Re: Nix comments on Indiana: "A side effect from weed is short-term memory loss" - Adam Schenkel

So @DerrickNix25 thinks C Zeller/V Oladipo are overrated? Maybe he was confused? A side effect from weed is short-term memory loss! #IUbb

LOLZ Nix is an idiot...

What does Derrick Nix think of Derrick Nix?
February 19th, 2013 at 11:45 AM ^
He can't remember.

This post is stupid on so many levels. I don't give a shit what some scrub Fort Wayne sports talk radio host says about Derrick Nix. Even on top of that, it's a stupid comment that he made.
February 19th, 2013 at 11:50 AM ^
to comment on somebody else making comments about it. I see?
February 19th, 2013 at 11:56 AM ^
I just don't think it's worth making a post about. Should I make a new board topic every time some random person on twitter makes a weed joke about one of our rivals? Or maybe every time someone makes a fat joke about Hoke? Of course not. I just don't see the point.
February 19th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
Wouldn't it make more sense to not comment on a thread you believe isn't thread-worthy? When you comment, you just bump it up to the top of the page.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:01 PM ^
Only if you're using the recent tab, which most people don't. And people complain about threads all the time, I don't care about what this guy on twitter said but I do care about the quality of posts on the board so I voiced my opinion.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:05 PM ^
We got it. Use the moderating option to downvote the thread and move on. This thread is on-topic (especially during the football off-season) and will stand. Comments about threads being stupid when everyone else seems to be interested are a waste of space. If you don't like it, just move on.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:41 PM ^
Only if you're using the recent tab, which most people don't.
No - if you use the board itself, newly-commented threads also get bumped up, so all your rants are keeping this one at the top.
I don't understand the obsession with this kind of thing. Is the board supposed to be a pristine wilderness, never to be trod upon by mankind?
February 19th, 2013 at 12:44 PM ^
I made one comment, it only turned into what you see now because people responded to it. And I'm 99% that's not true... can someone else confirm/deny? I use the new tab and figured most people did, and I'm almost certain that comments have nothing to do with the order of posts.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:52 PM ^
I use the "new" tab and threads never get bumped by comments.
February 19th, 2013 at 2:26 PM ^
No, no, no, dig up stupid.
February 19th, 2013 at 1:28 PM ^
I'm commenting so this thread stays up near the top of posts.
February 19th, 2013 at 3:35 PM ^
I use the "new" tab exclusively and share your thoughts that most everyone does the same. Doesn't seem like a reach to me.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:02 PM ^
I agree with you. My actual little brother smokes a ton of weed. I don't make fun of him for being dumb and a loser. I just watch and let him screw up on his own. Makes me look like less of an ass while he still looks dumb as hell.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:05 PM ^
You also don't make a post on mgoblog about it. That's all I'm saying here.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
you had a snow day today, right?
February 19th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
So what the hell is your point with all this rambling...Another side effect of weed is being cranky.. Herm wannabe
February 19th, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
Although he's got a point. This is the equivalent of childhood name-calling e.g. "Nix is a poopy head". So basically what's being reported is that Nix is full of himself and doesn't give others credit. The problem I have is he's making comments about other B1G schools' players and not directly at Michigan players. So why do we care? When he starts commenting on Michigan players (like the "God" reference), then I care. It just seems very RCMB.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:11 PM ^
...allowed to make threads about whatever topic they choose since the internet is supposed to be wide-open and all.
Having said that, posts about tweets are pretty lame. Anybody that really cares about what someone tweets would already be following that twitter account.
February 19th, 2013 at 11:54 AM ^
of weed is the munchies, right Derrick?
February 19th, 2013 at 11:56 AM ^

you put "ESPN" and "professional" in the same sentence. Unless "troll" is also included, I am sorry, but you cannot use professional to describe anything about ESPN.
...and now back to our program "turning a blind eye to the duplicity of the NCAA so long as it fills our coffers"
February 19th, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
I find ESPN Radio to be much better and enjoyable than any talking heads on ESPN TV. I do, however, think ESPN covers baseball quite well with Buster Onley, Kruk, Tim Kurkjian
February 19th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
Who is Adam Shenkel? Should I care what he has to say?
And I've been telling you the marijuana is dangerous, made the Cold War last 10 years longer. Why do you think the 1970s were such a bad decade? 1960s --> marijuana -->hippies --> 1970s & Jimmy Carter.
Conversely, 1980s --> cocaine --> productivity --> good economy --> Ronald Reagan.

Is perhaps one of the funniest things ever recorded. I listened to it so much when I was a kid, I have it memorized
February 19th, 2013 at 12:12 PM ^
You're joking right?
February 19th, 2013 at 4:18 PM ^
you don't need drugs anymore once you've had kids. You're awake, you're paranoid, you smell bad...its the same thing!
February 19th, 2013 at 1:12 PM ^
I think Herm just touted the benefits of a cocaine-based society. Never saw that comin'!
February 20th, 2013 at 7:11 AM ^
Herm must have only been awake for Reefer Madness. He must have slept through Cocaine Fiends. Either that or he was hepped up on goofballs.

Derrick Nix thinks Derrick Nix should be the overall #1 pick in the NBA draft. Derrick Nix also thinks Derrick Nix can beat U. Bolt in the 100m and would have beat Bobby Fischer at chess 10 out of 10 times. Derrick Nix thinks he isn't fat...Derrick Nix thinks Derrick Nix is "big-boned."
These are the true thoughts that go through the mind of Derrick Nix.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:06 PM ^
You had me at big boned. Ha!
February 19th, 2013 at 2:31 PM ^
and would have beat Bobby Fischer at chess 10 out of 10 times.Oh man, and now that Bobby Fischer is dead, we'll never know. Damnit!!!!!

Insanely unprofessional for ESPN employees to be poking fun at college athletes...without athletes many of their shitty employees would be out a job. This clown and Dan Dakich (who attacked former UM Bball player Anthony Wright) need to be put in check
February 19th, 2013 at 12:20 PM ^
If Nix didn't whine, I would actually like him, he has developed a nice post game this year.
February 19th, 2013 at 12:25 PM ^
February 19th, 2013 at 12:42 PM ^
Nix is just a college kid talking smack. The other was a semi-journalist pulling up a kids past to throw it in his face. Even though its provided us some humourous material to poke fun at Sparty and Nix, its still a shitty thing to do imo.
