4 weeks 2 days ago This will always be a mar on

This will always be a mar on Brandon's legacy and its resolution is not something for which I'm grateful to him.

"MMB Members and Staff:



We just received an email from AD David Brandon saying that Athletics has now decided that, with the help of some donors, they will be taking us to Dallas for the Cowboy Classic game vs. Alabama.



There are many details yet to be worked out.  For example, we do not yet know exactly how many students and staff will go, and we don't know for sure when we'll be leaving or returning.  Please be patient as we sort these issues out.  We will let you know when we know.



I'm excited that the MMB will be there to support our team for this historic event!



Go Blue!

It's certainly possible he's holding out until a donor steps up, but "I'm going to do something shitty unless someone pays me otherwise" is not a great way to run an athletic department in the long term.

I suggested #MMBtoDallas as the hashtag. Someone tape it to the door of Ann Arbor Torch & Pitchfork.

In his last game against Michigan? In Breslin? How much did it affect David Molk in the Sugar Bowl?

I hope he sits, of course.
20 weeks 21 hours ago "Yakety Sex" is the best

"Yakety Sex" is the best neologism possible for what happened on that play.

Did you coin it? I'm afraid to Google it to find out.

Armando Allen was out of bounds. LOL, ND.

The Farah brothers - one of whom wrote the movie, the other founded Funny or Die - are both Mgoblog readers. If you saw the movie, this would be obvious from the choice of song they used in the movie's final scene.

"I wrote a thing" is a modest understatement for possibly the most powerful story written about Michigan Football in the last decade.
27 weeks 1 hour ago Your required reading for

Your required reading for today is MGoBlog's "Eleven Swans":

Intelligent people do not spend a goodly swath of their life pouring emotion and precious time into a contest that affects no one and changes nothing except some inky scribbles in media guides. 

You wonder why. It occurs that at some point the Michigan program acquired the traits you hold dear -- loyalty, honesty, tradition, victory. And you wonder: if you were a different person who valued other things would you care so much? It occurs that at some point the Michigan program acquired other traits you share but do not hold particularly dear -- cantankerousness, stubbornness, an inability to suffer fools gladly. And you wonder: do I like Michigan because of the way I am, or am I the way I am because I like Michigan?

The answer seems clear.
27 weeks 2 days ago Agreed. Be cordial and offer

Agreed. Be cordial and offer visitors a beer while explaining how having your entire team on the field during a play is a penalty.

Make a little extra chili and share it with red-clad passersby while noting that having to cheat in order to beat unranked teams in overtime does not make a national champion.

See, you can be bitter without being a jerk!
