You might be an MGoBlogger if...
In case the sports news is a bit slow today, here's a bit of humor (with apologies to Jeff Foxworthy) for your Saturday morning. I'm sure some of you creative posters out there will be able to come up with better ones than I have, but here's a few to get started.
You might be an MGoBlogger if...
*you read a news story about Michigan atheletics and realize you know 10x more about the subject that the reporter who's getting paid to know these things.
*your significant other suspects you of having an online affair because you're constantly slipping away to check the computer.
*you wake up late and hungover because your MGoBlog surfing of 15 minutes and a beer turned into 5 hours and a 12 pack.
You meet a relative of your girlfriend who is a Ohio fan and he brings up a name of someone we just got a commitment from and you then go on to list every player we have received commitments from and explain our full depth chart for 2013 and 2014.
...the Free Press is dead to you.
...you have a twitter account exclusively to follow TomVH and Sam Webb (and a few other recruiting gurus not named Mike Farrell)
...you're at a party and still need to check MGoBlog "just in case".
...you plan "MGoBlog breaks" into your work
...you know Bolivian's weather this time of year. (It's supposedly really nice)
...you plan work breaks into your MGoBlog time.
Three Star Mafia.
Slot Ninjas.
Grit as a construct.

Smart, heady, confident player who consistently puts himself in position to make plays. Has good closing speed and takes good angles in pursuit. In coverage, he shows good awareness and solid ball skills. He does not yet have ideal size and strength but is an excellent form tackler. His enthusiasm for the game is contagious and he's a true leader to his team mates. - Allen Trieu |
If you see 130 replies to a thread and you make yourself believe that what you had to say isn't that important, someone's probably already said it, and nobody will see the comment.
you might be an mgoblogger if you call a cat an LOLCAT in real life.
You still hold out hope of seeing RoJo, Gholston, and Diggs wearing the Maize and Blue.
All your friends about the state of recruiting even though none of them care.
I am guilty of this, I'll gladly inform anyone who mentions football about how our recruiting class is, whether or not they care. Luckily I have a couple friends who also intently follow recruiting/are mgobloggers which result in us having hour long conversations about how we see the current class ending up.
You can't hear the word "tide" without thinking about Brady Hoke and tshirts.
...reading this thread on an off season Saturday.
. . . or if you're visibly upset that you missed this thread the first time around.
You play Where's Waldo with Lloyd Brady at every UM sporting event......find him....giggle....then try to explain to everyone in the room who he is......you wouldn't understand....giggle
if you stay up on a Friday night waiting for a "hello dee hart" post and then can't sleep when it comes through
If your drunk already and its not even 3.
If you drive your woman nuts with ignoring her while reading hello posts, and she has been a season ticket holder from pretty much birth.
If you post about the walking dead while watching it, and still ignoring her
You say "plus one" out loud when someone makes a good point in a public place.
You have asked someone to send a Bolivian postcard when they have said something dumb in public.
Your significant other thinks you are addicted to Angry Birds when you in fact don't even have it on your phone.
...you measure a coach's success by how his hire has affected jersey sales.
...you associate muppets with good news.
...you associate kittens with bad news.
If you have to explain the term "taco pants" to your friends because you keep screaming it during a game.
Whenever you hear someone say Michigan you have the urge to yell fergodsakes.
When the IT guy at work shakes his head when he see's your internet history is only full of Mgoblog instead of work related items.
You know the first rule about never talking about something isn't actually Fight Club.
You care about that thing you don't talk about even though it doesn't matter.
Space Bitches, Space isn't a low budget porn to you.
... if you argue about whether a subject should contain "OT" or not.
... if you first read about a natural disaster or other major event on MGoBlog.
If you post on here!
... if you know what "Thought Equity Motion" is and hate them with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns.
about mega-corporations trademarking school colors and forcing teams to use highlighters instead of dyes.
When your worried friends tell you to relax and talk about calming things like politics and religion.
should be kept open at the top of the MGoBoard at all times. Great stuff.
When you cant watch football games with live people because they dont understand your intensity like your live blog "friends"

You refer to your wedding video as a "Hype Video".
Still check the blog in April when there are no Michigan sports currently in session (sorry baseball and softball)
You can't talk about politics without freaking out
...you can remember important numbers by roster numbers of former/current Michigan football players. For example, there are Rod Payne-Alan Branch feet in a mile, my wife's birthday is Wheatley the Henne'nth, my gym locker is Braylon-Braylon's Old Number-Braylon.
. . . if your MGoFriends (ones you've never met or really ever had more than a 3-post exchange) are cooler and more fun to spend time with than your real friends.
. . . if the Moderator Sticky is more enjoyable than other forms of entertainment.
. . . if you start to believe that certain posters actually look like the avators they chose (I'm looking at you, Dark Blue).
. . . if you judge people's worth by the number of MGoPoints they have.
. . . if you physically start to sweat before you click on the "Post" button before starting a new thread because you're afraid about posting something that's already been discussed.
. . . if a video of an atomic explosion makes you think of JHackney.
If you get mad when your post gets down-voted
If you LOL'd in this thread
If you care about Arizona football
If you know that dreads = dilithium speed
If you think we have a shot at beating 'Bama
If you refer to the team(s) as we
If you know anything about Michigan Softball
and your first thought is that he killed 5 hookers at SMU.....
Gotta love this post from the Bobby Petrino thread.......
What a strange way to dispose of your prostitute, Bobby. Call me next time for pointers.
