I’ve never been as low as…

I’ve never been as low as leaving the shoe after the 2018.  That was an emotionally damaging experience.  

People talk about Henson…

People talk about Henson like he was a flop at Michigan.  That offense was dynamic with him under center, and had he stayed for his senior year we’d be talking about his legacy WAY differently.   

For those of us on twitter,…

For those of us on twitter, is there anything worse or more anyone than that Don Thomas guys' Cade vs JJ thing?  Cade is an absolute legend here and always will be regardless of it JJ takes over next year. I dont know why people like that have to divide the fan base (and presumably the players if they read it).  Curious if others have thoughts.  

Absolutely incredible act! …

Absolutely incredible act!  heard the same guy has donated a lot to small businesses too through the pandemic.  Seems like a great person.  

Thank you for your service,…

Thank you for your service, Brian.  You've done a great thing with this blog.

I actually 100% agree with this.  It's the best of a bunch of really shitty options.  

I'd structure it a bit differently but at this point, BIG TEN need to get creative.  Taking shitty schools that got ditched by Texas and OK is not the answer.  

What incentive - at all -…

What incentive - at all - would Bo have to covering this up or empowering this Dr?  This is a very different situation that Sandusky who was on his staff.

Obviously this is a tragedy.  Obviously the system failed.  The answer - at least to me - is not clear that we need the moral police to come in and cancel Bo. 

Has MGoBlog opted out of…

Has MGoBlog opted out of covering football?  Crazy that we need to link to other sites to learn about our football team.  

Anyone here talking about…

Anyone here talking about wanting to be an Ohio State fan in this thread is a total loser.  That is all.  
 

This fucking sucks, but Go Blue.  Stay strong.

Ready to run through a wall after this.  Well done and well written

This is all making me feel very, very small.  

Imagine what our recruiting…

Imagine what our recruiting would be like if / when we start getting to the playoffs.  The fact we can get a kid like like Daxton Hill out of the south - who's basically never seen Michigan beat an OSU team that doesn't have an interim coach - is amazing.   

I’ve been to the game in…

I’ve been to the game in Cbus about 5 times since 2003.  It’s fine!  For god sakes, wear your Michigan stuff!

 

If you park around the frats or walk through the students, it can get nasty. But nobody is going to assault you.  Again, wear your Michigan stuff.  Don’t be coward!

I’ve found that Ohio State fans have gotten way more subdued over the years.  Two decades of dominance has taken away a bit of their nastiness - how could it not?  I’ve also heard that as OSU has raised ticket prices, the true nasty Buck Nuts have been replaced by the ‘wine and cheese’ Buckeyes.  

 

 

Way less, unfortunately. …

Way less, unfortunately.  Losing the app the biggest deal for me - not being able to see the app on the home screen means out of sight out of mind.  I think the site looks fine on mobile.  Also, I can't pinpoint it but I also find the message board to be less relevent.  

The worst take

This is the worst recommendation I’ve heard for anything anywhere.

This is an awesome point.

This is an awesome point. Well done.

Agreed. Way less red, we

Agreed. Way less red, we people yelled there ass off. I also was getting tons of texts saying the crowd was crazy. Fans can't be loud when you're getting blown out

No question these are the

No question these are the best road jerseys. So clear that it's amazing the powers that be can F them up.

YES

These are without question the best road jersey's we've had.

It's amazing how complacent so many have gotten to the tweaks in uniform.  When I was like 12 I remember the outcry about putting just the 'swoosh' on the jersey.  

I pray we get away from the crap piping and out of the 'league of ordinary schools' that put the gimmicks and piping on their unfiroms.  

"Get off my lawn"

"Get off my lawn"

Totally agreed. Cannot stand

Totally agreed. Cannot stand the "template" shorts we have. Large block M on shorts. Boom, there you go, you have the best shorts in basketball.

Sports

Brian has never played a sport in his life.

Hate this.

Hate this article. Even if it's suppose to be a "just kidding" type thing at the end.

Yes

Amen- especially on the road football uniforms.  I actually write an annual letter to the athletic director (then Martin now Brandon) urging us to go back to the road uniforms being worn by A-train.  No piping, block M on shoulders. 

Brian on Brandon

Brian is RIGHT on when it comes to his prognosis of Dave Brandon,....just as he was right on when it came to the hiring of Brady Hoke.  

Brandon knows the color has change and plans to address

I went to lunch with Brandon this summer as part of a prize that my friends and I won with the business school.  

He said that he knew that the 'maize' had changed and that they were working with Adidas to get it right.  I'm fairly certain this was genuine as he is the one that brought up the subject of the color in response to our question about the impact of the Adidas deal.  

Brandon just gets it, in general.  

I remember when black uniforms became sweet...

back in 1995.  This looks like something out of the movie Any Given Sunday.  I hate when team's get away from their traditional unis

Road Unis

Would love to see us go back to the 2004 road unis.   Which reminds me-- it's time for my annual hand written letter urging us to go back to a more traditional road uniform.   I can't stand the road uniforms now.  We look like Toledo or West Virgina.  

Out of the top 10 winningest programs, we're the only one that has "piping" and other gimmicky features to our road unis.  Why would we not want to identify wtih the blue bloods of college football?

Gmat

It all depends....

Average MACC is roughly 50 Points lower then MBA. For MBA, are you Female or minority? Then the GMAT minimum is different.That's not to be insensitive-- just a reality.

For full time MBA white males, the lowest ive heard is 650. That person is a bit older and has a ton of experience.

In terms of the amount of partying done, its true. It's unreal how much fun everyone is in the program. Plus, there are no grades--the connections you make are more important than any hour in the library. Its a ton of work, but ive loved every second of it. I won't apologize for partying.

My interview

Was a disaster, and I got in. One semester left. Best two years of my life. I'm really going to miss dating undergrads

Big Ten disparity argument

A lot of folks on this blog make the argument that Michigan fans need to be more realistic-- that this is no longer the "big 2 plus 8" days of BO. This argument implicitly states that we should not expect such similar success.
<br>
<br>Ohio State has won 6 straight B10 titles, matching Woody's longest streak from the 70s. Bo won 6/7 from 71 to 78.
<br>
<br>I reject that this apologetic argument. I refuse to live in a world where Michigan should not expect to have the same sort of success as tOSU.
<br>
<br>I've wanted to post this as a thread, but haven't had enough points. I simply cannot stand fans that are apologetic for mediocrity.
<br>
<br>Go blue.

its ok, this is michigan....

if someone doesn't want to come here, I wish them the best of luck.  There's not a better place in the world.  

Ps I just got done grinding my ass off at ricks.  

As Vince Lombardi said....

"show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser". 

While I'm not blaming any individual, i can't believe how apologetic michigan fans have become. sad.  

What kind of CEO are you talking about?

How much would it cost to pay everyone off and start over? 

-A CEO would look at future cash flows and determine if the investment (paying off a coach and hiring a new one) would increase future revenue via more winning.  

Football would lose a year recruiting on top of what was lost the last time. 

-RichRod had a top 10 recruiting class the year he came in.  So did Brian Kelly this year.  

The university would look indecisive (Notre Dame?) 

-New CEO's replace managers with their people all the time.  How is that indecisive?  I think it's much easier to make the argument that floundering over the decision is indecisive.  

And the next guy:  What baggage will he bring with him (a cheerleader in his closet)?  And will he win?

-No CEO makes a decision on unwarranted speculation or conjecture.  We've sure got a lot of baggage right now, though.   

 

Brandon has other resources to bring to bear on the defensive problem, as long as his Department Head is willing to work with him and them.  

-So essentially, the CEO needs to micro manage his department head, who has mismanaged 1/2 of his operation to the point of national embarassment.
