Rashan Gary announcement time set
There was some confusion on how and where he'd announce recently. He originally was going to announce via his twitter but now that has changed.
3pm on ESPNU.
We now know 2:59pm on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016 will be the final moment the MGoBlog server exists before it reaches blastoff. Maybe Matt Damon will try to save it once it reaches Mars.

Good sign there
January 24th, 2016 at 5:42 PM ^
Pls explain
January 24th, 2016 at 5:47 PM ^
its not espn2 or espnnews. So we should be good.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:49 PM ^
Makes total sense now.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:50 PM ^
Love it
January 24th, 2016 at 8:40 PM ^
...this guy knows his shit.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:50 PM ^
Well ESPNU is for college sports, and Michigan is a college team. So we know he's not going straight to the pros.

ESPN is now touting an app that lets you watch on any device whatever is on any ESPN channel, and secondly ESPNU is headquartered in Charlotte. Actually, in a mall area east of the city and closer to South Carolina.
Whether that's relevant, you now know where the biggest recruit announcement in recent Michigan history will now emanate.
January 24th, 2016 at 10:11 PM ^
but you call them whatever you want. ; )
January 25th, 2016 at 9:36 AM ^
huh??? Mall area? East of the city?
Think you have sound bad information here. There is no mall and the building is in the city of Charlotte. The South Carolina state line is about 8 minutes down the road.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:09 PM ^
Peppers committed on ESPNU I believe.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:36 PM ^
I think McGary's did too

the SEC network
January 24th, 2016 at 5:49 PM ^
With additional sponsorship by the Detroit Free Press
January 24th, 2016 at 5:36 PM ^
I suspect he will be committing via freestyle?
January 24th, 2016 at 5:38 PM ^

Extra resources to take care of all those back-end fetches.
January 24th, 2016 at 9:59 PM ^
Feb 3rd?
Try March 3rd.
Maybe.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:38 PM ^
There was an ESPN employee who posted on here a couple days ago... Said he knew Jabrill was coming ten minutes before he announced, saw his family wearing Michigan gear. Not sure who it was.
Maybe he could tell us early...
January 24th, 2016 at 5:45 PM ^
No one will be able to get on the blog anytime before during or after that announcement.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:45 PM ^
Mgoblog will be an inaccessible wasteland ten minutes before Gary's announcement.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:42 PM ^
I don't know much about website infrastructure, but can someone more educated than me explain why the sure doesn't rely on Aws or a similar cloud based solution? You would think a site like this that has peak seasons and weird random spikes would benefit from on demand capacity.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:13 PM ^
Most likely a cost thing. I'm sure they would happily upgrade if someone wanted to fund it.

yep. this site is running on Windows 3.11 from Brian's mom's basement.
January 24th, 2016 at 10:24 PM ^
I'm sure it's backed up on a couple state of the art 3.5 inch floppies.

I heard Brian got a ZIP drive for christmas but he needs to upgrade the serial port before he could use it.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:44 PM ^
Rashan who?
January 24th, 2016 at 5:53 PM ^
Rashan Gary. He is the number one recruit in the country, according to a bunch of older dudes who think they know everything about a bunch of high school football players.

January 24th, 2016 at 6:34 PM ^
So older dudes can't watch football and evaluate talent, just younger dudes?
January 24th, 2016 at 6:35 PM ^
#1 recruit in what? Squash?

Do they have sarcasm in Australia?
January 25th, 2016 at 1:39 PM ^
it's upside down so regular humor is considered sarcasm and sarcasm is considered regular humor.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:44 PM ^

1423 or whomever is going to die drinking all that bleach.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:48 PM ^
Thinking they might be streaming his announcement at the location for the final announcement.....
January 24th, 2016 at 6:17 PM ^
Doesn't it end at 1?
January 24th, 2016 at 5:49 PM ^
Sooooo, what time will Brian be distributing the kool-aid?

It's a done deal...but I'm still going to be nervous when watching.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:51 PM ^
I cannot wait for this to be over.

It will never be over. The next day, we move on to the 2017 class being the focus.
January 24th, 2016 at 5:52 PM ^

11am-1pm. So, the timing isn't promising.
January 24th, 2016 at 6:08 PM ^
ESPN doesn't give two shits about Michigan's signing day event. They're trying to maximize viewers, it's not a sign either way.

ESPN decides the times. They have a show on NSD they run from like 7am to to 7pm and they schedule the announcements throughout the day.
