Don't get me wrong, your Dudeness, I'm not trying to single you out or anything, but I'm not the only one who sees the irony here, am I? I think WDs zeal is a little weird, but if people are so tired of him constantly being on the board, then how does constantly bringing him up make that better? I think he should probably tone it down a bit, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if people posted about him more than he actually posts half the time.. just a thought.

I always laugh at the try hards of this blog. You are the Mick Foley of Mgoblog sir. Hey guys i dug up a dirt old video from a city in Ohio which has substantially blown right past any large city in Michigan.

I love Michigan...I love the Tigers and Red Wings, but nothing is sadder than people hating a whole state simply because a college they hate takes up a fraction of land in that state.

Cleveland is years ahead of Detroit and Columbus is even more years ahead. This truely amounts to the guy with the house he is trying to keep from falling apart ripping on the dude next door who just rehabed his house.

I hate the Buckeyes, but that isn't stopping me from hitting up a Clippers game or drinking beer made in Columbus. Grow Up

I hate OSU and the state it resides in. Especially since all over the state it has anti-University of Michigan propaganda and advertising. You don't see that in Michigan.



A State Farm billboard outside of Sandusky pisses me off. "We've got you covered even if you hit a Wolverine."



Take a hike Ohio!

Eh I feel for you because I get tons of UM love. The UM foot print is quite large in NE Ohio. It actually annoys my OSU friends when we are out and I am wearing my UM hat and I get a handful of Go Blue's.

I lived in Columbus for two years. Driving around OSU made me cringe, but the city itself is a great place to live and there's a lot to do there. Short North, Arena District, Upper Arlington, Grandview, German Village, and Easton are all really great areas. Some of my favorite restaurants are in Columbus. A lot of great companies have their headquarters there too.

Honestly, unless you're right around the university, you could drive through Columbus and you'd hardly ever know the university was even there. Not too many better college towns than Ann Arbor, but Columbus is a great city all its own.

Columbus is so much more than the college, whereas Ann Arbor would not exist in anywhere near the same form without the college.

Other than so many OSU fans milling about the city, it's a great place.  Georgraphically, not much other than a cow pasture, but lots, lots of stuff going on, both financially and socially.  

I'll take Ann Arbor if I have to choose between the two, but Columbus is a bigger city with more to offer.

I don't down vote every post of anyone. WD is basically this post in a box. posting to get pats on the back. Sorry if i am not going to sit back and stroke a dudes ego because everyone else is so scared of his fragile self. 

WD is like my kid....you can lie to them and stroke their ego, or you can hit them with small doases of reality so when they enter the real world they can handle it. WD is a poster boy for millenials. They were feed sunshine and roses and when hit in the mouth with reality they cower in a shell and then run home to mommy and daddy to get more reasurance that they are special.

Your logic is that if you aren't going to pat someone on the back, the only other option is to be an asshole... for that person's own good of course. If WD is like your kid, is your parenting approach then to belittle him/her if you don't agree with his/her behavior?

For the record, my opinion of WD is fairly ambivalent. I see the point you are desperately trying to defend. With that said, the incessant bitching by a core group of individuals of every post, regardless of how innocuous it may be, is tired and needs to stop. It is cancerous to this board.

Nobody belittled WD. They are simply letting him know he is being an attention seeking asshole. I guess when your kid kicks and screams in the store or restaurant you just ignore it and hope it will pass. Well when my kid does that i remove them from the building until he/she can act appropriate.

 

Sorry i think those who call WD out are trying to help him in life. Lets be real he shuts down 2 days out to prepare for a game that should in all reality have zero impact on his life. 

 

You meanwhile sit there and feed the beast. I am not saying for WD to stop posting or creating threads...I am just saying how about not 4-5 a day.

 

It is comical that you spend your time calling out everyone who mentions WD in not a glorious light....seems there is an old saying for what you do.

1. You apparently don't understand the meaning of belittle as you did it this last post.

2. Your argument for not liking the guy is because he makes a lot of board topics and he is excessively passionate about Michigan. Weak sauce. You should focus on your own psychological issues.

3. I'm not pro WD. I'm against grown men acting like little bitches on this blog.

I am not speaking of population. I am speaking of when I went to Comerica Park and driving to the highway I felt like I suddenly made a wrong turn onto Fury Road.

Cleveland has some rough spots out east, but the downtown proper is exploding with amazing Bars/Restaurants and places you want to just hang out.

All sports aside, Columbus is a milquetoast strip mall town nobody out of the Midwest considers visiting by choice. Sure they have local beer and restaurants but so do airports. I did have fun at a Clippers game once so I guess keep doing that if you live there. 

I enjoy Cleveland though (in the summer).

Don't forget some guy named Schembechler was born and raised In Barberton,Ohio.  A small town about 40 miles south of Cleveland.

And our last two Heisman winners in football were from Ohio

And our recent Naismith award winner in basketball was from Ohio

But other than those guys.......
