Cue the New Shirt Design in the MGoStore
Hey, it's been a good couple of months here at MGoBlog. First we hire this guy Hoke, then he hires this guy Mattison, then they reel in a pretty sweet class. Next thing we know, Belein gets the team into the Tournament. Red gets his boys one period away from a national title. And then the spring game is, well, the spring game. The Girls Softball Team destroys all competition on its way to the conference title. Brandon recently announces that Lacrosse is going D-1 Team Sport. Top that off with a ridonkulous string of success in the recruiting department, not to mention the delicious schadenfreude of the media bombing of Columbus and life is just plain old good here at MGoBlog.
And so, we must celebrate. With a shirt.*
Now available in all sizes here. Get yours now because we're sure to see puppet goodness this fall.
*(Note: Shirt does NOT actually play the Hawaiian War Chant.)
Six Zero, all you do is win.
...Six Zero. I expect this one will do quite well.
Not only will MGoNation love it but my son's preschool friends will think I'm cool too.
I wish I knew how to quit you
....due to copyright infringement of using a muppet with out the expressed approval of the Henson Company?
All the more reason to buy one ASAP.
have -85000 points?
It's a 10 / 10. Only a Block M in Muppets could make it an 11.
I love the new CW shirt of the pick - pretty much the best shirt ever
on the Muppets?
Hands down I love this.
Possible trademark violation re the use of "Muppets"
Buy them now before they get pulled!
What?!?!?!?!
The Henson family would never, ever, sue over such a thing. I mean different family members have been suing each other over the rights to the muppets franchise and there has been an injunction against airing / selling / distributing all things muppets (and why it's not on tv for the last 10 years) until it is resolved, but besides that, I'm sure they would have zero problem with this.......
Six Zero problem with this?
What are you talking about? Disney bought The Muppets from The Jim Henson Co. at least ten years ago. The reason they haven't been very visible is that they really don't seem to know what to do with them. I'm really hoping the new Jason Segel directed Muppet move does really realy well.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe public figures have no recourse to trademarks that are based on their public lives.
They also have rights to their public image / likeness
There's actually two Obama gas stations. Supposedly on a campaign swing Obama's motorcade drove by one of them and it's said he got a kick out of it.
prices on the sign.
They've managed to not notice that my copy of "Muppet Hawaiian War Chant" reached 'viral' status well over a year ago, so I think we'll be okay.
Re: Henson
I was thinking more along the lines of don't let Lars Ulrich see this! Nice work on the shirt.

Does anybody know what ever became of the L-I-A-R shirt with the I-dotting design? I remember it coming out and I thought it was going to be an actual shirt, but I can't find it in the store.
I'm in need of a few new shirts and there are plenty of other good choices, but that one in paticular I was looking forward to.
make this in kids sizes. 24 mo - 2T preferably, but this is finally a MGoShirt that is HIGHLY MGoOffspring appropriate (not that I didn't make my own 12 mo old a "Space bitches space" onsie, but some people have a problem with that)
I heard space bitches was all the rage on the playground this year. Too bad we never ran with that Brutus Pedophile design-- I'm sure PTO's everywhere would've loved it.
"This is my Little Brother" with a photo of Sparty getting crotch slammed against the goal post
"ABC's of Yost" with "S is for Sieve", "B is for Black Hole", "R is for Red" etc etc

"My Bottle" with the M as a Block M and a photo of the Little Brom Jug underneath
Big hits at alumni picnics...
Don't forget our Big Ten Championship Softball team.
The shirt, by the way, is tremendous. We also need a shirt that says "Tremendous".
Sorry, softball team and fans! No excuse for the slip and I WILL correct it. GO BLUE!
not a national title like the post currently says.
Sorry for being hasty with the first fix
Hey I'm kind of new to mgoblog, just started reading last year... I have obviously noticed the Muppets posts when something good happens, funny stuff, but can someone explain where it began or how it started?
Temptation and Hawaiin War chant are long time Michigan Band and fans favorite..The Band has performed those songs at the Rose Bowl, Tailgates, pregame, gametime throughout the years...really cool percussion routine..
The muppets have sung both as youve seen...A big Michigan Victory warrants playing the muppets...reserved for BIG wins..
think I have that right..anyone?
Agree with Turd_Ferguson, would like to know the origin of the Muppets post. Though it's funny that I can throw up Muppets on FB and instantly 40 of my friends know somewhere, a Michigan team is celebrating a victory. Not bad that mgoblog has that type of visibility.
This is an awesome shirt, and comes with instant street cred as an mgoblog insider. Regarding the meaning of the muppets, it's my understanding simply that because the Muppet Show did BOTH the Hawaiian War Chant and Temptation, the songs the band plays at every game for the drumline's cadence and after a big play (you might recognize the latter as the song the student chant sings "You suck..." to after a third-down stop). Muppet-sang + our pep songs = how could you not use them?
AND YES--buy them before they get pulled! I have my "Strike a Pose" Desmond t-shirt from before the NCAA folks caught wind of our little Mgoblog store, and I only wish I had gotten some of the others while I could have.
Please tell me there is a "no Shhhhh-zone" shirt coming this year before the ND game
This shirt is beyond swag. i must get one right meeowww
At your first at bat of the season.
