Lets not.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:33 AM ^
Eventually there will be a gore porn movie featuring MurderWolv, Brutus, Bucky and the guy that wears a storm trooper costume to games.
September 27th, 2018 at 12:01 PM ^
Don't forget Gritty. He'd be in the doorway watching like it's The Shining.
September 27th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
I love Gritty and continue to be amazed that he got the green light. Only in hockey does this happen.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Only ironically.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Why not? Less of a "mascot" and more of a "spirit animal" for this season. But just for this season.
Next year's zeitgeist will cough up something more memetastic.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:35 AM ^
Dumbest idea ever. NO
September 27th, 2018 at 12:25 PM ^
Dumbest idea ever?
No!
September 27th, 2018 at 11:38 AM ^
When you say "our" are you saying MGoBlog or Michigan?
September 27th, 2018 at 11:39 AM ^
September 27th, 2018 at 2:16 PM ^
Without the tail deflation at the end, this gif is woefully incomplete.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:41 AM ^
Hail NO!
September 27th, 2018 at 11:50 AM ^
A mascot? No.
One does not cheapen the very thing which could finally unify General Relativity and Quantum Field Theory by making it a mascot. Its presence in the universe is too important for that.
September 27th, 2018 at 4:51 PM ^
Well, he could definitely be the answer to Schodinger's Cat ......both dead AND alive.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:53 AM ^
Nope. Just... Nope.
September 27th, 2018 at 11:56 AM ^
you don't MAKE murderwolf anything.
September 27th, 2018 at 12:01 PM ^
Sure. While we're at it, let's make the Arby's Curly Fry his sidekick and we'll place Kraft Rape Noodles at all four compass points around the stadium.
Some things just don't need to be considered, folks.
September 27th, 2018 at 12:04 PM ^
This seems like a better idea to me than the legends jerseys thing Hoke was trying to do lol
September 27th, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
This is a funny post to me, because I remember the (rightful) expressions of outrage when Brandon floated the idea of mascot as a way to market Michigan football to little kids.
I was against that idea, as I am against this current thing, whatever it is. Most of us on MGoBlog were against that particular Brandon idea, although I recall that it wasn't nearly unanimous.
Still, I can imagine that a lot of pot-smoking millennials might like this MGoMeme mascot the way that Brandon might have imagined little kids liking a fuzzy acrylic fur cartoon-figure mascot. I'm just surprised that the chosen name wasn't "Wolvie McWolf Face," in keeping with all other internet memes.
September 27th, 2018 at 1:42 PM ^
This is a funny post to me, because you are more like Dave Brandon than anyone else on this board.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
Well, back in the days of the NCAA/football/Stretchgate investigation, I thought that Brandon was a true, real, live hero. And he was virtually alone among U-M administrators, in standing up against the Free Press and the other media, and in respectfully fighting the NCAA with every resource at his disposal. Mary Sue Coleman and the Regents and others did and said very little.
The attorney that represented Michigan in that case, the preeminent Gene Marsh of Lightfoot, Franklin & White in Birmingham, AL, emailed me in response to a question I had, and said to me, "You should be very proud of your alma mater." I was, and was particularly proud of Brandon's exemplary handling of it.
I don't agree with everything Brandon ever did. His vague, rumored-only "mascot" idea is one of those things that I thought was awful.
But unlike a lot of MGBloggers, I don't ridicule everything Brandon ever did.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
Concern trolling in a thread about a stupid fake mascot. Cool.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:27 PM ^
Upon reflection, I'm actually surprised Brandon didn't get an accidentally creepy kids mascot in circulation a la the pantless Clark the Cub with Poochie the Dog hat/hair attitude.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
Curly Rape Noodles is the name of my Sex Pistols cover band.
September 27th, 2018 at 12:03 PM ^
No. As a fan in the stands he's amusing as a sort of anti-mascot. Having him as an actual sideline-roaming mascot loses all the irony.
September 27th, 2018 at 12:09 PM ^
But the marketing activation possibilities! The kids who won't become fans if they don't have a mascot with whom to take a selfie! Won't anyone think of the children?
September 27th, 2018 at 12:12 PM ^
I propose a Murderwolf turnover head!
Just imagine David Long gets a huge pick, late in the game, goes to the sideline and puts the Murderwolf head on, the place would go insane!
September 27th, 2018 at 12:25 PM ^
University of Michigan mascot? No, but thanks for asking.
MGoBlog Mascot? It already is for this season, and I'm fine with that.
September 27th, 2018 at 12:26 PM ^
No mascot. Definitely not that thing.
September 27th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
Don Brown should cut its head off and then rub it in the faces of his dudes on the sideline.
September 27th, 2018 at 1:17 PM ^
No to official Mascot.
Hell yes to unofficial mascot!
September 27th, 2018 at 1:23 PM ^
No way. That thing is MGoUgly.
September 27th, 2018 at 4:52 PM ^
So that's a "yes"?
September 27th, 2018 at 1:46 PM ^
Yes, it is awesome! The smug alumni of this great University need to get a sense of humor and embrace it! Neg me to Bolivia if you must! I will just become a martyr for the MuderWolv, the new face of the program. Also, MurderWolv could be the first female mascot!
September 27th, 2018 at 2:25 PM ^
You lost me with that last line. Why can't mascots - especially not mascots - just be gender neutral?
September 27th, 2018 at 2:48 PM ^
He lost me with "neg me to Bolivia", when everyone knows that points still don't work. Fake bravery!
Instead of negging, I will just fart in your general direction.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:35 PM ^
Did you just assume MurderWolv's gender?
You're playing with fire.
September 27th, 2018 at 5:56 PM ^
Oh I didn't assume. MurderWolv, FTR, is not furry everywhere.
September 27th, 2018 at 4:53 PM ^
Straight Creeeeepy.
September 27th, 2018 at 1:57 PM ^
I think it'd be a great idea.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:33 PM ^
Are you "the one"
September 27th, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Uhhhhhh....how bout fuck no.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:05 PM ^
I'm going to *nay* that so hard, I should probably root for a horse to be our mascot.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:22 PM ^
What is 8Ball hiding from?
You make it official and the crimes will come to light. Never unmask!
September 27th, 2018 at 2:37 PM ^
This feral mascot thing is glorious. It should be embraced and adored imho.
September 27th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
God damn it, man. NO.
WTF
I hope this is just an attention needy type thread, and you don't actually think that.
September 27th, 2018 at 3:07 PM ^
How about the Blog’s mascot?
September 27th, 2018 at 3:56 PM ^
I google image searched as I can't remember exactly the graphic and too many furry images.
I vote no, go yiff elsewhere.
September 27th, 2018 at 3:59 PM ^
I predict there will be over 100 threads on this in the next two weeks.
