Date Title Body
1 day 4 hours ago I mean, I don't disagree

That it's far nicer to acknowledge the compliment first.

 

What I disagree with is that this interaction (1) supports the conclusion that the guy is a dick; and (2) is worth creating a thread about that conclusion.

 

My guess is his "celebrity" (d-level though it might be) is amplifying what is really a "no big deal" interaction in your mind.  But whatever.

1 day 4 hours ago He wished you a good day...

You ignored him, and you posted a thread about him being a dick on a well-read board?

 

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE SHAKE THE OP'S HAND?

4 days 4 hours ago Another caveat

Jack Lew's autograph is, of course, fantastic, whether you get it to keep or to sell.

4 days 4 hours ago JClay drew the distinction I was getting at.

IMHO.

4 days 4 hours ago I'm glad you do.

To each their own. I said I find them lame. Hence, if my best man got me one, he probably doesn't know me super well.

Nonetheless, the greater point is illustrated by the example here; seeking autographs from amateurs so you can make a quick buck that they, themselves, can't make, is lame to me.  Again.  To. Me.

I suppose receiving them is different, in the sense that you aren't the seeker, much in the same way most meat lovers wouldn't want to butcher a cow, and since I fit that latter category, we have common ground and thus we can be friends.

 

Edit: Put a less joking way; I'm not a big autograph fan, sure, but my major beef is seeking an autograph from an amateur for the express point of selling it.  That's shitty, in my opinion.

4 days 4 hours ago I find autographs, generally, to be pretty lame

But even if I didn't; I'd find this lame as shit. Seems cheesy to get a fucking HS kid to sign something for you so you can turn a quick buck.

1 week 2 days ago Well that was certainly a proportional response.

So that's nice

1 week 6 days ago I think you read too much into language in posts

in trying to make your exaggerated points.



But yes, if you find repeated posts about MSU's fan base to be exasperating, "reevaluate" your life. If, however, a message board post merely generates feelings of "hatred," such as you felt in your original post, keep on doing your thing!

1 week 6 days ago I'm not sure I disagree much...

I've long expected Fitz to parlay his on-field success plus NU's academic standing into recruiting (like JH and now Shaw at Stanford).  One class is far from enough, but I could see NU consistenly recruiting on the top half of the league.  I hope they do.

1 week 6 days ago Seems silly

Posting to say the thread is stupid is accurate and ok; posting to say "who cares?" is contradictory and annoying?  

 

The act of replying to a post hardly evidences great feeling and emotion; takes about 2 seconds, and "who cares" conveys poster's exasperation with the subject matter of MSU always cluttering the boards, no?

1 week 6 days ago Meh

Message board posts along the line of "Player X commits to rival school, rival school complains about said commitment" is an endless carousel.  Happens on UM sites as well.  It's just not freaking newsworthy.

3 weeks 19 hours ago Agreed

That he has a great head in his shoulders. And that he loves U of M. Disagree that those attributes have much of anything to do with staying a fifth year if he's a top 10 pick.

3 weeks 2 days ago No

We should be breaking down horse recruits for UM's soccer team.



Kidding. I'm all for discussing recruiting, generally. Just hard to get worked up about "locks," "leans," predictions, and rival site nonsense.

3 weeks 2 days ago Yeah, guys

It's almost like speculating on where a HS kid will go to college - whether you are paid to speculate or not - is pointless.

3 weeks 3 days ago I hear you.

Assuming that, like me, you aren't a scout, it's easiest (and probably most fun) when our program goes after guys universally rated highly by scouting services and/or have offers from programs we consider "big time."  But it is so evident that Beilein knows what he's doing -- from Stu, to Zack, to Darius (highly rated recruit, but essentially came down to Wash St. and us), to THJ, to Trey, to GRIII before he blew up on the rating services, etc.... I mean, really, with Beilein, this is just sit back and let the man do his work, time for me.

3 weeks 3 days ago That kid is fantastic.

I have a 1.5 year old son; working on his "Go Blue."  Currently sounds like "Bo Blue," which might actually be a nod towards Bo.

4 weeks 7 hours ago I negged the OP

But I love this thread.  So there's that.

Also, in the OP's defense, his sleuthing didn't lead to the disastrous consequences of Reddit's crimefighting, so he's A-OK in my book.

4 weeks 4 days ago I had M. Krislov for a seminar in Law School

Before he moved to Oberlin.  Good guy, I liked him a lot.

5 weeks 1 day ago MSC was fantastic

It's a loss for the University, but I expect a great candidate to get the job.

5 weeks 2 days ago I don't mean to quibble

People can post what they want here.

 

But as you said -- it's all speculation.  Not sure what you mean that you hope people don't take the comment out of context -- there is no context, just speculation.  Really not a fan of threads being started speculating about transfers, but whatever.  I said my piece.

5 weeks 2 days ago You've heard

Of the possibility of Morgan transferring from who?  I mean, people talk about a lot of things, but is this just idle speculation ("Morgan might be annoyed about his limited minutes; I could see him transferring," says man at the bar during the L'ville game) or something from someone connected to Morgan?

 

If the former; I don't know, man.  I'm not a fan of threads based on "people talking" about random shit, you know?

 

Short answer: not aware of any grad transfers to UM.

5 weeks 2 days ago Repeat post. When a quality kid

 

Represents your university with class, works hard, and plays an undebatable part in elevating the program such that we all got the privilege of enjoying a run to the Final Four, there is one acceptable response to his announcement that he's leaving:

 

Good luck.

 

Any other response indicates you're an asshole.  Hard-hitting, in-you-face, years-of-experience-as-an-NBA-scout-I-Imagine, non-rainbow analysis or not.

5 weeks 2 days ago When a quality kid

Represents your university with class, works hard, and plays an undebatable part in elevating the program such that we all got the privilege of enjoying a run to the Final Four, there is one acceptable response to his announcement that he's leaving:

5 weeks 3 days ago You guys are both wrong

Northwestern IS Chicago's Big Ten School.  Or so the billboard says.  

 

Joking.  But I was planning on walking up for the game (bringing my one year old; only plan to stay a few innings).  Hope I can buy them day of (assumed I could).

5 weeks 3 days ago I was planning

On just walking up and grabbing a ticket.  Any idea what sort of crowd they expect?  Obviously not enough to fill the stadium, but not sure if they plan to restrict certain seating areas.

5 weeks 4 days ago FYI - 4 B1G commits in top 47

Two each for Michigan and Indiana.

I know MSU has few slots this year, but my 2008 mind is still blown

5 weeks 5 days ago Fair

But is it really that incredible to think OSU could go undefeated... One year from going undefeated, returning most everyone of significance and facing a weak schedule? Sure, it's not a lock. But silly to have overly strong views on either side of this.

5 weeks 6 days ago No, it's not really different

But perhaps a better example is an SEC atty going in house to work for a bank or broker dealer. Happens all the time.

5 weeks 6 days ago Oddly enough

I concur with the guy that said this video makes him want Burke to go pro.  Kid worked his effing ass off at UM.  Hope he goes top 3 overall.  Best of luck in the NBA, Trey, you'll be great.

6 weeks 21 hours ago Anyone got any more jokes about MSU?

The time to flood the board with them is now, apparently. Our superiority complexes aren't secure enough, it seems.
