OT - What would you like to see at MGO?
I was thinking about this topic midseason and it seemed a bit OT, so I shelved it until the season was over. Then BPONE assaulted me, but Michigan basketball is bringing me back out of the darkness. I saw a post about whether or not people would like more OSU content on the board. There are a lot of Michigan sites out there, most just pumping out tidbits of semi-useful information constantly, but there are some things I find interesting.
I love the Opponent Watch, and I think it's "brevity" makes it great, but I would enjoy a longer version, maybe after every 4 weeks about the general direction of the teams, important injuries etc.
Maybe a story every so often during the season about teams other than Michigan. Not a human interest story about Georgia Football, but maybe a conference rundown or thoughts opinions on some of the top teams in the country, since that's where we all would like Michigan to be.
An occasional article about Wolverines that have gone pro is popular as well and I think 247 has a list of the NFL guys each week.
I also would enjoy an annual or semi-annual piece co-written by Brian and Ramzy at 11W. (Hate the sin, love the sinner and all that.) He's a hilarious writer, one of the few on par with Brian and his sense of humor.
I also wouldn't oppose a non-sports related post. Maybe a UV without sports or politics or religion? Ehh..maybe.
Any suggestions or things you'd love to see?

Your time will come.

Mgoporn?
January 16th, 2019 at 2:06 PM ^
See the comment above that says "NCAA Finals muppets."
January 16th, 2019 at 2:14 PM ^
I am on board with Mgoporn, as long as Fauxmo has no influence on the content...
January 16th, 2019 at 2:58 PM ^
Or spicyweiner
January 16th, 2019 at 3:10 PM ^
We have options:
Mouth Breather Mondays
Toilet Cooler Tuesdays
Wed My Sister Wednesdays
edit:
this was suppose to be in reply to Hatter suggesting we have something on our blog about Ohio like they have Michigan Mondays.
Double edit:
Thinking about it...It might be funnier as porn suggestions

Well, they were the only two that applied for the job, so.......*quietly rephrases ad for publication, trashes resumes*
January 16th, 2019 at 2:00 PM ^
Feel free to write you own content. But- no rational reason to take up a thread on describing it. Just do it and post it as a diary.
It seems like useless thread day.
January 16th, 2019 at 3:59 PM ^
How about "What kind of gravy do you like on your porn?"
January 16th, 2019 at 6:19 PM ^
You must not have read the gravy threads.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:01 PM ^
I would like to see a breakdown of different run plays and formations to help refute the fans that complain that our offense is too basic or boring. We could call it Breakdown Sports or something.
January 16th, 2019 at 5:08 PM ^
Wait - Space Coyote - Is that you?
January 16th, 2019 at 6:11 PM ^
What if they called it something like "Upon Further Review"?
January 16th, 2019 at 2:01 PM ^
Brian commissioned you for this study?
January 16th, 2019 at 2:03 PM ^
Gravy recipes?
January 16th, 2019 at 2:05 PM ^
Only if they are posted on 11 Warriors and use bedbugs as a primary ingredient.
January 16th, 2019 at 3:34 PM ^
i want to see a forensic exam of engler to see if, in fact, he is made of gravy.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:05 PM ^
A UFR of a win over Ohio State?
January 16th, 2019 at 3:26 PM ^
This is the second best answer. Right behind the porn answer.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:06 PM ^
I would like to see Draftageddon be axed.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:15 PM ^
Along with Reddit CFB Risk. Think both appeal to the same crowd...
January 16th, 2019 at 2:43 PM ^
I'll say this, as someone who likes CFB Risk but loathes Draftageddon, I disagree.
January 16th, 2019 at 3:10 PM ^
CFBRisk was fine since 1) Risk is an awesome board game and no one will convince me otherwise and 2) it actually allows for fan involvement in college rivalries during an otherwise dull period of the off season
January 16th, 2019 at 2:20 PM ^
I've never understood why they don't do a rankings write-up of all the position groups in the Big Ten (or the opponents on the schedule), highlighting the players to watch on each team at those positions. I would find that a lot more interesting.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:10 PM ^
OSU UFRs from the past decade
January 16th, 2019 at 2:13 PM ^
So, you'd like to relive pain. That's odd.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:17 PM ^
This.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:13 PM ^
I posted this earlier, but I'd like to see a "Michigan Monday" style write-up of OSU games.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:51 PM ^
I’m not sure I want to stomach seeing OSU being praised and gloated over in any way.
January 16th, 2019 at 3:22 PM ^
Agreed. Not until we are competitive vs. OSU should we be posting any regular OSU focused content. That makes 0 sense. Lets talk about how great our rival is and get us hyped up for our annual choke fest.
Maybe we win 2 in a row then we can start that discussion, but who knows how long thats gonna be...
January 16th, 2019 at 2:14 PM ^
I'd like to see Simpson added to the banner - maybe doing his big walk.
Unless the idea was to keep him off of the banner as motivation to go out and destroy all comers, in which case carry on.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:14 PM ^
Moar condiment threads.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:17 PM ^
We already had two gravy threads today, which seem like enough. You need to ketchup on old posts...
January 16th, 2019 at 2:20 PM ^
Sriracha to you -add some spiciness to your post.
January 16th, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
I relish these ideas.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:16 PM ^
A mobile app without ads. I would pay a $3 per month Subscription for such a thing.
A way to sort threads by number of upvotes/downvotes the OP gets so all the OT garbage gets pushed down the page.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:18 PM ^
A ban hammer option for OPs that create lame threads.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:45 PM ^
How about we start with voting buttons for OP? We'd like to downvote bad board posts, but as things stand the OP won't learn if they avoid the comments. Come on Human Element, get it together.

January 16th, 2019 at 2:26 PM ^
See The Banner, Touch.
January 16th, 2019 at 2:40 PM ^
Not anymore. The sexybits are gone. Google got around to dinging TTB for it, too, just like they did to MGoBlog.
January 16th, 2019 at 3:09 PM ^
Fucking puritans. I'm really beginning to hate all of the tech companies.
Oh no, a nipple! SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING!

The Wild West of Internet Sexybits is coming to an end, folks. Gird you password-protected "homework" folders.
