Time for a New MgoBlog Banner - What Should it Be?
Mates,
Looking at our banner, we have two now-departed basketball players on it along with big John Teske. Wishing them well, nevertheless it seems like its time to get a new banner even if its only to tide us over until football season. Baseball has to get some consideration, football always and forever, what else might make the grade?
Today's question: Assuming 'we' need a new banner, what/who should be on it? Have any pictures to share that might be good to use?
Happy day-before-the-4th.

This, or something else recognizing the baseball team. What these guys accomplished, when nobody expected them to, was incredible.
The spotlight usually falls on the stars in the marquee sports. For a few weeks, it should fall on the underdogs and the over-achievers. They earned it.
I agree! As the biggest college sports blog, this platform could help push interest in baseball - if even for a few weeks. Everyone was caught up, and even Brian got in on it with a couple of baseball stories. To not give them a few weeks earned respect would be a tragedy of the platform Brian created - for which he purports to support Michigan athletics.
C'mon MGoOverlords! Show some respect to the team that captured the blog's attention for three weeks with a completely unexpected run to the last possible game of the college baseball season!
Shouldn't it just be a list of our possible recruiting violations? Seems to be a favorite focus of the board lately.
I agree baseball till at least Fall Camp wraps for football!
Women’s Gymnastics finished undefeated in B1G...that’s banner worthy
Bolivia with free trips for all "interesting" posters
assuming you mean me, i think i'll take my fly-fishing gear. i hear they have trout in bolivia.
Not you XM you're the world's most interesting MGoPoster (not /s)
I would like to see Shea Patterson in the banner. It’s awesome to have a QB with an elite presence. I don’t think we have had that presence since Henne. Robinson was certainly talented enough, and ha silently if charisma, but I think the crap offense of Borges and Hoke prevented this intangible presence in rambling about.
Until football season starts, the banner should pay homage to the mens baseball team and their run to the cws final.
I like Shea but is he "elite"? I didn't think so last year...if I'm wrong please tell me why honest question.
Edit: Meant as a reply to Gucci above...I suck at the interwebz!
You suck with your takes too... (only half kidding!)
I honestly think Shea is going to surprise a lot of people this year. Kid gloves are coming off and he'll be able to air it out/showcase his skillset. He WAS a 5* after all - they don't just hand those out to anyone ya know? Ultimately I think it boils down to how well he grasps the new offense and how long the offensive line gives him in the pocket. Excel at both of those things and I think Shea has the weapons to play his way into a first round pick.
"He WAS a 5* after all - they don't just hand those out to anyone ya know?"
They gave one to Derrick Green...
See Shane Morris. (who was downgraded to 4* after having mono his senior year.)
Fair, every bunch has a bad apple or two...we just get stuck with them more often than not!
With the changes Harbaugh made and the kind of recruits he is getting and I am 100 percent behind Shea being let loose by Harbaugh, I mean Gattis. We are going to see risk/reward offense and Shea is going to excel. He is built for it.
I can't promise he will be elite but if we are really going to run the offense we have been hearing about it sounds more suited to his skill set. This leads me to believe he will be better than last year and he was pretty good last year.
Baseball, Baseball, Baseball !!!
until September.
I’d stick with baseball and let’s go with a hair theme. Tommy Henry’s always so kempt mane on the left, Jordan Brewer’s coif on the right, and Joe Donovan’s wild thing in the middle being tamed by his Team “153” headband.
OT section: My current cool story bro moment came last Friday. Tommy Henry and a few other players and Ben Bredeson we’re sitting outside Goodtime Charlie’s as we were walking back from Pizza House . I said thanks for making our Michigan spring so enjoyable and yes my wife thought Tommy and his hair were just cute as a button.
No pictures, just giant block letters: BPONE
Because we can't have nice things.
Baseball theme with guest appearence from muderwolve.
Some UM baseball guys, maybe add Hutch, plus Gattis and Shea (they've inspired more offense interest than any others in the last few years).
We clearly need a quick link to all blog posts about any possible recruiting violations by any possible Michigan boosters providing speculative evidence (with minimal context) for the NCAA so that we can be Leaders in Transparency.
It should also have a link to all the contributing OP home addresses in case they go Andy Moeller for some unexpected reason totally unrelated to their being dirty rats.

Speed In Space and the death of MANBALL. Highlight the stars of this team - Shea, DPJ and Collins
Throw in a few more receivers dressed as astronauts carrying Michigan helmets with Shea leading them on their walk to the challenger.
Bredeson should be on there: "it all starts with the line." For the first time in a long time I feel good about our OL going into a season.
I wish they would go back to the banner tourney. Some truly awesome submissions.
It's a "dead" period. Michigan is an elite university with an elite AD led by a roster of outstanding coaches who do an exceptional job of presenting their players with an exemplary experience of what interscholastic athletics is truly about. There should be a banner that pays tribute to Manuel and this fine staff of coaches who define "elite" in the best of ways...and "win" the Directors Cup.
There should be no banner until we beat OSU.
It should just say MGOBLOG with no pictures, because, by the time that picture should be updated, the picture it is updated to should also have already been updated.
So we get a baseball one at the end of August? I'm down with that.
The Mgobanner should be the video of poor Bud Dwyer shooting himself on an endless loop.
Because that's what being a Michigan football fan is like.
Ps. Don't look for that video, you don't want to see.
Ughh... I want to neg you to oblivion for this shit. But fuck if it isn't true...
That's why I say "hey man, nice shot."
/90s music references
I agree with baseball till football starts.
In football season it'd be nice to have a speed in space theme.
Something with JH and JH might be cool.
Just spit ballin' here, but Franz Wagner's mom is always a favorite.
MGOBPONE
I think having all of the Head Coaches of Michigan sports up there would be cool...
I’d like the banner on a new App
but put a baseball cap on him
Taylor Lewan seems to get a lot of play on the board, lately. Perhaps a picture of him demonstrating proper OT technique, as an inspiration to the younger tackles.
Great question, something current, something exciting, something with a nod to the past traditions...MurderWolf!
Rowing.
By WD's count...
https://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/michigan-athletics-dominated-ohio-state-2018-19
... rowing went 4-0 vs Ohio State over the past season, the best record of any Michigan team vs the hated Buckeyes.
To be 100% serious, though, no Michigan teams is currently more deserving than Baseball, at least until the start of the 2019 Football season.
Chimpanzees, lots of them.
I'd like to see the picture all the other sports coaches took at the CWS in support of the baseball team. That was something special to see, that coaching (fraternity? sorority? what do you call it when it's both women and men?).
Like there is any question? DPJ doing the Paul Bunyan!
