making an It’s Always Sunny reference.

Not my area but wife is a psychologist. My understanding is that IQ has a normal distribution (obviously multiple factors and genes contribute) with its mean set at 100 and standard deviations of 15.
Open to being incorrect.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:52 AM ^
Undefeated going into OSU is depressing?
Letting the person who is president control your mood or outlook on others is loser mentality. Look, I gave you a free new year's resolution!
December 31st, 2019 at 11:54 AM ^
My mood is fine and I rarely think about politics these days. But if you can't see just how fucked up things are I really don't know what to say to you.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:27 PM ^
You don't know what to say because you have no evidence to back up the claims of upfuckedness.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:49 PM ^
I think when the wealthiest, highest GDP country in the world - which has been the foundation of and military backbone of western democracy (for better and worse) for the past 75 years is splitting up families on the border while locking their children in actual cages, and has lost the faith of the international community to be that consistent, stable, dependable force for certain agreed upon shared aspirational ideologies about human rights around the world, we have reached a new level of upfuckedness.
To be hypocrites or not live up to our supposed values has happened numerous times through our history (slavery, wartime internment camps, shitty criminal justice system, idiotic wars, wealth disparity,etc), but never has our stated policy, and preferred global alliances been with and of autocrats and despots, as is seemingly the case now. There is no longer even an effort to live up to the values we once at least believed to be worthy and just.
December 31st, 2019 at 1:07 PM ^
The US killed 100,000 people in single day. It put 110,000 citizens in concentration camps. It developed and used the ultimate WMD. It has used citizens as living guinea pigs. It helped Nazi and Japanese war criminals escape justice. It has launched multiple wars of choice killing millions in the process. It has aided and abetted dictators. It sprayed a country with toxic chemicals thus causing long term birth defects and other ailments.It has tortured. It has sat by while Genocide occurred in Rwanda. It drew a redline against use of chemical weapons and did nothing once said line was violated. Etcetera, etcetera.
Donald Trump and his kids in cages is way down the list of the atrocious things the US government had done regardless of the party in power.
Your post is the sanctimonious twaddle of those citizens who either are ignorant of what the government has done or just don’t care. Either way it is embarrassing in it’s lack of awareness of American history.
December 31st, 2019 at 1:26 PM ^
just curious if it moves the outrage meter when its obama and his admin that did the kids thing?
December 31st, 2019 at 4:14 PM ^
No. Liberals act on emotion and self pity. It's the party of the victim. Don't give them facts. Feel their pain and feel bad about their pain.
January 1st, 2020 at 10:22 AM ^
Pathetically, no it doesn't for them. They dont think, only hate what's not in lockstep with them.
December 31st, 2019 at 1:43 PM ^
And the fact that the government has done worse things throughout its history does not absolve the current administration from the awful things it continues to do on a daily basis.
Doing a bad thing that's less bad than other things still makes it bad and it's okay to be outraged about those bad things.
December 31st, 2019 at 2:10 PM ^
People are only outraged when it is politically beneficial. For example who were outraged over Clinton bombing the Serbs but were so outraged by Serbs committing genocide.
We live in a world where outrage is often dependent on whether it is to their outragee’s benefit politically.
December 31st, 2019 at 3:55 PM ^
I'm not "outraged". Am I supposed to be?
Sorry to trigger you, sorry you lack reading comprehension. As I stated, the US has done horrific things throughout its history.
This does not change the fact that for the past 75 years the US was seen as a beacon of hope and the foundation of western democracy around the world. That is no longer the case. You can blame whoever or whatever you want for this....the end of the cold war, the "radical left", the current "conman president", the polarized media.
The point is, things are fucked up (as was the original point made) as the US has forfeited its role as the leading force promoting democratic values. Now with China and Russia drawing the same moral equivalencies you cite to delegitimize the US, and our own leadership lacking any moral compass and parroting conspiracy theories and attempting to create an alternative reality...well, things are more unstable and fucked up than before.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:28 PM ^
How fucked up are things? My life is great and has been great.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:45 PM ^
Man you're stupid. That doesn't apply to the average person, that applies to the median person. You must be an O$U troll trying to fool us with incorrect statistics.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:13 AM ^
I predict our team will be better than last year.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:15 AM ^
Lol it was funny that umbig11 outted himself but I hope you guys go easy on him in 2020. I like his content and you’re kinda ruining it for me.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:17 AM ^
Whoa wait. umbig11 was outed as a phony? I was unaware of that. No /s. Anyone got a link to the thread?
December 31st, 2019 at 11:23 AM ^
Same. I need details!
December 31st, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
It was in the Eubanks returning thread a few days ago. Basically he replied with wrong account “Chernobyl” he also was acting like something was insider, but another user had already posted a 247 link ?. If you click through Chernobyl posts the original post appears on the left so u can see where he edited. Poster Henne caught it and called him out. I tried to tell everyone for a year he was a phony with multiple accounts, but he used all his accounts to make me look bad ??♂️??♂️ and mob mentality set in. Henne should explain better.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:35 AM ^
People that do shit like that are seriously odd.
Well done.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
Does multiple accounts make him a fake insider? I know he has real information. Multiple accounts is kind of childish or odd behavior, but the guy endows scholarships - he gets information.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:46 AM ^
What makes him a fake insider is he knows nothing that people on paysites don’t know. He proved that when he fucked up the other night. He tried to act like he was posting inside info, only to realize another user had already posted the 247 link ??♂️.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:49 AM ^
That doesn’t prove that he didn’t get the info independently.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:19 PM ^
"but the guy endows scholarships"
How do you know this? Do you personally know the person behind the account?
December 31st, 2019 at 12:25 PM ^
We have spoken, yes. I knew people whose scholarship he endowed.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:41 PM ^
Thanks.
I realize you may not want to say much more, but was he endowing athletic scholarships or academic ones?
December 31st, 2019 at 4:07 PM ^
If the guy is endowing scholarships, I don't give a shit how many accounts he has or how much of an "insider" he is about UM football. He's doing enough good to have earned the right to be batshit crazy on a sports blog if he wishes.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:20 PM ^
Agreed - I dont really care if he has additional accounts. The Chernobyl one barely posted anyways. Maybe there are others. But I like getting the umbig11 tidbits, so give him a good natured ribbing but don't chase him away.
December 31st, 2019 at 12:50 PM ^
I hold nothing personal against the guy, despite his non stop shit talking to me ???♂️... just a blog man. That being said, I predict I won’t post here in 2020, so he has a year to not worry about trolling me with multiple accounts.
Umbig11, I love you and no hard feelings. I forgive you for your mistreatment of me. Have a good year and Go Blue!
December 31st, 2019 at 12:42 PM ^
I unintentionally outed him. He said Bredeson would be the only top 3 round pick and I asked “you don’t see L Hill going in the top 3 rounds?” He responded with his burner account that he forgot about him and he’s he’ll be a top 3 rd pick.
December 31st, 2019 at 11:40 AM ^
Not so much a phony as he has shown to have some insider info as proven in the past but it was discovered he has multiple accounts last week. MK just doesn't like umbigg11 because when MK first started posting around here, he acted and said he was an insider posting a bunch of things about the team that never turned out to be true like who was going to start or get lots of playing time etc. MK was pretty hated around here because his predictions were baseless nonsense and many thought he was also multi accounting (Skypanter, Franklin Hackett). His biggest hater was umbig11, who constantly called his supposed insiderness into question. It wasn't until the joke that he is Shea came about that people actually started to tolerate MK. Now he has gloated for a week on the downfall of umbig11.
Having multiple accounts is stupid. Pretending to be an insider is stupid.
Only on and internet message board...
December 31st, 2019 at 11:43 AM ^
Hi Chernobyl ?
December 31st, 2019 at 11:57 AM ^
I am not Chernobyl or umbig11 or any of his other accounts. Nor am i Mineral King, Skypanter, Franklin Hackett or any of your other accounts. My posting history is a lot of memes, gifs, and jokes. I add no informational value about the football team to this message board. I have no paysite accounts and no insider info. I don't even live in Michigan. I simply answered a question as to what happened to umbig11.
