Hate Mail and Tweets
The Detroit News is reporting that Devin Gardner and a lot of other players are getting hate mail and tweets:
This shouldn't have to be said -- folks, if you find yourself seriously tempted to send an angry message to a player, don't. It won't help them and it won't make you feel any better either. Enjoy the wins, let go of the losses.
If being a fan makes you miserable, you're allowed to just not be a fan for a while. Go ahead, leave the party. Just be discrete about it. If you can avoid making an idiot of yourself on the way out, we'll almost certainly let you back in when the team starts winning again.

This is the culture you create and you personally help to propagate with all of your ANGARY ("but seriously, just 'venting' guyyyyssss!") posts, fellow MGoBloggers.
So now you see why some people want others to just tone it down a bit?

Hate mail idiots
Have no place on MGoBlog
They can have MLive

Devin's a manly man, he doesn't deserve any hate.

i don't think you have to worry about that from the readership here. Tend to be more well-informed.
That said, that kind of ignorance is pretty disappointing.

No doubt the Wal Mart Wolverines out in full force. A Michigan grad would know better.

99% of it is garbage. Also wouldn't surprise me if the ugly tweets came from dopes posing as UM fans.
November 13th, 2013 at 4:25 PM ^
Totally disgusting, frustrations should not be taken out on these guys. It's ridiculous to think that any of that will make things better.
This makes me sad on a whole new level.

In that case, almost the entirety of people on MGoBlog for the last half of this season are not Michigan fans, but trolls, trying to make the fan base look bad.

Disgraceful behavior, people. In the words of Rich Rodriguez, "get a life". Pretty damn unbecoming to tweet this to the players who are working their tails off.

I don't really tweet but I just follow stuff and people I'm interested in -- a news aggregator I suppose. It's also interesting to see people's reactions to things.

This is what buckeye fans do! They also set cars on fire, but I wasn't able to snap a shot. Have some restraint and leave the players out of it. If you taking it personally, really???
Also, don't leave your house...EVER. I don't want to be associated with people such as yourselves.
November 13th, 2013 at 9:26 PM ^
That is all.

Anyone sending hate mail to college kids... cumong man

Many of them are state fans.

...hateful typewritten missives must Gerald Ford have gotten? His teams were terrible.

Sparty fans are participating in this. Of that, I have no doubt.

I just saw the Daily article about this, and they're posting some of the tweets, with account owners' names and avatars. I am truly embarrassed for these people, whether they're Michigan fans or not. These people are the lowest part of society - the uneducated, the moronic, the imbeciles who deserve to be cast out. I hope they all get some kind of retribution for this.

This is the Michigan difference.
November 15th, 2013 at 5:54 PM ^
the next thing you know, some supreme ass-hat
is going to blame it all the teams's problems on Devin's acceptance of the 98 jersey
and Taylor Lewan's finger stache and twosie!
