No se, pero VAMOS AZUL amigo mio!!!
I will admit that I look at Eleven Warriors quite often(for shame!).
I enjoy seeing many of them post through the obvious pain of the last two years, but I also like the format of their site(their recruiting pages are ongoing conversations for example).
Sometimes they argue over how to handle the current state of the Michigan program, which is very entertaining.
My favorite thing to do is look at game week opponents forums. Only during the football season and cbb tourney runs. Outside of that no.
This is literally the only blog I read anymore.
Bless You Boys for the Tigers.
And I read other Big Ten team blogs to keep abreast.
I hit up ByB daily. Also like Motor City Bengals for Tiger stuff.
I love TTB for recruiting in particular.
Same here. Magnus has begun this year's countdown of players ranked by irreplaceability. Among other things, it's good place to learn about obscure walk-ons. Sample:

I read that one, too. It's pretty fantastic. Probably the best season countdown there is.
Sincerely,
Mangus
Thanks for the laugh!
My interest in team sports has dwindled down to pretty much just Michigan, so this is really all I read as far as sports blogs. I do also read the first three sentences of most UM Hoops articles also because I’m too cheap to pay like a dollar per month to read all of it.
I really like stocktwits. Great finance blog.

Pride of Detroit (POD)
Bless You Boys
...and of all things SpartanTailgate on 247. They have a realtime ongoing news thread of the Ukraine Russian war with no tolerance for politics and welcome UM folks. Very informative.
I only go to 11W or RCMB when my super hero schadenfreude senses are activated.
Mostly Detroit sports stuff.
Bless You Boys and Motor City Bengals for Tigers (as mentioned above).
Pride of Detroit for Lions.
Maize and Brew when I'm not on MGoBlog for UoM.
I browse through Gopherhole.com frequently and occasionally post on more general topics or when Michigan is being discussed. They have separate boards for each sport. I mostly look at the basketball board but sometimes the football and even less often the hockey board.
I like the functuality of their boards. When you go back to look at a thread, it takes you to where you left off. When someone likes or dislikes your post, it gives the poster's username. It alerts you when someone responds to your post. And there is also a private message feature, which I have never used.
A favorite of near yesteryear was a Yankee baseball site called River Avenue Blues. It was like this site only Yankee baseball. It's gone now (the owner, Mike Axisa, got hired by one of the big sites) but will never be forgotten by those of us who frequented it.
defector.com, which is the old deadspin.com gang following the gawker purge. the writing is excellent (and varied), but the comment section is far and away the best sports version i’ve seen.
Off topic but holy shit I see Ace was making friends again last night.
My Twitter experience has only improved since I muted Ace.
Bring Your Champions They’re Our Meat
the college football subreddit.
I look at Eleven Warriors, which have a few good posters and decent analyses (more humble now after two years of being brought down to Earth) but there are too many sore posters there that are just "F this and F that".
Would be great if the top writers here and on EW had a forum where they could just really talk B10 football counting the days until November 25th. Some in season playful abuse is fun but we save that for MSU. Not looking past PSU or anyone else but this year's version of the game should be special and I embrace when both teams are good and the loser's season is pretty much ruined.
Once the CFB playoff expands, and the B10, The Game will sadly have less of a do or die importance.
When it comes to college athletics, I follow several of the "non-revenue sports".
For fans of college hockey, here's a link to a list some of the better college-hockey blogs, including the Michigan-focused The Blog That Yost Built. Inside Lacrosse has good coverage of college lacrosse. Intermat has good coverage of college wrestling.
In my old age, I don't follow the major professional sports as closely as I once did. Sixty years ago at this time of year, I'd be waiting for my weekly copy of The Sporting News which offered me many hours of time to be poring over box scores of the games played during the previous week. There's a song that reminds me of those old days.
These days, I subscribe to The Athletic and that's where I get most of my pro sports news.
I follow international soccer more closely than I follow any other sport. Men in Blazers and their weekly Raven Newsletter is my go-to soccer blog and one of the podcasts I listen to frequently.
There isn't much time in the day to regularly check out other sites - but, when there is interesting news, usually resulting in another "meltdown", I may take a brief look to see just what the fans are saying.
Eleven Warriors, RCMB, and a few others are be the sites I look at more frequently.
When I need cheering up I read RCMB.
