Who do you follow on Twitter for Michigan Football stuff?
Hello folks,
Aside from some of the obvious ones (the MGoCrew, Magnus, Space Coyote), who do you follow on Twitter for Michigan stuff? There can be different categories, for example:
- Recruiting News
- Gameday Live Analysis
- Michigan News
- Post-Game Analysis

Thanks for this post as I'm always looking for new follows. Here are my top ones:
@WolverineLounge, @wolverineswire, @Maizenbrew: general news and stories
@grant_newsome and @jakelong77: player's perspective
@sbell021: great at trolling rival fan bases (in particular Sparty)
@ItsAntWright: overall entertaining follow from former UM b-ball player
@SamWebb77: recruiting (although I typically learn more from Mgoblog)
@AaronBDesigns: I like his graphic design work
I'm usually too focused on the TV to follow anyone for real-time updates. But occasionally will look at @Nickbaumgardner posts during and after the game to get some less biased takes.

Great call on Scott Bell. Forgot about him in my list. Trolling legend.
September 14th, 2018 at 10:02 AM ^
One of the Daily’s finest exports!
September 14th, 2018 at 10:26 AM ^
Scott Bell----good stuff!
September 14th, 2018 at 7:00 AM ^
@midnightmaize for in game ranting
September 14th, 2018 at 4:29 PM ^
@LorneEC3 for bad commentary on bad non-Michigan games as well as occasional MACtion coverage.

Too soon

Apparently so! Loosen up everybody, i thought it was clever. Smile on this beautiful Friday!

You forgot @SkyPanther
September 14th, 2018 at 9:36 AM ^
who could forget that bastion of relevant fodder?
September 14th, 2018 at 8:30 AM ^
Ones that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
@internetraj - His contributions to Punt/Counterpunt on here are just a taste as to his usual Twitter output
@blueandjoe - I appreciate, among other things, his graphic design prowess (the designer of Ace's soon-to-be-on-his-body tattoo deserves a follow)
@smoothitron - quips, GIFs, dank photoshop memes, etc.
The list of amazing M photographers: @EUpchurchphoto, @MGoFrenchy, @DJPhotoVideo, @isaiahhole, @BlueBarronPhoto, @FullofTwitt, @Andysaidgoblue (I'm probably forgetting someone)
September 14th, 2018 at 8:33 AM ^
you had me at dank memes
/swoon
September 14th, 2018 at 8:35 AM ^
No one, really. I actually don’t have a twitter account. Not because I think it’s stupid or anything like that.
It’s just one more social media outlet that can distract me and suck up my time.
September 14th, 2018 at 8:52 AM ^
For news: Sam, Steve Lorenz, Nick B. Also follow MGoFeed so I know when a new post has been made.
Former players: Woodson, Desmond and Denard.
Current players: NONE.
September 14th, 2018 at 12:08 PM ^
If I had Twatter I would follow the exact same people as you but I don't have Twatter so therefore I only click on links to it when others post it.
September 14th, 2018 at 11:24 AM ^
This. I have dropped all social media besides FB, but it's only active because it's easier for my mom/grandma/extended family to get a hold of me through that than phone I guess. Havent posted on it in years tho.
Social media makes it too easy for the dregs of society to voice their ignorant garbage, that used to only be heard by their basement walls, to hundreds or thousands of people.
September 14th, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
I have none other than linkedin, which I don't actively use. I got suckered into it through work associates, and really wish I hadn't. I despise social media in general, message boards are as far as I go.
September 14th, 2018 at 8:52 AM ^
So it comes with a huge POLITICS warning, because that's her actual job, but every Saturday in the fall Jane Coaston (@cjane87) becomes a great Michigan Football follow.
September 14th, 2018 at 10:06 AM ^
Similar politics warning with @johndingell. Mostly old man yells at cloud, but damn, he has his moments.
September 14th, 2018 at 8:57 AM ^
My Twitter feed is my anti-MGoBlog. It's all politics, all the time.
Though there is this guy called Sports Days Past who posts the best full color historical sports photos. I highly recommend following him.
September 14th, 2018 at 9:53 AM ^
So I'm guessing...
@MarlKarx
@StalinStillBallin

@Jonye_West_
September 14th, 2018 at 9:33 AM ^
I'm surprised Adam Ghabour @qb9adam hasn't been listed yet
In 2017 he was basically doing it as a hobby yet was easily one of the best. Now hes working for some michigan news group but hes still solid. Hes definitely the most active michigan recruiting news guy on Twitter
Then there's the usual Lorenz, Webb, brown, dudek, etc
September 14th, 2018 at 9:38 AM ^
@EUpchurchPhoto for awesome game photos and the occasional banter with opposing fan bases.
September 14th, 2018 at 9:48 AM ^
All good answers. I hope whoever runs the Michigan Basketball twitter account reads this: There is no need to live-tweet games. Please stop. There are apps for that. You clutter my feed so. I hate to mute an otherwise good account. Sorry not sorry.
September 14th, 2018 at 9:54 AM ^
In addition to those I also follow @MGoFish, Garrett Fishaw. His main value is he follows a wider net of people than I do, including a lot of players and local reporters and retweets useful stuff that I'd otherwise miss.
September 14th, 2018 at 10:29 AM ^
Twitter is the devil.
September 14th, 2018 at 10:56 AM ^
I created a public Twitter list of 200+ accounts that primarily tweet about Michigan football and M sports. Anyone can subscribe/follow:
https://twitter.com/mhacker97/lists/michigan-wolverines
September 14th, 2018 at 2:49 PM ^
Upvoted, but that's awesome I'm saving it for if I ever create a twitter account or find an easy way to aggregate them into one source.
September 14th, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
Brian, Ace, Steve Deace,Sam Webb and Gregg Henson
September 14th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
I only tweet recruits. /s
I don't have a twitter, is there a way to aggregate twitter posts similar to RSS feeds without requiring an actual twitter account? Perhaps I should create one but then again I haven't made a post on facebook in 7 years either.
I'll get off my own lawn now...
September 14th, 2018 at 4:44 PM ^
Harbaugh is the only one I follow on twitter!
September 14th, 2018 at 6:23 PM ^
That is all you need...
