When your argument in 2015 centers around attendance changing in 2009 you should realize the bandwagon term has become less relevant over each of the last seven seasons.
OP going to the penalty box for a week because virtually every new thread from that account has been taken down recently.
Rumors
Yeah, I've got nothing, so here's Bananarama...
Josh Langford Official Visit
It would stay were it not for a clarifying tweet from Evan Daniels that Langford is in fact up the road at Michigan State, so I went on the assumption that would temper interest considerably.
Per a request, some backend cleanup of OT threads that may be pushing it a bit (plus stuff that probably falls int othe "kiosk" category):
OT – Shaving!
OT: Sports Bar in Pinehurst, NC
OT(h) -(Oh the Humanity) Nickelback cancels North American Summer Tour
That last one because Nickelback, that's why.
OT - Opinions please
This one might be outside of even the offseason OT boundaries as asking for opinions on someone's singing seems like it crosses that "kiosk" line. Also, without the videos, it's impossible to give an opinion anyway.
I definitely understand taking that thread down. There was a great post, though, that I was about to respond to in that thread. The advice was to make sure there's balance in the kid's life and to encourage them to go into a STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) field. Obviously if someone has a true passion for something else, they should be allowed to chase their dream, but just from experience, I have 3 kids, all college graduates, two in STEM and one in humanities. Guess which one in underemployed. I'm not saying everyone with a STEM degree is successful and everybody else struggles, but if you want the odds in your kid's favor, one way is to encourage any interest they have in STEM.
Your feelings if Michigan signs with Nike
This didn't seem to go very well.
*sings* Feelings, nothing more than feelings.....
*shows self out*
Crowd spoke. We're gonna need to take some steps to get rid of these ridiculous apparel threads.
OT: State Rankings
The Thrillist article made its appearance over the weekend here. If Michigan is #1 on any list anywhere, even if it is just the state and not a program in Ann Arbor, you can bet it will also show up here.
Tom Herman Sells Out O$U to Bama
I just don't think "O$U" is the vibe we're going for when we talk about rivals here. Let's strive to be at least a bit more clever than that.
Rumeal or Denard?
I have a suspicion this one was probably not going to go much of anywhere - at least when it comes to actually being debated - and we do need to start some strategic cleanup today anyway.
OT: Judge sends 3 kids to jail for refusing to see or speak to father
Way too OT, and this will inevitably devolve.
Pandemic of stupid continues in Ohio
I have grave doubts that this one was going to go well for the OP. I think the overriding message here is that no one really cares - nor should they - if Braxton Miller believes himself to be the best athlete in college football.
Lol Rutgers
I don't think this is going to go quite the way the OP intended. I think BTN showing last year's game is less about Rutgers and more about what Michigan - even in a hobbled state - means to the Big Ten. If it had been an upset of a ranked, undefeated Michigan, it's probably a BTN Classic in the more conventional sense.
I suggest dropping comment #42 in the worst venues thread
MSU Cotton Bowl Ring for sale
The OP is free to attempt this again, despite the late revision to it - just try not to be too reactionary if people aren't too thrilled about it. At this point, it would be difficult to salvage it because of how it was initially framed and because of the stance the OP took when criticized, which seems even stranger with the edits now.
If mods were robots I'm pretty sure the past tense would have made something blow up. Thankfully, we're mostly humans and/or ponies.
Seth to the rescue, although the +200 isn't there now.
You go off the blog to do a little GISHWES craziness and some podcasting....
Stadium wide Harbaugh chant prior to the Oregon State game
<Chant Discussion Disabled>
Yes, the chant discussion was disabled....rightfully so and by other MGoBloggers.

Is this something I get cash for or no? I was a broke student during the recession and can't remember.
Football Tidbits
I'll admit that I was out to dinner when this went on and from the upvotes, it didn't seem like it was bad, but the original post has since been deleted (not sure why - again, at dinner) and I don't know that it should necessarily stay up without the context. If there's a good reason to put it back, let me know and we can talk.
August 7th, 2015 at 10:07 AM ^
ESPN Mag Cover, one hint....
You have to get up pretty early in the morning to not see the latest in Harbaugh-related coverage around these parts. This was covered a couple days ago when the cover art was revealed. Still peeved about the lack of Sharpie in the depiction.
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
August 10th, 2015 at 11:45 PM ^
Client side.

The first of many this season, I'm sure:

Another Clothing Topic: Cheerleaders
There are plenty of other message boards where you can post that type of content. This isn't one.
August 12th, 2015 at 5:37 PM ^
Rumor: Bryan Mone Broken Leg and Possibly Out for Year
Can we cofirm before we post rumors?
EDIT: Orders from above - thread reinstated.
August 13th, 2015 at 12:56 PM ^
Another doucher
August 15th, 2015 at 8:23 PM ^
The GoFundMe page just raised the goal to $5000. Something is shady about this. Not doubting Argus but I think he's relying on a friend and the friend may have fallen for a bunch of BS.
August 18th, 2015 at 4:03 PM ^
He is? Show me?
August 19th, 2015 at 1:52 AM ^
Looks like it may have been deleted, but he posted a message repeatedly mocking the way Chinese people pronounce the letter L in English. It was pretty low-brow, and clearly rather racist.
August 18th, 2015 at 4:02 PM ^
Use the TiqIQ thing for this.
August 18th, 2015 at 4:19 PM ^
Thanks, just listed them.
August 19th, 2015 at 8:21 AM ^
...of which Teddy Blanks really shouldn't be one.
Twitter chatter: Matt Falcon [Ed. False Alarm]

OT: Overrun with Redskins v. Lions Preseason Tickets (ALL GONE)
The OP is welcome to create another thread should more become available. For Michigan tickets, everyone should use TiqIq.
August 19th, 2015 at 6:15 PM ^
Chase Utley reportedly traded to Los Angeles Dodgers
There's real football content now and this is stretching the bounds of OT regardless.
August 21st, 2015 at 8:03 AM ^
OT: Suck it Lions
Yeah, this is not going all that well and the rekindling of the Redskins team name debate that really drove it over the edge. That one was getting nasty.
August 21st, 2015 at 12:04 PM ^
August 21st, 2015 at 2:53 PM ^
'cause I just posted the same thing on the board, and we're far from the only ones affected.

OT - Breaking Bad Season 6 confirmed
Five FAKEs out of five.
August 24th, 2015 at 4:47 PM ^
Nah. Also, ten word tags are most likely not good tags.
August 26th, 2015 at 7:07 PM ^
Already posted. That said, I don't think any Ashley Madison news is productive for the board. There are plenty of places dissecting every last aspect of the hack, this doesn't need to be one of those places.
August 26th, 2015 at 11:55 PM ^
You are advised not to take the deletions personally - this is merely a baselining of content for the non-OT season. Moe to come tomorrow, assuming there are some stragglers.
