OT Idea - Profiles of MgoBloggers
Mates,
The OT season is kind of here, and will be in earnest when the MBB team is done with the NCAA's. We have some pretty creative, interesting and humorous folks on the board and it occured to me that it might be a good idea during the OT season to have a regular 'MGoBlogger Monday Profile' segment. I figure we could do a few of you at one time and that I'd start by picking folks using some combination of seniority and points and work my way through as many as reasonably could be done during the off months. I know there were a few profiles done years ago but none for quite a while. and many new characters are here.
So my questions are these:
1. Good idea or 'meh/pass/stupid'?
2. If good idea, then what general questions/areas would you want to get into? No creepy/stalker/perv stuff (I'm looking at a few of you right now...), but what areas to ask about? Maybe family, job, how became a Michigan fan, hobbies (besides M football, etc), favorite Michigan memory, maybe some wild card questions like 'if you could live any place', or 'have any job' or something along those lines.
Have a great weekend. Super bowl on Sunday.

and if XtraMelanin is doing the profiles, I call dibs on interviewing him. I have a list of questions to ask already.

My guess is that you have some pretty entertaining stories.

officer before then. i'm guessing that alone will yield a hellaciously fun interview.
February 5th, 2016 at 3:24 PM ^
Surprisingly, I don't have either!

Maybe a standard form similar to what the 6 recruits filled out at SOTS?

adults following what high school kids are doing on a daily basis kind of fall under Perv/stalker territory????

That's a pretty sexy new avatar you've got there, but you can do better (don't be shy):
February 5th, 2016 at 2:27 PM ^
February 5th, 2016 at 2:43 PM ^
1. Mad Hatter
2. XtraMelanin
3. MGrowOld
4. MeanJoe
5. Hotel Putingrad (self-nominated)
I'll nominate Don (6) as he's old and doesn't have a lot of time to wait around for the next time these are done. Anyone else? Feedback?
February 5th, 2016 at 2:51 PM ^
I nominate Brew Mom and Mabel.

and it would be fun to hear from them too.

it was just a warm-up for mr. pines, the lucky recipient of your affections.
and you are definitely going to be on the list.

I think you're overestimating how much action the nerds on this site got in college.
(And I'm including myself in the "nerd" category.)

I would be fun to see something like the Six Zero series come back if someone wants to take the lead; my guess is that most of the new people just assume those of us with lots of points are lonely, aloof, basement-dwelling trolls with nothing better to do. But with these profiles, you'd see that some of us are also incredibly narcissistic as well!

Six Zero (or the man behind the MGoUsername) is very active on Twitter but not so much here anymore save for a rare, rae post now and again that I've seen, for those that asked for his whereabouts.
I will agree, however, that this would be a great feature to start again - for those unfamiliar with the process, essentially the person being profiled will get six (perhaps a few more) questions, mostly tailored to their blog presence (so there is pre-work that goes on). You are encouraged to be detailed, although some choose not to be for reasons of privacy, which is fine, or some just like to present their story through the lens of MGoSnark, which is encouraged.

What isn't bullshit would be made up lies.
February 5th, 2016 at 4:54 PM ^
February 5th, 2016 at 7:12 PM ^
Great idea! But we gotta find someone to do it
February 5th, 2016 at 10:03 PM ^
thus the thread. need to work out the logistics, but with all the positive responses, i'm thinking it will be a 'go'.

is my on season. I will be golfing almost everyday and will be with my wife and kids every other spare minute I can. My season will start around the spring game my favorite time of the year most of my posting will be done after that. Go Blue or go discgolfing is my M. O.
