19 weeks 1 day ago	Seconded	I'm with you there. **Edited to say I just really want a better mobile experience. I loved the MGoBlog HD app and while I understand its shutdown the existing app leaves a lot to be desired. I thought I remembered something about a redesigned app coming as well which would be awesome, but at the very least a mobile-responsibe site would be a huge step forward. Of course, I'm a 12-year addict (woo Haloscan!) so I'm going to consume like one either way. The upgrades would be nice, though.
1 year 11 weeks ago	This	1000x this. I've been visiting this site in a variety of ways daily for 10 years, but I've relied heavily on MGoBlog HD because it was without a doubt the best experience. Most of my viewing came from there. Admittedly, that hurts Brian & Co.'s bottom line, but as a past supporter and someone who consumed daily I would be MORE than happy to use the MGoBlog HD app for a cost or even a small monthly fee if I knew it was going to the site's revenue. I used the original MGoBlog app a couple years ago and the experience was awful. No way I'm doing that or viewing this site on Safari. He may gain a few more page views from me over the course of the month, but my engagement will drop dramatically. I might open the MGoBlog HD app 10 times per day. No way I'm visiting the page on a computer more than once per day. My advice to Brian is to find a way to get the developer for MGoBlog HD on board and find a way to monetize the thing. Everybody wins there.
1 year 32 weeks ago	Not Worth It	When my wife went to check her purse last week she asked specifically if she could bring hers and was told no. Of course, you could try to hide it. I would say it's not worth it. A couple people in front of me at the game were sent all the way to the bag check and ended up being 15 minutes late to the game.

2 years 1 week ago	OP, sorry you're getting	OP, sorry you're getting crushed here. I mean, even though this is a Michigan sports blog, I agree with your perception of the community and therefore potential interest in the topic. Anyway, it's definitely something I think about. It's usually more expensive, but at the same time it is so because someone is making a fair wage to create it. More than anything, I simply don't buy clothes very often. I wear mine out. That's a way for me to make sure I'm not contributing to some of the injustices you mention. It is tough sometimes to want to buy something that isn't yet available because they're out of stock and will be for a while. I wanted to buy a hoodie from Love 146 last year but they were completely out of stock and would be for a while. But that's part of the trade-off. In the end I still think it's worth it.

3 years 36 weeks ago	My thoughts on it are mixed.	My thoughts on it are mixed. First, Michigan has totally priced me out of going. Used to go to the home opener and a second game every year until the huge price jump. Haven't been to a game in over two years now. That said, this package made it possible for me to go and make what would have been at least a $105 trip for me before gas (hour south of Chicago) to a very manageable one. So, I'm glad for that. Also, the best-ever seats I were at my second-ever game...The Horror, which were $55. Nice to be able to get tix and the other perks 7 years later for roughly the same price. On the other hand, I hate supporting the matchup and am saddened by how far the program has fallen. If we can't even sell out an opening game, we're in trouble. We've laughed at the near-begging that the AD has resorted to, but it does make me sad to think of where the program is headed under the current administration. No matter the case, above all I support the uniform (*insert uniformz joke here*) and will be there to support the guys wearing it, regardless of whatever the H Dave Brandon is trying to do. Go Blue.
4 years 32 weeks ago	Agreed.	Count me in the don't-like-it crowd. Giving a Heisman winner's number to a QB with 6 starts to his name? And #98 at that. Stupid. Of course, the Legends jerseys are dumb anyway. Still irritated that they changed the numbers on Kovacs, Funchess, and Ryan.

6 years 43 weeks ago	Congratulations, Brian!	Congratulations to Brian and the MGoFiancee (I still remember when she was MGoGirlfriend or MGoSignificantOther)!  We appreciate your work around here.  Hopefully your wife's blog can gain the following yours has someday!  Best wishes and lots of happiness to the both of you.
7 years 11 weeks ago	Sparty or not...	This guy is getting +2 from me.  This is exactly what I've been saying to my friends.  Cool out on this.  Obviously the comparison isn't the same given that Michigan had its worst football year ever in 2008 and MSU is still going to finish above .500 and be a bubble team or a top NIT seed, but it's close enough.  Michigan fans have no right to get upset about the "Scoreboard!" business of 2008 and then turn around and prematurely dance on the grave of a team that could very well bounce back next year and be on its way to another Final Four.  I love the success M seems to be building in the basketball program, but it is going to take a lot (a heck of a lot more than one down year) for Michigan to overtake MSU as the top basketball school in Michigan.  Let's cool down a bit.
7 years 33 weeks ago	For the record...	Since nobody has mentioned it, I'll throw this in the mix: Pat White was listed at 6'1", 191 as a senior on his ESPN player card.  That's an inch taller but two pounds lighter than what ESPN has listed.  Looking at his game log, he missed only one game in totality during his four years.  I know he did get banged up at times as I seem to remember him messing up his thumb (maybe?) against USF one year (I believe...don't feel like double-checking), but in terms of missing much PT it was not a big deal.    I've heard lots of naysayers mention that he won't be able to take those sorts of hits against physical Big Ten defenses.  There may be some harder-hitting defenses near the top of the Big Ten as opposed to the Big East, but in the middle and bottom of both conferences I bet the defenses are pretty comparable.  I'm not too terribly worried about it.  Still, the fewer hard hits he takes, the better off we'll be.
7 years 33 weeks ago	Cosigned with everything above	I've been reading MGoBlog since the 2006 season and it just continues to get better.  Being as informed as I feel I am just feeds that much more into my fandom and really prepares me for what I'll see.  I may bore the hell out of people when I talk about UM football, but it's worth it.  Just donated.
7 years 36 weeks ago	I'm about as obsessive as they come...	so I'm really surprised I don't know the answer to this...but either I missed something about Conelius Jones in the offseason and this is correct, or this list (and the website) have accidentally omitted him.  I looked through this list a few days ago and didn't see him.  Nobody mentioned it here in the comments so I just may be googling him to make sure there wasn't some offseason news I missed about him not qualifying or something like that.   UPDATE: I fail.  Or rather, Jones failed.  I have found my answer on this.
7 years 44 weeks ago	LBs	They scared me the most.  In reality, the entire back seven should and the DBs should be at the forefront of that concern, but these rosters really make the LBs seem like the biggest.  Who knows; could be a foreshadowing of things to come.
8 years 9 weeks ago	And dude...	Sam, you're totally the OP! Small world!
8 years 9 weeks ago	Hmm...	Since we're playing grammar police, that would be "should HAVE thought of on that airplane."
8 years 22 weeks ago	The INTs really did suck...	but at the same time, I feel that we wouldn't even have been in this game if it weren't for Tate. Smith had some pretty good runs here and there, but overall the run game was absolutely shut down. He made a lot of good plays and converted some big third downs. How about that 23-yarder to Mathews on 3rd and long? He's a freshman, and I feel like he really did seem to come on strong again at the end of the year. He made some big mistakes this year, but he also did it against the defense who more than anyone in the country makes QBs pay for mistakes. To think that he won't be the starter going into next year is asinine. More than anyone, Tate gives us the chance to win. Furthermore, to think that DG won't be redshirting is also ridiculous. Tate has what it takes to be successful here and wasting a year of eligibility for DG rather than getting a year of separation between he and Tate/Robinson would be foolish. We're not bringing in Terrelle Pryor for Todd Boeckman, here, people. With our talent at QB, DG will be able to redshirt. Tate finished the year with a 58.7% completion rate, 2050 yards, and TD/INT ratio of 13/10 (with this being his only multi-INT game). I'll take that from a true freshman starter anyday. Tate, rough finish, but thanks for what you did this year. Minus a few rough games (Iowa, Penn State, Ohio State), you were pretty much as much as I could've expected.
