Petition against another liveblog!
The evidence against liveblogs for basketball games continues to pile up and so I have decided to start a petition against a liveblog against Minnesota next week. This game is too important to our NCAA hopes to tempt the Angry MGoLiveblog Hating God and despite the better perforance in today's game, we still need a win or two. Post here to voice your opinion against this madness! (And no, a blog disguised as a discussion about an obscure Asian country should not be accepted either).
Let your voice be heard and Go Blue!
What do you have against live blogs exactly?
I see that the record with live blogs but I am not convinced and it seems ridiculous.
No more liveblogs!
Will not sign.
Agreed. We don't need bad mojo.
Next year mess around if you want to, but this year all of our bases have to be covered.
I need liveblogs to give me commentary when I'm watching crappy justin.tv feeds. Long live liveblogs!
Is it against a liveblog totally? Or just against Brian hosting a liveblog?
don't tempt fate!
And Signed
It may be ridiculous, but when I ask myself whether I feel our chances to win at Minnesota are significantly increased by Brian not hosting a liveblog, I most definitely do.
signed.
have been bad luck, and we need all of the luck we can get!
hehehe, hancock
Signed
The bottom line is that we're 2-6 when Brian hosts a liveblog this season, and 16-6 when he doesn't. He did NOT host one for any of our four biggest wins of the season: UCLA, Duke, Illinois or Purdue. The evidence is overwhelming. No liveblog for next Saturday or the BTT. (And maybe none for Selection Sunday, just to be safe.)
I can't believe we'd even think about doing a liveblog. Don't mess with mojo you don't understand. Think of it as doing your part to help the team.
Michigan Basketball Liveblogs are the scourge of the universe.
My fortune cookie told me to do it
If Brian decides to ignore our populist demands, I will hack into this site on that day and turn it into a lolcats mirror.
Don't you dare think I'm bluffing Cook....
...it's Herbie Hancock.
Sign me up! Liveblog = bad.
With a quill pen.
The bottom line is a lot of people still participate in the liveblog and assuming that a live internet discussion between an arbitrary group of people has anything to do with the performace of some basketball players is absurd.
Also, correllation != causation.
Thank you
Fandom is more about emotion than logic, so correlation is king.
Do you have any data to back up this assertion of absurdity?
No more live-blogs until we lose a game. If we lose to Minnesota, on with the live-blogs. If we win, continue the ban on live-blogs.
Whether correlation=causation or not (scientists today still struggle with this question) an MGoLiveBlog will create bad energy amongst the blogosphere which will affect the game poorly (IMHO).
SIGNED.
Is my internet sarcasm meter off, or do you really think scientists struggle with correlation vs. causation?
Not more BBall liveblogs this year, period!
signed!
So I guess the fact that 69% of over 2,800 votes cast say NO to a live blog is not enough?
You want a petition?
So, like almost 2,000 people can duplicate their vote by signing the petition?
Are petitions better than voting??
I'm corn-fused!!
he created this before the poll
First, you guys are all dumb.
Second, what if we told all the players that Brian wasn't doing a LiveBlog but then we did one anyway without them knowing? Is that enough?
I live in LA and the game will not be on TV here. I get too frustrated usually with those live feeds. Without the LiveBlog I'm relegated to ESPN GameCast which isn't that cool.
The game is being televised nationally on ESPN, you're just gonna have to wake up at 9 AM to watch it.
