OT - BIG coaches meeting satire

Meh.
And that's generous.
Man, that would be great, if only it were actually funny.
and comedy are decidedly in the eye of beholder...And the originator of this thread is blind.
It's mostly just making fun of Michigan.
Big fan of the changing pictures based on what's being said
That was awful.
Man if only i could remember where I'd seen this concept before....
Oh that's right. On the front freaking page of MgoBlog by BiSB and it actually WAS funny as hell. Note to author: If you're going to plagiarize someone's work at least try and keep the funny parts in place.
In fact, I first saw it either on Black Heart Gold Pants or Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician, can't recall which (also, sports blogs have the best names amirite just sayin').
I mean, if you've never read the Octonion saga, then you're missing out.

And if you really want to take a stroll down memory lane, the whole "making fun of one guy in a meeting" was done way way back by Hey Jenny Slater, albeit in irc chat room format.

Also, you might recognize the author of that very first comment...
SHOTS FIRED. SHOTS FIRED.
But see that's exactly my point Andrew. At least if BiSB stole the idea he remembered to keep it funny.
BTW that's one amazing recall on your part to be able to reference the 2006 "HeyJennySlater" post. And yes - our leader was learning his craft even then now wasnt he?
That type of article is that author's first attempt. Weak attempt at that, but everyone has to start somewhere I suppose.
Agreed - if you're going to plagiarize, at least do it well!
...but yeah, one of these is Ryan Gosling, the other is not. Odd.
Ok, wow. I made it about 1/4 of the way through and well... man, that was terrible. I mean, I was even trying to give it the benefit of the doubt, but dang, it was an exercise in trying way too hard.
Should I have continued? Does it get better at all?
Michigan is in "get bashed" mode right now. Get used to it. Far more offensive is the overall humor. Just a lame piece.
A complete waste of anyone's time to even click the link. Why the hell did you post this?
Ummmm...wow. That was something to say the least. I thought whoever wrote it tried way to hard.
I really dislike OTE. I remember they were doing a "hate week" for each B1G team or something, for Michigan they wrote a magnum opus on how much they hate us, for OSU it was like 2 sentences. The main guys are an OSU fan and NU fan I think. Yeah it's definitely one of the worst SBNation blogs.
there's several contributing writers, there is one Michigan fan among the creators of the original site. One good friend of mine writes for them, an OSU fan, who even he says the site has gotten out of control over the last year or two. IMHO, as a "B1G site" it is a fairly open opportunity to make fun of anyone and everyone, but they do seem to take every opportunity to make fun of Michigan, more than their fair share. It is what it is...sometimes they write these sort of satires that are actually funny. I'm going to take everyone elses advice and not read this one.
My computer is slow. And I'm even slower.
