OT - douchey MgoBlog users
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?
in USC's commons has a similar sign. I can't remember if it is Carl's Jr. or The Rice Bowl. Also the Grove cafe at UCSD has a signs that says almost the exact same thing. Several coffee carts at U of Washington say, "No shoes, No Shirt, Cell Phone attached to your head, NO SERVICE."
Those three campuses are full of arrogant dicks too though.
Most of the responses here were sarcastic commentary. Not one post was outraged or went into hyperdrive trying to call white pony names. Be better than that.

I don't really know what office you work in, and I'm a Michigan fan who didn't attend U-M, but a few things:
1. I taught at another, less academically prestigious Big 10 school as a grad student, and I saw plenty of the same 'arrogance' and rude behavior you mention. I mean, I saw kids so naive? lazy? that they would walk into the main office in a six-story building and ask 'What room is the Italian class in?'
2. I attended as an undergrad a chichi private school on the East Coast, and my experience there (as well as with other private school students; it's a small world) tells me that at any school in the world, there will be people there who make you wonder how they got into college, or where they got the idea that college was even for them. Some of them have Daddy's money to help them go places in life, I guess. This is not uniquely Michigan, or even close to it.
3. "peanut of a salary" and "useless degree": Look, I don't know what field you work in, I really don't. But even for the best and brightest, times are really tough. A lot of graduates I know - from good programs, mind you - are struggling just to find a job that pays $30,000. I have applied for countless positions probably just like yours, and have heard nothing in response. Just consider yourself lucky to have a comfortable position, and don't mock others for not making enough. (I mean, if they're really whiny, mock away; it's how we all survive the day.)
Not a bad post, it just proves that the majority of posters on this blog are ass clowns.
Regular ass-clowns? Or no talent ass-clowns? Because personally I prefer my ass-clowns talent free.
So you are saying that you are a fan of Michael Bolton?
For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman".
There are people who add to discussions that don't spell well (gsimmons, for example). I could be wrong, but it seems that the people who get the most shit for their spelling are the ones who are poor spellers AND poor thinkers.
Spelling and grammar are important. We are given a "free" education in this country through the 12th grade. For thirteen years, each of us is ranted and raved at by elementary school teachers and English teachers. Then people get on the internet, communicate poorly, and then get pissed off that others think they're stupid.
People should write properly OR add some substance. If they can't do either, they shouldn't be using language on the internet.
yeah, because all "free" educations are equal, huh.
I'm sorry. Did you go to a school where they don't teach spelling? I've never heard of one of those.
Greenville with McFarlin.
This isn't really in response to your post but it had to be said. In 7th grade, I won the middle school spelling bee. And our middle school went up to 8th grade.
EAT. THAT. SHIT.
That ain't nothin'.
I won the South American Spelling Bee in second grade.
I don't know man...my competition may have been better than yours.
I beat Wilmer Valderrama.
Were you spelling in English or Spanish? Or maybe Portuguese? This makes a huge difference.
If you beat a bunch of native Spanish speaking in an English spelling bee, not too impressive. If you beat anyone in a spelling bee that was in their native tongue and not yours, I cannot complete with that.
Portuguesish.
Suck it.
There. Also, I challenge you to a duel.
Asparagus. There's no 'I' in "team" or "asparagus." But somehow, with a word I friggin' knew, against the girl who thought it was funny to kick guys in the crotch, I tripped up on A-S-P-A-R-A-G-U-S.
on driving: It's about the customers. There is no I in IPS.

sixth grade. WHAT. NOW?
hi, you must be one of those people who don't know what the real world is like.
You're right.
I'm just an English teacher. I have no clue what they teach in skools.
It boggles my mind that you, a college kid, are trying to tell grown adults who have been in the "real world" for years what the "real world" is like. Why, because you live in Ypsi?
agreeing like this. People will talk.
But what I have found is that there are very few who compartmentalize their intellect. The quality of the writing (spelling, grammar and formatting) is usually mirrored by the quality of their content. This thread is a prime example.
There are few exceptions, and you note GSimmons as one.
I have compartmentalized my intellect.
I'm a genius at Clue. Other than that...
and by not quite right, I mean not at all.
Regarding your reference to Clue, I don't think I have one today.
that he got you in the bedroom with the lead pipe.
Put yourself out there, and ask Magnus out for God's sake. Everyone is sick of watching you beat around the bush.
at Scorekeepers over dangling participles and the proper use of adjectives and quotation marks. I saw one freakishly huge guy slamming some poor skinny English major's head onto the floor repeatedly while screaming "eat my fucking gerund now, bitch!" Took five bouncers and a couple of cops to get him off.
You need to break that shit up into multiple paragraphs. Right now it's impenetrable.
I hate all those douche nozzle Eastern grads who dont have the grades or resume to get into UM, then bitch about it years later on a blog.
Get a life.....but first, yes, I will take fries with that.
is better than Eastern.
Arrogant jerkoff.
It's pretty hard to pick just one, but what the hell: the part where he chastises Michigan students for not having the brains to get into MIT and then we find out Michigan sent him a thin DING! envelope. It's like something you would find on a sitcom.
"I may be a complete idiot, but you're not as smart as you think."
yep, but the difference between you and me is i don't give people shit about their spelling when they are writing on sports blogs.
can't you understand that when a poster spells and writes extremely poorly, it makes their message nearly impossible to read? Why does the desire to do something "correctly" make somebody a douchebag?
Link me to a post where I say anything about spelling or grammar.
And really, I can't think of a more irrelevant response than what you just gave me here. All I'm saying is that it's hilarious that you would give someone shit for not getting into a better school when they are attending a school that you tried and failed to get into. And now you are throwing stones from a vastly inferior school down the street.
The rage at people crossing the streets you wish you could walk (likely in full Michigan gear) is really just icing on the cake.

If I actually didn't know how to spell something, I'd rather have someone correct me on a sports blog so I could use it correctly in a professional situation, rather than have my boss call me out for it. YMMV.
I hope this was directed towards me. I am MichiganStudent. And yes I do think I am better than you. Actually, I know I am better than you.
I know there are people much smarter than me that go to more prestigious schools, but you go to Eastern. So, multiply the number of people that are smarter than me by 20 and thats how many people are smarter than you. Good job!
Oh, and go fuck yourself. If you would like to fight I'd accept your challenge. Set a time and date and I promise you I will be there to kick your ass for the entire "MGOBLOG" community. Shall we?
You need to read the vanhoopscoach thread. You and him must be buddies.
Can we not make physical threats over the internet? This isn't West Virginia.
Thanks. Grow up.
Magnus chill out. I just think this guy is a complete douche bag. I could really care less what he has to say. I actually could care less what you have to say as well regarding my behavior, but I like your posts on other topics.
Anyways, I was hoping for a "Ya lets get him" type of reaction. Guess not...
Challenging an internet douchebag to a fight is somewhat douchebaggy in itself. Rise above the fray.
Save your mob mentality for other morons such as yourself. I think you are a complete douche bag. Come beat me up if you don't like it.
Yeah Magnus, chill out. I don't even like your posts. The only reason I even still talk to you is because you beat a bunch of Brazilian kids in a spelling contest and I think that's admirable. So chill out, and let this guy e-fight whoever he wants.
I'm totally kidding. "If I ever met you in real life I'd beat your face in" is about as cool as herpes.
You should have put a period after "kids".
...Should of.
you are the kind of piece of shit that the rest of the world hates. Oh, and I'm pretty sure I'd kick your ass, but you over privileged rich kids have a propensity to sue instead of taking your licks.
