It's the 6 year!! anniversary of this mgohalloffame thread.

those were the days. i was just a mere reader back then.

Let me start off by saying I know what I am getting myself into here, but it has to be said, even if it is to only get my frustrations off my chest. I am sick of the douche bags on this site. And I think it is safe to assume they are michigan students.
I love this university, My aunt and uncle have season tickets and I have been going since I was 12. I always wanted to go to school here, but it's expensive and my grades weren't good enough in high school. But after living here and going to eastern, I have come to realize that the students that go here are over-privileged, whiny rich kids who don't know jack shit about the real world. It has been showing up more and more on this site, and for the longest time I tolerated people whining about posts not having the right title so they had to take 5 seconds to click on it and realize they didn't want to read it. Were so sorry we inconvenienced you, since you go to U of M you must be right and have everything your way. In fact, I'm sure that some people are going to bitch about me having to long of a post in the forum and I should have put this under diaries. Well guess what, piss off. I just witnessed a forum where people were complaining about the spelling. This blew my mind. Get a life people. Don't you realize people think you're douche bags? Well, it's because you are. Wow, so you go to Michigan, so you can spell, good for you. You think your shit don't stink. But if you were "all that" you would be going to Harvard, Wharton, or MIT., there are plenty of people smarter out there than you. So shut the hell up and post about sports or responses to OT topics, not how well you can spell, that's what first grade spelling bee's are for, or to complain about a topics title, nobody has dial-up anymore, I can click on every link on this site in under 5 min, deal with it
p.s. Also, for all you michigan students who think getting hit by a car won't hurt, the world does not revolve around you. I will stop for you if you are using a designated cross walk. but if you are crossing state street and are coming out from behind a car at a random spot, either be prepared to be hit or yelled at, and if you yell back, be prepared to have something thrown at you.
p.s.s. Do you think that talking about how jake long got drafted first overall will help RR get S. Henderson when he talks to him? I have always wondered if that was considered tacky to do?

Kind of funny that pretty much as soon as I left Ann Arbor (like 2 months after) I got hit by a car walking across the street here in LA.  Please don't do that to people.  It's not fun.

I miss some of the posters in that thread. I even caught a post from my old handle. It's weird seeing Misopogon show up as Seth. Jamiemac was still posting regularly at that point. Wolverine Devotee was probably just starting his record books.

I'm trying to think of some other epic threads from the before time, in the long long ago. And now how I wish we had a Provider to help run an Mgoblog Carousel.

Also, Brian, about that site redesign... ;)

Oh TomVH, so damn sad. Some of the posters in that threat that don't come around as much were truly funny. Also seeing some people's points were crazy compared to now, I guess the point system just got started around that time.

I can't stand it when I hear MSU fans say U of M students are arrogant. Ironically, it's very arrogant to make broad generalizations, and pretend it's a fact.

Going to U of M has been the best experience of my life. The people of Ann Arbor have always been nice to me.

Anytime you start dissing others, it's usually an indication of insecurity.

Hopefully your views on the matter have changed. I grew up in rural Michigan with little money, and did everything possible (scholarships, employment, being a Resident Advisor, etc.) to get myself through four years at Michigan. I've never met better people in my life than I did in Ann Arbor. I get that the few Michigan douchebags here and there piss people off, but generalizing the entire student body is ill-conceived. The vast majority of students care about much more than just themselves, including myself.

I mainly lurked then with a smattering of posts under a different handle, but I remember this rant and it is still funny, especially because it took the turn above towards the end. It reminded me of "Network" somehow - "...and I was married for thrity-three years of shrill, shrieking fraud. So, that's it, I've got no more left. I just ran out of it, you see."

I'm glad the poster still posts on here regularly. That post was pretty funny and it was interesting reading something from before I started reading mgoblog.

Let's talk about grammar for a second. Yes, this is an internet forum and not an English class and if you shorten words, I'm not gonna (see?) fault you. But don't bitch if someone corrects you if you use "your" instead of "you're". That's not Michigan arrogance, that's basic English any proficient English speaker should know. In Ghana I was an average student, but when I came here as a 12 year old, my grammar was better than many adult Americans. Don't you find that a little ridiculous? I expected better, since this is mainly an English-speaking country with a "better" education system. Now I don't correct grammar much, but I'm not going to complain if someone corrects a mistake I make. I should know better and so should you.
