Your MGoName
I can't remember this being posted, if it's ever been done, so if it somehow slipped my attention I'll apologize now. Even so, we have quite a few new peeps around here, and I am constantly wondering why you chose your MGoName.
Some, of course, are obvious.
Some are not. Like, "Brian." Always confused me.
Why did you choose yours?
I'm really hoping Misopogon answers.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:10 PM ^
Your name requires an explanation.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:37 PM ^
If it's not GoBlueScottish, IT'S CRAP.
January 28th, 2010 at 1:04 PM ^
I'm pale blue myself.

Although Lamarr is a very smart Michigan graduate, he is a freak that reminds me of a giant with broken english, thus WoodleyIsBeast. He is such a man-child, he couldn't possibly be literate, but he is....!

I am late to this party but.. I grew up in Japan and became a ninja. My pet Rat clawed my face. I then felt so much shame I hid myself and called myself the Shredder. I moved to the states where I ironically ran into the same rat but now he was huge and also was a ninja. He had four Turtle sons who I fight on a daily basis. I once had to take a trip to AA for foot clan convention and hit a Michigan football game for the hell of it. I was hooked. I am now a huge fan and still have yet to get my hands on those Turtles.

You assassinated Splinter's master, he was never your pet!

I made my screenname sometime during the 2008 Election. Just wanted to sign up really quickly and couldn't think of something, so the constant images of Obama being drilled into my mind just made it happen for me.
For what it's worth, I'm a Republican and can't stand our President, but that's for another site.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:46 PM ^
You had me worried.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:54 PM ^
For the love of Angry Politics Hating God...
January 28th, 2010 at 12:10 PM ^
I live in Midland, Texas, which is in West Texas, so hence West Texas Blue.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:27 PM ^
I thought I had been there, but was thinking of another town
January 28th, 2010 at 2:46 PM ^
Isn't that the town that Friday Night Lights was based on? I may be mistaken but that name rings a bell for some reason.
January 28th, 2010 at 3:34 PM ^
in Odessa. It's just outside of Midland. (Like Dexter to Ann Arbor.)
January 28th, 2010 at 4:12 PM ^
Thats right but they sent Boobie to Midland for an MRI and he yells at the Dr. Now I remember.
January 28th, 2010 at 7:42 PM ^
I think my name is even more obvious...

I just thought I was clever transforming "MICHIGAN" into "WICHITAN" (see avatar).
Although it's really not all that Great. To be. A Wichitan Wolverine...
January 28th, 2010 at 2:08 PM ^
Haha, kinda assumed it was because you were from Wichita, KS.
January 28th, 2010 at 2:32 PM ^
Well I do currently reside there but I am in no way, shape, or form FROM Wichita.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:11 PM ^
Because Butthead was already taken?
January 28th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
Minor would instill his rage on last season. Unfortunately he spent a little too much time rehabbing the injuries for it to come to fruition very often.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
I cover the crime beat for a newspaper in SW Florida.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:17 PM ^
So how are Michigan States' recruits looking, anyway?
January 28th, 2010 at 12:25 PM ^
I am a michigan alum and a proud parent of 5 and 3 year old boys, a 1-1/2 year old girl and a baby on the way. On a side note, I tried to find a still of the dad from 'How I got into College' as my avatar, but couldn't find one. For those of you who aren't up on crappy 80's movies, the main character's love interest brought her dad on a college visit and he came in UofM garb from head to toe. Keep on the lookout for me. Thanks

You better buy a TV for your bedroom or you are going to have to build an addition on you house... Very prolific.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:26 PM ^
Thanks for the laugh.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:53 PM ^
very slick lol
January 28th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
I was at a party one time, and one of my friends said I look like a Viking. I'm 6'3" and 246.4 lbs. (as of this morning) and I had wild facial hair at the time. He gave me the nickname "Magnus the Berserker."
January 28th, 2010 at 12:19 PM ^
Come on. Admit it. Your name is your name because you are really Magnus the Viking, the mascot for the Cleveland State University.
I saw you rush the floor last year after the first round win over Wake Forest.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:28 PM ^
That's weird. Based on that picture of you that you post alongside your name, I would say that you look more like a girl who is about 5' 7".
January 28th, 2010 at 12:57 PM ^
And definitely not 246 pounds...
January 28th, 2010 at 1:04 PM ^
I hear the camera takes off 120 pounds or so.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:31 PM ^
When I'm on MGoBlog on my phone, sometimes when I'm scrolling fast I misread your name as "Magnum".
January 28th, 2010 at 12:49 PM ^
Would somebody give this girl what she's after please? J/K
January 28th, 2010 at 2:28 PM ^
I've been watching Magnum P.I. on Netflix (streaming) for the last week so this makes me smile.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:58 PM ^
Boy, Freudian slip...?
January 28th, 2010 at 1:56 PM ^
Mangum would be better.

About as subtle as Lloyd talking to the press.
January 28th, 2010 at 4:00 PM ^
And here I always pictured you as the Vegetable Lasagna guy on the airplane in that one Seinfeld episode.
January 29th, 2010 at 4:01 PM ^
Fatass
January 28th, 2010 at 12:12 PM ^
I grew up watching superstars like Stacey King, Cliff Livingston, Randy Brown, Bobby Hanson, and Dickey Simpkins just destroy people for years. How could I not be a Bulls fan?
Ergo, I love the Bulls and M an equally unhealthy amount.
January 29th, 2010 at 2:51 AM ^
We should be best friends. Rose made the all star team! Woo! Woo!
January 28th, 2010 at 12:13 PM ^
Blue- lifelong Michigan fan.
Chip- CMU Alum.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:16 PM ^
That's actually pretty clever, IMO.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:49 PM ^
not a bad movie either,
although it is blue chips
January 28th, 2010 at 12:18 PM ^
I had assumed it was your 5-star posting talent.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:21 PM ^
That too, but I hate to admit publicly that I was making a pun.
January 28th, 2010 at 12:46 PM ^
With your explanation of what it really means, the recruiting reference, and your avatar... you've created the rare triple entendre. Nice work!
January 28th, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
Battle Creek by any chance?
