OT: RCMB does something cool
I know a lot of us laugh at the RCMB most of the time, but I thought this was pretty cool of them to do. A lot of the posters ordered pizzas and the like for the izzone while they wait outside for the game tonight. It would be a good idea for Michigan fans to do the same for the msu game when it comes up.

For the MSU game, students have assigned seats, so nobody will be waiting.
I'll be in line at like 8 am for the Indiana game (I think) though if anyone wants to bring me food
February 19th, 2013 at 10:44 PM ^
as long as you find me a ticket which I will pay for.
February 19th, 2013 at 3:54 PM ^
this thread will not actually end well
February 19th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
I think it'll be okay.
February 19th, 2013 at 5:09 PM ^
Oh yeah? You think it will?
I'm going to buy a gun today before Obama bans their sale. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for something that isn't good for hunting, sport shooting, or home defense.... I want something more offensive and possibly convertable to fully-automatic. Although I want to say I do enjoy hunting, going to mass daily, and voting against all "progressive" ideas.
And marijuana is not medicine.
Checkmate.

Checkmate to your checkmate! Your points will return next month.

that was funny. Don't be a humorless prick.

I've sentenced kids younger than him to the gas chamber. Didn't want to. Felt I owed it to them.
(THAT is funny)
February 19th, 2013 at 10:13 PM ^
judge smale. great line among a boatload for that movie, including 'judge, don't sell yourself short. you are a tremendous slouch' followed by, 'my dad never liked you'.
February 19th, 2013 at 5:15 PM ^
Herm, you crazy old rascal!

That rant sounds nothing like an old, cranky man would issue. If you're going to play the part, play it right.
February 19th, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
Herm for Heisman.

Get a ps3 and stay away from guns. You might be to grumpy for firearms.. And Marijuana is great medicine..
Checkmate my ass, cheating bastard
February 19th, 2013 at 3:56 PM ^
I sent 2 small Domino's Pizzas and a can of Blue Diamond Almonds.

While there are definitely some eye-rolling elements to the culture on that board, people are always going to have tons of ammo to mock any large message board of a community they do not like. As with any mass audience, there will be plenty of idiotic comments to cherry-pick.
They aren't all bad. Usually the worst threads on RCMB will feature a lot of State fans saying "Wow, this is embarrassing to read." Not dissimilar to here.
February 19th, 2013 at 4:07 PM ^
Good afternoon, Sparty.
February 19th, 2013 at 4:41 PM ^
I would really hope you are not being serious.
February 19th, 2013 at 5:18 PM ^
I would really hope you do not actually hold a positive opinion of RCMB after spending more than five minutes on that board.
February 19th, 2013 at 8:34 PM ^
That you and others think I hold a high opinion is interesting if you re-read my point. RCMB suffers from the rule of the LCD, as does this board and every other large board. On all these, there are intelligent people as well as crazy homers and neanderthals. For any big board to get uppity about another big board is hypocritical. There is a ton of crap on all of them.
February 19th, 2013 at 9:00 PM ^
You either haven't spent much time at both boards or you aren't being honest with yourself. The ratio of intelligent posters to neanderthals here is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RCMB and I challenge any objective observer to prove otherwise.
February 20th, 2013 at 11:51 AM ^
I don't go to the RCMB very often but I can't imagine there is many more morons over there. If you've been a member of this board for a long time you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
February 19th, 2013 at 9:20 PM ^
February 19th, 2013 at 9:54 PM ^
I agree that this site is better. But there is a ton of stupid stuff said that I doubt the mods would touch. You just can't stop that from happening unless your community is a small clique. The mainstream belief in college sports is that any popular site where rivals convene is a cesspool. Our minds tend to spot things that confirm what makes us comfortable and gloss over what doesn't jibe with preconceived notions.
Again, MGo has less issues than RCMB. But if an OSU or MSU fan wanted to lurk here and laugh at delusional comments, there would be enough fodder to justify the trip in spite of all the other well-rationed points one can find.
February 19th, 2013 at 11:51 PM ^
I'd put the truly offensive stuff around here at about .25% of comments, or 1/400. The borderline offensive stuff is probably another .75%ish, trending higher or lower depending on the day, then the crazy homerific stuff is obviously a bigger number, and I can't put an accurate estimate on it because it's not something I read for. I'd still say that the homerific posts get pretty well ripped on a lot of the time here, though, especially the dumb kind that opposing fans might make fun of.
February 20th, 2013 at 11:53 AM ^
Stoopid comments.
February 19th, 2013 at 4:32 PM ^
Wrong.

You stay classy, San Diego.

He is even well-known on mgoblog for his imfamous trolling. Who is the more imfamous troll, nucky or azfootballfan/msuonaroute from mlive?
February 19th, 2013 at 7:46 PM ^
The 90% of the posts there that contain the word [insert deragatory use of "UM"] qualify as "idiotic comments to cherry-pick," but it can't really be considered "cherry-picking" when it constitutes 90% of their board.
February 19th, 2013 at 3:57 PM ^
No they don't. Ever.
February 19th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
February 19th, 2013 at 3:59 PM ^
Don't forget the middleman. They delivered the pizzas, too.
February 19th, 2013 at 4:25 PM ^

February 19th, 2013 at 6:42 PM ^
I'm humbled by your greatness.
February 20th, 2013 at 7:15 AM ^
I heard there WERE no pizzas delivered, because all the delivery personnel were standing in the aforementioned line.
February 19th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
I have no interest in following a trend started by anyone affiliated with Michigan State.
February 19th, 2013 at 5:00 PM ^
February 19th, 2013 at 3:58 PM ^
I remember when Athletics felt compelled to bribe the Maize Rage with pizzas to get all like 150 of us to show up to watch some godawful basketball on a snowy evening.
Kids today are getting soft.

Izzone has it easy too, their bleachers are so much bigger, they probably don't even need to wait that long, don't they have class anyway????? I know people who waited 4 hours outside for the OSU game here and sat 20 rows up in the upper level because our bleachers are so small.
