Is Beyonce an M fan?
I had no idea Beyonce was a fan of the program... and I still don't know. She's from Texas; no particular reason she would have grown up rooting for us.
Did she do that video because she actually is a fan, or because someone told her our band was doing her songs on national television so she could get some free facetime, but in a more positive way than Eminem.
Is there a backstory here, anyone know?
And here I thought Madonna was our chief cheerleader in the music industry. Hey tOSU, who you got? Didn't think so.

srsly.
September 9th, 2013 at 3:15 PM ^
This is all well and good. But do you say RBI or RBIs?
September 9th, 2013 at 3:21 PM ^
RsBI, of course.
September 9th, 2013 at 3:23 PM ^

The answer is and will always be "RBI." The people who say "RBIs" don't really know what that acronym means or are simply incapable of understanding the clear difference (one being right and the other wrong) between "RBI" and "RBIs." Mike Greenberg the moron comes to mind.
September 9th, 2013 at 7:58 PM ^
"RBI" isn't an acronym (unless you pronounce it like "ribby"). This is at least the half-dozenth time (and the second in this thread!) I've seen you being condescendingly pedantic about something that you don't understand yourself.
September 9th, 2013 at 8:04 PM ^
"RBI" isn't an acronym.
Bingo. It's an initialism.
September 9th, 2013 at 1:57 PM ^
Everytime I look on here I see your idiocy shining bright.
September 9th, 2013 at 2:29 PM ^
... he is a idiot?
September 9th, 2013 at 2:54 PM ^
but he would.
September 9th, 2013 at 3:07 PM ^
He's at least an moran.
September 9th, 2013 at 2:31 PM ^

September 9th, 2013 at 3:10 PM ^
The letter M is pronounced "Em," so it is "an," not "a." So, not only are you a douchebag as per usual, you are also wrong.
September 9th, 2013 at 3:44 PM ^
Actually YOU are wrong because no one in their right mind reads that as "em" when reading it. They read it as "Michigan," so yes, saying "an M fan" is incorrect. When you see "NC" for "national championship," I'm 100% sure you read it as "national championship," but go ahead and deny that to make me look wrong, but I know no one reads it literally as "NC" as opposed to "national championship."
September 9th, 2013 at 3:47 PM ^
^^^ Not this ^^^
September 9th, 2013 at 3:50 PM ^
Keep telling yourself that.
September 9th, 2013 at 3:51 PM ^
I read it as "em"
September 9th, 2013 at 3:57 PM ^
I'm quite sure you don't. Brian uses "M" a lot in his posts. Don't even tell me you read his sentences like this (and this is just an example of course):
"M is going to need to stop the run in this game. Whenever the M defense allows more than 150 yards rushing, they're not performing well enough."
You're telling me you read that as "em?" I seriously doubt that.

MichiganGoBlog. And neither have you.
September 9th, 2013 at 5:31 PM ^
Whatever you say, University of Michigan, 1987.
September 9th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
That is because the name of this blog is MGoBlog and not MichiganGoBlog.
How is this difficult to understand? It's not "an M," rather it is "a M."
September 9th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
Seriously, man. You are a gaping asshole. It seems that you are trying to cover some deep insecurity about your intelligence by pretending to know more than everyone else. You're not fooling anyone.
September 9th, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
*fdsn. quit picking on grammatical errors. take the message the poster is stating and do no more with it. and in that vein, you were incorrect in placing the comma after me above. you created a runon sentence when a period would have sufficed.
September 9th, 2013 at 5:26 PM ^
I think your brain reading device needs to be recalibrated.
September 9th, 2013 at 6:11 PM ^
Why, because when I see "M" on this blog, used by many people on this site, including Brian and me, I read it as "Michigan" and not just a plain M? Your comment makes no sense.
September 9th, 2013 at 8:01 PM ^
No, that's fine that you read it that way, but I don't, and apparently a bunch of other people don't either. Your insistence that your personal reading of it must be the correct way to read it makes you an asshole.

I doubt she cares about college football TBH, she was just being nice. I'm guessing that clip was filmed during the summer.
September 9th, 2013 at 1:45 PM ^
It sounded like she was reading it from a card, but she was at least very pleasent about it. So thanks!
September 9th, 2013 at 3:30 PM ^
Wasn't @ game....can someone post the vid?
September 9th, 2013 at 3:47 PM ^
You seriously can't type the word "at?"
September 9th, 2013 at 3:51 PM ^
Can we just ban this fool already?
September 9th, 2013 at 6:12 PM ^
Ban me for asking a simple and harmless question?
September 9th, 2013 at 6:27 PM ^
Ban him. You make these threads unreadable, argue points to the death that you're wrong about, and are just a dick all the way around. And that's coming from me.
September 9th, 2013 at 6:44 PM ^
Guy still thinks Seven Nation Army is a song from the 70s...
September 9th, 2013 at 4:48 PM ^
And she has also taken money from Gaddafi. Clearly a whore.
September 9th, 2013 at 10:06 PM ^
Yep. I bet Brandon paid her a lot of money. She'll perform or lend her music for the right price to anybody.
September 9th, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
I was looking around for the logistics of the deal and couldn't find anything. Doubt she is a fan.
September 9th, 2013 at 1:57 PM ^
From behind the Rivals paysite, I think it was Doug Karsch's article that mentioned that Brandon was able to use his connection to Dominos eventually leading to the Nets bball team, Jay Z, etc to get to Beyonce. NASCAR was mentioned as well somehow.
I've been around various UM circles enough (sorry can't be more specific here) to be pretty sure she was asked to come (as evidenced by her apology for not being able to make it) but it is not a pre-req for VIP celebs to be UM fans to be asked to help make appearances at some high profile events....
Don't ask me about some famous celebs who have turned us down..I'd violate some NDA :-)
September 9th, 2013 at 5:29 PM ^
She was 100% invited to come, but she has some tour starting I believe so she couldnt make it.
September 9th, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
She has a traveling picture of Bo in her dressing rooms on the road, and has "the team, the team, the team" tattooed on her lower back.
September 9th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^
That would be awesome...
September 9th, 2013 at 1:55 PM ^
September 9th, 2013 at 2:15 PM ^
September 9th, 2013 at 3:00 PM ^
September 9th, 2013 at 1:59 PM ^
I'm going to assume that our marketing people went to her, told her the band was doing a Beyonce-themed halftime deal, and she was nice enough to smile and say "Go Blue".
September 9th, 2013 at 2:05 PM ^
Would love great in maize and blue.
September 9th, 2013 at 2:08 PM ^
The Destiny's Child song "Lose My Breath" samples the MMB drumline cadence that is used to march to the stadium and onto the field. When I was in band (despite not being on drumline) we always joked that Beyonce should "give us the money!"
/eights
Apparently Beyonce and Michelle Williams heard only the drums track and loved it, and signed on to make the song.
Anyhow, this may be the connection we're looking for, or it may be coincidence.

For my money, Beyonce loves M for giving her song such a wicked drum part.
