Back in 2015 I was getting increasingly anxious about seeing how much we hated each other. I don't mean Ohio State-Michigan fans, I mean Americans. It was political, leave it at that. Between the sentiment of we cannot survive by hating each other and being gutted by Chad Carr's story and just the bullshit idea of children dying from cancer, I thought hey maybe let's channel righteous anger-hate for something else.
Every year, no matter what. Do some good when you win, do some good when you lose. It's petty cash that you can use to snowball into something significant, but also something not constructed from righteous anger-hate. A Michigan charity for Ohio State fans to fund. There are plenty of worthy and legitimate charities if you're interested. This is the one Ryan Day began
Day's father died by suicide when he was nine years old. It's a mental health charity you can learn more about at the link. Congrats on the win, it's the best feeling.
It’s been four years since your shitposting privileges were revoked from a rival school’s web site. A healthy person would have forgotten about that in, at most, a day. It should have been a blip moment in life’s rich pageant.
However, you have spent those four years on MGoBoard regularly shitposting about your ban and about me, as if anyone here gives a solitary shit about Eleven Warriors, me, or you.
Here’s the reality, which you’re clearly detached from - no one here cares that you were banned from Eleven Warriors. No matter how many times you copy and paste that exchange from 2014 on MGoBoard seeking some sort of retribution or comfort, it’s never going to come. You’re better off leaving it behind.
It’s been four years, man. It’s not even your feelings that were hurt - it’s your pretend online pseudonym’s feelings. Nobody knows who you are. Let it go.
Apologize for interrupting the discussion - carry on.
“That is exactly what I told Ramzy, and so I am no longer a member at ElevenWarriors.”
You’re not a member at Eleven Warriors because I banned you, the same way you were banned here. You were banned because you were injecting your impassioned Gibbons defense into multiple 11W stories that had nothing to do with Michigan or Gibbons, and you were passive aggressively bashing me, a guy who owns the web site. I told you to stop and you didn’t.
And years later here you are, still upset about it. Good. It warms my heart.
PS - I want you to know how fucking creepy it is that you show up at 11W events. You have no friends there.
John sent over a copy of the book for me to preview and I deliberately ran a new excerpt and staggered it from the others you've seen already to aid with its promotion.
My review of the book - which you will both vehemently love and hate - runs this afternoon. Spoiler: It has a happy ending. For you.
[During the Ohio State-Northwestern game this year, 11W's Ramzy Nasrallah tweeted that he wished Urban would sometimes be more willing to grab what he wanted rather than always taking whatever the defense gave him; in this case he meant NW'ern couldn't keep Hyde from getting 4 YPC against 8-man fronts so why keep throwing to Philly Brown in the space that provided?]
Hyde was unstoppable, so Ohio State dropped Braxton Miller into the pocket and forced him to read defenses and turned what should have been a back alley ass-kicking into an unnecessary track meet.
I'm not saying I feel your pain, but I feel your pain.
I won't call myself eloquent, and I'm hardly impartial - but even with everything working against me (Ohio upbringing obviously trumps my other deficiencies) I'm partial to my Tatgate work.
You might have missed this one. Note the date, and the title (for those of you who see "Genovese Myth" in a Google search but fail to actually click the link and read the details)

An open letter to my stalker, Section 1.8.

And cut your goddamn hair
Here.
"Roster management" wasn't intended to be a barb. New coach/philosophy accelerates normal attrition. Torched is too strong of a word.
