Hey, non-Michigan fan here. I am rooting for you guys. I really like Harbaugh. Probably now that the pirate is no longer with us, the most interesting man in football. I really dig his obsession with the Fitzgerald sinking. Go win it all. Good luck.
the dreaded double post. It must do this when you take too long to finish your post. I wrote and rewrote that post several times to avoid veering into any unsafe areas.
Also rereading my original post again, I hope no one takes offense by what I said. Visiting tigerdroppings was eye-opening. It makes me appreciate having robF around.
I tried going to tigerdroppings and got nowhere. It seems to have been scrubbed from the internet. What I did get was falling down a very weird political hole that was beyond bizarre and frankly unnerving. After reading that board, I think today is the day I am going to go out to pick up a firearm.
Also re: "Sometimes I wish our Michigan conspiracies were even 1/10th as crazy as your average SEC powerhouse." WHY would you want that kind of drama/insanity??? I think it's entertaining but only when it is another program.
I just read a similar article on CBS. I came directly here to ask if I have somehow landed in some bizarro world because it said number 1 target for Texas, assuming they strike out on Meyer, would be PSU's James Franklin!!! Is this real life? What is going on??
Hey! It's not that bad. I admit, it is kind of a dump but there are worst big ten towns. West Lafayette is worse. I've never been there but East Lansing sounds terrible.
AWESOME! I knew there had to be at least one other AFOL on this board. The MOC is very impressive but Im more impressed by your room. Very nice use of space. I wish I could do the same thing but with kids it is so much harder to keep things organized.
I know you guys want blood but I just don't think you can fire anyone during this pandemic season. Too many mitigating circumstances; to me it doesn't even really count its just a extended spring season. I don't expect things to get better and logically you make hard decisions now rather than put them off, but I think UM has to wait until next year.
I am not seriously suggesting any of this just curious, but why dont people ever go after Dabo? I dont like the guy but he is the only one that seems to be able to beat saban and I cant imagine there aren't schools out there with deeper pockets than Clemson.
I suggested another candidate but deleted it as I dont want it to end up on a bulletin board as a look at how delusional UM fans are.
Wow that worked thanks guys! Sorry did not mean to hijack your thread. I do hope you beat MSU. I used to get slightly annoyed at the little brother stuff but after Nassar and everything else, F those guys forever.
No Im not a UM fan and no Im not WD. My brother went there for a masters and bachelors in Chem Eng and I really like mgoblog. More just a general CFB fan. Im more into volleyball these days. Can I stay?
Halloween is a big deal for me and my family. We always hand out full size candy bars. This year: Toblerone (50g). Having eaten half a case though of these things, I think they are highly overrated. Whatchacallits are my favorites but I ate so many one year Im kind of sick of them.
Also yes, we are individually bagging treats (full size plus 2 fun size and one small toy) then placing all in buckets with someone standing by to make sure people dont go hog wild and keep groups from mingling.
After the huge jump in points last week going to try again for a few more upvotes so I can create a thread.
My Plan: I would like to be the resident volleyball expert (my fav sport) and would like to document the upcoming season and the next. UM has a great team and is gearing up for a run at a title (national and conference). Yall should check out the sport, the big ten is the top dog, the sec is a joke, UM owns OSU and MSU for like the past decade. Also you need more fans; your gym is tiny, games regularly aren't steamed despite costing pennies to do so. Anyway thanks in advance.
Im guessing we (I work for Illinois and marginally root for them) didn't get any infections on the defense. I dont think they got within six feet of anyone. Thank you Ill be here all night, tip your waiter.
Jokes aside none of the people I know that are close to the team have heard this but I dont have any deep connections, fwiw.
So what is the difference between the diaries vs message board and how does one post in the diaries? I want to document the volleyball teams season this and next year as they have brought in a great team that could very well compete for a title. Im still building my post count though.
Im a huge Harbaugh fan, even though Im only peripherally interested in Michigan*. As we have the same employer and run in the same circles, I can attest that Lovie Smith is a genuinely good dude, just wish he was a better coach.
*Its a long story why I am here. I dont have any rooted interest in Michigan other than my brother went there, I just enjoy college football in general and really like Mgoblog and the community here.
Question for the mods or anyone else really. I enjoy the podcasts but sometimes I wish I could read rather than listen. Any chance you could use some text to speech software that could provide a rough, uncorrected written transcript? Just a thought, kthanxbye.
Actually I read the article, looks like he was cleared. What's standard procedure for allegations for wrong doing, hold them out of competition? Suspension from the team? I guess not as bad as I thought.
Oh mami. I should not have looked at that pic before having any food today.
Speaking of food, I remember Brian doing a foodie review of restaurants of AA. If anyone has the link handy let me know, I need to bookmark that page for a future trip.
Women volleyball actually breaks close to even at a lot of schools. Turns a profit at two schools, Nebraska and Hawaii.
Sorry just boosting my point count. I want to start a thread to ask you guys on recommendations on where to visit Michigan. Thinking about a fall trip and something next summer.
Also I wouldn't mind being the resident volleyball coverage guy. Michigan has brought in a monster class and is gearing up for title run, imho. Would I do that in diaries?
Wow like many people I had no idea he was sick. What scared the hell out of me is he was born the same year as I, he was 3 months younger than me. I have never been checked for colon cancer. Think I will do that.
Hi Im trying to get my points up so I can make a post so this is a throwaway comment. But how does fantasy football work this year with the strong possibility football gets cancelled?
Aww what happened to the big ten roundup with jamiemac? That is my favorite actually. Was really looking forward to hearing their comments after this weeks hijinks. Gues will have to wait until next week.
Also yes the soiund is way off. Sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom with all the echo.
Trying to get a report finished by Monday. Total amount written today: "The model area is centered on ". I may have to work this weekend. Totally worth it though. USA all the way.
I follow the fighting Zookers a bit since I work for their University. Anyway, you're giving props to the wrong man. At the end of last season, the AD told Zook he had to make several compromises or else, including firing most of his coordinators from Florida. I don't think Zook had much input on their replacements. Supposedly, Zook is also prohibitted from making any in-game play calling as well. This is as close as you can come to firing a head coach without actually doing it (they probably would have if they could but they probably couldn't afford to). Illinois still had some stud recruits on defense that had been injured or were hold overs but it is apparent the defense has vastly improved.
You are right though, Illinois is a good example of how you can start over yet still keep the head coach.
Hey I lived down the street from this school! But I didn't go there, I went to a Catholic school. Its in the burbs of Cincinnati and is one of the nicest looking places in the city, good neighborhood. The school is excellent too, always has one the highest number of National Merit scholars. But it is a small school so it they play at a lower division level. They still produce some great athletes. Probably more than you wanted to know.
I really don't think Brazillian women are as hot as everyone thinks they are. All of South America is loaded but I think the best are from Venezuela and Colombia. They seem to produce the most winners of beauty pagents. Also, yes I have spent a lot of time in South America but not that much in Brazil.
I meant to post this sooner, but I want to thank Brian and all for the coverage, it really was key in my conversion. Never paid attention before this one, and the stuff from Brian was key.Wow that was heart breaking, I don't think I ever had my spirit crushed by a team like that. I know I never felt the urge to listen to the Smiths and Morrisey before. I still can get over the feeling like we a golden opportunity slip through our fingers. Anyway interesting comments on where people believe things are headed now that it's over for us.
One question from myself the noob: now what do we do? So is it like a three year off season or is there something we can follow in the mean time? I haven't read one positive comment about MLS. Anyway, it was fun while it lasted guys.
I am hoping for Ghana (Australia would be awesome but that's not likely). I don't think we do well against Eastern Europeans teams. But I think Serbia is more liekly.
Is there any chance for a liveblog of the USA-Algeria game? I know this is a Michgan site but seriously what else is there for the moment? Another billionth article on divisions or further expansion?
That was awesome to see the US come back but heart breaking to see it get stolen at the end. I still feel good about our chances.
I don't follow soccer but my South American wife has dragged me in. Question: Please tell me a South American team is not going to win it all? I know nothing about this game but I get the impression this is Argentina's to lose if their cracked out coach doesn't screw it up (come on you fat bastard, I know you have it in you!). So does anyone have some snappy comebacks? South American football fans can be as insufferable as OSU fans. It's tough though to talk the right trash but still stay on the side of line that keeps me in the bedroom and off the coach at night.
Cool! Maybe I will wear my armor too. I can also provide a place to change if you need it since I work a block from the stadium. See you guys there.
p.s. this is my first comment after 2 years of lurking. Nice to be here.

Agreed. Also one of my favorite albums. Nice choice.
I just read a similar article on CBS. I came directly here to ask if I have somehow landed in some bizarro world because it said number 1 target for Texas, assuming they strike out on Meyer, would be PSU's James Franklin!!! Is this real life? What is going on??
That would be perfect. I really hope this happens.
Hey! It's not that bad. I admit, it is kind of a dump but there are worst big ten towns. West Lafayette is worse. I've never been there but East Lansing sounds terrible.
What do expect him to say? We suck and I should be fired? What good would that do. As long as he is coach he is going to say stuff like this.
That was actually very painful to watch. It's obvious from his body language and tone he knows he has failed and can see the writing on the wall.
AWESOME! I knew there had to be at least one other AFOL on this board. The MOC is very impressive but Im more impressed by your room. Very nice use of space. I wish I could do the same thing but with kids it is so much harder to keep things organized.

Best thing on this blog after UV.

Dont I know it.

Ive never had a facebook account and never will. It's amazing to me how many organizations rely on it unfortunately. It is how our PTA communicates.
wow, didnt realize he was that old. my advisor graduated Arizona and was a rabid fan.
Illinois fans hated his guts for some reason. Oily lute or something?
man am I ever going to get up to 100?

So many golden quotes. Goldfish brains is my fave.
74. Damn this will take forever.
75 to go.
