MGOBLOG Banner
I am hereby recommending a change in the MGoBanner at the top of this page to reflect the success of the Men's Basketball Program and I present this proposal based on the following...
1) Hoke Springs Eternal was perfect for last year, as he was hired in January and the Spring marked the period that he galvanized the fan base as well as started building his program. As long as we all agree that Hoke (or hope) springs eternal, there is no need for it to spring further since eternity is forever.
2) The football program went through a 4 year period of turbulence (starting with "The Horror" and ending with Josh Groban), followed by a return to glory in 2011. We are simply past the whole "New Hope" thing.
3) John Beilein has just done 3 amazing things tonight... A) Kept UM in contention for a B16 title. B) Snapped a 13 game, 17 year losing streak at Illinois. C) Ended Bruce Webber's career.
4) Football season is many months away, let's celebrate some Hoops and pay tribute with a new banner. The resurrection of this program under Beilein deserves a banner... at least... if not a medal.
Please support this petition and call upon fellow MGoArtists to come up with the next graphic to celebrate Michigan Athletics.
HAIL!
object, not that my vote would count anyway.
... but, at the most I would suggest shared space between the three sports (Football, Hockey, Basketball).
Football should always be in a banner about Michigan athletics.
Why would football always have to be in the banner?
It could just be a banner that goes up through the tournament, then we have a banner competition again for the next season.
I definitely like the idea of a tournament banner. But if we're looking for another banner that's going to last us a full year, I think it has to include football somewhat.
Unless we win the NCAA tournament, in which case I say we flaunt it for the year.
the picture of blood gushing from Zach Novak's head.
Or can't we do that without compromising his eligibility?
Quemar los barcos!!!
of Denard and 'Tree doing the jiggy on the basketball court as our banner.
Nothing summarizes this board better.
I doesn't matter what mood I'm in or what kind of day I've had. When I see that gif I'm instantly happy.
Now catch the damn ball, TREE!!!
I too throw my utterly meaningless support behind this movement.
I'm saving the immense pull I have around the site for the "should we bring back the old pos/neg votes"....vote.
I wonder if Brian just laid out how much it would cost to get that done via donation if it could be worked out?
I would throw down I promise you that. This moderation system sucks.
Remember his meta post a few weeks ago where he asked for ideas on how to raise money to relaunch the magazine? I said put a dollar value you want to raise and if we do it, then you have to give us back the old point system.
I Bkfinest it that if he did that he would blow the doors off his fundraising.
Bringing back late night pos bang threads are priceless to me.
I swear, the day it goes back to the olden days I'm going to rip a bunch of people a new asshole. I've been keeping a list of everybody who's wronged me since this new system came around and I'll negbang them until they beg for mercy, and then I'll keep banging them.
on keeping us in contention for the conference titile in a conference that doesn't exist!
but it's my goal on my next standardized test. screw this 99th percentile shit.
Did you call me an asshole in Spanish to trick me or to trick the mods? Just curious.
yes he did.
i know that. i was asking why he did it.
Football season is 12 months a year in these parts.
Also, celebration starts Monday after the B1G championship.
However, to ignore the accomplishment of BB during a tournament run to honor football during a time when no games are being played is sort of SECish!
Spring practice starts in less than two weeks. Take your peach baskets back to Indiana.
/MICHIGAN FERGODSAKES.
Although football will always be Top Dog here at MGoBlog, basketball and hockey get enough coverage to warrant some banner real estate.
B16?????
I think you meant B1G
That's why I typed B16. The official logo is a six, not a G. This is because the conference will have 16 teams in it very shortly, and I'm way ahead of the curve.
Unless you are illiterate, this is a G, not a 6. Please learn the difference.
I'd call you a fucking asshole and then threaten you behind the security of my laptop... but I don't care what you think.
"Trolling" just doesn't capture it.
Yea, what word really works though? Can’t be too profane, yet you’d wish it could,.
One my grandma used on occasion might do the trick, … how about asinine as a mod option?
Glad you took the time to respond when you don't care. It really makes it obvious.
maybe drink less next time?
Or just grow up a little?
Back off. Last warning.
What are you going to do BISB? You think that you have the power to just redact someone's points and kick them off for a while?
What's that? You do, in fact, have such a power? Well, have a good day then, sir. Comendable post.
It's a 0...unless you're literate.
I don't know what you're seeing that everyone isn't, but according to the league itself, the third letter/number is supposed to be both a "G" and a zero.
And the basketball program was down for a lot longer than the football program. Would love to see them get some banner love.
though we could keep the subheading with a slight modification, "supporting the Clint Eastwood State Fightin' John Waynes on one Sunday in March for two hours"
I think adding two phenomenal actors into the title gives them too much credit. Perhaps something more along the lines of the Steve Buscemi Community College Fightin' Buseys.
I guess Ive always considered mgoblog a football-first blog... but that said I think your idea has a lot of merit. Great idea, sir.
