OT-How can I alleviate my boredom?

Submitted by Dark Blue on January 9th, 2010 at 6:42 PM

At the risk of being neg-banged into oblivion, I have come to the MGoBoard for help. There is roughly 9 months until football season starts again, and with the NFL season winding down, I have begun to wonder what I am going to do until September? I don't drink although I can see that becoming a viable option. Baseball season may lessen the pain, but the Tigers are shaping up to have an awful year. Any suggestions on what I can do would be greatly appreciated.

Curing the Red Wings injury woes springs to mind. Video games are probably the easiest way to go, though....

This year you have the Winter Olympics. Red Wings (before and after the Olympic break, the Pistons (tough to watch)the Tigers, NFL Off-season, Michigan hockey, Michigan basketball/ March madness, european soccer (if you're into that) and to top it off the World Cup in the summer. Should be a fun year for a sports fan.

Is it bad that I'm taking more grad school credits now and in the spring/summer just so I can take it easy in the fall when college football starts up again?

Is the general rule here. But everyone does. And there are posts calling for people to get banned. So I have a suggestion for you: Conduct a study that will quantify the posts where people discuss points and banning. In other words--give us a read about how this board may be taking on more of a playground mentality and overly concerned with peer pressure, fitting in, worrying about how much people like you--ALL the concerns of you average 13-year old junior high student. I'm looking forward to your results.

Here's a suggestion: start working on an MGoBlog meltdown. It's fun for you and fun for us as well. You have some big shoes to fill, so I would suggest reading up on and studying some of the scholars who have come before us. With some hard work and a little luck "theleadersandthebest" could be the next MGoBlog moniker with a target on its chest. Good luck sir.
