Here's why I may not buy HTTV and my overall blog reading has decreased...
-Info overload: Now that I have twitter on my phone, I check it every half hour or so and get all UM info as it happens, which involves clicking links to stories at various sites. Honestly, by the time it hits MgoBlog (board, UV, or whatever), I've already seen it. Rather than read about it again, I'd rather watch twitter for "new" news. The society we live in now. Have page hits trended lower over the last year or so as twitter has got more popular?
-Mobile MgoBlog: I dont see the Kickstarter reminder on the mobile app everytime I open it like I used to when I accessed mgo through an actual laptop. I'm sure this is true for others as well.
-Lack of optimism and excitement: This has been covered already, but I think it's compounded by the fact that MSU had a great season and is now recruiting very well. A lot of the 2015 and 2016 in sate kids lean MSU, which is just hard to take. Add in PSU and Franklin killing it in recruiting.
-I think a lot of people are turned off by Brandon and the politics/marketing of college football in general. Big rivalries being cancelled, weak schedules, conf realignments, lack of NCAA enforcement, etc. We're all realizing that UM has fallen back and probably won't get back to the old glory days as long as the SEC and current NCAA structure exist.
There's more but these are all key reasons for me.
"They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple.
Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago.
My biggest worry - Those insider bits saying the D Line was looking good was just due to the bad o-line rather than the D performing against a good line in practice.
Why is this creep so close to the program, or at least many of its players/recruits? Something doesn't seem right, and I'm guessing he is giving them improper benefits. Why else would OSU send out the warning today?
Sounds like there could be even more coming and itt's not going to be good. More violations? This after Gene Smith says OSU is "too big to fail". Insane.
Brian said (Twitter) something about WOTS is that DeVeon is slowing his recruitment down. Anyone know what exactly that means? Still visiting this weekend? I don't want to lose this guy.
Not gonna land Green this early, if at all. I'd say maybe on DeVeon but will he try to commit before Isaac and how with the coaches handle that situation?
He's also a whiny player who constantly complains to the refs, then hammers Indiana's players and nothing is called. Ridiculous. Always saying "bullshit" and waving his hands at the ref. Technical?
