Kill it with fire.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:30 AM ^
No. NO. NO! NO!!!!!!! We don't need a mascot.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:36 PM ^
I would be ok with him being the MGoBlog mascot!!!
September 27th, 2018 at 7:03 PM ^
Exactly - Michigan is quaintly different. We don't have a blizzard of advertisement inside the stadium. We don't see ads for "Mom and Pop grocery" or "Next Door Pharmacy". The pep band, cheerleaders and dance squad seem to do fine without person dressed up as a wolverine.
It makes a great spirit animal for this blog, however, and I love how the Murderwolf has been photoshopped into both real and fictional history. The picture from the Shining and as Jack Ruby were well done.
September 27th, 2018 at 8:06 PM ^
"fictional"?
September 27th, 2018 at 12:00 PM ^
Do we really think that thing is susceptible to fire?
September 27th, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
Nope, MurderWolv has +30DR against fire in the bestiary, I looked it up.
September 27th, 2018 at 10:37 AM ^
Better yet, fire Harbaugh and make MurderWolv our new head coach!!!!
September 27th, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
Ummmmm, no.......
September 27th, 2018 at 5:16 PM ^
Swing and a miss.
September 27th, 2018 at 10:39 AM ^
He already was our mascot. Just from an alternate timeline where the administration designed a mascot in-house in like the 1950s. He was kinda scary and rough around the edges, like all original mascots. But he was replaced by a clean and polished version in the 90s so he came here.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:56 PM ^
Very Stephen King like - nice.
I wonder in that alternative universe if Sparty has no mascot - and has lost their inferiority complex...
September 27th, 2018 at 3:58 PM ^
In said alternate universe they run a farming commune instead of a college where they have their own sovereignty and rape is legal. They also are illiterate.
September 28th, 2018 at 2:11 PM ^
We have always been at war with East Asia.
September 27th, 2018 at 10:41 AM ^
NO. It is like holiday movies in hallmark channel. Cute for a week annoying for the rest of December.
September 27th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
So this.
It's funny for a few days, like Seinfeld. Don't make this serious.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:58 PM ^
I get your point, but probably not a great comparison. Seinfeld is so timeless it's still in syndication 20+ years later.
September 27th, 2018 at 10:45 AM ^
If by "mascot" you mean that image which all MeMes from now on will feature .....cool.
If you mean something that ends up in a Rocket Mortgage commercial, than I hope you get MurderWolv'd ;)
September 27th, 2018 at 10:45 AM ^
This bit is a victim of diminishing returns.
September 27th, 2018 at 10:49 AM ^
Put it in a Rocket Mortgage rocket and fire it at the sun.
September 27th, 2018 at 10:51 AM ^
Yes yes so much yes with this, murderwolv is awesome!
September 27th, 2018 at 10:53 AM ^
It's fun as a joke.
But dear god, no.
September 27th, 2018 at 10:59 AM ^
It WAS fun as a joke. After this OP, joke is over. Pin some raw beef on it and throw it into a cage with Bench Mason.
No no no no mascot. Ever.
September 27th, 2018 at 10:54 AM ^
MurderWolv is as legitimate a mascot and/or deity that I can think of. I'm for it.
September 27th, 2018 at 10:58 AM ^
No.
No mascot needed. And the Wolverbear is better mascot material than an (admittedly enjoyable) internet sensation.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:02 AM ^
Anyone ever seen Lloyd Brady and Murderwolf in the same room? Didn't think so.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:02 AM ^
If we're ever gonna bite the bullet and have one he should be it. It's time!
September 27th, 2018 at 12:04 PM ^
No. Murderwolf is much more compelling as a mysterious figure who just kind of appears at the stadium. Also his true identity must be protected at all costs.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:06 AM ^
I do not understand this thing. Why is this a thing?
September 27th, 2018 at 2:58 PM ^
Internet.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:07 AM ^
What is the story behind it? Is it just some student who decided to have a Wolverine costume made? Is it an alien trying to be discreet? Is it DB Cooper in disguise? I must really be out of the loop because I don't have any clue where this thing came from.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:09 AM ^
Did you not see the GIF? It's always been here. I don't think the origins of time itself are good board fodder.
September 27th, 2018 at 3:34 PM ^
It transcends time. Some things simply can’t be explained. It was and is and is to come.
This thing is going to reverse the curse - no more fumbled punt snaps, players stopped short and given a first down, etc.
September 27th, 2018 at 4:11 PM ^
Forever too soon.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:16 AM ^
It started popping up during Fox’s pregame coverage at Michigan games this year. And it’s slowly gained “popularity”.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:36 AM ^
It never came from anywhere, it just ... always was. Some say it is what initiated the big bang.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:09 AM ^
These are the type of threads we get and yet some people complain about a thread on how next year’s team might look. Ok then.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:14 AM ^
Fuck it, I’m on board
September 27th, 2018 at 11:17 AM ^
Avatar checks out.
September 27th, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
It’s a joke, lighten up grandpa
September 27th, 2018 at 1:05 PM ^
Avatar continues to check out. Nice double-down.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:19 AM ^
Yeah.....and while we're at it lets reach out to the student group from a few years ago that wanted to write a new fight song and get that going too....NOT!!!!!
September 27th, 2018 at 11:26 AM ^
I thought Pop Evil was the new fight song.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:20 PM ^
A student group actually wanted to do that? Da fuck??
September 27th, 2018 at 3:02 PM ^
And they wanted the school to fund the project.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:26 AM ^
The only satisfactory mascot would be a live wolverine, which would be released from a cage onto the field before kickoff, right in front of a cat (or some other useless small animal) wearing the opposing team's jersey.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:28 AM ^
Short answer...no!
Leave him to be a cryptid and the stuff of legend....let the MurderWolv be free and do as he (she, it?) wishes and not be captive to corporate interest as is the norm to all mascots
September 27th, 2018 at 11:32 AM ^
Just cause I was a bit bored.. I went browsing and came across this.
