9 weeks 6 days ago	in the latest searchbits,	in the latest searchbits, brian says that mysterious internet person 'GFunk' has gone to 100%.  the guys on the victors board and board 5 always refer to mgoblog as GFunk's website, or @mgoblog's tweets as 'GFunk's tweet'.  Brian is GFunk. GFunk is Brian.  So brian has just tacitly given us an indication that he believes with 100% certainty that the deal is done.  Laces out.
11 weeks 5 days ago	he is in need of a front	he is in need of a front tooth. you should offer yours.
12 weeks 1 day ago	i just went through his	i just went through his entire post history on reddit, spanning five years. aside from being incredibly misogynist and inflammatory, nothing about his posts indicate that he has any special connection to the Michigan AD.  Never makes a mention of his brother at Michigan in any of the hundreds of posts on r/cfb.  the guy lives in tempe arizona (may or may not have graduated from ASU), married, works for a backend financial services outsourcing company, is 31 years old, and never gave any indication that he (or his supposed brother) have an in at the Michigan AD.  his only inside connection to football seems to be a cousin who played football for Northern Arizona University in the late 80s and 90s, but he is only mentioned once and not having anything to do with inside information. in fact, judging from many of his past posts, he has a real disdain for michigan - talks a lot of shit about michign during debate about the rematch running up to the bama-lsu national title game, and his dislike of michigan pours through elsewhere.   for such a prolific poster on r/cfb its a bit strange that he doesn't know the name of stephen ross, which has come up numerous times on that board this year (and previously). i would take this post with a HUGE grain of salt. his prediciton may be right, but i really doubt he has any inside information.
12 weeks 3 days ago	trade would be red berenson	trade would be red berenson for harbaugh. mike babcock then fills the head coaching vacancy at yost.  michigan defeats ISIS. half life 3 is released.

13 weeks 2 days ago	it was almost disinterested	it was almost disinterested and indifferent. maybe im reading too much into things, but its clear he doesn't really give a shit about the 49ers anymore.
13 weeks 3 days ago	where can i get some of them	where can i get some of them soundcloud likes?
13 weeks 4 days ago	as much as i despised	as much as i despised brandon, the student athletes sincerely loved him (so it seems); clearly brandon wasn't doing everything wrong - he took care of his primary charges (athletes) - but he failed to understand that the athletic department/athletes is/are just one parcel of the michigan community.   if brandon can gain the trust the athletes, i am hopeful that at the very least hackett can gain their trust as well.  and from everything ive heard and read about him thus far from his time at Steelcase and his time on the football team, i believe that he will bring to the table that awareness and sensitivity to the concerns of the larger michigan community that brandon lacked. that being said, im willing to give hackett a chance, despite his lack of an AD background.
14 weeks 1 day ago	I think hoke will announce	I think hoke will announce his resignation shortly after the MD game, effective after OSU. avoids the ugliness of a firing and gets his team motivated for OSU.

16 weeks 6 days ago	what a bunch of entitled	what a bunch of entitled asshats.  schlissel was right, the department does really need a culture change.  i'm actually paying tuition to this university, perhaps i should have more of a say about how my university is run than a bunch of sneering freeloaders. fuck them.

20 weeks 6 days ago	was at the hockey game	was at the hockey game earlier tonight (had to leave early for a meeting at school), and the vitriol aimed at brandon permeated the student section - resounding chants of 'fire dave' came often, particularly when ads played on the video board.  even more encouraging of my beleif that student fans would get behind this protest.
20 weeks 6 days ago	im going to talk to some	im going to talk to some people I know at CSG tomorrow to see if they are willing to help us in any way.  if there are any other student volunteers who want to help me champion this cause, shoot me an email at umjd2016@gmail.com   also shoot me an email if you have any other ideas about how we can make this a reality.  i'm certainly open to suggestions and to calibrating our strategy to make this work effectively.   cheers, eddie.
21 weeks 2 hours ago	if we start campaigning now	if we start campaigning now and making the seeds of this protest visible amongst the michigan community, we can get in front of the message and everyone in that stadium will know exactly why we aren't there for kickoff - to demonstrate our discontent with brandon's incompetence as athletic director.
21 weeks 6 hours ago	fair point, but i really	fair point, but i really don't think the football team can be embarassed any further.  we keep talking about how disgruntled the students are about ticket prices, lackluster home schedules, etc., but all i hear are complaints and no action.  A rally will get quick notice from fans and the media, but we need something more than 500 students milling around the diag.  brandon has to go, and he's been clever to craft these protests as abberations and deflect public outrage at the handling of concussion gate by countering that it not an indicative baromoter by which to gauge support for him and his policies.  and even if you think this may 'embarass the team', we should not embarass ourselves by reinforcing brandon's own discordant beliefs about his relationship with students, and his piss poor treatment of a very VERY serious health issue.  instead of taking the lead (promoting research at the university, testing concussion sensors, etc.) on this concussion issue, brandon has decided that giving the trainers walkie talkies (why didn't they have them before?!) is going to prevent further miscommunications.  something needs to be done to effect change around here, and signs and rallys aren't going to cut it.  i strongly believe that if the message of this protest is molded correctly and publicized pervasively, it will NOT be construed by anyone - fans, players, announcers, etc - as a slight against the players and the team itself.  this is about brandon's mismanagement and stupefying rationalizations for his despicable behavior.
