Yo Brian
no, thank youuu for the insightful commentary, i m glad u took the time to post that shit
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.
Go away and stay away
EDIT:meant for OP, replied in the wrong place, oh phonez on the interwebs.
This OP might be FuManBolivian-worthy. Our friend, FuManBlue just got done telling everyone not to drink and post not two days ago. And what does the OP do? Just that. Neg-bang time!!!
The OP posts something stupid, gets POS-banged, then you get negged. I'm confused, so very confused.
and what not
in his defense, the banner really needs to change.
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.
Somebody lives on the boring side of Division Street.
Watch what you're saying about Kentwood man.
HAHA I think there are other cities with Division other than Kentwood.
But yeah, watch what you say about Kentwood.
The east side of Division knows how to throw down too, there are just fewer of us.
Wow...you are getting massacred on this one.
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.
in fights... KING KONG AINT GOT SHIT ON ME
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.
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
Banner? I barely know her!
it's time
var allImgs,thisImg;
allImgs = document.evaluate('//img[@src]',
run_at: document_start
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);
for (var i=0;i
var src = thisImg.src;
var srcMatch = src.match('^http://mgoblog.com/sites/mgoblog.com/files/cc-banner-3.png');
if (srcMatch != null) {
thisImg.src = 'http://mgoblog.com/themes/tapestry/images/jason-minor-bp2.jpg';
}
}
Now set that cider on fire.
That's a sin where I come from.
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.
How does your fourth or fifth comment whining about it add anything? If you're not interested in the thread, stop reading it.
I just realized that if the last 3 years have established anything, it's that any negative statement about a coach, no matter how reasonable, is "whiny-ass rhetoric."
Brady beats Bama in '12? No way in hell that happens.
Nice to see you have faith in the team.
He's been a member for a year and a half.
That was an excellent Alabammer team. SEC Champ
Tom Brady's Michigan Masterpiece
Thank you. Seeing this made it worthwhile to read the thread on the most inane post of all time.
Hoke celebrating at 6:29, second clip. Love it. He looks so young and happy.
He meant Lloyd Brady...
Why don't those that dislike the banner so much just go ahead and design a better one?
This score still makes me happy. In a vicarious way.
It's Saturday night, you're drunk, and you're on MGoBlog instead of getting laid.

Play some better music around this place
The Smiths are too mopey
I'd prefer some words I can dance too and melodies that rhyme
Dude check this out:
Download the "Element Hiding Helper For Adblock Plus" extension. There you go.
I'm all for it. Maybe he's waiting for all of the assistant coaches to be hired?
This might just be one of the most hilarious threads ever...
Pro Tip for the OP: Shut the fuck up. This isn't your website.
He's an angry drunk. I like that kind.
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.
Tough talk through an Elf reference? Very impressive
I mean maybe something like this.
If you dont like me fire, then dont come around. We dont come here for the cheerleading after all.
... how has this not been deleted yet?
mods are asleep, post moar Kipling: "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."
In my opinion, I feel like the people on this site have some venting to do still, this thread has provided a place for that to happen.
I mean anything but the Smiths. Makes me want to sit in my garage with the car running
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
WHO SAID THAT!!!!!!!
EOP
Besides, this is a Brian Cook joint. That banner stands forever long he wants. ARE YOU SAYING YOU DONT WANT TOMVH TO HOLD YOU!!!!!
WHO SAID THAT!!!!
This is MGOBLOG for God's sakes!
YOU KNOW IT
I'M GONNA KEEP POINTING UNTIL SOMEBODY TELLS ME WHO SAID THAT
Underrated comment for hliarity there.
I'd like to see an entire row of kittens asking "Hold me TomVH". We all need him to give us great news on a daily basis.
.....yea it needs to change.
SRSLY?!
I do agree that the banner needs to be changed. Not quite sure if this is the best way to go about it, though......
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.
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.
Brian is a busy guy who enjoys taking the weekends off. Chill out
Yeah, I do my best creative writing drunk and in front of the computer, missed my window of opportunity last night though yesterday, had to go to a thing at the high school, no booze there. Have to make up for it today. What was this about? Why did I read this to the end and decide to post anyway? Why am I asking myself questions?
...a new banner would be good for the soul...
To finally make the switch over to one of the new banner designs. Although, I will miss the "I can haz hoke?" and "Hold me TomVH" kitty.
Keeping the banner the same is almost like a kid still pouting in his room.
And yes, I am sober.
I think he should be replaced by a ham sandwich.
*you're* bad at grammar
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.

This might be just a touch, um, crazy-ass ridiculous.

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.
You are out of your god damn mind. And talking about the difference in media attention is re-god-damn diculous HOW AM I THIS MAD AGAIN THE MAN IS GONE GOD DAMN IT
Coach Hoke knows that Brian doesn't like him and he probably won't come back.
I'm just curious what kind of kickass servers you're gonna get for those websites. I mean, Brian's struggling to keep these ones up even though his blog is terrible. How are you going to handle all the traffic of a blog that's actually worth going to?
You guys provided me with entertainment while I was up all night with my newborn son.
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.
As in Peter and Mickey? Or Mike and Davy? Either way, I'm a believer.
We need an updated version of ANGAR whose rage is directed at Brian.
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.
Wait a second......so you're saying the reason some kids decommit is NOT because of what they read on this blog????? And that a person who pays for and maintains a website can decide what goes up on it???????
But, but i had thought WE had the power......
Just curious.
So what exactly is wrong with Brian's banner? I think it's nice.
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)

save some kool-aid for the kids
Two points:
- 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.
- 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.
Dear...
Are you getting cold sweat flashbacks of your time in Bolivian?
I am getting pretty tired of having to look at Dave Brandon's soulless, lying face every time I want to check MGo for news and hilarious cat pictures.
It's Brian's blog, he can do what he wants. Go to another site if you don't like his banner. Or maybe start your own and put up your own banner.
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.
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!
Agree with you, Hambone. (I always liked that nickname better than "Moose.") It's time to move forward.
