OT: MGOJet hob-nobbing out in Arizona
The now infamous MGoJet (remember Baton Rouge and Charleston/Morgantown?) was spotted earlier today on the tarmac of the exclusive Scottsdale (AZ) Airpark.
Is it in town to ferry uber-wealthy potential buyers to the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction? Could it be here because the recruiting dead period just ended and another All-American OT prospect is on our radar? Or might it be here simply because its purported owner, mega booster Rich Rogel, is cashing in on some 78 degree weather in the middle of a brutal winter?
Whatever the reason, this thing is awfully cool and I suspect I'm not alone in taking pride when I see Michigan's colors painted (tastefully) on a boat/RV/plane and the like. I always enjoy seeing an M sticker or alumni plate frame on a well-kept automobile (especially out here in the west).
So, my friends, what is the coolest Wolverine paint scheme you've seen? Do you have pictures to share with the board? Do share.
Also, are you (like me) more than happy to engage in a little schadenfreude when you see a STAEE sticker on a real beater or a stupid personalized plate like the ohio one I saw yesterday (it said LVBUCIZ)?
P.S. That's the Texas Rangers Plane out beyond the winged helmet.

Speaking of nob-hopping, I painted the end of mine with the winged design. Not only does it look quite tasteful, it's always fun to announce occasionally that, "the Michigan D is getting GREAT penetration."

Does TomVH still live there?
January 16th, 2014 at 4:15 PM ^
Pretty sure he moved to Michigan.

If I ever win the lottery, which is the only way I will have money based on my career, I will paint everything with a winged helmet design. My car, my other cars, my jet, my house. Everything.

I.e. isn't it just a rich alum/fan doing rich person things?

Dave Brandon used to use the Dominoes Pizza plane, but I'm pretty positive he uses netjets now for its easier anonimity from Flightaware.com cyber stalkers.
January 16th, 2014 at 4:29 PM ^
Yeah, I have four of them. I don't even know where two are most of the time. I am rich and famous.
January 16th, 2014 at 5:12 PM ^
I could be wrong, but I believe the jet belongs to Rich Rogel, who is indeed a very rich alumnus of the University Of Michigan. Among his many achievements, I believe is the founder of PPOM, which was the first fully functional PPO system in Michigan.

Obviously visiting Rich Rod to replace Mattison and also be our kicking coach.

It helps to have a little support from the alum and fan base when trying to basically "rebuild a program" from the dog shit he inherited,. Our new coaches are sure doing an bang up job since the players RR recruited graduated. Actually AZ had a better record than ours and spanked OR, a team we couldn't stay on the field with in our "preffered way" that was filled with h.s. AAs. He's gone. He's not coming back. Let him be. I am convinced he took enough shit while here that if there were two options to choose: Did it help him because he was able to coach comfortably? Is the oppsite true? Good luck Rich.

Wrong. Scottsdale is near Tempe not UofA. Obviously it's Todd Graham for QB coach. He is out of texting for the month though, so he hasn't told anyone at ASU.
