[some idiot who just got banned]
[Ed: this is not true. this poster is banned. leaving it up so people can see the refudiation. also here's his directory entry {Ed Ed: uh... this didn't work last time... we'll try not to exploit the fact MGo requires an email address to register… PaulVB]
I have heard from a few confirmed sources that Brian Cook will be leaving mgoblog after the season this year for bigger and better things. Has anyone else heard this because I am starting to doubt my own sources. Do you guys think the site will be able to live on if this news is true?
Sorry to drop a bombshell on everyone like this, but at least this disappointing news is coming in the bye week.
[MOD EDIT] : I am sorry to confirm that this is indeed true. More to come in following weeks.for those of you who don't realize this, posters can add these [MOD EDIT]s themselves… this wasn't any of the mods and certainly not Brian - PaulVB

Angry Michigan Blog Hating God?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:13 PM ^
Indeed. Surely this is a sign of the Apocalypse.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:16 PM ^
Maybe Brian is Michigan Football's only son sent down to save us.
Is he sacrificing himself to atone for our sins so that we may have a dominant football team once again?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:29 PM ^
to offensive guard?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:06 PM ^
Ya I have heard some similar rumors. I hope they aren't true. Would Tim be next in line?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:19 PM ^
i can't believe you're missing glee to rag on tim
jealous much
October 19th, 2010 at 8:21 PM ^
It's a rerun.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:23 PM ^
so it's just the raging jealously then?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
Nah, just my dislike for the way Tim responds to his readers.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:29 PM ^
morons deserve to be treated like morons
October 20th, 2010 at 3:05 PM ^
What are you doing in this thread? You have just made yourself a prime suspect in this fiasco!!!
October 19th, 2010 at 9:08 PM ^
October 19th, 2010 at 11:48 PM ^
That's because Brian kind of looks down on the board (as he should). If you email him something thoughtful he will always get back to you.
October 19th, 2010 at 9:29 PM ^
Tim's website was way cooler than yours.
October 20th, 2010 at 4:26 AM ^
That's probably true...and yet I still don't like the way he treats the people who read his website.
Brian's site is way cooler than mine, too, and I have no problem with him.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:20 PM ^
I think Magnus is offended that you immediately went to Tim.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:23 PM ^
I am.
I'd prefer Misopogon, Mathlete, formerlyanonymous, jamiemac, Blazefire...
October 19th, 2010 at 8:26 PM ^
I can't believe you're taking time to post here, when you could be spending this time poking the Vincent Smith Voodoo doll.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:38 PM ^
...........anyone with an avatar wearing a swimsuit you can post on your website.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:39 PM ^
Yes, please.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:49 PM ^
Impaler-It was all your fault, the guy couldn't handle how you beat him up on the HaHa thread. You sent him over the edge with the 'Bama coach comment.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:06 PM ^
Mods...clean up on aisle Rampage9
October 19th, 2010 at 8:06 PM ^
I hope so. Maybe I could get some homework done.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:21 PM ^
EDIT: FIVE FAKES OUTA FIVE
October 19th, 2010 at 8:07 PM ^
This makes me a saaaaaaaaaaaad panda
October 19th, 2010 at 8:07 PM ^
um...fuck.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:08 PM ^
Brian stated in a thread a month or two ago that...well...there really aren't any "bigger and better things." He runs the most successful college football blog, and writing for another website would probably be a step down.
I don't believe your sources.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:09 PM ^

October 19th, 2010 at 8:09 PM ^
No reason to believe a mod edit or anything.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:11 PM ^
That's the thing about edits. They change the original post, don't they?
You still haven't gotten rid of your scarlet "O" like you promised...
October 19th, 2010 at 8:15 PM ^
I'm a bad person. It's really hard to find a freakin' picture that's small enough for the pixel requirements that isn't already taken by someone else on this site. I tell you what, if you send me the link to any pic of your choosing, I'll make it my avatar.
October 20th, 2010 at 1:07 AM ^
Why don't you find a picture that you like then re-size it so it fulfills the pixel requirements.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:37 PM ^
hey magnus
what is your favorite sandwich
October 19th, 2010 at 8:38 PM ^
A Monte Cristo.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:41 PM ^
A Monte Cristo with a can of olives
October 19th, 2010 at 8:43 PM ^
piss off
that question was genuine
October 19th, 2010 at 8:46 PM ^
Boutsy I love you almost as much as I love ASS
October 20th, 2010 at 4:24 PM ^
I had you pegged for an open faced mutton sandwich for sure.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:23 PM ^
Though, to be fair, normal edits can be cleverly disguised as mod edits with a judicious use of brackets, colons, and bolding.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:40 PM ^
Yes, there are bigger and better things.
Brian has been hired to replace Gerg. And will also be playing cornerback.
October 19th, 2010 at 11:59 PM ^
I would prefer him at linebacker, since he knows exactly what not to do because he has spent significant amounts of time breaking down Obi's play.
He probably doesnt have that Esss Eee See speed either
October 19th, 2010 at 8:08 PM ^
wow.....there goes my week. Best of luck to you Brian! You will be missed!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:09 PM ^
I feel like he's breaking up with me.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:10 PM ^
That doesn't sound good. Seems odd considering his comments during his interview with Six Zero...
Also: Bigger and better as in ESPN ANALYST?!
October 19th, 2010 at 8:11 PM ^
Working for ESPN seems like a big step down.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:12 PM ^
Brian Cook: Raising media standards since whenever he started raising media standards.
October 19th, 2010 at 8:12 PM ^
I was thinking more like marrying a billionaire supermodel and moving onto a yacht in the Caribbean.
