What are the chances current players/coaches have accounts here?
The Shea interview this morning was crazy as already discussed, from the standpoint that MKing used the exact same phrase “r.e.l.a.x” in his last post (Arb Lover linked the thread, I don’t know how, sorry) as Shea did in the interview this morning. It’s almost too coincidental, no? Arb Lover and others brought up good points in that thread, but I wanted to take it a step further. Even if MK was a current player, we’d prolly never know. What are the chances other players or coaches have accounts here? I say 75% chance at least one player or coach has an account and is one of us.

OP/post combo... Too much.
September 12th, 2018 at 4:02 PM ^
What do you mean?
September 12th, 2018 at 4:27 PM ^
For those that don't know, MichiganFan1984 is Mineral King, and also a few other accounts.
September 12th, 2018 at 5:01 PM ^
And he regularly argues with himself, as sky panther, about not being one another.
Wouldn't surprise me if the dude was posting from the local asylum.
September 12th, 2018 at 5:24 PM ^
I am not sure if it would hysterical if MK was actually Shea and he was trolling the board or frightening that our QB is spending so much time here.
September 12th, 2018 at 7:00 PM ^
How the fuck are you and your 12 personas not banned
September 12th, 2018 at 4:16 PM ^
I'm pretty sure Gary Moeller used to but sadly he got fired.
I wonder if more coaches and players would post on the board if Moeller hadn't been fired?

September 12th, 2018 at 4:02 PM ^
100% there are players and coaches who spend time on mgoblog, but the chances any of them post more than once a month is probably near 0%.
September 12th, 2018 at 4:53 PM ^
The staff has an account, so did AK, Dudek, and Doughtery. I can promise that. Also, Mineral didn't break any info about DM, umbig scolded me for breaking that news before they wanted it out almost a month ago. cheers
September 12th, 2018 at 4:55 PM ^
What news?
September 12th, 2018 at 5:54 PM ^
So UMbig filters/spins how and what the program decides to leak? That's kind of interesting.
September 12th, 2018 at 5:58 PM ^
That dude is a fraud.
September 12th, 2018 at 6:46 PM ^
Ooops, you forgot to post that under your SkyPanther handle.
September 12th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
You are a fraud.
September 12th, 2018 at 7:36 PM ^
I think it's pretty obvious. I believe he's even said as much. Not saying that's a bad thing, either. Just that it's clearly going on.
I also think it's obvious that Sam Webb and others only say what the program wants them to say. Which only makes sense; why bite the hand that feeds you insider information?
September 12th, 2018 at 4:03 PM ^
There's only one option here: accuse people wildly!
I saw Goody Proctor with the Devil!
September 12th, 2018 at 7:17 PM ^
Nice Salem reference.
September 12th, 2018 at 11:58 PM ^
This is one of the most erudite and funniest comments I've ever seen posted here (as befits a blog frequented by UM alums).
September 13th, 2018 at 7:34 AM ^
Michigan Fans: our definition of erudite starts with references right out of 10th-grade literature class.
September 13th, 2018 at 1:28 PM ^
Nice snark. I assume you're erudite enough to know that he's quoting a Michigan alum?
September 14th, 2018 at 2:11 PM ^
Our definition of erudite includes quoting Michigan Daily journalist, Hopwood Award winner, '38 Michigan grad, Pulitzer Prize winner, Kennedy Center Honors winner -- Arthur Miller.
As one does ... at Michigan.
September 14th, 2018 at 3:58 PM ^
Don't forget "noted banger of Marilyn Monroe"
September 12th, 2018 at 4:04 PM ^
Boooooo
September 12th, 2018 at 4:05 PM ^
Media matters (because humans run on perception and emotion, not "facts).
There's zero chance UM reps don't at the very least scan these boards, and zero chance some players/families don't view these either (and UM's PR teams certainly request/suggest/ maybe even make them sign something saying they won't).
September 12th, 2018 at 4:12 PM ^
Hi Reps!!
September 12th, 2018 at 4:06 PM ^
Well, I'm still here
September 12th, 2018 at 8:01 PM ^
Linda!
I have been visiting whatever form this blog has been since 2007. How have I never seen you before today??? I just read your whole posting history. I wish you would post more. Fun fact about me: I married the first woman I ever met from Grand Blanc.
September 12th, 2018 at 8:13 PM ^
Also for the record, I suspect Linda from Grand Blanc is THE KNOWLEDGE. But that would not bother me one bit. Unlike these other multiple account posters who I really wish would go away.
September 12th, 2018 at 9:42 PM ^
I graduated from Grand Blanc High School. Class of '99! Go Bobcats!
September 12th, 2018 at 4:06 PM ^
Several current players have accounts here and a lot of former players do. Most are lurkers. Only a couple of older former players regularly post on the board. JDue51 is probably the most active. The current players regularly post MGoPhotos of themselves on their Instagram accounts.
September 12th, 2018 at 4:09 PM ^
Honest question: I don't need to know WHO but how can you tell? Do they let you guys know? Or they just signing up with their UM email and you can tell by the uniqname?
A part of me thinks that the knowledge that players do see what people say about them will mean posters are less shitty about them as a person. The rest of me is not that naive.
September 12th, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
Vincent Smith has posted on here plenty about his gardens and #Eating. Brandon Hawthorne posted at some point on one of his threads I believe. That's the last I remember.
Edit: Martavious Odom's also posted on Vincent's thread at some point.
September 12th, 2018 at 10:26 PM ^
It's probably only me who sees it because I watch the logins and new signups to make sure we're not getting attacked by spambots again. If they don't want to be known I have no reason to go further into their privacy.
September 13th, 2018 at 9:42 AM ^
Nope that's cool, all I really wanted to know. Thanks, Seth!
September 12th, 2018 at 4:09 PM ^
Cool to know. Thanks.
September 12th, 2018 at 4:22 PM ^
Then you probably know if MK is Shea or just some teenager pretending to be.
September 12th, 2018 at 4:27 PM ^
To my knowledge MK has never claimed to be Shea. Other people just said that because he kept guaranteeing that Shea would be eligible.
September 12th, 2018 at 4:45 PM ^
I'm assuming that MK is actually Shea and that's the reason he hasn't been banned.
September 12th, 2018 at 4:36 PM ^
Vincent Smith has at times been a very active MGoPoster (MGoUsername is Mr Smith, I believe) . Haven't seen him lately though.

September 12th, 2018 at 6:05 PM ^
See. This.
As fans we need to remember that our number one job is to support the team and players at all times, and to support the coach until such time as they need to go. It's precisely because players and recruits do read here and sometimes take it to heart (remember they are 17-21 for the most part, more impressionable than you or I), that we are only shooting ourselves in the feet if we hammer off on a player for alleged poor performance.
September 12th, 2018 at 8:02 PM ^
I don’t have a job
September 12th, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
I should add we get as many and more family members of players. The players tell each other not to care what people on the internet think. But imagine if there was a website devoted to nitpicking your son's biggest endeavor. I'd be on that like flies on shit.
This metaphor is doing work.
September 12th, 2018 at 4:06 PM ^
Well we all know that at least some of the coaches/people connected with the program READ the blog...
September 12th, 2018 at 4:26 PM ^
ah 2.0, the good old days
September 12th, 2018 at 5:38 PM ^
I never thought I would pine for the days of Drupal.
September 12th, 2018 at 4:07 PM ^
If there was a website out there where my biggest stalkers were openly discussing my every move, I would probably at least check it out.
