"He's a hard worker, and he watched me and Tim (Hardaway Jr.) and Nik (Stauksas) put work in to become (first-round picks), and I'm just happy he's getting better," Burke said. "It's great for the program, too. It shows what type of program the University of Michigan is and the direction it continues to go in."
cumong man
"please don't get tackled from behind this t--dawwww"
so we've got that going for us
help i've been transported back in time to Jim Tressel's hiring help
oh my god the blinking goes up
See! It could be worse.
noon Wednesday if you're interested
M alum was Mr. Irrelevant of last year's MLS draft.

here's one vote for "John Beilein's head in a Futurama jar"

At least get a better class of nerd dom man. Like Star Wars or something.
I've seen the HP movies and I never got them. Why not just hire Blackwater or something and shoot Voldemort from behind when he's locked in a duel. You know standing there taunting Potter and a .50 cal slams into the back of his head. Problem over.
I was a Star Wars nerd WAY before a Harry Potter nerd, and I still am. You should hear my Chewbacca roar...why do I keep saying things?
"Am I much of a nerd?"
Hmmmmmm......
(join the club)
Can our quidditch team win a national championship?
IF they win a national championship, is there anyone in the MGoCommunity that would attend one of their matches? If so, are they nerds for attending or does the fact that the "team" won a championship somehow make it better?
I might have to go out of a sick sense of interest. You know it's that train wreck you feel horrible for watching, but you can't take your eyes off it.
Or I'd go to streak.
I would fly from new Orleans for a mgoblog tailgate and obscene hockey eque chanting
I don't think you want that title. Depends on your view of Star Trek watching as a competitive sport.
I had to Google this to figure out what it was.
Just ... bizarre.
At first, I was expecting this to be an Every Three Weekly article.. Also, these actual quotes from actual people are fantastic:
“No one’s here because they have a Quidditch scholarship,” Duet added.
Oh, you don't say...
“You just get to nerd out with other people,” Whitfield added. “You can’t really express your love for Quidditch so much in a classroom. ”
Oh, you don't say...
“I’m really excited to play MSU,” he said. “You may have beat us at football, but we can beat you at a fictional sport.”
School pride, I guess??
hahaha, by far my favorite part of this article is the lone user comment:
Only students for abstinence has more virgins in their club. This is the gayest thing I have ever heard of.
then I thought I'd better not offend 3-25% of the readership.
We've gotta have more than 3-25% virgins here!
Was walking my dog through the arb and saw them practicing. He went right over and took a leak on the goal post. was a proud moment.
What, LARPing wasn't good enough for them?
Yinka Dare was a beast at GW. I saw him play one year against UMass. Great choice for a screen name.
I'm a 29 year old male and while driving past the Toledo campus with a couple buddies on a beautiful saturday morning we came across roughly 30 students in full "battle armor". Frickin rows of knights swinging wildly at each other. The only thing we thought was we should dress as cowboys with six shooters and ruin their day.
Nerds grumble grumble not getting laid grumble grumble kids these days grumble grumble.
Can someone find out whehter the Quidditch teams are going over practice limits? Are they filling out their CARA forms?
I'm beginning to feel that it is a good thing that I have no F'n clue what Quidditch is.
if Rowling wasn't so married to the 3-3-5.
You can't blame J.K. Rowling, the problem with our team is the lack of talent and depth.
That blonde Hitler youth lookalike in the movies looks like he'd make for an excellent deathbroomer.
so that we can have a real liveblog of it. someone can even start a topic about Michigan Angry Seeker Hating God, and the Mathlete can write a diary on the PAN of our Beaters
at least its not an accapella group
I love how this thread has more responses than TomVH's post
Tom is incredible and the stuff he puts out beats even an insane post about Quidditch
As imaginary sports go, I thought baseketball at least was a playable sport at least a 1 on 1 sport. It didnt work as a 3 man in the movie but you add a player or team a squad, or deal with ghostrunners.
I would so go back in time to found a club team in baseketball.
At our school, we have sports in which folks can nerd out.
At Sparty, nerds are beaten.
Think about it.
our paintball team can't get the school to cough up enough money so were not a club sport but these guys waltz in and get funded?
I'm officially disappointed in the funding council
I'm semi-involved in Club Sports as a student Club Sport athlete, and although we discussed admitting Quidditch to Club Sports last year, I do not believe they were actually allowed to join. They, like Paintball and many other clubs that play sports, merely run their own shit, but do not get support from the Rec Sports Department. I doubt they are getting serious Club Sports funding.
thanks for clearing that up because I couldn't believe that they would be allowed to be a club sport after so short a time they must be a student group
I came across a match yesterday while taking a run in the arb. A girl color commentated with a megaphone. I shit you not. WHO WANTS FREE PIZZA??!!!!!!!!!
Did she preface it with "HEY FANS!!!!"?
I'm guessing they all met at the Squirrel Club mass meeting.
Mgoblog users have posted 71 comments about how nerdy people are who show passion for a sport they like.
Do you think Harry Potter would've been a 5-star recruit? Or a gritty 3 star who went on to set Hogwarts' all-time seeking record?
I bet he flew a 4.5 40
I just learned that one of my friends is on the team I guess some people are really nerdy but most are pretty laid back and just think it's a cool sport
Where has all the punctuation gone?
I are an engineer
grammar died when I got here
I think its hilarious for all the hating this idea gets on here, that it still spawned an 79+ comment thread.
I guess this means that there's still hope for fans of 43-man squamish.
I have bad news for you guys... (please don't neg, just reporting an event)
MSU swept UM this weekend in Quidditch.
Scores were 140-20 and 40-30 (no, I don't know how they actually score).
