UM fans never cease to amaze me.Only 3,000 more!

Submitted by no joke its hoke on

We may have had some rough news lately but to see that we have "raised" almost $12,000 in one day to help Brian and all the other writers is awesome! I really enjoyed the past HTTV so was glad to send some money to try and help out some. Lets try and get to that $20,000 before the end of next week! Thanks to all that helped out so far and if you have never ordered HTTV before THIS is the year to do it!! Go Blue!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Unreal! there is a real chance to get to $20,000 tonight!  I hope this shows Brian and everyone that is apart of this blog what it means to us fans.

Agreed.  The key is for us to tell our friends and family.  I have a lot of M buddies and relatives who I know don't read MGoBlog but would love to pre-order HTTV or have purchased it in past years.  I sent an email out to about 8 people who I know all will click the link and pay at least the 15 bucks.  If everyone does that we'll be there in no time.

Not to take any credit away from us as a group, but I'd say we "spent" 12 grand, not raised it.  This isn't for a cancer fund, this is to buy Michigan stuff.  Now, it does show the quality of HTTV as well as the intensity of our fandom that there are 330+ people who have already pre-ordered the book on the first day they heard about it. 

Most of the credit goes to Brian and crew for putting out a good product.

I like to support anyone who goes it alone. Have my own business and sunk a lot of money of my own into it so it's nice to be able to help someone out who is going through the same thing.

It's surprising how often I see people on MGoBlog during classes. Probably around 40% of the guys in my classes on computers open up MGoBlog at some point (at least in the more relaxed classes, in more intense ones not so much). It really does have a pretty big readership (with the majority being lurkers, who do not have accounts). Does anyone know the stats on the number of hits MGoBlog gets regularly?

I pledged, and to me, for the experience I get here, it is worth every penny. 

How good is it? I'll put it this way - my 69 year old father, an Indiana alum and MGoBlog lurker, has opted to pledge $100.

In their defense they're not offering magazines in exchange for their donations. But in defense of someone who doesn't agree with that defense if everyone is willing to pay $15 for the magazine and everything on top of that is fluff (minus the t-shirt I guess as well), he's gotten about $6,000-$8,000 in "donations" in just one day. That;s about 1/2-2/3 of what they've gotten in 2 months. Not too shabby.

Of course I would spend a little extra to get the autographed version, BUT THEN I REALIZE IT NEEDS TO BE PRESERVED FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. So then you pop another 15 down to get an issue you can look through. Genious.

Interestingly, on the 2009 edition Brandon Minor is running with a football with the Michigan logo on it.  I thought the away team brought the game balls?
