two questions about UM blogging
Okay, I have a dual purpose with this survey. One, make myself feel a little better.
Two, find more stuff to read. So here are my questions...
1) How many times do you check the UM sites? I find myself coming to them multiple times per day (even in the off season) and I am wondering if I need help. Please tell me some of you have the same problem.
2) Other than mgoblog - what are your favorite sites to find UM football stuff?
Thanks -
1) yep
2) WLA, Varsity Blue, MVictors, Maize n Brew & recently The Wolverine Blog which seems pretty good
a) Saving Private Ryan
and
b) Jello
Chrisgocomment. Save issues, plus I always read GBMW because of the nice site layout.
If cheching this site multiple times a day is wrong baby I don't want to be right. In answer to #2 I work 12 hours a day so I only come here, Freep and Bighouseblog. If I had more time i would do more.
This guy was brought to my attention the other day and seems to have some potential...

MGoBlog, VarsityBlue, RBUAS, WLA, Three & Out, Freep.com Wolverines, MLive - Wolverines, The Bacon Blog, The Daily - The Game, WBCN Blog, mvictors, Maizenbrew, When Carcajous Attack!, Stadium and Main, and the "big-ten-bloggers" feed. The big-ten-bloggers feed includes mgoblog, maizenbrew, mvictors, and maizenbluenation. A lot of the time you can catch other bigten blogs discussing Michigan as well. I get most posts on those sites within an hour of being posted on the site.
I also subscribe to several mgoblue.com feeds, including both public feeds and self generated ones for features.
For college football in general I keep up with EDSBS, Wiz of Odds, Awful Announcing, Rittenberg, and Doc Saturday.
Update: And that's just football, I also keep up with Yost Built, and several other non-revenue sports both at Michigan and around the BigTen (if my baseball posts didnt signal that).
I'm not saying this to be critical at all, but you need a girlfriend.
Try match.com. That's where I found all my vict- I mean, ladies.
She can be under your desk while you read.
If that's all I wanted, I'd buy a Dust Buster.
Dust Buster won't push itself.
I shudder to think about what you'd say about me if I told you the full extent of my RSS feeds... I need a home? Genitalia? DNA?
and she prefers google reader. it keeps me from wasting more time to surf around to read everything.
Google reader? I haven't tried that position yet. Must be time to update my Kama Sutra.
It involves night vision goggles, chili powder, a wet rag (preferably warm), at least a 56k connection and a whole lot of enthusiasm.
Besides this site, UMHoops is a great fix for those with a basketball jones.
I do the Mgoblog thing, obviously. Additionally, I visit the daily (I follow all of Michigan's best sports; fine, you can call me a "within the family" band wagoner), I read Rittenberg's daily vanilla sundae, and I spend most of my online-CFB time on a Big Ten message board--one which I contend is the best of its kind on the web.
As for the URL of that message board: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=451&f=2364
And, yes, that probably makes it look a lot like a scout.com message board. Well, it isn't. Which is to say that the board developed elsewhere about a decade ago., and it has maintained a suitably low level of lame contamination.
Figuratively, I got on board roughly eight years ago. At just about that time, collegefootballnews.com scooped it up (to bring the site more daily hits). Later on, say two or three years ago now, collegefootballnews.com (which since became cfn.com) was gobbled up by scout.com, and our board's namesake and URL did, too. Nonetheless, the people remained. Today, there are a lot of level-headed, intelligent, affable, and well-versed folk over there. Not to mention, it is nice to discuss football from perspectives outside Michigan Biodome from time to time.
