Turns Out Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Was Right
You all remember that time back in 2018 when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the former hardline president of Iran, randomly tweeted an opinion about Michigan football? Well, it turns out he was right.
What happened is that in September of that year – for whatever damn reason – Mahmoud decided to start tweeting about American sports, so he offered up the opinion that it was unfortunate that Colin Kaepernick wasn’t on an NFL roster. A Michigan fan named Fred Zimmerman responded by saying “We have much bigger problems here. #Michigan is 8-8 in its last 16 games under @CoachJim4UM.”
To which the former president of Iran responded:
Turns out we should have listened to him! The man might be a nut job, but he knows his football. The next time somebody is on vacation, I think he should join the MGoBlog Roundtable.

This is one of the weirder posts in recent memory.
August 1st, 2023 at 10:23 PM ^
Which is really saying something.
August 1st, 2023 at 10:33 PM ^
At least we're not discussing Ahmadenajad's anal glands.
August 1st, 2023 at 10:47 PM ^
Are they a source of low enriched uranium?
This is slightly enriched gold, right here!
"At least we're not expressing about Ahmadenajad's anal glands"
yet...
Is Ahmadenejad a silent commit?

I'm sure he could add depth at DB!
August 1st, 2023 at 11:47 PM ^
It's a solid call back to something I had completely forgot about.
August 2nd, 2023 at 12:39 AM ^
He's definitely not a crook.
There's this side of him, too. Complicated fellow...

Logged in for the first time in months just to post or comment about this if it wasn't already posted.
It is absolutely brilliant and one of the funniest things of the last ten years- not just on SNL but anywhere.
Nut job blends in.
Blow glue?
Can you even begin to imagine having that stored up for all these years while you wait for just the right time to post it?
Right up there with the "fuck lion" tweet.
as well as "I ain't come here to play school"

Weird but awesome! Well done OP.

How about a roundtable of Lukashenko, Erdogan, and Robert Mugabe breaking down Michigan's NIL approach?
August 1st, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
Don't forget about Marcos. That dude knew how to kleptocrat.
Oh, and Idi Amin too. I don't think that dude ever missed a seat at the table (round or otherwise) in his entire life.

Mugabe might be a little late - I wouldn’t recommend holding my breath waiting for him to show up.
Maybe Dennis Rodman can get Kim Jong Un to show up and weigh in on the Harbaugh NCAA level one violation nonsense. Kim discussing hamburgers should make for compelling radio.
Kim Jong Un is a fan. Though he believes we need more aerial assault and less "ground and pound". He wants some deep bombs this year.

I have no words. Except those.
August 1st, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
Spectacular! Underrated! No words - excuse the previous words.
Sentence tale chasing.

I knew ol' Mahmoud wasn't such a bad guy after all.
August 2nd, 2023 at 12:46 AM ^
His real name is Leroy Brown and he's badder than old King Kong.
August 1st, 2023 at 10:11 PM ^
He was Mr. Brightside back then
Pump it Up!!
August 1st, 2023 at 11:27 PM ^
More like Flock of Seagulls
Iran, so far away.
August 1st, 2023 at 10:13 PM ^
He also warned the President of Russia Vladimir Putin that if he fails to stop the invasion [of Ukraine], he would have "no achievement" to show for it, only remorse.
Now that you mention it, this guy may be on to something...

Inshallah.

It's a little known fact that Ahmadinejad got a Master's in social work from Wayne State so he's pretty familiar with the culture here.
August 1st, 2023 at 11:42 PM ^
I don’t get it. He’s a civil engineer and didn’t go to Wayne State. What’s the joke?
August 2nd, 2023 at 11:50 AM ^
But Kasey Kasem went to Wayne State so nothing else matters.
He was a great point guard at LSU.

So here is what I don’t get. This guy is horribly anti-Semitic, probably borderline evil. While it’s interesting that he is commenting on Michigan football, I don’t think he is to be celebrated here in any capacity. I mean it seems most people here hate Elon Musk, but this guy gets a free pass?
August 1st, 2023 at 10:38 PM ^
Um, we aren’t exactly celebrating him. Did we really need to put “/s” on this?
August 1st, 2023 at 10:47 PM ^
That’s not the point. If Elon Musk tweeted something interesting about Michigan football, this board would go into full meltdown about how horrible Elon Musk is.
Mahmoud A? Crickets. I don’t get it.
August 1st, 2023 at 11:11 PM ^
You have my attention
Truly, excellent false equivalence. Just an outstanding example of two things that don't even come close to being comparable in any way. Making Elon Musk an imaginary victim in a tongue-in-cheek thread about a former Iranian politician's Michigan football-related tweets shows Ben Shapiro-esque talent in whataboutism.
It's pretty funny that you've repeatedly whined about the "politics" on the board but pull stuff like this. Nobody is advocating for his domestic policy solutions, it's a funny thread about a funny tweet that's meant to be funny.
Elon Musk is as relevant to this thread as Hunter Biden.
What are talking about?! In the past 2 months, Elon Musk has been mentioned in the threads on this board at least 5-7 times and the board went apeshit.
and this has nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with an evil anti-Semite. You injected politics into this, not me. I mean, I’m sure you’d agree this guy is a horrible evil tyrant, right?
so why don’t you take a hit and chill the fuck out.

Fabulous example of lack of self-awareness.
dude, just take your L and move on
This is my way of taking the L and moving on.
