I'm all for it. Maybe he's waiting for all of the assistant coaches to be hired?
January 16th, 2011 at 3:26 AM ^
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.

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
January 16th, 2011 at 3:28 AM ^
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.

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.
January 16th, 2011 at 3:41 AM ^
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!!!!!!!
January 16th, 2011 at 3:48 AM ^
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!
January 16th, 2011 at 4:43 AM ^
YOU KNOW IT
I'M GONNA KEEP POINTING UNTIL SOMEBODY TELLS ME WHO SAID THAT
January 16th, 2011 at 10:03 AM ^
Underrated comment for hliarity there.
January 16th, 2011 at 8:20 AM ^
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.
January 16th, 2011 at 4:16 AM ^
.....yea it needs to change.
January 16th, 2011 at 6:53 AM ^
January 16th, 2011 at 7:18 AM ^
I do agree that the banner needs to be changed. Not quite sure if this is the best way to go about it, though......
January 16th, 2011 at 7:31 AM ^
January 16th, 2011 at 7:51 AM ^
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.
January 16th, 2011 at 8:30 AM ^
Brian is a busy guy who enjoys taking the weekends off. Chill out
January 16th, 2011 at 8:32 AM ^
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?
January 16th, 2011 at 8:32 AM ^
...a new banner would be good for the soul...
January 16th, 2011 at 8:33 AM ^
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.
January 16th, 2011 at 8:44 AM ^
Keeping the banner the same is almost like a kid still pouting in his room.
And yes, I am sober.
January 16th, 2011 at 9:02 AM ^
I think he should be replaced by a ham sandwich.

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.
January 16th, 2011 at 9:38 AM ^
A lot of this looks speculative to me (e.g., impact on recruiting, Hoke knows Brian doesn't like him and won't come back).
But this, in particular
Players currently on the team know that Brian is not supporting them.
is outright incredible. Does anyone think BC doesn't support the players? And even if so (again, incredible), how does anyone know what the players know?
January 16th, 2011 at 9:44 AM ^
Players currently on the team know that Brian is not supporting them.
This might be just a touch, um, crazy-ass ridiculous.
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.
January 16th, 2011 at 10:02 AM ^
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
January 16th, 2011 at 10:12 AM ^
Coach Hoke knows that Brian doesn't like him and he probably won't come back.
January 16th, 2011 at 10:17 AM ^
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?
January 16th, 2011 at 9:37 AM ^
You guys provided me with entertainment while I was up all night with my newborn son.
January 16th, 2011 at 9:40 AM ^
to you.
(Raising morning glass of orange juice) Here's to a healthy baby boy.
January 16th, 2011 at 9:43 AM ^
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.
January 16th, 2011 at 10:17 AM ^
As in Peter and Mickey? Or Mike and Davy? Either way, I'm a believer.
January 16th, 2011 at 12:12 PM ^
I think the banner you describe would be an upgrade. And hilarious.
January 16th, 2011 at 9:45 AM ^
We need an updated version of ANGAR whose rage is directed at Brian.
January 16th, 2011 at 10:00 AM ^
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.
January 16th, 2011 at 10:14 AM ^
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......
January 16th, 2011 at 10:17 AM ^
Just curious.
January 16th, 2011 at 10:35 AM ^
So what exactly is wrong with Brian's banner? I think it's nice.
January 16th, 2011 at 10:59 AM ^
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)
