Submitted by scanner blue on December 26th, 2018 at 8:49 AM

We have a bowl game in three days and no one is talking football, tickets , what bar in Aukland is M friendly, etc. soooo.....time for a little OT.

Simple questions: 1. Why/what/who is your MGo Name? 2. Why/ what/ WTF is your avatar pic?

Easy Day

Name and avatar are from a beach trip interview with Big Will Campbell when the team was down in Florida for the 2013 Outback Bowl:

It's hard out here. I done fought two sharks, wrassled a sting ray, ate two crabs--had butter out there. It's hard out here but you know how we do it, I'm from Detroit. You know, it was nothing. Two great whites, punched a whale in the face... easy day. Go Blue.

Mine is a mash up between Taco Charlton and the hammering panda. Plus, i live in San Diego and we love our tacos and pandas. There you have it. Beat the gators and go blue!

My screen name is from my high school Odessa Permian Panthers (MOJO). The team in the movie Friday Night Lights. The year 91 is one of six of the teams state titles. 

The avatar is the helmet of the team, often mistaken for the Purdue helmet, it's insulting.

You Only Live Twice

Took me 2 days to read through all these with everything going on, so posting here late and likely no one will read it, here goes anyway.

Username was changed within a few months to a gender neutral name to avoid hostility encountered when I joined in 2013 and it worked.

It's a lyric from the song that was running through my head at the time, by Atlanta Rhythm Section, called "Do it or Die." One of my lifelong favorite songs.  I find the lyrics encouraging during difficult times, and well, 2013.

Avatar is the Las Vegas sign, favorite vacation destination from the time period from roughly 2004-2014, used to go there about once a year.

I'm not good at thinking up usernames and avatars, basically. Tried to ditch both for being Pam Beesly for a while, and the new site didn't recognize Pam so I had to go back to the previous.

Avatar is the French guy you owed to not rooting for Michigan Cricket's team at the Big House.

I am French (But soon to be also American so I guess I would have to update that), and my name is MG.

1) Obvious because I'm here on this board and I live in A2. Although I've thought of changing it as it kinda implies I'm just a fan. I'm also an alum. MM88.

2) Tate Forcier, following his pass to Matthews to beat ND in 2009. I chose it because it was one of about two happy moments in the RichRod era... the other being the unlikely come-from-behind win vs. Wisconsin.
