Harbaugh Demon Donuts
Video included, where Harbaugh goes on a tour of campus in an 840HP Dodge Demon, finishing the tour at the Big House with some donuts.
Overlooked and unmentioned, of course, is the fact that many of these issues are identified as issues and will be (someday, eventually) worked. Now, it's perfectly legit to wonder how long that will take, as we have experience with site upgrades being *cough* behind schedule.
I'm going to hold off on judgment until football season. Yeah, people aren't commenting as much. Some of it is just transition cost; it's not as familiar. I've been a ghost for two weeks due to other reasons, and don't always comment as much on the minor stuff. But I'm pretty sure I'll be drawn back in during football season.
That's when we'll see how the front page works when we've got 18 million articles posted per day. And we'll see how comfortable we are with the message board (and whether some key features are in place) when we're trying to analyze QB play and celebrating (or, more noticeably, mourning) after a big game.
Really Stephen-many are being worked on"?
Go to the Sticky thread and show me which ones I mentioned in my Howard Beal-ish rant are prioritized for a fix. Cause I see exactly one-editing-as being identified for repair-someday. It's not high on the list and to my aging eyes nothing else i mentioned is seen as a problem needing to be fixed.
Look at the comments around my post and the voting. Maybe the vast majority of visitors here think this new site is wonderful but the people like you and me who used to post regularly hate it. And we're way beyond "it's just now you're going to LOVE it" phase. Way past.
Its ass.
In addition to liking the new layout, I am very appreciative the board is no longer the same old cronies rehashing the same old arguments with the same old gifs in every thread.
Sometimes companies have to clean up and clear out to move forward.
Beveled Guilt and ad revenue is what ultimately impacts Brian the most, not comments on the board. I wonder how those metrics are doing?
The Kickstarter was up and working though almost as soon as this new thing launched.
Funny how that works
Okay? You do realize that Brian is not developing the site, right? Maybe you missed the million mentions of HUEL. Mgo has been working on HTTV while the devs have been working on the site. Are they supposed to just not launch it? It was already later than usual.
It was out right in time--working or not--for the HTTV "fundraiser".
They could launch HTTV on MySpace and it would get funded. The site is completely unrelated.
This is the perfect time to optimize the site: before football season when there is no content, plenty of time and light traffic
"THE VALLEY IS NORMAL."
-said every middle manager ever
Yeah, it's ?% awful
Couldn't agree more.
It blows. There is a huge problem when the site's functionality is more frustrating than actually sitting at my desk and doing my job. How have they not stopped writing and focused everything on just fixing this flaming piece of trash? How do you not take functioning over flashy every single time? Make MGoBlog Fun Again!
every word you said. every one.
came here for a NAILED IT portrait of harbaugh on a donut.
So.. does anyone know if they filmed this before or after the soccer game?
"How many times a day do you say Go Blue?"
*smiles* "How many times a day does Huey Lewis say The Power of Love?"
ABSOLUTE GOLD!!!!
And Harbaugh was right Paul is the best (ETM...usher, Stadium tour host, Sec 101 at Crisler, #3rd baseline at baseball, golf cart driver at soccer, I think he's in the tower at football). Go Blue!
Jim Harbaugh in a Dodge Challenger. My dad is going to lose his shit when I show him this.
Pretty cool-
That was awesome are! they replacing the turf?
New Coke was a publicity stunt to draw even more people to the Coke brand.
The Victors and double bass, two of my favorite things.
Jim Harbaugh is a national treasure
nice offseason fluff. My biggest takeaway is when he talks about NFL vs college you can tell he absolutely loves being here, becoming the players favorite coach and recognizes he doesn’t have that opportunity at the next level. Here’s to Jimmy staying for many years to come! Go Blue!!!
AA looked real clean.
Nice.
Harbaugh wanting to do carpool karaoke to the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is perfect.
I love how Harbaugh acts like he isn't sure if he can drive on the field or do donuts.
He's Jim Harbaugh.
He can do whatever he wants.
Right? Like he really had to ask an usher if he could go on his field. The only thing he needed to do to get the gate opened is wake up Paul from his nap!
Coach seems so much more relaxed and dare I say relatable? Great interview.
Now someone get coach his convertible.
I don’t know guys, we probably shouldn’t be doing Harbaugh-in-a-Dodge Demon-donuts on the field until we start beating our rivals again.
Also, I agree with everyone else who thinks the new site sucks. In addition to the awful layout and non-user friendly format, the banner looks like a mediocre high schooler photoshop attempt.
