Okay, since you want to play the "who has an insightful comment" game. Why not post this in the dozen other threads related to changing the banner? You offer no reasons behind changing anything...nothing funny, nothing with a different perspective.

Why not go sleep it off? Posting dumb shit like this is bad for everyone.

Yea, but there are a lot of other places suited for saying this. When a thread is prefaced with "Yea, I'm drunk, so what?" or whatever variation the OP used, it's probably a terrible thread.

For what it's worth, this thread does suck. I like the banner - - - I think it's funny. If you don't like it, go away!

Also, to the OP, I have no doubt that Brian appreciates your unsolicited advice. Next time, put down your appletini and chillax, bra.

Why does it 'really' need to be changed?

Perhaps this is Brian's commentary on the state of the program; it's not like it's been months since the coaching change and the search. The emotional baggage related to the event(s) hasn't dissipated to nothingness just yet for many of us. I think a parallel would be, when does the Christmas tree come down? Right after Christmas, after the New Year, a week after the New Year? Is it a matter of beliefs or propriety? Considering it is HIS blog, I think the decorum is his to determine; personally, I think the lack of change is a message sent and when he's finish sending his message, it will be changed. Either that, or he's in the midst of a bender and might not even know who he is.

Agreed

I almost feel bad for Brian to have to listen to this.

This is his blog - something that any human being (in the developed world) can create to express his or her opinions and do what they want to do. If you don't like his banner, or his "whiney ass rhetoric", then don't visit the blog. It's not Brian's fault that his opinions and work happen to be so good that his blog has become the place to get M football news on the web.

Of course it's only natural to have an opinion on things, but to act as if your opinion is better than Brian's - while not doing 1% as much for M football fans, and having comparatively less insightful information to share is only an expression of what an egotistical ass you are.

If you want the blog to be different than start your own - I'm sure you'll get just as many visits as Mr. Cook.   /s

Yea, the banner does need to change. But that doesn't make this anything other than some dumbass comment that has already been discussed at length. I think Brian knows by now that his readership wants a banner change. This adds nothing to the debate.

Hey, jackweed

I get more action in a week than you've had in your entire life. I've got houses in L.A., Paris and Vail. In each one, a 70 inch plasma screen. So I suggest you wipe that stupid smile off your face before I come over there and SMACK it off! You feeling strong, my friend? Call me drunk one more time.

Anything, something more snappy. Even if its hillbilly rock

Wait, wut? We're not talking about music of choice for the  blog? This is about he banner? Whats wrong with the banner. I figured somebody finally won the contest. Kinda creative. Brady should be green, though. You wont like him when he's ANGAR. More reason to stop with the Smiths. Who knows what mood that will set off

Wow....good morning to you. Looks like you boys had quite the night raging over such important topics as the banner design.

Now...go get some sleep cause later today we're gonna need to decide on some really important issues like Hoke's DC...the strength of our recruiting class and what's going on with the BBall team.

The Banner

I say we at least have a shadowy outline or two in the revised banner to symbolize our anticipation of a defensive coaching staff. That's my only suggestion.

This banner = fail

I agree that it's childish. It also pessimistic, condescending, and filled with DOOM. Here's the thing. Recruits who are deciding whether or not to come to Michigan are free to look at this site. Players currently on the team know that Brian is not supporting them. Coach Hoke knows that Brian doesn't like him and he probably won't come back. I'm not saying that the recruits willl make a decision based on it, but it can't help.

Speaking inteligently about the hire is one thing. Crying over and over again about how RR was treated vs. Hoke, or how RR shouldn't have been fired is whining.  I think we should put together a team of monkeys to create an alternate site for people who don't want to see this bullshit until it is changed.

Amazing idea.  It's just crazy that Brian is the only one to create a Michigan sports blog on the whole internet. Good luck with that.

Last time I checked this is still Brian's site and if he wants to put up a banner showing gay monkee sex with recognizeable religious and political figures watching he can.  It's his site, it's his banner and they are his rules.

This thread was hilarious. Also, if Brian wants to put up a banner with Hoke's face and a surveyor's symbol, that's his god damn right. Now if something awful happens he'll have to deal with a shitstorm and we're all welcome not to come, but it's his god damn right.

As for the "whiny-ass-rhetoric," I think Brian has told you what he thinks, which is mostly FOAD.

everything now that we have a coach

From left to right:

1 Picture of DB is not a happy pic (he looks like he's got a bad case of tacopants)

.2. The "coaching carousel" is over. The ride stopped and Hoke is our dude.

3. The explosion went with the "Doom" comment that has since been changed to dancing with fancy shoes that sparkle in the moonlight.

4. Seriously? Brian didn't think Hoke had a chance of becoming our head coach, and not taking his candidacy seriously is not really something I want to be reminded of daily. I'm a Michigan fan who supports our coach.

5. Chucky. I really like the first movie, but as with all horror trilogies this got worse as it progressed. No, really I thought Gruden would have been a good idea. But again, we have a coach now who is not an announcer for MNF.

6. The Kitty. However cute this little one is, it doesn't need to be held. BH is a good coach that will build our program back to the top of the B1G where it belongs. We don't need to be coddled because we're gonna kick some ass with this guy.

(I liked the banner before the hire, now that it's over it doesn't make sense)

Two points:

  1. You care an awful lot about some stupid shit that really doesn't matter at all. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Brady Hoke has other things to worry about than the banner of a fan site that he almost certainly doesn't read.
  2. The banner all last year was the Minor one, and he didn't play for M last year. So maybe Brian just takes a long time to change his banners.

The reality of a blog that becomes successful - it stops being one guy's property and becomes the property of the larger community.  This blog is now an important representation of the fanbase.  When the first thing that greets you upon your visit here is a visual image mocking our coach and AD, that doesn't reflect well upon us.

thank you

I felt like I was crazy for really disliking things around here lately.... I have decided to stop fighting the anti-Hoke crap here. It's not doing anything, (mostly because my argument skills are sad, and I end up just making people mad) and I really think all these people will come around. I mean, there might be some people who become fans of whoever RR coaches next. Most of these peeps will still be Michigan fans. They will still buy tickets, turn on the tv, and support the team. Go Blue!
