Not sure if that picture was taken when all of the folks in the frame were caught off-guard, but, look at all of the dead eyes.  Not a single person has any sparkle or enthusiasm in their eyes.  Just my observation.

First lurked in late 2007…

First lurked in late 2007 right after Lloyd announced his retirement.  Became hooked because the content was so much better than anything I had ever read.  Lurked for a couple years before signing on. F5 key is pretty worn, 98% from this here site.

Favorite on-field memory of 2023:  Tipped pass to Mikey Sainristil in the Alabama game. Still can't believe how that turned out.

Anger moment:  Cheap shot on Alex Orji vs MSU.

Surprise player: Kenneth Grant.  Did not realize that he was that great of a player.  A freak.  

Favorite feature:  Game previews.  Really brings my expectations to within reason and makes the game experience more mentally manageable.

Highest ever was 2006 UM-OSU.

Pretty sure that was 1993.  Still sucks though.

I like what you're doing…

I like what you're doing here.  Would be nice to see you do this every week that there is a common opponent.  And maybe somehow find a way to chart them overall as they go along.  The only snag for me is that caveats apply that can't be accurately charted using this methodology.  Will read anyway.

 

Fair point.  Gattis could…

Fair point.  Gattis could have handled the situation better/classier on the way out the door (I still think the way Greg Mattison left was slightly worse). But commenters' seemingly overwhelming happiness that he's gone/"he wasn't that great,Harbaugh called all the plays anyway.." rhetoric is a bit bonkers to me.  Broyles Award-winning coaches don't just grow on trees.  His body of work in 2021 (although not translating to the same success so far in 2022) was pretty damn good.

This 100%  I kept reading…

This 100%  I kept reading and waiting for someone to bring a sensible comment to this thread.  Gattis isn't a terrible OC.  As I remember it, he has been the best OC in more than 12 years, as our record will attest in 2021.  FFS, we beat OSU, (put up 42 on those guys as a matter of fact) as well as another 42 points in the B1GCG. And I'd bet a paycheck that Harbaugh was not calling any offensive plays.

Jeezus you guys.  Gattis turned out to be a great fit for UM.  Harbaugh is the one who forced Gattis' hand in leaving by leaving everyone on his staff in limbo during his "I wanna be in the NFL again" tour in the offseason.  What would you do in that situation if you were Gattis?  I still have a bad taste in my mouth regarding how that whole situation went down.  I'm also not convinced that the 2022 OC duo is going to be better than 2021.  Time will tell.

Let's not shit on a guy who brought us some of the best offensive football that you or I have seen in a long spell that actually mattered.  I'll take the Gattis 2021 offense over the previous 15 years.  I know how I felt after finally beating OSU and getting to the CFB Playoffs.  Sound like a lot of you don't realize that.

EDSBS was fantastic.  It was…

EDSBS was fantastic.  It was my daily 2nd tab open behind MgoBlog for a long time.  The commentariat was the best community - the "Hate" was friendly, and self-deprecatory, very much like a tight group of buddies who don't take themselves(or anything else, for that matter, except food) very seriously.  It was FUN snark.

Until about 2-3 years ago. They changed the format at SB Nation and made their site layout unbearable to view.  Spencer became a businessman; he wrote and interacted less.  The site became a very disorganized view:  ads, links, and other garbage were everywhere, the site was in a constant state of loading, making it difficult to read when it was constantly jumping around, trying to load ad after ad.  

I tried to keep going back but I had to stop trying.  It was brutal.  I tried to keep reading, mostly for the commenting community that I so loved, but the format turned me off so much, I stopped going there.

MgoBlog has started to lose it's fun snark.  I really hope the anger that I keep seeing here is just a phase.

I would upvote you if this site would actually let me.

See?  Goddammit, I want to upvote this post to infinity!  Because I understand it and I know what it means!  And it's funny!   But, I can't.  I can't even see upvotes/downvotes. And nobody, not even the mod who I asked (twice in the same thread) why I cannot see them, knows why I can't see upvotes/downvotes, and am unable to upvote or downvote posts. 

Please, for the love of God, someone tell me why I can't see or upvote awesome, quality content on this quality site, or downvote absolute garbage trolling fuckwittery.  Please.  It's been too long.

MgoHillbilly:  Excellent post.  I wish I could upvote you.

So how many points does it take to see the upvotes/downvotes??

I don't even see these "thumbs" that you speak of.  Where are they?  I'm logged in.

I'd like to know as well.  I've been here for quite a while, don't really post much, but I don't have the ability to vote whatsoever.  I can't even see who is getting upvoted or downvoted.  I think I had about 300 MGOpoints before the changeover.  I see a bunch of posts that are just absolute shit/asshole/fuckwad trolling, but I'm powerless to downvote.  I see great post that I am, again, powerless to upvote.  Can someone explain what I'm supposed to do here?  Do I need to go on the posbang threads to get enough points to see votes?  Because I'm not going to do that. 

I'll add my name to the list…

I'll add my name to the list of folks who can't see or participate in Up/Down-voting still.  I'm pretty sure I have over 300 of those points everyone is always talking about.

Can someone please let me know if I'm doing something wrong?  I've even re-started my laptop.  Twice.

Old.  New site doesn't show…

Old.  New site doesn't show upvotes/downvotes, and the white background is headache-inducing.  I'll still wait and see how it shapes up, but, if the powers-that-be are reading this, they already know what needs to be worked on.

Walked away thinking we got

Walked away thinking we got screwed by the refs/didn't hit our free throws.  Walked back in to see the last shot.  It was pretty good.  We then ate subs.

Drevno needs to go.

So does Jay Harbaugh.  I've never been so sick and ashamed of this garbage of an offense as I have tonight.  I expected it from Hoke.  This is on Jim.  5 turnovers?  How easy did we make it for sparty?  Looked like they went base D the whole night...didn't have to even think of a wrinkle.  Garbage, garbage, garbage.  Holy cats do I miss Jed Fisch and Tyrone Wheatley. 

Fuck me to tears.

No Positives here from me

We lost Jedd Fisch, and we are lost.  This is as bad as Brady Hoke offense ever was.  Neg me all you want, but there is no imagination whatsoever on the offensive side of the ball. Shame on us.  Shame on Jim Harbaugh for this abomination of an offense.  We are not a contender.

Don Rickles?  Guy is a spaz.  I mean, people make fun of Harbaugh for his sideline antics, but that dude takes it to a new level.  Needs to wipe his mouth, too.  He had way too much TV coverage today.  Looks like a total  'nozzle.

I like how he took a couple

I like how he only took a couple in the beginning, but he used his feet to get out of the majority of the rest and made something happen.  I was having a 'Brady Hoke offense' flashback in the first quarter today,so anything after that seemed pretty ok to me.

Youtube channel "Sailing SV Delos."

Chronicles the last 7 years of two brothers sailing around the world.  The complete opposite of the boring couple on PBS who have been doing it for decades("Distant Shores").  These guys have an on-board liquor still, and always have crazy adventures while living on the cheap in exotic places.  The last few years the video editing quality has been really excellent, and their crew is always changing, which keeps things really fresh.  

Now, my "binging" might be different than most since I have a wife and 3 kids, so I might grab an episode or two a few nights a week after the kids have gone to bed, or watch during lunch at work.  

I've recently found that Youtube has some excellent channels made by very talented folks.  Intereting, well-made, and high quality channels are available, not just funny cat videos spliced together.

The future looks good.  

The future looks good.  I think.  There was something about having to pay, so I skipped that.

EDSBS used to be my 3rd

EDSBS used to be my 3rd favorite college football site, behind MgoBlog and TTB.  I loved to read 90% of the content posted there, especially the commentariat.   Something changed within the last off-season...less fodder for folks to comment on, which is as fun as the actual articles IMO.  Spencer is still a great writer and voice for college football, but EDSBS just doesn't have the feel that it used to have, at least for me.  I sincerely hope that MgoBlog does not follow in that mold.

I guess I'll be the guy to say this and take the downvotes:

He fucking harassed the girl who accused Brendan Gibbons of rape.  If I remember correctly, he threatened her with rape, among other things.  Somebody please tell me I'm wrong here.  Seriously, fuck Taylor Lewan.  He didn't represent Michigan well.  I know, he had a cool tandem bike, and a moustache tattoo, but he was a complete asshole otherwise.  I don't think of him as fondly as some here on MgoBlog.

We beat them by 39.  Having all of their linebackers healthy wouldn't have had that much more impact on the score.  

bad officiating

let's not forget the terrible non-calls of holding against OSU that kept them in the game. Total crap officiating on the huge plays, with the exception of the long run\fumble in the 1st.

Add a little salt,

and baby, you've got a stew going!

 

/sry, I just had to.

So, according to you,  hit

So, according to you,  hit and runs and high-speed chases are the only reasons that we have registration and licensing?

I wasn't even being that serious when I made the comment, but now, I'm thinking about it more and more.  What if there's a bicyclist that keeps causing serious auto accidents on the roadway, week after week, year after year?  Nothing happens that can suspend or revoke his "riding on the road" privileges.  But if it's done in an auto, he can be ticketed to the point that his license will be revoked.

I don't have a dog in either fight - i've seen some shitty drivers and bicyclists that have no regard for others on the road.

Maybe bicyclists should

Same obligations?  Maybe bicyclists should have to pay for licensing and registration then, just like automobile drivers.
